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.
All functions are available when the vehicle is parked.
Do the following before driving:
•Become familiar with the navigation system
operation, hard keys 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
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.
{CAUTION:
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.
1-4

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.
You should 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 may 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, you must always
evaluate whether following the system’s directions is safe
and legal for the current conditions.
When the navigation system is turned on, a screen may
appear with the information below, and you must
read and acknowledge the information it contains.
{CAUTION:
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:
•Always concentrate on your driving first by keeping
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.
1-5

After you acknowledge the start up information you will
be able to access the NAV (navigation) and DEST
(destination) functions. Once accessed, you can enter
or delete information in the navigation system or access
other functions. See instructions later in this section.
Every fifty times the vehicle is started and the navigation
system is turned on, the Caution screen appears. After
reading the caution, select 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. You can also press the NAV hard key to have
this Caution screen appear.
When getting started, set the navigation system to your
preference or delete information you may have
entered using various options.
Language
To change the language of the prompts that appear
on the navigation screens, see “DIC Operation
and Displays” in the Index of the vehicle’s owner
manual.
Deleting Personal Information
This navigation system can record and store destinations.
You may want to delete stored destinations when the
vehicle is sold or the lease has expired. Refer to the
following sections to delete the destination information
that has been stored.
