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.

Let us say the road is wet and you are driving safely.
Suddenly, an animal jumps out in front of you. You slam
on the brakes and continue braking. Here is what
happens with ABS:
A computer senses that wheels are slowing down. If
one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer
will separately work the brakes at each wheel.
The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure
faster than any driver could. The computer is
programmed to make the most of available tire and road
conditions. This can help you steer around the obstacle
while braking hard.As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on
wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.
Remember: Anti-lock does not change the time you
need to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always
decrease stopping distance. If you get too close to
the vehicle in front of you, you will not have time to apply
your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops.
Always leave enough room up ahead to stop, even
though you have anti-lock brakes.
