7-2 Infotainment System
Introduction
Read this manual thoroughly to
become familiar with how the
navigation system operates.
The navigation system includes
navigation and audio functions.
Keeping your eyes on the road
and your mind on the drive is
important for safe driving. The
navigation system has built-in
features intended to help keep
your eyes on the road and mind on
the drive. A few features may be
disabled while driving. Note that
these functions will be grayed-out.
A grayed-out function indicates it is
not available when the vehicle is
moving.All functions are available when the
vehicle is parked. Do the following
before driving:
.Become familiar with the
navigation system operation,
control buttons on the faceplate,
and touch-sensitive screen
buttons of the navigation
system.
.Set up the audio by presetting
favorite stations, setting the
tone, and adjusting the
speakers.
.Set up the navigation features
before beginning driving, such
as entering an address or a
preset destination.
.Set up your phone numbers
in advance so they can be
called easily with the press
of a single button or a single
voice command (for navigation
systems equipped with phone
capability).
{WARNING
Taking your eyes off the road too
long or too often while using the
navigation system could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death
to you or others. Focus your
attention on driving.
{WARNING
Avoid looking too long or too
often at the moving map on the
navigation screen. This could
cause a crash and you or others
can be injured or killed. Use the
turn-by-turn voice guidance
directions whenever possible.

Radio
AM-FM Radio
Notice:Before adding any
sound equipment to the vehicle,
such as an audio system,
CD player, CB radio, mobile
telephone, or two-way radio,
make sure that it can be added
by checking with your dealer.
Also, check federal rules
covering mobile radio and
telephone units. If sound
equipment can be added, it is
very important to do it properly.
Added sound equipment can
interfere with the operation of
the vehicle's engine, radio,
or other systems, and even
damage them. The vehicle's
systems can interfere with the
operation of sound equipment
that has been added. Notice:
The chime signals
related to safety belts, parking
brake, and other functions
of the vehicle operate through
the navigation system. If that
equipment is replaced or
additional equipment is added
to the vehicle, the chimes
may not work. Make sure that
replacement or additional
equipment is compatible with the
vehicle before installing it. See
“Accessories and Modifications”
in the vehicle's owner manual.

XM Theftlocked:The XM™
receiver may have previously been
in another vehicle. For security
purposes, XM™ receivers cannot be
swapped between vehicles. If this
message is received after having
your vehicle serviced, check with
your dealer.
XM Radio ID: If tuned to channel 0,
this message will alternate with the
XM™ Radio eight digit radio ID
label. This label is needed to
activate the service.
Unknown: If this message is
received when tuned to channel 0,
there may be a receiver fault.
Consult with your dealer.
Check XM Receiver: If this
message does not clear within a
short period of time, the receiver
may have a fault. Consult with your
dealer.
No Subscription Please Renew:
The XM subscription needs to
be reactivated. Contact XM at
www.xmradio.com or call
1-800-929-2100.Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic
devices are plugged into the
accessory power outlet. If there is
interference or static, unplug the
item from the accessory power
outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere
with each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations
boost the power levels during the
day, and then reduce these levels
during the night. Static can also
occur when things like storms and
power lines interfere with radio
reception. When this happens, try
reducing the treble on the radio.
FM Stereo
FM signals only reach about
16 to 65 km (10 to 40 miles).
Although the radio has a built-in
electronic circuit that automatically
works to reduce interference, some
static can occur, especially around
tall buildings or hills, causing the
sound to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM Satellite Radio Service gives
digital radio reception from coast
to coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada.
Just as with FM, tall buildings or
hills can interfere with satellite radio
signals, causing the sound to fade
in and out. In addition, traveling
or standing under heavy foliage,
bridges, garages, or tunnels may
cause loss of the XM signal for a
period of time.

7-18 Infotainment System
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause
interference with the vehicle's radio.
This interference may occur when
making or receiving phone calls,
charging the phone's battery,
or simply having the phone on.
This interference causes an
increased level of static while
listening to the radio. If static is
received while listening to the
radio, unplug the cellular phone
and turn it off.
Rear Side Window
Antenna
The AM-FM antenna is located in
the passenger rear side windows.
Make sure the inside surfaces of the
rear side windows are not scratched
and that the lines on the glass are
not damaged. If the inside surfaces
are damaged, they could interfere
with radio reception.If a cellular telephone antenna
needs to be attached to the glass,
make sure that the grid lines for the
AM-FM antenna are not damaged.
There is enough space between
the grid lines to attach a cellular
telephone antenna without
interfering with radio reception.
Notice:
Using a razor blade or
sharp object to clear the inside
of the rear side windows may
affect radio reception or damage
the rear side window antenna.
Repairs would not be covered by
the warranty. Do not clear the
inside of the rear side windows
with sharp objects. Notice:
Do not apply aftermarket
glass tinting with metallic film.
The metallic film in some tinting
materials will interfere with
or distort the incoming radio
reception. Any damage caused to
the antenna due to metallic tinting
materials will not be covered by
the warranty.
Satellite Radio Antenna
The XM Satellite Radio antenna is
located on the roof of the vehicle.
Keep the antenna clear of
obstructions for clear radio
reception.
If the vehicle has a sunroof, the
performance of the XM system
(if equipped) may be affected if
the sunroof is open.
