Loading the map DVD
•Your navigation DVD unit is either located:
in the front lower center stack area by the passenger’s feet (access
door),
in the trunk,
or in the jack compartment.
•Ensure that the vehicle ignition is ON.
•If a DVD is already loaded in the Navigation unit, push the eject
button.
•Load the DVD with the printed side up. Do not allow moisture or
foreign objects to enter the slot.
The navigation system utilizes a database stored in a special format on a
DVD. It is recommended always to use the latest update of this map
DVD.
•The navigation system will only work with DVDs specifically intended
for your navigation system.
•Always store the map DVDs in their protective cases when not in use.
Ordering additional map DVDs
If you wish to order a replacement or additional map, or an updated
DVD, please call 1–888–NAV-MAPS (1–888–628–6277) or to log onto
www.navtech.com.
Latest map DVDs
The map content is constantly changing due to new roads, traffic
restrictions, etc. . Therefore, it is not always possible to exactly match
the DVD map with the current roadways. For best results, always use the
latest version of the map DVD. Map information is regularly updated, but
all areas are not necessarily covered to the same level of detail. Some
areas, in particular private roads, may not be included on the database.
To help with accuracy, always use the latest DVD version for navigation.
