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 rura
l areas, and typically include 
residential streets away fr om 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 turn rest
rictions, average speed, and 
whether it is a one-way str eet have been gathered and 
used when creating your  route to a destination. These streets have not been verifi
ed by the database vendor. The 
system does not contain information on one-way streets, turn 
restrictions, or the road’s aver age speed. They are shown on the 
map for reference and may have errors in map location, naming, 
and address range.
Routing 
differences While driving to your destination, 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 87.
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 ch
ooses route guidance, there are 
cautionary screens before and durin g the route urging the user to 
be extra cautious, and obey a ll traffic restrictions. See Unverified 
Area Routing  on page 87.
Guidance 
voice Voice guidance issues instruc
tions such as “In a half-
mile, make a right turn.” The phrase “if possible” is adde
d 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 “to go,” displayed while en 
route to a destination, is 
based on the average speed 
and distance for the road s 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.

Getting Started
Using the Voice Control SystemYou 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 the 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 unsure of what voice 
commands are available on a screen, 
you can always say “Help.” The system 
will then read the list of available 
commands to you.
When you give 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 RecognitionTo achieve optimum voice recognition 
when using either the navigation or 
Bluetooth ® HandsFreeLink® voice 
control system, the fo llowing guidelines 
should be followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is 
displayed for the voice command that 
you are using. See  Voice Command 
Index  on page 138.
 Adjust the dashboard and side vents  so air does not blow against the 
microphone on the ceiling.
 Close the windows and the sunroof.
