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 you do this. Some features may be disabled while driving. Note, these functions are 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 the 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.
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. |
Always be alert, 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.
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.
This navigation system can record and store destinations. At times, such as when you are disposing of the vehicle, you may want to delete these destinations. Refer to the following sections to delete the destination information that has been stored.
See "Deleting Single Memory Points", "Deleting All Memory Points", "Preset Dests." (Destinations), "Home" and "Previous Dest." (Destination) under Edit Memory Pointfor deleting stored destinations.
To set preset radio stations:
See "Preset Station Menu" under Navigation Audio System for more information.
To set the time:
The radio uses the GPS satellite to set the time. The vehicle needs to be in an open area to receive the signal. See "Clock Adjust Menu" under Navigation Audio System for more information.
Before entering an Address, Point of Interest, Home, or Preset Destination, select the appropriate region that contains the final destination. The vehicle must be stopped to perform this operation.
To set the search area:
The system returns to the Destination menu. See Enter Destination for more information.
To set a destination by entering a street address:
Do not enter directional information or street type, and use the space screen button between street or city names. For example, the street name N. Royal Oak Rd. should be entered as royal oak. Use the backspace ( ) screen button if an incorrect character has been entered.
See "Address" under Enter Destination for more information.
To set a destination by entering a Point of Interest (POI):
Using the Category or City selections aid the system in finding your POI by limiting the search options.
See "All Points of Interest" under Enter Destination for more information.
Select a method for entering a destination. See Enter Destination for more information.
The Home icon will be highlighted on the DESTINATION screen. See "Using The Home or Previous Destinations" next to use the home or previous destinations as a route.
These destinations are available for selection while driving.
If the Previous Destination screen button is selected, a list of the last 10 previous destinations appear. Select the screen button next to the desired destination.
See "Home" and "Previous Destination" under Enter Destination for more information.
Guidance is canceled once the final destination has been reached. To cancel the current route prior to arrival at the final destination:
To adjust the volume of voice guidance prompts, do the following:
See "Voice Guidance Volume Settings" under Setup Menu for more information.
