When your vehicle is delivered from the factory, the
dealer may have installed the map DVD. If the map DVD
was not installed in your vehicle when rst purchased,
do the following:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the vehicle in PARK (P), press and hold the
TILT key until a beep is heard. The system’s
faceplate will open.
3. If already loaded, the map DVD or a CD will eject
from the slot.
4. Load the map DVD into the slot by inserting it
partway. The system will pull it in.
5. Press and release the TILT key to close the
faceplate.Notice:Shifting out of PARK (P) with the system’s
faceplate open will cause the faceplate to close
automatically. This could cause damage to a
CD, DVD or the system if it is partially loaded. Before
shifting out of PARK (P), make sure that the DVD
or CD is loaded properly. The vehicle must be
shifted back into PARK (P) to close the faceplate.
Once the map DVD is inserted correctly, you will
have the following two choices:
LANGUAGE

Automatic rerouting may display a route returning to
the set waypoint if you are heading for a destination
without passing through a set waypoint.
The route prohibits the entry of a vehicle due to a
regulation by time or season or any other regulation
which may be given.
Some routes may not be searched.
The route to the destination may not be shown if
there are new roads, if roads have recently changed,
or if certain roads are not listed on the map DVD.
SeeOrdering Map DVDs on page 4-50.
To recalibrate the vehicle’s position on the map, see
your dealer.
If the System Needs Service
If your system needs service and you have followed the
steps listed here and still are experiencing problems,
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 4-50.

Voice Recognition
The navigation system’s voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation of navigation and audio system
features. Voice recognition can be used when the
ignition is on or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
is active.
This feature only works if the map DVD is inserted and
I AGREE has been selected. If you try to use voice
recognition without the map DVD inserted, the system
will display “Please insert the navigation map DVD
to use the voice recognition feature.”
To use navigation voice recognition, do the following:
1. Press the talk symbol
steering wheel control
and release it, when
you hear a beep.
The audio system,
if on, will mute.2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on the
following pages. For example, say “FM1”.
3. The system will tell you the command being
implemented. For example, the system will
say “FM1 Radio” and change the audio system to
the FM1 source.
You can end voice recognition by not speaking any
commands. After about ve seconds of silence,
the system will automatically cancel voice recognition.
At times, the system may not understand a spoken
command. If this happens, try saying the command
again. If a spoken command is not available, the system
will provide feedback based on availability.
While using voice recognition, make sure to keep
interior noise levels to a minimum. Otherwise, the
system might not recognize voice commands.
The system will only recognize commands spoken
in English.

Remember: ABS 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 ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal
down rmly and let anti-lock work for you. You may
hear a motor or clicking noise and feel the brake pedal
move a little during a stop, but this is normal.
Braking in Emergencies
With ABS, you can steer and brake at the same time.
In many emergencies, steering can help you more
than even the very best braking.
Traction Control System (TCS)
Your vehicle has a traction control system that limits
wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery
road conditions. The system operates only if it senses
that one or both of the rear wheels are spinning or
beginning to lose traction. When this happens,
the system works the rear brakes and reduces engine
power to limit wheel spin.
The TRAC SYSTEM ACTIVE message will display on
the Driver Information Center (DIC) when the traction
control system is limiting wheel spin. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-67. You may feel or hear
the system working, but this is normal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may
reengage the cruise control. SeeAdaptive Cruise
Control on page 3-15orCruise Control on page 3-12
for more information.
