Introduction
Read the following pages to become familiar
with the features.
{Warning
Taking your eyes off the road for too
long or too often while using any
infotainment feature can cause a crash.
You or others could be injured or killed.
Do not give extended attention to
infotainment tasks while driving. Limit
your glances at the vehicle displays and
focus your attention on driving. Use voice
commands whenever possible.
The infotainment system has built-in
features intended to help avoid distraction
by disabling some features when driving.
These features may gray out when they are
unavailable. Many infotainment features are
also available through the instrument cluster
and steering wheel controls.
Before driving:
.Become familiar with the operation,
center stack controls, steering wheel
controls, and infotainment display.

infotainment display to adjust the map scale
and display options.
.Pinch to zoom in or out.
.Pan the map.
.Use two fingers to tilt down and change
from 2D to 3D. Tilt up to change back
to 2D.
.Rotate the map.
See Using the System 0129.
Mute
When in active guidance, the audio prompts
while using navigation can be muted. Touch
the speaker icon on the right side of the
upper bar. A slash will appear on the
speaker to indicate voice guidance is muted.
Active Guidance View
When a destination is chosen and a
navigation session is active, the navigation
system enters into an Active Guidance
View (AGV). Map Orientation
Touch
Aon the map to access map
orientation settings. Map orientation is 3D
Heading Up by default.

.3D Heading Up (Default): 3D map with
the vehicle pointing up. In this mode, the
current location icon will always head up
and the map will rotate around it.
.2D Heading Up: 2D map with the vehicle
pointing up. In this mode, the current
location icon will always head up and the
map will rotate around it.
.2D North Up: 2D map with North pointing
up. In this mode, the current location icon
will shift as the vehicle turns left and
right.
Touch the icon to change the map type. The
icon and label will also update accordingly.
Depending on the zoom level of the 2D

Navigation capabilities. The system will
show an alert when the subscription is
expiring and will ask to renew the plan.
Global Positioning System (GPS)
If equipped, the position of the vehicle is
determined by using satellite signals, various
vehicle signals, and map data.
At times, other interference such as the
satellite condition, road configuration,
condition of the vehicle, and/or other
circumstances can affect the navigation
system's ability to determine the accurate
position of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position of the
vehicle using signals sent by GPS satellites.
When the vehicle is not receiving signals
from the satellites, a symbol appears on the
map screen.
This system might not be available or
interference can occur if any of the
following are true:
.Signals are obstructed by tall buildings,
trees, large trucks, or a tunnel.
.Satellites are being repaired or improved.For more information if the GPS is not
functioning properly, see
Problems with
Route Guidance 0149 and
If the System Needs Service 0150.
Vehicle Positioning
At times, the position of the vehicle on the
map could be inaccurate due to one or more
of the following reasons:
.The road system has changed.
.The vehicle is driving on slippery road
surfaces such as sand, gravel, or snow.
.The vehicle is traveling on winding roads
or long, straight roads.
.The vehicle is approaching a tall building
or a large vehicle.
.The surface streets run parallel to a
freeway.
.The vehicle has been transferred by a
vehicle carrier or a ferry.
.The current position calibration is set
incorrectly.
.The vehicle is traveling at high speed.
.The vehicle changes directions more than
once, or the vehicle is turning on a turn
table in a parking lot.
.The vehicle is entering and/or exiting a
parking lot, garage, or a lot with a roof.
.The GPS signal is not received.
.A roof carrier is installed on the vehicle.
.Tire chains have been installed.
.The tires are replaced or worn.
.The tire pressure for the tires is incorrect.
.This is the first navigation use after the
map data is updated.
.The 12-volt battery has been disconnected
for several days.
.The vehicle is driving in heavy traffic
where driving is at low speeds, and the
vehicle is stopped and started repeatedly.
Problems with Route Guidance
Inappropriate route guidance can occur
under one or more of the following
conditions:
.The turn was not made on the road
indicated.
.Route guidance might not be available
when using automatic rerouting for the
next right or left turn.
.The route might not be changed when
using automatic rerouting.
.There is no route guidance when turning
at an intersection.
.Plural names of places might be
announced occasionally.

15218978) - 2022 - CRC - 5/12/21
150 Infotainment System
.It could take a long time to operate
automatic rerouting during high-speed
driving.
.Automatic rerouting might display a route
returning to the set waypoint if heading
for a destination without passing through
a set waypoint.
.The route prohibits the entry of a vehicle
due to a regulation by time or season or
any other regulation which may be given.
.Some routes might not be searched.
.The route to the destination might not be
shown if there are new roads, if roads
have recently changed, or if certain roads
are not listed in the map data. SeeMaps
0 142.
To recalibrate the vehicle's position on the
map, park with the vehicle running for two
to five minutes, until the vehicle position
updates. Make sure the vehicle is parked in
a location that is safe and has a clear view
of the sky and away from large
obstructions.
If the System Needs Service
If the navigation system needs service, see
your dealer.
Map Data Updates
The map data in the vehicle is the most
up-to-date information available when the
vehicle was produced. The map data is
updated periodically, provided that the map
information has changed.
For questions about the operation of the
navigation system or the update process,
see your dealer.
Database Coverage Explanations
Coverage areas vary with respect to the
level of map detail available for any given
area. Some areas feature greater levels of
detail than others. If this happens, it does
not mean there is a problem with the
system. As the map data is updated, more
detail can become available for areas that
previously had limited detail. See Map Data
Updates 0150.
Voice Recognition
If equipped, voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation within the navigation,
audio, phone, and weather applications. This feature can be started by pressing either
g
on the steering wheel or touchinggon the
infotainment display.
However, not all features within these areas
are supported by voice commands.
Generally, only complex tasks that require
multiple manual interactions to complete
are supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more than one
or two touches such as selecting a song or
artist to play from a media device would be
supported by voice commands. Other tasks,
like adjusting the volume or seeking up or
down are audio features that are easily
performed by pressing one or two controls
are not supported by voice commands.
In general there are flexible ways to speak
commands for completing the tasks. Most of
them, except destination entry and voice
keypad, can be completed in a single
command. If the task takes more than one
command to complete, the first command
should be to indicate the kind of task to be
performed, like “Navigation Destination
Entry.” The system replies with prompts
that lead you through a dialog to enter the
necessary information. For example, if a
destination for route guidance is needed,
say “Navigation” or“Destination Entry.”
