DRIVING RESTRICTIONS
In order to prevent the navigation system from distracting you while
driving, access to certain functions are restricted when the vehicle is
traveling above 5 mph (8 km/h). At this time, only the Quick Destination
menu items are available for destination entry. Restricted functions
include:
• Touchscreen keyboard during destination entry (Street address, POI,
Freeway Entrance/Exit, Intersection)
• Scrolling of long lists
• Travel Link subscriptions (if active) such as movie times, ski
conditions, sports scores and scrolling of the weather map
• Editing/Adding entries in the Address Book
• Editing/Adding entries in the Avoid Areas List
• Jukebox restrictions such as creating/editing playlists, sorting playlists,
editing track, artist and album names
• Uploading photographs
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with SYNC, similar features will be
restricted also.
When the vehicle begins to move, and the Select Route Screen is shown,
the highlighted route is automatically selected and guidance begins.
When the vehicle speed is reduced to 5 mph (8 km/h) or less, system
restrictions are lifted and you have full access to the system.
