Infotainment System 3

Overview
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).
{WARNING
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.
{WARNING
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.
4 Infotainment System

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.
{WARNING
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.
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.

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): Touch
RDS to use alternate RDS functions
located in the preset menu. After
touching 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.
TA (Traffic Announcement): Touch
TA to receive traffic announcements.
TA displays if the current station
broadcasts traffic announcements.
If the current station does not
broadcast traffic announcements, the
audio system seeks to a station that
does and stops. If no station is found,
TA turns off.
While a traffic announcement plays,
the audio system uses TA volume.
To increase TA volume, use the
VOL up or down buttons during
the announcement. See “Voice
Guidance Volume Settings” under
Navigation Set Up on page 55 for
more information.
When a traffic announcement comes
on the current radio station, it can be
heard even if the volume is muted or
a CD is playing. If the CD player was
being used, the CD stays in the
player and resumes play at the point
where it stopped.
Touch RDS followed by TA again to
turn TA off.
Infotainment System 19

INFO (Information): When RDS
is on, if the current station has a
message, INFO displays. Touch
INFO from the preset menu to
view the message. If the whole
message does not display, parts
of the message appears every
three seconds until the message
is completed. Once the complete
message has been displayed, INFO
disappears from the display until
another new message is received.
INFO remains available so that the
entire message an be displayed
again.
PTY (Program Type): PTY only
seeks stations with certain program
types. This button is used to turn
on and off Program Type (PTY)
features.
With RDS on, touch RDS, followed
by PTY. The PTY display turns on.
Touch RDS followed by this button
again to turn the PTY display off.
Select PTY (Select Program Type):
With RDS and PTY on, touch RDS,
then Select PTY. The PTY menu
appears. Use the up and down
arrows to select a PTY.
When the PTY display is on, press
TUNE/SEEK or SCAN to find radio
stations of the PTY selected. The last
PTY selected is used for seek and
scan modes. If a station with the
selected PTY is not found, STATION
NOT FOUND displays. If both PTY
and TA are on, the audio system
searches for stations with traffic
announcements and the
selected PTY.
PTY (Program Type) Presets: The
six presets let you return to your
favorite PTYs. These presets
have factory PTY preset stations.
See “RDS Program Type (PTY)
Selections” later in this section.
Up to 12 PTYs, 6 FM1 and 6 FM2
can be set. To save a PTY preset:

the set PTY returns.
7. Repeat the steps for each
preset.
Touch the stored PTY preset station
for less than two seconds to recall it.
Then use TUNE/SEEK or SCAN to

off. ALERT displays while an alert
announcement plays. The audio
system uses TA volume during
these announcements.
