MOBILE MEDIA NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a mobile media navigation system which
allows you to listen to, record and save music, play DVDs (audio and
video), and operate climate control functions (if equipped).
Your system has a large range of features, yet is easy to use. The display
screen is the primary means for operating the system through the use of
its vertically tabbed menus, text screens and menu displays. Screen
selections are made by touching the desired area on the touchscreen.
The “tabs” along the left side of the screen represent the major
components of the system. The status bars at the top and bottom of the
screen will display for the majority of the time once the system is turned
on and ready for operation. The top status bar will contain menu names,
icons, and a clock. The lower status bar contains climate information (if
equipped), icons and advisory messages. Please refer toStatus barsin
theSystem Overviewchapter for more information. Navigation guidance
is shown on the display touchscreen and is supplemented with voice
prompts.
DRIVING RESTRICTIONS
In order to prevent the system from distracting you while driving, access
to certain functions are restricted when the vehicle is traveling above
5 mph (8 km/h). Restricted functions include:
•Touchscreen keyboard
•Scrolling of long lists
•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 speed is reduced to 5 mph (8 km/h) or less, system
restrictions are lifted and you have full access to the system.

REVERSE CAMERA (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a reverse camera on the tailgate which
provides a video image of the area behind the vehicle. When the
transmission is in R (Reverse), an image will automatically display on the
navigation screen. Once the vehicle is back in D (Drive), the image will
continue to display until you are driving over 5 mph (8 km/h). To remove
this image from the screen, press any hard button on the navigation system.

adjustments to the brightness of the
display as well as the rear camera
display.
When the rear camera delay
function is ON, it extends the
display of the camera image into
Drive mode until vehicle speed is
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h). This
is useful when trying to
engage/disengage a trailer. Once you
shift out of R (Reverse), the image
will be removed from the screen.
The default for the rear camera
delay is off.
Prior to using, ensure that the camera lens is clear of any debris, mud,
etc. and that both reverse lamps are operational if using at night.
Depending on your vehicle, you may have a Zoom button (if equipped)
as well as additional selections under the Settings button.
