System Overview
Your navigation system is a highly
sophisticated location system with voice
control that uses satellites and a map
database to show you where you are and
to help guide you to a desired
destination.
The navigation system receives signals
from the global po sitioning system
(GPS), a network of 24 satellites in orbit
around the earth. By receiving signals
from several of these satellites, the
navigation system can determine the
latitude, longitude, and elevation of
your vehicle. In addition, a gyroscopic
yaw sensor and a vehicle speed sensor
in your vehicle keep track of the
direction and speed of travel at all times. The navigation system applies this
location, direction, and speed
information to the maps and calculates a
route to the destination you enter. As
you drive to that des
tination, the system
provides map and voice guidance.
The navigation system is easy to use.
The locations of many places of
business and entertai nment are already
entered in the system. You can select
any of them as a destination by using the
touch screen, joystick 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.

Navigation System11
Getting Started
Joystick/ENT button
Moves left, right, up and down, to move
the highlighting around the display, to
scroll through lists, or to look around a
displayed map. After making a selection
in a menu or list, push in on the joystick
to enter the selection into the system.
In almost all cases, you can enter a
selection into the system by using the
voice control system , highlighting the
item and pushing in on the joystick, or
by touching the appropriate item you
wish to select.
ZOOM IN /OUT buttons
Press ZOOM IN to zoom in (to show
more detail), or ZOOM OUT to zoom
out (to show more area and less detail)
while a map screen is displayed.
ZOOM IN reduces the scale (showing
less area with greater detail). ZOOM
OUT increases the scale (showing more
area with less detail). See page52 Screen
All selections and instructions are
displayed on the screen. In addition, the
display is a “touch screen” – you can
enter information into the system by
touching the images (icons) on the
screen with your finger.
For example, if you need to enter a
street name, a keyboard will be
displayed. You can type in the street
name by saying or selecting the
individual character
s on the screen.
Clean the screen with a soft damp cloth.
You may use a mild cleanser intended
for use on liquid crystal displays
(LCDs). Harsher chemicals may
damage the screen. NOTE:
Whenever you shift to R (reverse), the
rear view is shown on the navigation
system screen. See page95.

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 page131.

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.

By Address
After you select Address from the
Enter destination by screen, the
display changes to:
Tip:
 When entering an address by voice, it is more efficient to say the city name
first, then the street name.
 When entering an address by touch, it is usually easier to enter the street
first. A city or cities that the street
appears in will be displayed. For
your convenience, you do not have to
enter both city and street. NOTE:
If you find that your city is not listed, it
may be part of a larger metropolitan
area. Try entering the street first.
Selecting the State or Province
The state you are in is displayed at the
top of the screen. If your desired
destination is in another state, select
Change State
.
The display then changes to the Enter
state name screen. Use the voice
control system and say the name of the
state or use the on-s creen keyboard to
enter the name of the state.
Selecting the City
This is helpful if the street runs through
several cities, and you know what city
includes the street. Th e city you are in is
displayed on the screen. If the city you
want is displayed on the screen, say
“Select current city .” If your desired
destination is in another city, say or
enter that city.
By Voice Control:
Say “City” on the Find address by
screen, and the display changes to the
Say city name screen. Say the city
name and the searching will begin.
NOTE:
To improve voice recognition, when
saying the city name, pronounce the
syllables as clearly as possible.
Entering a Destination

Navigation System23
To enter the city name by voice spelling,
say or select CHANGE TO Spell
Mode on the Say city name screen,
and the display will change to the Enter
city name screen.
Say the city name by saying individual
letters, one at a time. The system has a talk back function. If
your spoken letter is
not recognized, the
system will talk back to you. For
example, if you say “E” but the system
does not recognize the command, it will
ask you “Please select the number of the
input letter from the list” and the
following pop-up box will appear:
You should select a letter by saying the
number.
Alternatively, to improve voice
recognition, you can say “Echo” or
“Edward” instead of “E.”
See page15 for a list of available words
for each letter.By Touch Control:
Select City, and the display then
changes to the Enter city name screen.
Use the on-screen keyb oard to enter the
name of the city.
The system will display a list of city
names, with the closest match to the
name you entered at the top of the list.
Select the number (1-6) of the desired
city from the list.
