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 Setup and Information screens.The white segments of the diagram are available anytime, even if you do not select OK.
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 and audio syst ems (green).

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).
NOTE:
The red arrow in both heading symbols always shows the direction north.
Touch the Map Orientation icon on the map screen to switch between the available orientation, or say “Display heading up” or “Display north up.”
In the larger map scales (above 1 mile or 1.6 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 138.
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). 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.”

System Setup
Display
There are two screen display modes:
Day and Night. The recommended setting is Auto, which automatically switches the screen between Day and Night modes as you turn the headlights on or off.
You can select Day or Night mode to override the Auto mode. This is a useful feature for drivers that like to use headlights during the day and want to temporarily override Night mode. However, the screen in Day mode will be extremely bright at night.
Day ModeNight Mode
Display Mode How setting affects display mode: To override setting while driving: But remember:
Auto (factory default)
Automatically switches between Day and Night mode by sensing if the headlights are on.
Override night display: Adjust dash brightness (with headlights on) to full bright.Override day display:Turn on headlights and ensure the dash brightness is not at full bright.
Adjust the dash brightness (with headlights on) back to normal to allow auto switching by sensing headlights.
Day Stays in Day mode. Push and hold the joystick for 10 seconds (switches to Night mode).
There is no auto Night/ Day mode change with the headlights on/off. You control the setting.

Guidance Prompts
While you drive to your destination, the system displays and announces guidance prompts for your next maneuver. This setting allows you to adjust the number of guidance prompts before each maneuver. The settings Min , Normal, and Max are described below. The factory default is Max, so you can adequately prepare for the next maneuver. If you wish to change the number of guidance prompts, select your preferred setting, as shown in the following table.
*Uses street name in guidance phrase.
NOTE:
To temporarily turn off voice guidance prompts, select Off for the “Volume” setting in Setup.
Contrast
You can adjust the contrast and black level. Adjusting thes e settings can make the display easier to read.
NOTE:
You can have separate daytime and nighttime settings for Brightness, Contrast, and Black Level. Adjust each setting when the display is in either daytime or nighttime mode.Setting Distance before maneuver

System Setup
Correct Vehicle Position
The system relies on satellites for positioning information. Buildings, tunnels, and other objects can block or reflect 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 Adjust, and the system will display a map adjustment screen.
3. Use the ZOOM buttons and the joystick to move the location arrowhead to the correct location. Touch the arrow buttons on the bottom of the screen to rotate the direction arrows so the vehicle position is pointin g in the correct direction.
NOTE:
If you continually have to do this, there are either problems in the database or GPS reception problems. See Accessories Precautions on page 5.
4. When you have finished, press the joystick or select Done to return to the previous screen.
5. As you drive, the current road will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
