12 Navigation System
Screen
All selections and instructions are
displayed on the screen. The display
is not a “touch screen” - you enter
information into the system either by
voice or by using the Interface Dial .
Clean the screen with a soft, damp
cloth. You may use a mild cleaner
intended for use on computer screens.
NOTE:
Whenever you shift to R (Reverse), the
rear view behind the vehicle is shown
on the navigation system screen. See
page 127 . Lower Display
Shows a summary of the audio and
climate control information, as well as
the time. This summary is helpful as a
confi
rmation when adjusting audio or
climate by voice.
The audio summary consists of the
radio band, frequency, and volume. For
XM radio, a brief description of the
station and current music is displayed.
The climate status consists of the
driver’s and passenger’s temperature,
fan speed, ON/OFF (A/C), and vent
setting. The time is automatically set
by the navigation system. Settings
can be adjusted in SETUP (see T i m e
Adjustment on page 117 ).

Voice Control Basics
Your vehicle has a voice control system
that allows hands-free operation of most
of the navigation system functions. You
can also control the audio system and
the climate control system. The voice
control system uses the TA L K and
BACK buttons on the steering wheel
and a microphone near the map lights
on the ceiling.

system. Press and release it when you

This button has the same function as
the

and release it, the display returns to the
previous screen. When the previous
screen appears, the system replays the
last prompt.

ended. (The display does not return to

System Function Diagram
This diagram shows the navigation
system features, starting at the center
and working outward in layers. The
navigation program starts at “Key
ON,” and then displays the globe
screen (blue). If OK is selected on the
Disclaimer screen, the functions in the
yellow segments of the diagram become
available in the SET UP and INFO
screens.
The items above the map screen show
various methods to begin driving to
your destination (orange). You are
provided with map/voice guidance,
routing cautions, and a direction list.
While driving to your destination, use
the voice control system as much as
possible to interact with the navigation,
audio, and climate control systems
(green).
