Overview
Read this manual thoroughly to
become familiar with how the
navigation system operates.
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 do this. Some
features may be disabled while
driving. Note that these functions
are grayed-out. A grayed-out
function indicates it is not available
when the vehicle is moving.
All functions are available when the
vehicle is parked. Before driving:
.Become familiar with the
navigation system operation,
buttons on the faceplate, and
touch-sensitive screen buttons
of the navigation system.
.Set up the audio by presetting
favorite stations, setting the
tone, and adjusting the
speakers.
.Set up the navigation features
before beginning to drive, such
as entering an address or a
preset destination.
.Set up 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 with phone capability).
{WARNING
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.
{WARNING
Avoid looking too long or too
often at the moving map on the
navigation screen. This could
cause a crash and you or others
can be injured or killed. Use the
turn-by-turn voice guidance
directions whenever possible.
Use the navigation system to:
.Plan a route.
.Select a destination using
various methods and choices.
.Follow turn-by-turn route
and map guidance with voice
prompts, only if permitted by
traffic laws, controls, and
conditions.
.Receive RDS broadcast
announcements.

Infotainment System 5
Always be alert and obey traffic
and roadway laws and instructions,
regardless of the guidance from
the navigation system. Because the
navigation system uses street map
information that does not include
all traffic restrictions or the latest
road changes, it could suggest
using a road that is now closed
for construction or a turn that
is prohibited by signs at the
intersection. Because the system
uses limited information, always
evaluate whether following the
system's directions are safe and
legal for the current conditions.
When the navigation system is
turned on, a screen might appear
with the information below. Read
and acknowledge the information
it contains.
After acknowledging the start up
information you will be able to
access the NAV (navigation)
and DEST (destination) functions.
Once accessed, enter or delete
information in the navigation
system or access other functions.
See instructions later in this section.
Each time the vehicle is started
and the navigation system is turned
on, the Caution screen appears.
Press OK to accept the Caution.
If OK is not selected, all buttons
except for NAV (Navigation)
and DEST (Destination) can
be accessed. Once the NAV
or DEST buttons are pressed,
this Caution screen appears
and OK must be pressed to
access the navigation map.
When getting started, set your
preferences or delete information
in the navigation system using
various options.
