Overview
Read this manual thoroughly to
become familiar with how the
navigation system operates.
The navigation system includes
navigation and audio functions.
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 with this
by disabling some features when
driving. A grayed-out function is
not available when the vehicle is
moving.

Black plate (5,1)
Chevrolet Corvette Navigation System (Includes Mex) - 2012
Infotainment System 5
All functions are available when the
vehicle is parked. Do the following
before driving:
.Become familiar with the
navigation system operation,
buttons on the faceplate, and
touch-sensitive screen buttons.
.Set up the audio by presetting
favorite stations, setting the
tone, and adjusting the
speakers.
.Set up the navigation features,
such as entering an address or
a preset destination.
.Set up phone numbers in
advance so they can be
called easily by pressing a
single button or a single voice
command for navigation systems
equipped with phone capability.
{WARNING
Taking your eyes off the road too
long or too often while using the
navigation system could cause
a crash and you or others could
be injured or killed. Focus your
attention on driving and limit
glances at the moving map on
the navigation screen. Use voice
guidance 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.
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. 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 information that must be read
and acknowledged before accessing
some navigation features.

started and the navigation system
is turned on, the Caution screen

DVD information. If Agree is not
selected, all control buttons except
for NAV (Navigation) and DEST

AM-FM Radio
Notice: Before adding any sound
equipment to the vehicle, such
as an audio system, CD player,
CB radio, mobile telephone,
or two-way radio, make sure that
it can be added by checking with
your dealer. Also, check federal
rules covering mobile radio
and telephone units. If sound
equipment can be added, it is
very important to do it properly.
Added sound equipment can
interfere with the operation of
the vehicle's engine, radio,
or other systems, and even
damage them. The vehicle's
systems can interfere with the
operation of sound equipment
that has been added.
Notice: The chime signals related
to safety belts, parking brake,
and other functions of the vehicle
operate through the navigation
system. If that equipment is
replaced or additional equipment
is added to the vehicle, the
chimes may not work. Make sure
that replacement or additional
equipment is compatible with the
vehicle before installing it. See
“Accessories and Modifications”
in the vehicle's owner manual.
Your vehicle has a feature called
Retained Accessory Power (RAP).
RAP lets the audio system play

Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio
Data System (RDS). RDS features
are available for use only on FM
stations that broadcast RDS
information. With RDS, the
radio can do the following:
.Seek to stations broadcasting
the selected type of
programming.
.Receive announcements
concerning local and national
emergencies.
.Display messages from radio
stations.
.Seek to stations with traffic
announcements.
RDS (Radio Data System): Press
RDS to use alternate RDS functions
located in the preset menu. After
pressing RDS, quickly choose RDS
ON/OFF, TA, INFO, PTY, or Select
PTY. If a selection is not made,
the system returns to the
previous menu.
If tuned to a station broadcasting
RDS information, the station's
Program Service (PS) and Program
Type (PTY) replaces the station's
frequency on the status line at
the top of the display. After about
five seconds, if available, the PTY
is replaced on the display by the
station's PTY name. The PTY and
PTY name can be the same or
different.
If the audio system is tuned to a
station that is not broadcasting RDS
information, the station's frequency
remains on the display.
The RDS feature relies upon
receiving specific information from
RDS stations. These features only
work when RDS information is
available.

stays in the player and resumes
play at the point where it stopped.
