Introduction
Verified streets (dark colored) Unverified streets (light colored)
When
displayed These roads are found within
metropolitan areas, and
include interstate freeways and major roads
connecting cities. These roads are found in rural
areas, and typically include
residential street s away from the center of a town.
Street color Shown on daytime
map screen as black or red, such as
interstate freeways. Shown on the daytime
map screen as light brown.
Map Quality The database vendor has
verified these streets.
Information like tu rn restrictions, average speed, and
whether it is a one way street have been gathered and
used when creating your route to a destination. These streets have not been veri
fied by the database vendor. The
system does not contain inform ation on one-way streets, turn
restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown on the
map for reference and can have e rrors in map location, naming,
and address range.
Routing
differences While driving to your destin
ation, the displayed route
line is solid blue. The system provides voice and map
guidance to your destination. Your route line is either a blue
dotted “vector line,” or a dashed
pink/blue line. For information on selecting this option, and the
routing differences, see Unverified Area Routing on page
81.
Cautions There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during
a route. However, because
roads constantly change,
you are urged to use common sense, and always obey
posted traffic restrictions. Regardless of whether the user c
hooses route guidance, there are
cautionary screens before and dur ing the route urging the user to
be extra cautious, and obey a ll traffic restrictions. See Unverified
Area Routing on page81.
Guidance
voice Voice guidance issues maneuvers such as “In a half
mile make a right turn.” The suffix “if possible” is adde
d to each guidance maneuver. For
example: “In a half mile make a right turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go” The time and distance “t
o go,” displayed while on
route to a destination, is based on the average speed
and distance for the roads used for your route. Because the average speed of thes
e roads is not known, the time
and distance “to go” is based on a fixed average speed of 25 mph
for these roads.

Navigation System13
Getting Started
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system
as much as possible, and consider
manual entry using the joystick as a
“back-up” method of entry.
Most of the system’s functions can be
controlled by voice commands activated
with the NAVI TALK button. To
control your navigation system by
voice:
 Press and release the NAVI TALK
button.
 Wait for the beep.
 Give a voice command.
Once the microphone picks up your
command, the system changes the
display in response to the command and
prompts you for the next command.
Using the NAVI TALK button, answer
the prompts as required. If the system does not understand a
command or you wait too long to give a
command, it responds with “Pardon,”
“Please repeat,” or “Would you say
again.” If the system cannot perform a
command or the command is not
appropriate for the screen you are on, it
sounds a beep.
Anytime you are not sure of what voice
commands are available on a screen,
you can always say “Help” at any
screen. The system can then read the list
of commands to you.
When you speak a command, the system
generally either repeats the command as
a confirmation or asks you for further
information. If you do not wish to hear
this feedback, you can turn it off.
However, hearing the feedback will
familiarize you with the way the system
expects commands to be phrased. See
the
Voice Recognition Feedback
setting in Set up. If you hear a prompt such as “Please use
the touch screen to...” or “Please choose
an area with the joystick,” the system is
asking for input
that cannot be
performed using the voice control
system.
Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition,
the following guide lines should be
followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is
displayed for the vo ice command that
you are using. See Voice Command
Index on page123.
 Adjust the air flow from both the dashboard and side vents so they do
not blow against the microphone on
the ceiling. Place your hand over the
microphone; if you feel any airflow,
adjust the vents.
 Lower the A/C fan speed during voice recognition operation.
 Close the windows and the sunroof.

Map Screen Description
Zoom In/Out
Use the ZOOM buttons to change the
scale of the map. Zooming in increases
the detail, while zooming out gives you
a wide area view. After changing the
scale, give the system a few moments to
update the display.
Map Scrolling
To view other areas on the map, move
the joystick left, right, up, or down. The
map will shift in that direction. To
return the map to your current location,
press either the MAP/GUIDE, the
CANCEL , or the NAVI BACK button.
The display automatically changes to
the map screen when you reach your
destination. Press the MENU button to
return to the Enter destination by
screen.
Displaying Current Location
You can say “Display current location.”
or touch the vehicle position icon at any
time to see the current address, latitude,
longitude and elevation. The screen will
change to:
NOTE:
The elevation will not appear when the
system is temporarily lacking proper
GPS information. The system elevation
may not agree with elevations shown on
roadside elevation signs, and may
fluctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more. You can say “Save current location.” or
select
Save on the screen to save the
current location in your Address Book.
Select Return to return to the previous
screen.

asterisk “*” next to their names. If you
select one, no detailed street data is
available, and an address cannot be
entered. Try entering the street first, and
then select the city if available.

type (St, Ave, etc.). The system will
automatically determine that for you,
based on your entered city and street
number.
