Chevrolet Cruze Navigation System - 2012
4 Infotainment System
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.
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 (only for Navs/
Radios with RDS.)

Black plate (5,1)
Chevrolet Cruze Navigation System - 2012
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 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.
After acknowledging the
start up information, the NAV
(Navigation) and DEST
(Destination) functions are
accessible. Information can now
be entered or deleted, and other
functions accessed. 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 control buttons except
for NAV (Navigation) and DEST
(Destination) can be accessed. You
can also press NAV to have this
Caution screen appear.
When getting started, set your
preferences or delete information in
the navigation system using various
options.
Navigation System Overview
The navigation system is controlled
by using the buttons on the
faceplate and the touch screen.
The eight-way selector arrows can
be pressed from side to side, up,
or down to navigate the map.
