Navigation System5
Introduction
Accessories Precautions
If you have front window tinting
installed, be aware that if the tint has
metallic properties, it can seriously
degrade or prevent GPS reception. This
is because the GPS antenna is located
under the dashboard.
If you plan to install electronic
components such as radar detectors,
vehicle location devices, remote
starters, additional amplifiers, or other
audio components, ensure that they are
not located near the navigation control
unit under the front passenger seat, near
the navigation screen in the dash, or
near the GPS antenna under the
dashboard. Signal noise emanating from
these devices can cause intermittent
disruption of the navigation system.
Important Safety Information
The navigation system can distract your
attention from the road if you focus on
the screen or operate the system’s
controls while driving.
Enter as much information as possible
into the system before you begin
driving, or when the vehicle is stopped.
Then, as you drive, listen to the audio
instructions and use voice commands
when possible.
While driving, do not look at the screen
or operate the system controls for more
than a second or so at a time, and only
after deciding you can do so safely. Pull
to the side of the road if you need more
time to look at the screen or operate the
controls.
Using the navigation system
while driving can take your
attention away from the road,
causing a crash in which you
could be seriously injured or
killed.
Follow all operating instructions
and safety information in this
manual.

Driving to Your Destination
Going Off the Route
If you leave the calculated route,
“Recalculating...” is displayed at the top
of the screen. The system will
recalculate the route from your current
location and direction to the desired
destination then give you a new route
instruction. This is done automatically if
you have set Rerouting to Automatic
on the Setup screen (second) (see
page81).
If the Rerouting option in Setup is set
to Manual , “Off route” appears at the
top of the screen when you leave the
calculated route. Sa y “Recalculate,” or
touch Recalc . button whenever you
wish the system to perform a
recalculation.
Off-road Tracking
If you drive more than half a mile from
a mapped road, “Not on a digitized
road.” appears at the bottom of the
screen.
The map screen starts displaying a
series of dots (breadcrumbs) to show the
path you have taken if
Off-road
Tracking on the Setup screen (second)
is set to On (see page89). By following the dots, you can backtrack
to the mapped road you originally left.
“Breadcrumbs” may occasionally be
displayed in urban areas, such as large
parking lots in shoppi
ng malls, or in new
subdivisions where th e roads are not yet
in the database. In other cases you may
see dots, if the system temporary goes
off route, like in a parking garage where
the GPS signal is unavailable.
These dots appear only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile (or 80, 200, 400, and
800 meter) map scales.
Use the ZOOM buttons to change scales
if necessary.
Tracking continues for approximately
150 miles; dots at the beginning of the
trail will start disappearing when you
exceed that distance . When you reach a
mapped road, th e system stops
displaying dots.
