Traveling Across Regions
If you plan to drive across several states, you may have
to change the selected region to represent the area
you are traveling to.
There are two ways you can plan a destination when
traveling across regions.
The following method is suggested and provides the
most route guidance and map display functions:
1. Change the selected search area region when you
get closer to the area you are traveling to. See
“Setting the Search Area” underMaps on
page 4-33.
2. Enter your destination and route settings. SeeEnter
Destination on page 4-21for more information.
4-41

If you do not want to use the rst method, keep your
currently selected search area region and enter your
destination. This method allows you only to select a
destination from the easy planning route method or from
the All Points of Interest (POI) categories with the “All
Search Areas” comment for US Only. For example,
Tourist is a category that features this comment. See
Enter Destination on page 4-21for more information.
If you are traveling in or to Canada and you cross the
regional border, the only map scale views available
are 4 mi, 8 mi, 31 mi, and 128 mi (8 km, 16 km,
64 km and 256 km). Change the selected search area
region when you get closer to the area you are traveling
to. See “Setting the Search Area” underMaps on
page 4-33for more information.
Remote Keyless Entry System
When you insert the key in the ignition, Driver 1 or
Driver 2 will be displayed on the screen. A message will
not appear on the screen if the driver is unknown. The
number on the back of the RKE transmitter corresponds
to driver 1 or driver 2. The navigation system can store
memory points for drivers 1 and 2 individually. See
Keyless Access System on page 2-4for more
information.
OnStar®System
When using the OnStar®system, the audio system will
be muted and the navigation voice prompts will be
disabled during the call. The volume of the OnStar
®call
can be adjusted by using the steering wheel volume
controls. SeeOnStar
®System on page 2-36for
more information.
Global Positioning System (GPS)
The navigation system determines the position of your
vehicle by using satellite signals, various vehicle signals,
and map data.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) locates the
current position of your vehicle using signals sent by the
United States Department of Defense GPS satellites.
While your vehicle is receiving signals from these
satellites, the GPS symbol will not appear on the map
screen. SeeSymbols on page 4-36for more information
on the GPS symbol.
However, at times, other interferences such as the
satellite condition, road conguration, the condition of
the vehicle, and/or other circumstances can interfere
with the system’s ability to determine the accurate
position of the vehicle. This is when the GPS symbol
will appear on the map screen.
4-42

This system may not be available/or interferences may
occur if any of the following are true:
Signal are obstructed by tall buildings, large trucks,
or a tunnels.
Satellites are being repaired or improved.
Objects are located on the rear shelf.
After-market glass tinting has been applied to the
vehicle’s windows.
Notice:Do not apply after-market glass tinting to
the vehicle’s windows. Glass tinting will interfere
with the system’s ability to receive GPS signals and
cause the system to malfunction. You might have
to replace the window to correct the problem.
This would not be covered by your warranty.
If you are experiencing a problem, seeVehicle
Positioning on page 4-43orProblems with Route
Guidance on page 4-44for more information.

such as sand, gravel, and/or snow.

The vehicle is being driven on a long straight road.
The vehicle is approaching a tall building or a large

installed on it.
The vehicle has tire chains on it.

at low speeds and the vehicle is stopped and started
repeatedly.
Problems with Route Guidance

the following conditions:
You have not turned onto the road indicated by
the system.
Route guidance is not available for the next turn.
The route is not changed during automatic rerouting.
Plural names of places are displayed.
You are driving at high speeds, which may cause

If the System Needs Service
If you are still experiencing difficulty with your navigation
system after reading this information, see your dealer
for assistance.
Ordering Map DVDs
The map DVD in your vehicle is the most up-to-date
information available when your vehicle was purchased.
The map DVD is updated periodically, provided that
the map information has changed. To order a new map
DVD, contact your dealer.
Database Coverage Explanations
Coverage areas vary with respect to the level of map
detail available for any given area. Some areas will
feature greater levels of detail than others. If this
happens, it does not mean there is a problem with the
system. As the map DVD is updated, more detail
may become available for areas which previously had
limited detail. SeeOrdering Map DVDs on page 4-45.
Navigation Audio System
Notice:Before adding any sound equipment to
your vehicle, like a tape 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 may interfere with the operation
of your vehicle’s engine, radio, or other systems,
and even damage them. Your vehicle’s systems may
interfere with the operation of sound equipment
that has been added improperly.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, the audio system can be
played even after the ignition is turned off. SeeRetained
Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-22for more
information.
The audio system is operated using navigation system
menus. The audio menus are explained in this section.
