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 th e map features,
guidance, and cautions.
• Information Features - 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 123)
• Troubleshooting Guide (page 133)
• Glossary of Terms (page 135)
• Voice Command List (page 138)
• Operation Specific to Alaska and Hawaii (page 121)
System Overview
Your 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. NOTICE

Navigation System5
Introduction
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.
The navigation system is easy to use. The locations of many places of business and entertainment are already entered in the syst em. 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 Precautions
If 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 Information
The 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
Introduction
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 car efully 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 Overview
Current Street
The current street on which your vehicle
is located appears at the bottom of the
map screen (see page 18). A message
saying “Not on a digitized road” may
appear instead when you drive half a
mile away from a mapped road. For
more details, see Off-road Tracking on
page 60.
Verified/Unverified Street
Your navigation system has two kinds
of streets: verified (dark colored) and
unverified (light colored). The
differences between the two types of
streets are contrasted in the chart on
page 7.
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 colored) Unverified streets (light colored)
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 street s away from the center of a town.
Street color Shown on daytime map screen as black or red, such as interstate freeways. Shown on the daytime map screen as light brown.
Map quality
The database vendor has verified these streets. Information like tu rn 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 veri fied by the database vendor. The system does not contain inform ation on one-way streets, turn restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown on the map for reference and may have e rrors in map location, naming, and address range.
Routing differences
While driving to your destin ation, the displayed route line is solid blue. The sy stem 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.
Cautions
There 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 c hooses route guidance, there are cautionary screens before and dur ing the route urging the user to be extra cautious, and obey a ll traffic restrictions. See Unverified Area Routing on page 83.
Guidance voice Voice guidance issues instruct ions such as “In a half- mile, make a right turn.” The phrase “if possible” is added to each guidance instruction. For example: “In a half-mile, ma ke a right turn, if possible.”
Time and distance “to go”
The time and distance “t o 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 thes e roads is not known, the time and distance “to go” is based on a fixed average speed of 25 mph for these roads.
