4 Infotainment System
Overview
Read this manual thoroughly to
become familiar with how the
navigation system operates.
The navigation system includes
navigation and audio functions.
Keeping your eyes on the road and
your mind on the drive is important
for safe driving. The navigation
system has built-in features
intended to help with this by
disabling some features when
driving. A grayed-out function is not
available when the vehicle is
moving.
All functions are available when the
vehicle is parked. Do the following
before driving:
.Become familiar with the
navigation system operation,
buttons on the faceplate, and
touch-sensitive screen buttons.
.Set up the audio by presetting
favorite stations, setting the
tone, and adjusting the
speakers.
.Set up the navigation features,
such as entering an address or a
preset destination.
.Set up phone numbers in
advance so they can be called
easily by pressing a single
button or a single voice
command for navigation systems
equipped with phone capability.
{WARNING
Taking your eyes off the road too
long or too often while using the
navigation system could cause a
crash and you or others could be
injured or killed. Focus your
attention on driving and limit
glances at the moving map on the
navigation screen. Use voice
guidance whenever possible.
Use the navigation system to:
.Plan a route.
.Select a destination using
various methods and choices.
.Follow turn-by-turn route and
map guidance with voice
prompts, only if permitted by
traffic laws, controls, and
conditions.
.Receive RDS broadcast
announcements.
Always be alert and obey traffic and
roadway laws and instructions,
regardless of the guidance from the
navigation system. Because the
navigation system uses street map
information that does not include all
traffic restrictions or the latest road
changes, it may suggest using a
road that is now closed for
construction or a turn that is
prohibited by signs at the
intersection. Always evaluate
whether following the system's
directions is safe and legal for the
current conditions.
When the navigation system is
turned on, a screen may appear
with information that must be read
and acknowledged before accessing
some navigation features.

Automatic Volume Control
Bose
®equipped vehicles include
Bose AudioPilot®noise
compensation technology. When turned on, AudioPilot
continuously adjusts the audio
system equalization, to compensate
for background noise, so that the
music always sounds the same at
the set volume level.
This feature is most effective at
lower volume settings where
background noise can affect how
well the music is heard while being
played through the vehicle's audio
system. At higher volume settings,
where the music is much louder
than the background noise, there
may be little or no adjustments by
AudioPilot. For additional
information on AudioPilot, visit
www.bose.com/audiopilot.
To use AudioPilot:
1. Press CONFIG to enter the
menu screen, then press
CONFIG repeatedly until Radio
is selected or press the Radio
screen button
2. Press the Automatic Volume Control screen button to access
the AudioPilot menu.

Timeshift
Timeshift records all information
from AM, FM, XM™(if equipped),
etc. for up to an hour. Timeshift
allows you to listen to information
that was missed. Once starting to
listen to one of the bands, timeshift
automatically starts. Once timeshift
has recorded for an hour, it will keep
recording and start removing the
information from the beginning.
Press
k(pause) to stop hearing
the information through the
speakers. During this pause time,
timeshift keeps recording. Press
k
(play) to continue listening where
you left off. During pause, a
progress bar displays, to show how
much time the system has been
buffering. Press
kbefore turning the vehicle
off so that Timeshift keeps recording
for up to one hour. If the vehicle is
still off after an hour of recording,
the vehicle stops recording and all
information is lost.
If stations are switched, during this
hour period, timeshift erases all
information that was recorded and
starts recording from the current
band. If you switch to listening to
any other source, timeshift will not
record.
Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS features are
available for use only on FM
stations that broadcast RDS
information. With RDS, the
radio can:
.Seek to stations broadcasting
the selected type of
programming
.Receive announcements
concerning local and national
emergencies
.Display messages from radio
stations
This system relies on receiving
specific information from these
stations and only works when the
information is available. In rare
cases, a radio station may
broadcast incorrect information that
causes the radio features to work
improperly. If this happens, contact
the radio station.
The RDS system is always on.
When information is broadcast from
the current FM station, the station
name or call letters display on the
audio screen. RDS may provide a
program type (PTY) for current
programming and the name of the
program being broadcasted.
