Navigation System5
Introduction
The navigation system applies this
location, direction, and speed
information to the maps and calculates a
route to the destination you enter. As
you drive to that destination, the system
provides map and voice guidance.
The navigation system is easy to use.
The locations of many places of
business and entertainment are already
entered in the system. You can select
any of them as a destination by using the
Interface Dial or voice control.
There are several ways to enter a
destination, such as by point of interest
(POI), by address, by phone number,
and by selecting it from the map. The
last 50 destinations are saved for reuse
at a later date. The system also allows
you to store a home address to simplify
returning home from your destination.Accessories Precautions
If you have front or side window tinting
installed, be aware that if the tint has
metallic properties, it can seriously
degrade or prevent GPS reception. This
is because the GPS antenna is located
under the dashboard.
If you plan to install electronic
components, such as radar detectors,
vehicle tracking devices, remote
starters, additional amplifiers, or other
audio components, ensure that they are
not located near the navigation control
unit under the driver’s seat, near the
navigation display in the dash, or near
the GPS antenna under the dashboard.
Signal noise emanating from these
devices can cause intermittent
disruption of the navigation system.
Important Safety Information
The navigation system can distract your
attention from the road if you focus on
the screen or operate the system’s
controls while driving.
Enter as much information as possible
into the system before you begin
driving, or when the vehicle is stopped.
Then, as you drive, listen to the audio
instructions and use voice commands
when possible.

Navigation System7
Introduction
Verified streets (dark colored) Unverified streets (light colored)
When
displayed These roads are found within metropolitan areas, and
include interstate freeways
and major roads connecting
cities. These roads are found in rural
areas, and typically include
residential streets away fr om the center of a town.
Street color Shown on daytime
map screen as black or red, such as
interstate freeways. Shown on the daytime
map screen as light brown.
Map quality The database vendor has
verified these streets.
Information like turn restri ctions, average speed, and
whether it is a one-way street have been gathered and
used when creating your route to a destination. These streets have not
been verified by the database vendor.
The system does not contain in formation on one-way streets,
turn restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown
on the map for reference and may have errors in map location,
naming, and address range.
Routing
differences While driving to your destin
ation, the displayed route
line is solid blue. The syst em provides voice and map
guidance to your destination. Your route line is either a blue
dotted “vector line,” or a dashed
pink/blue line. For information on selecting this option, and the
routing differences, see Unverified Area Routing on page86.
Cautions There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during
a route. However, because
roads constantly change,
you are urged to use common sense, and always obey
posted traffic restrictions. Regardless of whether the user
chooses route guidance, there
are cautionary screens before and during the route urging the
user to be extra cautious, and obey all traffic restrictions. See
Unverified Area Routing on page86.
Guidance
voice Voice guidance issues maneuvers such as “In a half-
mile, make a right turn.” The suffix “if possible” is adde
d to each guidance maneuver.
For example: “In a half-mile, ma ke a right turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go” The time and distance “to go,
” displayed while en route
to a destination, is based on the average speed and
distance for the roads used for your route. Because the average speed of thes
e roads is not known, the time
and distance “to go” is based on a fixed average speed of
25 mph for these roads.
