System Function Diagram
This diagram shows the navigation
system features, starting at the center
and working outward in layers. The
navigation program starts at “Key
ON,” and then displays the globe
screen (blue). If OK is selected on the
Disclaimer screen, the functions in the
yellow segments of the diagram become
available in the SET UP and INFO
screens.
The items above the map screen show
various methods to begin driving to
your destination (orange). You are
provided with map/voice guidance,
routing cautions, and a direction list.
While driving to your destination, use
the voice control system as much as
possible to interact with the navigation,
audio, and climate control systems
(green).

Driving to Your Destination
62 Navigation System
Map Orientation
The map can be orientated two ways:
• North-up: North pointing up as you
would normally view a paper map.
• Heading-up: The map constantly rotates so the road you are driving on
always points up (as you see the road
through your front windshield).
“North Up”
“Heading Up”
NOTE:
The red arrow in both heading symbols
always shows the direction north. Push in on the Interface Dial
when
you are on the map screen, and select
Map Information . Select North-
up or Heading-up , or say “Display
heading up” or “Display north up.”
In the larger map scales (above 2 mile
or 3 kilometer), the map is always
oriented with north facing upward. You
cannot change the orientation.
NOTE:
For information on the available voice
commands, see Voice Command Index
on page 158 .
Destination Icon
The destination icon only shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block.) Since most cities
use only a portion of the 100 possible
addresses (for example, in the 1400
block, the addresses may only go up to
1425 before the 1500 block starts).
Therefore, the address 1425 will be
shown a quarter of the way down the
block by the system instead of near the
end of the block where the destination
is actually located.
Tip:
When en route, you can view a map
showing your destination. Using voice
control, say “Display destination
map.”

Clock Adjustment
From the SET UP screen (Other), say
or select Clock Adjustment and the
following screen appears:
This screen allows you to set or adjust
the following:
• Auto Daylight (Default = ON)
• Auto Time Zone (Default = ON)
• Adjust Time (adjust your clock)
• Reset (resets this screen’s settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight
Sets automatic daylight saving time ON
or OFF . If set to ON, the clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
behind” by one hour when a daylight
saving time change occurs.
NOTE:
Even if you have set Auto Daylight to
ON , this function is not activated in
areas that do not adopt daylight saving
time.
The federal government mandated that
starting in 2007, daylight saving time
begins in March and ends in November
instead of the old schedule in April
to October. This schedule is subject
to review and possible cancellation in
2009-2010.

System Setup
112 Navigation System
After you have traveled approximately
1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the
system will display a series of white
dots on the map screen to show the
path you have traveled. This is provided
so you can follow the dots to backtrack
to the mapped road you originally left.
Tracking continues until you reach a
mapped road. See Off-road Tracking on
page 69 .
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile scales, or the 80, 200,
400, and 800 meter scales. Rotate the
Interface Dial knob to change the
scale if necessary.
NOTE:
To clear existing dots, turn this feature
OFF and exit SET UP. To re-enable
this feature, return to SET UP and turn
it on again. Correct Vehicle Position
The system relies on satellites for
positioning information. Buildings,
tunnels, and other objects can block
or refl ect these signals, requiring the
system to use “dead reckoning” to
determine your location and direction.
This can sometimes lead to small errors
in positioning, such as showing you on
an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle
position is not recommended. When the
system acquires a GPS signal, it will
automatically place the vehicle in the
correct location.
If you choose to do this, follow these
steps: 1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Select
Correct Vehicle Position ,
and the system will display a
Correct vehicle position screen.
3. Use the Interface Dial to move the
vehicle position arrowhead to the
correct location, and push in on the
Interface Dial . The display will
change to:

Rearview Camera
Your vehicle is equipped with a
rearview camera as shown in the
illustration.
When you shift to R (Reverse) with the
power mode in the ON mode, the rear
view is shown on the navigation screen.
Parking guidelines appear in the rear
view. For the best image, always keep
the rearview camera lens clean, and be
sure it is not covered.
Since the rearview camera display area
is limited, you should always back up
slowly and carefully, and look behind
you for obstacles.
Rearview Camera Brightness
Adjustment
When in reverse, the navigation “hard”
buttons are locked out, except the
rotating portion of the Interface Dial
knob. Rotate the Interface Dial
knob clockwise to make the camera
image brighter, and counterclockwise to
darken the image.
This brightness adjustment is
independent of the screen brightness
adjustment in SET UP.
NOTE:
• The camera brightness cannot be adjusted by voice control.
• Slight delays can occur when switching to the camera image
(especially when fi rst starting your
vehicle), or switching back to the
map/menu screen. This is normal.

1st line (1.5 ft, 0.5 m)
The rearview camera display has
distance guidelines indicating distance
from the back of the vehicle to one of
the lines.
NOTE:
• The rearview camera has a special
lens that makes distances appear
closer than they actually are.
• The rearview camera display has a limited range, and the size and
position of objects around the area
may appear different from reality.
Make sure to check the surrounding
area carefully.
