Navigation System
IntroductionManual OverviewThe 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 - Cellular 
Phonebook, Voice Command Help, 
Map Legend, Calendar, and 
Calculator.
• System Setup - How to set up and 
tailor the system for your personal 
use and use the Address Book.The back of this manual contains:
• Map Coverage (page 107)
• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 
(page 117)
• Troubleshooting Guide (page 126)
• Glossary of Terms (page 128)
• Voice Command List (page 131)
System OverviewYour navigation system is a highly 
sophisticated location system with voice 
control that uses satellites and a map 
database to show you where you are and to 
help guide you to a desired destination.
The navigation system receives signals 
from the global positioning system (GPS), 
a network of 24 satellites in orbit around 
the earth. By receiving signals from several 
of these satellites, the navigation system 
can determine the latitude, longitude, and 
elevation of your vehicle. In addition, a 
gyroscopic yaw sensor and a vehicle speed 
sensor in your vehicle keep track of the 
direction and speed of travel at all times.
This vehicle’s navigation display, if so 
equipped, includes mercury-containing 
components. Upon removal, please reuse, 
recycle, or dispose of as hazardous waste.
The navigation system applies this 
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.NOTICE

Navigation System5
Introduction
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 
touch screen, joystick, or voice control.
There are several ways to enter a 
destination, such as by point of interest 
(POI), by address, by phone number, 
and by selecting it from the map. The 
last 50 destinations are saved for reuse 
at a later date. The system also allows 
you to store a home address to simplify 
returning home from your destination.
Accessories PrecautionsIf you have front or side window tinting 
installed, be aware that if the tint has 
metallic properties, it can seriously 
degrade or prevent GPS reception. This 
is because the GPS antenna is located 
under the dashboard.
If you plan to install electronic 
components, such as radar detectors, 
vehicle tracking devices, remote 
starters, additional amplifiers, or other 
audio components, ensure that they are 
not located near the navigation control 
unit under the dashboard, near the 
navigation screen in the dash, or near 
the GPS antenna under the dashboard. 
Signal noise emanating from these 
devices can cause intermittent 
disruption of the navigation system.
Important Safety InformationThe navigation system can distract your 
attention from the road if you focus on 
the screen or operate the system’s 
controls while driving.
Enter as much information as possible 
into the system before you begin 
driving, or when the vehicle is stopped. 
Then, as you drive, listen to the audio 
instructions and use voice commands 
when possible.

Navigation System
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.The navigation system is designed to 
provide route information to help you 
reach your destination. However, this 
route guidance may sometimes conflict 
with current road conditions such as 
street closures, road construction, 
detours, and out-of-date map data.
Additionally, the system itself has 
certain limitations (see page 98). 
Therefore, you must verify the audio 
and visual route information provided 
by the system by carefully observing the 
roadway, signs and signals, etc. If you 
are unsure, proceed with caution. 
Always use your own good judgment, 
and obey traffic laws while driving.
Map OverviewCurrent StreetThe current street on which your vehicle 
is located appears at the bottom of the map
 screen (see page 19). A message 
saying “Not on a digitized road” may 
appear instead when you drive 800 
metres away from a mapped road. For 
more details, see 
Off-road Tracking
 on 
page 60.
Verified/Unverified StreetYour navigation system has two kinds 
of streets: verified (dark coloured) and 
unverified (light coloured). The 
differences between the two types of 
streets are contrasted in the chart on 
page 7. Note that the “Unverified” roads 
are displayed only on the U.S. areas.
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.

Navigation System7
Introduction
Verified streets (dark coloured)  Unverified streets (light coloured) 
When 
displayedThese roads are found within metropolitan areas, and 
include interstate highways and major roads 
connecting cities.These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include 
residential streets away from the centre of a town.
Street colourShown on daytime map screen as black or red, such as 
interstate highways.Shown on the daytime map screen as light brown.
Map qualityThe database vendor has verified these streets.
Information like turn restrictions, average speed, and 
whether it is a one-way street have been gathered and 
used when creating your route to a destination.These streets have not been verified by the database vendor. The 
system does not contain information on one-way streets, turn 
restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown on the 
map for reference and way have errors in map location, naming, 
and address range.
Routing 
differencesWhile driving to your destination, the displayed route 
line is solid blue. The system provides voice and map 
guidance to your destination.Your route line is either a blue dotted “vector line,” or a dashed 
pink/blue line. For information on selecting this option, and the 
routing differences, see Unverified Area Routing on page 83.
CautionsThere are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during 
a route. However, because roads constantly change, 
you are urged to use common sense, and always obey 
posted traffic restrictions.Regardless of whether the user chooses route guidance, there are 
cautionary screens before and during the route urging the user to 
be extra cautious, and obey all traffic restrictions. See Unverified 
Area Routing on page 83.
Guidance 
voiceVoice guidance issues instructions such as “In 500 m, 
make a right turn.”The phrase “if possible” is added to each guidance instruction. 
For example: “In 500 m, make a right turn, if possible.”
Time and 
distance 
“to go”The time and distance “to go,” displayed while en 
route to a destination, is based on the average speed 
and distance for the roads used for your route.Because the average speed of these roads is not known, the time 
and distance “to go” is based on a fixed average speed of 40 km/h 
for these roads.
