the disc, you may hear a very slight buzz sound from
the navigation system. The sound is similar to that of a
CD player seeking through different tracks. This is
normal operation and may occur more frequently with
the use of XM NavTraffic.
Your dealer/retailer may have installed the map DVD.
If the map DVD was not installed, do the following
to load it:
1. Turn the ignition on.

O(power) knob to turn the navigation
system on or press the NAV, DEST, or MENU
hard keys. If the MENU hard key is selected, press
