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.
Any route suggestions made by this navigation system
may never override local traffic regulations, your
own judgement, and/or knowledge of safe driving
practices.
Disregard route suggestions made by the navigation
system if such suggestions would; cause you to perform
a hazardous or illegal maneuver, place you in a
hazardous situation, or route you into an area you
consider unsafe.
DVD Map Disc noise, when entering the vehicle and
turning the vehicle off, is normal system operation.
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.
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.
1-4

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.
{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.
•Select a destination using various methods and
choices.
•Receive RDS broadcast announcements.
You should always be alert and obey traffic and roadway
laws and instructions, regardless of the guidance from
the navigation system. The navigation system uses
street map information that does not include all traffic
restrictions or the latest road changes, it may suggest
using a road that is now closed for construction or a
turn that is prohibited by signs at the intersection.
1-5

The system uses limited information, you must always
evaluate whether following the system’s directions is safe
and legal for the current conditions.
Each time the vehicle is started and the navigation
system is turned on, the Caution screen may appear
or the previous active screen will appear dependent on
system power off time. If the Caution screen appears,
touch OK to load the map DVD information. If OK is
not selected, all hard keys except for NAV (Navigation)
and DEST (Destination) can be accessed.
Once the NAV or DEST hard keys are pressed, this
Caution screen will appear and OK must be pressed to
load the map DVD information from the map disc.
When getting started you may set the navigation system
to your preference or delete information you may have
entered using various options. To do so, reference the
following topics.
Language — English/Metric
To change the language of the navigation screens,
see “DIC Vehicle Customization” in the Index of your
vehicles owner manual.
To change the navigation screens from English or
metric, see “DIC Operation and Displays” in the Index
of your vehicles owner manual.
Deleting Personal Information
This navigation system can record and store personal
information such as names and addresses. At times,
such as when you are disposing of your vehicle, you
may want to delete this information. See “Edit Address
Book — Edit/View” under Configure Menu on page 2-29
for deleting information from the address book.

on one disc.
Detailed Areas
Road network attributes are contained in the map
database for detailed areas. Attributes include
information such as street names, street address, turn
restrictions, etc. A detailed area will include all major
highways, service roads, and residential roads. The
detailed areas include points of interest (POI) such as:
restaurants, airports, banks, hospitals, police stations,
gas stations, tourist attractions, historical monuments,
etc. The map database may not include data for newly
constructed areas or map database corrections that are
completed after the production of the disc. The navigation
system will provide full route guidance in the detailed map
areas.
Limited Guidance Areas
Any area that is not classified as detailed is a limited
guidance area. Limited guidance streets will be

The navigation system will inform you by voice prompts
when you are traveling into a limited guidance area where
route guidance will not be available. The street maps and
