Navigation System5
Introduction
The navigation system applies location,
direction, and speed information to the
maps and calculates a route to the
destination you enter. As you drive to
that destination, the system provides
map and voice guidance.
The navigation system is easy to use.
The locations of many places of
business and entertainment are already
entered in the system. You can select
any of them as a destination by using the
Interface Dial or voice control.
There are several ways to enter a
destination, such as by point of interest
(POI), by address, by phone number,
and by selecting it from the map. The
last 50 destinations are saved for reuse
at a later date. The system also allows
you to store a home address to simplify
returning home from your destination.Accessories Precautions
If you have front or side window tinting
installed, be aware that if the tint has
metallic properties, it can seriously
degrade or prevent GPS reception. This
is because the GPS an tenna is located in
the dashboard.
If you plan to install electronic
components such as radar detectors,
vehicle tracking devices, remote
starters, additional amplifiers, or other
audio components, ensure that they are
not located near the navigation display,
or near the GPS antenna in the
dashboard. Signal noise emanating from
these devices can cause intermittent
disruption of the navigation system.
Important Safety Information
The navigation system can distract your
attention from the road if you focus on
the screen or operate the system’s
controls while driving.
Enter as much information as possible
into the system before you begin
driving, or when the vehicle is stopped.
Then, as you drive, listen to the audio
instructions and use voice commands
when possible.

6Navigation System
Introduction
While driving, do not look at the screen
or operate the system controls for more
than a second or so at a time, and only
after deciding you can do so safely. Pull
to the side of the road if you need more
time to look at the screen or operate the
controls. The navigation system is designed to
provide route information to help you
reach your destination. However, this
route guidance may sometimes conflict
with current road conditions such as
street closures, road construction,
detours, and out-of-date map data.
Additionally, the system itself has
certain limitations (see page
123).
Therefore, you must verify the audio
and visual route information provided
by the system by caref ully observing the
roadway, signs and signals, etc. If you
are unsure, proceed with caution.
Always use your own good judgment,
and obey traffic laws while driving.
Map Overview
Current Street
The current street on which your vehicle
is located appears at the bottom of the
map screen (see page 20). A message
saying “Not on a digitized road” may
appear instead when you drive half a
mile away from a mapped road. For
more details, see Off-road Tracking on
page 71.
Verified/Unverified Street
Your navigation system has two kinds
of streets: verified (red, gray, and pink)
and unverified (purple). The differences
between the two types of streets are
contrasted in the chart on page 7.
Using the navigation system
while driving can take your
attention away from the road,
causing a crash in which you
could be seriously injured or
killed.
Only operate system controls
when the conditions permit
you to safely do so.

Screen
All selections and instructions are
displayed on the screen. The display is
not a “touch screen” - you can enter
information into the system either by
voice or by using the Interface Dial.
Clean the screen with a soft, damp cloth.
You may use a mild cleaner intended for
use on computer screens.
NOTE:
Whenever you shift to R (Reverse), the
rear view behind the vehicle is shown on
the navigation system screen. See
page 119.
Lower Display
Shows a summary of the audio
information, as well as the time. This
summary is helpful as a confirmation
when adjusting audio by voice.
The audio summary consists of the radio
band, frequency, and volume. For XM
radio, a brief description of the station
and current music is displayed.
The time is automatically set by the
navigation system. Settings can be
adjusted in SETUP (see Time
Adjustment on page115).

Voice Control Basics
Your vehicle has a voice control system
that allows hands-free operation of most
of the navigation system functions. You
can also control the audio, phone, and
climate control sy stem. The voice
control system uses the TALK and
BACK buttons on the steering wheel
and a microphone near the map lights on
the ceiling.
NOTE:
While using the voice control system,
the audio system is muted.
TALK button
This button activates the voice control
system. Press and release it when you
want to give a voice command. See
Voice Command Index on page157 for
a list of voice commands.
BACK button
This button has the same function as the
CANCEL button. When you press and
release it, the display returns to the
previous screen. When the previous
screen appears, the system replays the
last prompt.
When you press this button during voice
recognition, voice re cognition is ended.

Viewing Flow Data
Traffic flow data is displayed as colored
bands on either side of the freeway (see
Traffic Display Legend on page22).
The different colored bands represent
the average road speeds as determined
by under-road sensor s and other probes.
While driving to your destination on a
road that has traffic flow data, your
route line color is used to display the
traffic flow data. This means that when
the map scale is set to one of the traffic
scales (1/20 through 5 mile scale), your
blue route line may appear as alternating
orange or red segments (see Traffic
Display Legend on page22).
NOTE:
A blue route line segment on a freeway
can mean one of two things:
• Under-road sensors, GPS probes, cell phone probes, and other methods
used to collect traffic speed
information.
• The road has no sensors, and traffic conditions are unknown (they could
be congested). Naturally, only roads with these sensors
will show traffic information. The
amount of flow data varies considerably
from one city to another. This map
display is refreshed continuously. You
can only view traffic information in the
city where yo
u are located.
NOTE:
Traffic flow and incident icons are displayed on the 5 miles (8 km) or
less map scale.
Not all freeways within a metropolitan area have traffic flow
data (colored bands on the side of the
freeways) - this is normal, and you
cannot assume that a lack of data
implies no traffic.
Not all cities have traffic flow information. See cities listed on
page 143.
Due to freeway maintenance and construction, traffic flow may be
available only for one side of a road,
or be missing entirely for some
portion of the freeway. The displayed traffic flow may
conflict with other audio- or Internet-
based traffic information.
If traffic flow is not showing, verify that the “TRAFFIC” selection for the
Icon Bar is ON, and that the icon
options for traffic are both ON (see
page 61).

No Traffic Incidents
If you say “Display traffic incidents” or
select Traffic Incidents , but there are
no incidents, the following screen will
be displayed.
Selecting an Incident Icon from the
Map Screen
Zoom in or out so that you are between
the 1/20 and 5 mile scales. (The map
must be on the 1/20 to 5 mile scales to
view the incident icons). To view the
details of a specific incident, use the
Interface Dial to position the cursor
(round red circle) over the incident icon
you are interested in. Push in on the
Interface Dial and select Traffic to
view a pop-up box summary describing
the incident.
To see the incident details, push in on
the Interface Dial . To return to your
current position map screen, say or
select Return . To continue viewing
incidents in your “scrolled to” location,
press the CANCEL button. NOTE:
Incident reports may be displayed on
roads that have no traffic flow data
available.
Freeway incident reports can lag behind the actual incident, or remain
displayed after an incident has
cleared. This is normal, and is
dependent on the reporting agency
and the speed at which the data is
updated.
The displayed inci dents may conflict
with other audio- or Internet-based
traffic information.
