Getting Started
Before you begin to operate the navigation system, read
this manual thoroughly to become familiar with it and to
understand how the system works.
Keeping your mind on the drive is important for safe
driving. See “Defensive Driving” in the Index of your
vehicle’s owner manual for more information. Get familiar
with your vehicle’s navigation system so you can use it
with less effort and take full advantage of its features.
Your navigation system includes not only navigation,
but also audio functions. While your vehicle is parked:
•Familiarize yourself with all of its controls: hard keys
on the faceplate and touch-sensitive screen buttons.
•Familiarize yourself with its operation.
•Set up your audio by presetting your favorite stations,
setting the tone, and adjusting the speakers. Then,
when driving conditions permit, you can tune to your
favorite stations using the presets and steering wheel
controls (if equipped).
•Set up the navigation features that can only be done
before you begin driving, such as entering an
address or a preset destination.
1-3

Entering a destination or alphanumeric text requires
many steps, so you can only perform these operations
when the vehicle is in PARK (P). You will notice
that touch-sensitive screen buttons leading to the
alphanumeric keyboard are dimmed out while driving.
Other functions may also be locked out while driving and
they too will appear grayed out on the screen — but all
functions are available when parked. Some functions can
be performed while driving, as long as you can do so
without diverting too much of your attention from your
driving.
{CAUTION:
This system provides you with a far greater
access to audio stations and song listings.
Giving extended attention to entertainment
tasks while driving can cause a crash and you
or others can be injured or killed. Always keep
your eyes on the road and your mind on the
drive — avoid engaging in extended searching
while driving.
1-4

{CAUTION:
Looking at the moving map on the navigation
screen frequently or for too long while driving
can cause a crash and you or others can be
injured or killed. Keep your eyes and mind on
the road and avoid looking too long or too
often at the moving map on the navigation
screen. Use the voice guidance directions
whenever possible.
The navigation system allows you to do the following:
•Plan a route with provided turn-by-turn route
and map guidance with voice prompts. See
Plan Route on page 2-18 for more information.
•Select a destination using various methods and
choices.
•Receive broadcast announcements on traffic and
emergency alert communications.
The information in the system may not always be
complete. Road conditions such as prohibited turns,
detours, and construction zones, change frequently.
It is important to consider whether you can follow the
directions given by the system for the current conditions.
When getting started, you may set the navigation
system to your preference using various options.
To do so, reference the following topics:
•To adjust screen appearance, language, clock,
English/metric measurements, or other options,
see “Main Audio Menu” under Navigation Audio
System on page 3-2.
•To adjust voice guidance volume or other navigation
settings, see Setup Menu on page 2-4.

Maps
This section includes basic information you need to
know about the map database.
Regional Maps
The maps are stored on a DVD-ROM. The 48 contiguous
United States and portions of Canada are contained on
one disc. The U.S. map database includes interstate
freeways, state highways, country roads, and major and
general streets.
Refer to the “Navigation System Map Disc” manual to
view the explanation of map coverage and detailed
city lists in each region. The map disc manual will be
in your map DVD case when the vehicle is delivered
from the factory.
When your vehicle is delivered from the factory, the
dealer may have installed the map DVD. If the map DVD
was not installed in your vehicle when first purchased,
do the following:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the vehicle in PARK (P), press and hold the
TILT key until a beep is heard. The system’s
faceplate will open.
3. If already loaded, the map DVD or a CD will eject
from the slot.
4. Load the map DVD into the slot by inserting it
partway. The system will pull it in.
5. Press and release the TILT key to close the
faceplate.
Notice: Shifting out of PARK (P) with the system’s
faceplate open will cause the faceplate to close
automatically. This could cause damage to a CD, DVD
or the system if it is partially loaded. Before shifting
out of PARK (P), make sure that the DVD or CD is
loaded properly. The vehicle must be shifted back
into PARK (P) to close the faceplate.
Once the map DVD is inserted correctly, you will have
the following two choices:
•LANGUAGE
•I AGREE
You can change the language at this time. See
“Language” under Navigation Audio System on page 3-2
for more information on choosing a language. Once a
language has been selected, touch I AGREE to plan a
route. The map will appear showing your current vehicle
position.

of the states or the country included in the selected
region will be displayed at the bottom of the screen

You may also adjust the scale of the map by touching
the scale on the bar. The scale of a map can range from
1/32 of a mile (0.05 km) to 128 miles (256 km).
Scrolling the Map
Touch anywhere on the
map screen twice to
display the scroll symbol.
Place your finger on the map screen in any direction
outside of the scroll symbol to scroll in that direction. The
map will continue to scroll until you remove your finger.

scroll at a slower rate. The rate will increase if you

If your vehicle is in motion, there is one scroll speed
and a limited distance to scroll. You must keep touching
the map screen to scroll a longer distance.
