2009 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV reset

All functions are available when the vehicle is parked.
Do the following before driving:
Become familiar with the navigation system
operation, hard keys on the faceplate, and
touch-sensitive screen buttons of the navigation
system.
Set up the audio by presetting favorite stations,
setting the tone, and adjusting the speakers.
Set up the navigation features before beginning
driving, such as entering an address or a preset
destination.
Set up your phone numbers in advance so they can
be called easily with the press of a single button or
a single voice command (for navigation systems
equipped with phone capability).
{ CAUTION: Taking your eyes off the road too long or too often
while using the navigation system could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death to you or others.
Focus your attention on driving. { CAUTION: Avoid looking too long or too often at the moving
map on the navigation screen. This could cause a
crash and you or others can be injured or killed.
Use the turn-by-turn voice guidance directions
whenever possible.
Use the navigation system to:
Plan a route.
Select a destination using various methods and
choices.
Follow turn-by-turn route and map guidance with
voice prompts, only if permitted by traffic laws,
controls, and conditions.
You should always be alert and obey traffic and
roadway laws and instructions, regardless of the
guidance from the navigation system. Because the
navigation system uses street map information that
does not include all traffic restrictions or the latest road
changes, it may suggest using a road that is now closed
for construction or a turn that is prohibited by signs
at the intersection. Because the system uses limited
information, you must always evaluate whether following
the system’s directions is safe and legal for the current
conditions.
