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 322for 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.
234

{CAUTION:
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 often at the
moving map on the navigation screen.
Use the voice guidance directions
whenever possible.
The navigation system allows you to do the
following:
Plan a route with provided turn-by-turn route
and map guidance with voice prompts. See
Plan Route on page 249for more information.
Select a destination using various methods
and choices.
Receive broadcast announcements on traffic
and emergency alert communications.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:
To adjust screen appearance, language, clock,
English/metric measurements, or other
options, see “Main Audio Menu” under
Navigation Audio System on page 285.
To adjust voice guidance volume or other
navigation settings, seeSetup Menu on
page 243.
