Getting Started
12 Navigation System
Screen
All selections and instructions are
displayed on the screen. The display
is not a “touch screen” - you enter
information into the system either by
voice or by using the Interface Dial .
Clean the screen with a soft, damp
cloth. You may use a mild cleaner
intended for use on computer screens.
NOTE:
Whenever you shift to R (Reverse), the
rear view behind the vehicle is shown
on the navigation system screen. See
page 127 . Lower Display
Shows a summary of the audio and
climate control information, as well as
the time. This summary is helpful as a
confi
rmation when adjusting audio or
climate by voice.
The audio summary consists of the
radio band, frequency, and volume. For
XM radio, a brief description of the
station and current music is displayed.
The climate status consists of the
driver’s and passenger’s temperature,
fan speed, ON/OFF (A/C), and vent
setting. The time is automatically set
by the navigation system. Settings
can be adjusted in SETUP (see T i m e
Adjustment on page 117 ).

System Setup
Navigation System127

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.

4th line (9 ft, 3 m)
3rd line (6.5 ft, 2 m)
2nd line (3 ft, 1 m)
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.
