Traveling Across Regions
If you plan to drive across several states, you may have
to change the selected region to represent the area
you are traveling to.
There are two ways you can plan a destination when
traveling across regions.
The following method is suggested and provides the
most route guidance and map display functions:
1. Change the selected search area region when
you get closer to the area you are traveling to.
See “Setting the Search Area” underMaps
on page 4-38.
2. Enter your destination and route settings. SeeEnter
Destination on page 4-27for more information.
If you do not want to use the rst method, keep your
currently selected search area region and enter
your destination. This method allows you only to select
a destination from the easy planning route method
or from the All Points of Interest (POI) categories with
the “All Search Areas” comment for US Only. For
example, Tourist is a category that features this
comment. SeeEnter Destination on page 4-27for more
information.If you are traveling in or to Canada and you cross the
regional border, the only map scale views available
are 4 mi, 8 mi, 31 mi, and 128 mi (8 km, 16 km,
64 km and 256 km). Change the selected search area
region when you get closer to the area you are traveling
to. See “Setting the Search Area” underMaps on
page 4-38for more information.
Keyless Access System
When the engine is started, Driver 1 or Driver 2 will
display on the screen. A message will not appear on the
screen if the driver is unknown. The number on the
back of the transmitter corresponds to driver 1 or
driver 2. The navigation system can store memory points
for drivers 1 and 2 individually. SeeKeyless Access
System on page 2-4for more information.
OnStar®System
When using the OnStar®system, the audio system will
be muted and the navigation voice prompts will be
disabled during the call. The volume of the OnStar
®call
can be adjusted by using the steering wheel volume
controls. SeeOnStar
®System on page 2-38for
more information.

Navigation Audio System
Notice:Before adding any sound equipment to
your 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 may interfere with
the operation of your vehicle’s engine, radio, or
other systems, and even damage them. Your
vehicle’s systems may interfere with the operation
of sound equipment that has been added.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, the audio system can be
played even after the ignition is turned off. SeeRetained
Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-22for more
information.
The audio system is operated using navigation system
menus. The audio menus are explained in this section.

The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS).
RDS features are available for use only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information. With RDS, the radio
can do the following:
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of
programming
Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
Display messages from radio stations
Seek to stations with traffic announcements
4-59

RDS:Touch RDS to use alternate RDS functions located
in the preset menu. When you touch RDS, you will only
have about ve seconds to choose RDS ON/OFF, TA,
MSG, PTY, or SEL PTY. If you do not make a selection,
the system will return to the previous menu.
If you are tuned to a station broadcasting RDS
information, the station’s Program Service (PS) and
Program Type (PTY) will replace the station’s frequency
on the status line at the top of the display. After about
ve seconds, if available, the PTY will be replaced
on the display by the station’s PTY name. The PTY and
PTY name may be the same or different.
If the audio system is tuned to a station that is not
broadcasting RDS information, the station’s frequency
will remain on the display. While RDS is on, the
audio system will search for a stronger station in the
network if a station gets too weak for listening.
The RDS feature relies upon receiving specic
information from RDS stations. These features will
only work when RDS information is available.TA (Traffic):Touch TA to receive traffic announcements.
The audio system will turn on the TA display. TA will
appear on the display if the current station broadcasts
traffic announcements. You may also receive traffic
announcements from stations in the network related to
the current station. If the current station does not
broadcast traffic announcements, the audio system will
seek to a station which will. When the audio system nds
a station which broadcasts traffic announcements, it will
stop. If no station is found, TA will turn off.
While a traffic announcement plays, the audio system
uses TA volume. To increase TA volume, touch the VOL
button on your steering wheel or use the VOL up or down
buttons during the announcement. See “Voice Guidance
Volume Settings” underSetup Menu on page 4-13for
more information.
When a traffic announcement comes on the current radio
station or a related network station, you will hear it even if
the volume is muted or a CD is playing. If the audio
system tunes to a related network station for a traffic
announcement, it will return to the original station when
the announcement is nished. If the CD player was being
used, the CD will stay in the player and resume play at
the point where it stopped.
Touch RDS followed by TA again to turn TA off.
4-60

MSG (Message):When RDS is on, if the current
station has a message, MSG will appear on the display.
Touch MSG from the preset menu to view the
message. If the whole message does not appear on the
display, parts of the message will appear every three
seconds until the message is completed. Once the
complete message has been displayed, MSG will
disappear from the display until another new message
is received. MSG will remain available to allow you
to display the entire message again.
PTY:PTY allows you to seek only stations with types
of programs you want to listen to. This button is used to
turn on and off Program Type (PTY) features.
With RDS on, touch RDS, followed by PTY. The PTY
display will turn on. Touch RDS followed by this
button again to turn the PTY display off.
Select PTY (Select Program Type):With RDS and
PTY on, touch RDS, then SEL PTY. The PTY menu will
appear. Use the up and down arrows to select a
PTY. Touch your PTY selection and the system will
return you to the screen with the preset stations shown.
See Steps 1 through 7 under “Preset Station Menu”
to store the selected PTYs. The selected PTY is then
stored on the preset. You can now touch the PTY preset
to recall your settings.When the PTY display is on, press TUNE/SEEK and
SCAN to nd radio stations of the PTY selected. The last
PTY selected will be used for seek and scan modes.
If a station with the selected PTY is not found, NONE
FOUND will appear on the display. If both PTY and TA
are on, the audio system will search for stations with
traffic announcements and the selected PTY.
PTY (Program Type) Presets:The six presets let you
return to your favorite PTYs. These presets have
factory PTY preset stations. See “RDS Program Type
(PTY) Selections” later in this section. You can set up to
12 PTYs, 6 FM 1 and 6 FM2. To save a PTY preset,
