locked in the vehicle can still be used to start the vehicle
or unlock the doors, if needed. A person approaching

Audio System(s)
Read the following pages to become familiar with the
audio system’s features.
{CAUTION:
Taking your eyes off the road for extended periods
could cause a crash resulting in injury or death to
you or others. Do not give extended attention to
entertainment tasks while driving.
This system provides access to many audio and non
audio listings.
To minimize taking your eyes off the road while driving,
do the following while the vehicle is parked:
Become familiar with the operation and controls of
the audio system.
Set up the tone, speaker adjustments, and preset

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.
See “Deleting Single Memory Points”, “Deleting All
Memory Points”, “Preset Dests.” (Destinations), “Home”
and “Previous Dest.” (Destination) underEdit Memory
Point on page 4-19for deleting stored destinations.
