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

Black plate (5,1)
Chevrolet Corvette Navigation System - 2013 - CRC - 3/5/12
Infotainment System 5
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.
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 50 times the vehicle is started
and the navigation system is turned
on, the Caution screen appears.
After reading the caution, select
Agree to load the map DVD
information. If Agree is not selected,
all control buttons except for NAV
(Navigation) and DEST
(Destination) can be accessed.
When getting started, set your
preferences or delete information in
the navigation system using various
options.

Radio
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.

If tuned to a station broadcasting
RDS information, the station's
Program Service (PS) and Program
Type (PTY) replace 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

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

on, if the current station has a
message, INFO displays. Press
INFO from the preset menu to view
the message. If the whole message

alert announcement plays. The
audio system uses TA volume
during these announcements. To
increase volume, use the VOL up
and down buttons during the
announcement. See “Voice
Guidance Volume Settings”under
Navigation Set Up on page 54.
When an alert announcement
comes on the tuned radio station, it
will be heard even if the volume is
muted or a CD is playing. If the CD
player is playing, the player stops
for the announcement and resumes
when the announcement is finished.
Home and Away Preset
Stations
If the vehicle has this feature, the
audio system settings that were
adjusted the last time the vehicle
was operated can be recalled. This
feature allows two different drivers
to store and recall their own audio
system settings. The adjusted
settings are recalled by the audio
system and are determined by
which Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter (1 or 2) that was used to
enter the vehicle. The number on
the back of the RKE transmitter
corresponds to driver 1 or to
driver 2.
The audio system can store HOME
and AWAY preset stations. HOME
and AWAY preset stations allow the
use of one set of preset radio
settings in a local area, and another
set not in the local broadcast area.
This eliminates the need to
reprogram preset stations while
traveling out of the area.

to be reset. However, the non-local
preset stations must be reset.
