When a DVD Map Disc is installed, noise from the disc
may occur, this is normal system operation.
The navigation system in this vehicle uses a DVD to
store map information. When the system loads data from
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.

If the map DVD was not installed, do the following
to load it:
1. Turn the ignition on.

system on or press the NAV, DEST, or MENU
hard keys. If the MENU hard key is selected, press

the NAV tab manually.
