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.

Getting Started
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.
(The display does not return to the
previous screen.)

Getting Started
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system
as much as possible, and consider
manual entry using the Interface Dial
as a backup method.
Most of the system’s functions can be
controlled by voice commands activated
with the TALK button. To control the
navigation system by voice:
• Press and release the TALK button. A
guidance prompt will be played, and
a pop-up voice icon ( ) will appear
in the upper left corner of the screen.
• Wait for the beep.
• Give a voice command. (Voice commands that the system recognizes
are highlighted.)
Once the microphone picks up your
command, the system changes the
display in response to the command.
Press the TALK button to get a
guidance prompt for the next command.
NOTE:
To interrupt guidance prompts, press
the TALK button again. Wait for the
beep, and give a command. If the system does not understand a
command or you wait too long to give a
command, it responds with “Pardon? No
comment was heard. Please press the
Talk button and say a command.” If the
system cannot perform a command or
the command is not appropriate for the
screen you are on,
a beep will sound.
You can find out which voice
commands are available for a particular
screen by saying “Help.” The system
will display and read the list of available
commands to you. (When Help is
grayed out, this feature cannot be used.)
When you give a command, the system
either performs the command or
transitions to the next step in a task.
NOTE:
Guidance prompts can be turned off.
See page 55. If you hear a prompt such as “Please use
the Interface Dial
to...” or “Please
choose an area with the Interface Dial ,”
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 the 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 page 157.
• It is best if the windows and moonroof are closed. If they are open,
speak a little louder to overcome the
wind noises.

Navigation System15
Getting Started
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents
so air does not blow against the
microphone on the ceiling.
• If more than one person is speaking at the same time, the system may
misinterpret your command.
• Give a voice command in a clear, natural speaking voice without
pausing between words.
• Try to reduce any background noise.
• If you are still having trouble with the voice control sy stem, refer to Voice
Help on the INFO screen ( Main
Info.) or say “Help” while the
icon is displayed on the top left of the
screen.
NOTE:
The voice control system can only be
used in the driver’s seat because the
microphone unit removes noises from
the front passenger’s side.Selecting an Item (Button)
on the Screen
On most screens, there are items that
can be selected (like buttons with titles
such as OK or Return ). To select an
item on any screen, do one of the
following:
• Use the voice control system and say the name of the desired item. Almost
all selectable items on the screen,
including some listed items, are
recognized by the voice control
system.
• Move the highlighting to the desired item with the Interface Dial or its
knob , then push in on the Interface
Dial .
Tip:
If items are grayed out, this means that
they cannot be selected.
Selecting an Item in a List
To scroll through a list, do one of the
following:
• Rotate the Interface Dial knob to
scroll one item at a time.
• Use the voice control system to scroll page by page. For example, to scroll
up, say “Up” or “Previous.” To scroll
down, say “Next” or “Down.”
If you cannot find the desired name, or
have made an error, return to the
previous screen by pressing the
CANCEL or the BACK button on the
steering wheel.
To select the desired item in the list, do
one of the following:
• Use the voice control system, and say the item number of the desired item.
• Rotate the Interface Dial knob to
move the highlighting to the item,
then push in on the Interface Dial.

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).
