Introduction Manual Overview The manual is divided into the following sections: • Getting Started - A basic introduction that discusses the controls and how to communicate with the system. • Entering a Destination - How to enter an address or locate a point of interest (POI). • Driving to Your Destination - An explanation of the map features, guidance, and cautions.
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.
Introduction WARNING 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. Follow all operating instructions and safety information in this manual. 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.
Introduction Verified streets Unverified streets 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 streets away from the center of a town. Street color Shown as red (freeways), pink (state routes), or gray (verified streets) on the daytime map screen. Shown on the daytime map screen as purple. The database vendor has verified these streets.

System Initialization System Initialization Entering the Security Code GPS Initialization If for any reason you lose power to the navigation system (e.g., the battery was disconnected), the navigation system will require initialization. Once completed, your system will be ready to use. If the battery goes dead or is disconnected for any reason, you will have to enter a security code for the audio and navigation system before you can use it again.
System Initialization If the navigation system finds the satellites properly, this box clears and the Disclaimer screen is shown. If within 10 minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your position, the following screen appears: Map Matching This part of the initialization matches the GPS coordinates found above with a road on the map screen.
System Limitations Also, depending on your current view of the sky and the position of the satellites, the elevation may be shown incorrectly. You may also notice some delay of the vehicle position icon at intersections; this is normal. GPS Reception Issues The signals received from the GPS satellites are extremely weak (less than a millionth of the strength of a local FM station) and require an unobstructed view of sky.
Database Limitations You will find that some points of interest (POI) may be missing when you search the database. This can be caused if at the time the database was gathered, the name was misspelled, the place was improperly categorized, or the POI change is not yet in the database. This means you may not find places listed that you know exist. This is also true for police agencies and hospitals. In outlying areas, facilities listed may not be the closest.
