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.
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.
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 broadcast announcements on traffic and
emergency alert communications.
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.
The system uses limited information, you must always
evaluate whether following the system’s directions
is safe and legal for the current conditions.
