Introduction Manual Overview The manual is divided into the following sections: • Getting Started - A basic introduction that discusses the controls and how to communicate with the system. • Entering a Destination - How to enter an address or locate a point of interest (POI). • Driving to Your Destination - An explanation of the map features, guidance, and cautions. • Information Features - An explanation of the information features, voice command help, and other acessories.
Introduction The navigation system applies location, direction, and speed information to the maps and calculates a route to the destination you enter. As you drive to that destination, the system provides map and voice guidance. The navigation system is easy to use. The locations of many places of business and entertainment are already entered in the system. You can select any of them as a destination by using the Interface Dial or voice control.
Introduction WARNING Using the navigation system while driving can take your attention away from the road, causing a crash in which you could be seriously injured or killed. Only operate system controls when the conditions permit you to safely do so. While driving, do not look at the screen or operate the system controls for more than a second or so at a time, and only after deciding you can do so safely. Pull to the side of the road if you need more time to look at the screen or operate the controls.
Introduction Verified streets Unverified streets When displayed These roads are found within metropolitan areas, and include interstate freeways and major roads connecting cities. These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include residential streets away from the center of a town. Street color Shown as red (freeways), pink (state routes), or gray (verified streets) on the daytime map screen. Shown on the daytime map screen as purple. The database vendor has verified these streets.

System Setup Unverified Area Routing Allows you to receive turn-by-turn map and voice guidance in unverified areas when en route to a destination (see Map Overview on page 6 ). The chart below illustrates the routing differences with this setting ON or OFF. Unverified Area Routing: OFF (factory default) The driver wishes to navigate manually by using the navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to the Decision: destination.
System Setup Unverified Area Routing When driving to your destination, you have the choice of using or not using “unverified” roads. You make this choice in the SET UP screen. The next few pages contain an example of a route to a destination in an unverified area explaining the routing differences found in unverified areas. Because both routes bypass or use unverified streets, it is recommended that you stop and review the map.
System Setup With Unverified Area Routing OFF, before you enter an unverified street, a caution box appears on the screen and a voice message is given. This lets you know that you are about to enter an unverified area and that you will be following a dotted “vector line” that points to your destination. With Unverified Area Routing ON, a caution box appears on the screen and is read by the voice. In this case, you will be presented with a dashed blue/ pink line instead of the regular blue route line.
System Setup With Unverified Area Routing OFF, you are presented with a blue “vector line” that always points to the destination. You must manually choose streets from the map that will lead to your destination. No guidance is provided, and there are no directions to the destination. With Unverified Area Routing ON, a blue/pink route line is shown for unverified segments. Voice guidance commands in unverified areas always end with “if possible.

Rotate the Interface Dial knob to select the map scale (available scales are 1/20, 1/8, and 1/4 mile scales).
System Setup Say or select OK to return to the Edit avoid area screen. If your selected area contains a freeway, the system will prompt you with a popup box saying “Do you want to avoid freeways?” Answering “No” allows you to enter a route through an avoided area on a freeway and skip the “Avoid area caution box” (see Pop-ups and Disclaimers on page 74).
System Setup For “Places along the route,” the system looks in front of you within a corridor width specified by your values for “On Freeways” or “On Surface Street.” The system checks the upcoming area, based on your input. For “Places around the destination,” the system searches outwards in a spiral from the destination. In this case, specific search values are not needed; the matches are displayed in order of distance from destination.
System Setup Clock Adjustment From the SET UP screen (Other), say or select Clock Adjustment and the following screen appears: 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.
System Setup Time Adjustment Adjusts the current time in hours and minutes. Select the current time by moving the Interface Dial up, and then switch HOUR and MINUTE by moving the Interface Dial to the left and right and changing the value by rotating the Interface Dial knob. Selecting OK returns you to the previous screen. You can reset the adjustment by selecting RESET. NOTE: Selecting RESET also clears any changes you made to “Auto Daylight,” or “Auto Time Zone” settings.
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.
System Setup Color From the SET UP screen (Other), say or select Color and the following screen appears: Map Color Allows you to choose the map color from one of five colors for the Day and Night modes.

System Initialization System Initialization Entering the Security Code If for any reason you lose power to the vehicle (e.g., the battery is disconnected), the navigation and audio system will require initialization. Once completed, your system will be ready to use. When you purchased the vehicle, you should have received one card containing a 5-digit anti-theft code used to activate both the navigation and audio system.
System Initialization GPS Initialization Depending on the length of time the battery was disconnected, your system may require GPS initialization. If it does, the following screen appears: If this procedure is not necessary, the system proceeds directly to the Disclaimer screen (see page 18). During initialization, the system searches for all available GPS satellites and obtains their orbital information. During this procedure, the vehicle should be out in the open with a clear view of the sky.
System Initialization Although your navigation system is one of the most highly sophisticated pieces of equipment you will find in a modern automobile, you may find during its use that it has certain limitations. The system uses GPS signals to aid in determining its current location. The GPS is operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. For security reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built into the GPS that the navigation system must constantly compensate for.
System Limitations Also, depending on your current view of the sky and the position of the satellites, the elevation may be shown incorrectly. You may also notice some delay of the vehicle position icon at intersections; this is normal. GPS Reception Issues The signals received from the GPS satellites are extremely weak (less than a millionth of the strength of a local FM station) and require an unobstructed view of sky.
Database Limitations You will find that some points of interest (POI) may be missing when you search the database. This can be caused if at the time the database was gathered, the name was misspelled, the place was improperly categorized, or the POI change is not yet in the database. This means you may not find places listed that you know exist. This is also true for police agencies and hospitals. In outlying areas, facilities listed may not be the closest.
