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 system 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
84.
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 page84.
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.

Navigation System13
Getting Started
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system  
as much as possible, and consider 
manual entry using the joystick as a 
backup method of entry. 
Most of the system’s functions can be  
controlled by voice commands activated 
with the NAVI TALK  button. To 
control your navigation system by 
voice: 
 Press and release the  NAVI TALK 
button.
 Wait for the beep.
 Give a voice command. 
Once the microphone picks up your  
command, the system changes the 
display in response to the command and 
prompts you for the next command. 
Using the  NAVI TALK  button, answer 
the prompts as required. If the system does not understand a 
command or you wait too long to give a 
command, it responds with “Pardon,” 
“Please repeat,” or “Would you say 
again.” If the system cannot perform a 
command or the command is not 
appropriate for the screen you are on, it 
sounds a beep. 
Anytime you are not sure of what voice  
commands are available on a screen, 
you can always say “Help” at any 
screen. The system can then read the list 
of commands to you. 
When you speak a command, the system  
generally either repeats the command as 
a confirmation or asks you for further 
information. If you do not wish to hear 
this feedback, you can turn it off. 
However, hearing the feedback will 
familiarize you with the way the system 
expects commands to be phrased. See 
the 
Voice Recognition Feedback  
setting in Setup. If you hear a prompt such as “Please use 
the touch screen to...” or “Please choose 
an area with the joystick,” the system is 
asking for input that cannot be 
performed using the voice control 
system.
Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition 
when using either the navigation or 
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® voice 
control system, the following guidelines 
should be followed: 
NOTE: 
Make sure the correct screen is  
displayed for the vo
ice command that 
you are using. See  Voice Command 
Index  on page138.
 Lower the A/C fan speed during  voice recognition operation, and 
adjust the airflow from both the 
dashboard and side vents so they do 
not blow against the microphone on 
the ceiling.
 Close the windows and the sunroof.

Navigation System15
Getting Started
Using the On-screen  
Keyboard
When the system needs input from you,  
the display changes to a keyboard. Use 
the displayed letters to enter the 
information. Enter each  letter by one of 
the following methods: 
 Using the voice control system, say  the desired letter on the screen.
 Move the highlighting to the desired  letter using the joystick, then push in  
on the joystick.
 Touch the desired le tter on the screen.
When speaking the letters or using 
“spell mode,” you can substitute the 
name that represents each letter or 
symbol. This improves recognition. The 
system will only re spond to the names 
shown in the following graphic. For 
example: 
 To select the letter “A”: Say, “ A”; 
“ Alpha ”; or “Apple .”
 To select the letter “M”: Say, “ M”; 
“ Mike”; or “Mary.” The names that can be used for each lette
r are shown below. For additional keyboard 
symbols, see page144.

Getting Started
Each entered letter will appear at the top 
of the display. Say or select  Space to 
enter a space between words. Say or  
select  Delete  to erase a letter entered 
incorrectly. 
When entering an address, the system  
searches the database for words that 
match the letters you are entering. As a 
result, you will notice that some letters 
are no longer available. 
When the system finds only one entry  
that matches, it completes the entry of 
the name for you. If the system finds 
more than one entry  that matches your 
input, the system displays a list. 
Tip: 
If you are unsure of the spelling of a  
name, enter the lette rs that you are sure 
of, and then select  List. The system 
displays a list of names that most closely 
matches your input. You can choose to have your keyboard 
displayed in alphabetized format as 
shown below: 
Or in a regular keyboard (QWERTY)  
format as shown below: 
See 
Keyboard Layout  in the Setup 
screen (second).System Start-up
When you turn the  ignition to ON (II), it 
takes several seconds for the navigation  
system to boot up. 
The first screen to  appear is the 
navigation system  globe screen. The 
screen then changes to the  Disclaimer 
screen: 
NOTE: 
The  OK button does not appear 
immediately. It appears after the  
software is loaded.
