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 271.
2. Enter your destination and route settings. See
Enter Destination on page 259for more
information.
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, Touristis a category that features this comment. See
Enter Destination on page 259for 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 271for more
information.
Keyless Access System
When the engine is started, Driver 1 or Driver 2
will display on the screen. A message will not
appear on the screen if the driver is unknown. The
number on the back of the transmitter corresponds
to driver 1 or driver 2. The navigation system
can store memory points for drivers 1 and
2 individually. SeeKeyless Access System on
page 67for more information.
