Getting Started
Read this manual thoroughly to become familiar with
how the navigation system operates.
The navigation system includes navigation and audio
functions.
Keeping your eyes on the road and your mind on the
drive is important for safe driving. The navigation
system has built-in features intended to help you do this.
Some features may be disabled while driving. Note, these
functions are grayed-out. A grayed-out function indicates
it is not available when the vehicle is moving.
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 the 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.
4-4

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.
Always be alert, 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.
When the navigation system is turned on, a screen may
appear with the information below, and you must
read and acknowledge the information it contains.
After you acknowledge the start up information you will
be able to access the NAV (navigation) and DEST
(destination) functions. Once accessed, you can enter
or delete information in the navigation system or access
other functions. See instructions later in this section.
Deleting Personal Information
This navigation system can record and store
destinations. At times, such as when you are disposing
of the vehicle, you may want to delete these
destinations. Refer to the following sections to delete
the destination information that has been stored.
