Getting Started
Before you begin to operate the navigation system, read
this manual thoroughly to become familiar with it and
to understand how the system works.
The navigation system allows you to do the following:
Plan a route with provided turn-by-turn route
and map guidance with voice prompts.
Select a destination using various methods
and choices.
The information in the system may not always be
complete. Road conditions such as prohibited turns,
detours, and construction zones, change frequently.
It is important to consider whether you can follow
the directions given by the system for the current
conditions.
When getting started, you may set the navigation system
to your preference using various options. You will also
need to know how to perform various functions to begin
route guidance. Reference the following topics for
further information:
Setting Radio Station Presets
To set preset radio stations, do the following:
1. Press the power/volume knob to turn the audio and

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, GPS will not appear on the map screen.
However, at times, other interferences such as
the satellite condition, road con guration, 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 GPS will appear on
the map screen.The system may not be available or interferences may
occur if any of the following are true:Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, large trucks
or a tunnel.
Metallic objects are located on the dashboard.
Satellites are being repaired or improved.
Aftermarket glass tinting has been applied to the
vehicle’s windshield.
Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting to the vehicle’s
windshield or place metallic objects on the vehicle’s
dashboard. Glass tinting and metallic objects will
interfere with the system’s ability to receive GPS signals
and may cause the system to malfunction.
