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.
Any route suggestions made by this navigation system
may never override local traffic regulations, your
own judgement, and/or knowledge of safe driving
practices.
Disregard route suggestions made by the navigation
system if such suggestions would; cause you to perform
a hazardous or illegal maneuver, place you in a
hazardous situation, or route you into an area you
consider unsafe.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.
{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 4-19for more information.
Select a destination using various methods and
choices.

turn that is prohibited by signs at the intersection.

evaluate whether following the system’s directions
is safe and legal for the current conditions.
