NAVIGATION
Learn how to enter a destination and operate the navigation system.
Basic Navigation Operation
A real-time navigation system uses GPS and a map database to show your current
location and help guide you to a desired destination. You can operate the system
using voice commands or the system controls.
To reduce the potential for driver distraction, certain manual functions may
be inoperable or grayed out while the vehicle is moving. Voice commands are
always available.

Steering Wheel Controls
Use the steering wheel controls to give voice
commands. For a full list of navigation voice
commands, see page 157.
Hang-Up/Back button: Press to cancel a command
or operation.
Talk button: Press to say navigation commands
from the Voice Portal screen.
Talk Button Tips
•
When using the T
alk button, wait for the beep before saying a command.
•
To bypass

the system prompts, simply press the Talk button again to say your
command.
•
Speak in a clear, natural v

oice.
•
Reduce all background noise.
•
Adjust the dashboard

vents away from the microphone in the ceiling.
•
Close the windows and moonr

oof.
NAVIGATION*
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.
