pages following to familiarize yourself with its features.
Driving without distraction is a necessity for a safer
driving experience. SeeDefensive Driving on page 5-2.

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.Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory

THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft of
your vehicle’s radio. The feature works automatically
by learning a portion of the Vehicle Identication
Number (VIN). If the radio is moved to a different
vehicle, it will not operate. If the radio is removed
from your vehicle, the original VIN in the radio can
be used to trace the radio back to your vehicle.
With THEFTLOCK
®activated, the radio will not
operate if stolen.

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.
Keeping your mind on the drive is important for safe
driving. SeeDefensive Driving on page 5-2for more
information. Get familiar with your vehicle’s navigation
system so you can use it with less effort and take full
advantage of its features. Your navigation system
includes not only navigation, but also audio functions.
While your vehicle is parked:
Familiarize yourself with all of its controls: hard keys
on the faceplate and touch-sensitive screen buttons.
Familiarize yourself with its operation.
Set up your audio by presetting your favorite stations,
setting the tone, and adjusting the speakers. Then,
when driving conditions permit, you can tune to your
favorite stations using the presets and steering wheel
controls (if equipped).
Set up the navigation features that can only be done
before you begin driving, such as entering an
address or a preset destination.Entering a destination or alphanumeric text requires
many steps, so you can only perform these operations
when the vehicle is in PARK (P). You will notice
that touch-sensitive screen buttons leading to the
alphanumeric keyboard are dimmed out while driving.
Other functions may also be locked out while driving and
they too will appear grayed out on the screen — but
all functions are available when parked. Some functions
can be performed while driving, as long as you can
do so without diverting too much of your attention from
your driving.
{CAUTION:
This system provides you with a far greater
access to audio stations and song listings.
Giving extended attention to entertainment
tasks while driving can cause a crash and you
or others can be injured or killed. Always keep
your eyes on the road and your mind on the
drive — avoid engaging in extended searching
while driving.

Looking at the moving map on the navigation
screen frequently or for too long while driving
can cause a crash and you or others can be
injured or killed. Keep your eyes and mind on
the road and avoid looking too long or too

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:
To adjust screen appearance, language, clock,
English/metric measurements, or other options,
