Getting Started

Read this manual thoroughly to become familiar with how the navigation system operates.

The navigation system includes navigation and audio functions.

While entering the vehicle or when turning the vehicle off, some DVD Map Disc noise is normal.

Keeping your eyes on the road and your mind on the drive is important for safe driving. The navigation system has built-in features intended to help keep your eyes on the road and mind on the drive. Some features may be disabled while driving. Note that these functions will be grayed-out. A grayed-out function indicates it is not available when the vehicle is moving.

1-4

All functions are available when the vehicle is parked. Do the following before driving:

• Set up the audio by presetting favorite stations,

setting the tone, and adjusting the speakers.

• Set up the navigation features before beginning

driving, such as entering an address or a preset destination.

• Set up your phone numbers in advance so they can

be called easily with the press of a single button or a single voice command (for navigation systems equipped with phone capability).

{ CAUTION:

Taking your eyes off the road too long or too often while using the navigation system could cause a crash resulting in injury or death to you or others. Focus your attention on driving.

choices.

• Follow turn-by-turn route and map guidance with

voice prompts, only if permitted by traffic laws, controls, and conditions.

You should always be alert and obey traffic and roadway laws and instructions, regardless of the guidance from the navigation system.

Because the

Taking your eyes off the road for extended periods could cause a crash resulting in injury or death to you or others.

To help avoid a crash in which you or others could be killed:

your eyes and mind on the road, and your hands on the wheel.

• Follow system directions only if permitted by traffic

laws, controls, and conditions.

• Before using this system, read the owner’s manual

and learn how it operates.

• Some system controls cannot be used the when

vehicle is moving.

XM NavTraffic™ (USA and Canada)

Your vehicle’s navigation system may have an XM NavTraffic receiver. XM NavTraffic is a subscription service provided via XM™ Satellite Radio. XM NavTraffic provides real-time traffic information fully integrated to the navigation system to display current traffic conditions for a driver’s chosen route. XM NavTraffic allows drivers to make the most informed, timesaving routing decisions.

If the Traffic touch screen button is pressed or if the traffic display in the Navigation Setup Menu is attempted to be turned on without a subscription, a warning screen displays indicating that XM traffic is not activated.

Three types of traffic information for major roadways are displayed on the navigation system:

• Unscheduled traffic incident data, such as accidents

and disabled vehicles

• Scheduled traffic incident data, such as road

construction and road closures

• Traffic ﬂow information (rate of speed data)

Traffic information is delivered to the vehicle by the XM™ Radio satellites. XM NavTraffic makes it possible for the navigation system to provide continuously updated traffic information personalized for a driver’s needs.

2-28

XM NavTraffic currently broadcasts the traffic information for many markets nationally, and the service may be available in more cities in the future. Visit xmnavtraffic.com for more details on local coverage.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

The navigation system determines the position of the vehicle by using satellite signals, various vehicle signals, and map data.

At times, other interferences such as the satellite condition, road conﬁguration, the condition of the vehicle and/or other circumstances can interfere with the navigation system’s ability to determine the accurate position of the vehicle.

The GPS shows the current position of the vehicle using signals sent by the GPS Satellites of the United States Department of Defense. When the vehicle is not receiving signals from the satellites, a symbol appears on the map screen. Refer to Symbols on page 2-7.

This system may not be available or interferences may occur if any of the following is true:

• Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees, large

trucks, or a tunnel.

• Objects are located on the rear shelf of the vehicle.

• Satellites are being repaired or improved.

• After-market glass tinting has been applied to the

vehicle’s rear windshield.

Using a Compressed Audio CD/DVD

Compressed Audio CD/DVD Format

There are guidelines that must be met, when creating an MP3, WMA, or mixed disc. If the guidelines are not met when recording a burned disc, the disc may not play. The guidelines are:

• ID3 tag information is displayed by the radio if it is

available. The radio supports ID3 tag information v1.0, v1.1, and v2.0. The radio displays a ﬁlename, song name, artist name, album name, and directory name.

• Maximum 32 characters, including spaces, in a ﬁle

or folder name.

