Using the Navigation
System
Read this section thoroughly to
become familiar with how the
navigation system operates.
Keeping your eyes on the road and
your mind on driving is important for
safe driving. The navigation system
has built-in features intended to
help do this. Some features may be
disabled while driving. 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,
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 to drive, such
as entering an address or a
preset destination.
.For vehicles equipped with
phone capability, set up phone
numbers in advance so they
can be called with the press
of a single button or a single
voice command.
{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.
Use the navigation system to:
.Plan a route by selecting a
destination using the various
methods and choices.
.Follow turn-by-turn instructions
and map guidance with voice
prompts, when permitted by
traffic laws, controls, and
conditions.
.Receive RDS broadcast
announcements.

7-40 Infotainment System
Always be alert and obey traffic
and roadway laws and instructions,
regardless of the guidance from
the navigation system. Because
the navigation system uses street
map information that does not
include all traffic restrictions or
the latest road changes, it may
suggest using a road that is now
closed for construction or a turn
that is prohibited by signs at the
intersection. Because the system
uses limited information, always
evaluate whether following the
system's directions is safe and
legal for the current conditions.
Use the buttons on the navigation
system and the available screen
buttons on the navigation screen to
operate the system. SeeOverview