• The recommended maximum number of folders is

100 with a maximum hierarchy of three folders.

3-11

• Create a folder structure that makes it easy to ﬁnd

songs while driving. Organize songs by albums using one folder for each album.

• All playlist ﬁles (.m3u or .pls) must be removed from

disc contents. Playlists are not supported.

• It is recommended that there is a maximum of

192 ﬁles on a CD-R(W) disc.

• It is recommended that there is a maximum of

200 ﬁles on a DVD+R(W) disc.

• The ﬁles can be recorded on a CD-R(W) or

DVD+R(W).

• Copy protected WMA ﬁles are not supported.

Scanning Compressed Audio Disc

Scanning a compressed audio disc categorizes and allows sorting of songs by folder artist or album.

• Select center folder/artist/album button to initiate

scanning mode. The radio plays and a progress bar displays.

• Background scanning occurs with the radio on and

the compressed audio disc inserted but not being played.

• Only the ﬁrst 200 songs appears in the compressed

audio music navigator.

• Scanning time varies depending on the number of

ﬁles and folders on the disc.

Root Directory

The root directory is treated as a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio ﬁles, the directory is displayed as ROOT. All ﬁles contained directly under the root directory is accessed prior to any root directory folders.

Empty Directory or Folder

If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the ﬁle structure that contains only folders/subfolders and no compressed ﬁles directly beneath them, the player advances to the next folder in the ﬁle structure that contains compressed audio ﬁles and the empty folder is displayed or numbered.

No Folder

When the disc contains only compressed ﬁles, the ﬁles are located under the root folder. The next and previous folder functions have no function on a disc that was recorded without folders. When displaying the name of the folder the radio displays ROOT.

3-12

Order of Play

Tracks are played in the following order:

• The radio does not support playlist ﬁles.

• Order of play differs depending if the compressed

audio disc is fully scanned or unscanned. See “Scanning Compressed Audio Disc” previously in this section.

• When playing an unscanned disc, the next and

previous screen buttons may be required to switch away from the current folder when quickly seeking rather than allowing the last song of a folder to play to completion.

• Play begins from the ﬁrst track under the root

directory. When all tracks from the root directory have been played, play continues from ﬁles according to their numerical listing. After playing the last track from the last folder, play begins again at the ﬁrst track of the ﬁrst folder or root directory.

• A scanned compressed audio disc in artist/album

modes only play songs within the current category. The next and previous screen buttons change to different artists or albums.

When play enters a new folder, the display does not automatically show the new folder name. The new track name displays.

File System and Naming

The song name that displays is the name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio displays the ﬁle name without the extension (such as .mp3) as the track name.

Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages are shortened. The display does not show parts of words on the last page of text and the extension of the ﬁlename does not display.

audio/video slot. See “Installing the Map DVD” under Maps on page 2-4.

normal, the DVD should play.

• The vehicle is being driven on a very rough road.

When the road becomes smoother, the DVD should play.

• The DVD is dirty, scratched, wet, or upside down.

• The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and

try again.

• There may have been a problem while burning

the DVD.

• The label may be caught in the DVD player.

If the DVD is not playing correctly, for any other reason, try a known good DVD.

If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be corrected, contact your dealer/retailer.

Care of Your CDs and DVDs

If playing recorded media such as a CD or DVD, the sound quality may be reduced due to CD or DVD quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, recording speed, max media recording speed, and the way the CD or DVD has been handled. There may be an increase in skipping, difficulty in ﬁnding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur, check the bottom surface of the CD or DVD. If the surface is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, it will not play properly. If the surface is soiled, see “Care of Your CDs and DVDs” in the Index of the vehicle’s owner manual.

If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD or DVD.

Notice: If a label is added to a CD or DVD, or more than one CD or DVD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs or DVDs, the player could be damaged. While using the CD or DVD player, use only CDs or DVDs in good condition without any label, load one CD or DVD at a time, and keep the player and the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids, and debris.

Do not add any label to a CD or DVD, it could get caught in the player. If a CD or DVD is recorded on a personal computer and a description label is needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD or DVD with a soft marker.
