Manual Overview  
System Overview  
The manual is divided into the  
following sections:  
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 positioning 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

Navigation System  
Introduction  
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 destination, the system  
provides map and voice guidance.  
Accessories Precautions  
Important Safety Information  
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 antenna is located  
under the dashboard.  
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.  
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  
touch screen, joystick, or voice control.  
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 control  
unit under the dashboard, near the  
navigation screen in the dash, or near  
the GPS antenna under the dashboard.  
Signal noise emanating from these  
devices can cause intermittent  
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.  
disruption of the navigation system.

Introduction  
WARNING  
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.  
Map Overview  
Current Street  
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.  
The current street on which your vehicle  
is appears at the bottom of the map  
screen (see page 18). 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 59.  
Additionally, the system itself has  
certain limitations (see page 98).  
Follow all operating instructions  
and safety information in this  
manual.  
Therefore, you must verify the audio  
and visual route information provided  
by the system by carefully 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.  
Verified/Unverified Street  
Your navigation system has two kinds  
of streets: verified (dark colored) and  
unverified (light colored). The  
differences between the two types of  
streets are contrasted in the chart on  
page 7.  
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.

Voice Control Basics  
This button has the same function as the

release it, the display returns to the  
previous screen. When the previous  
screen appears, the system replays the  
last prompt. This button is enabled for  
the navigation system commands only.  
However, it can be used to cancel an  
audio or climate control voice command  
up to one second after the command  
confirmation.  
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 system and  
the climate control system. The voice  
control system uses the NAVI TALK  
and NAVI BACK buttons on the  
steering wheel and a microphone near  
the map lights on the ceiling.

Getting Started  
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.  
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.  
Using the Voice Control System  
You 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 your navigation system by  
voice:  
Improving Voice Recognition  
To achieve optimum voice recognition,  
the following guidelines should be  
followed:  
Anytime you are not sure of what voice  
commands are available on a screen,  
you can always say “Help” at any  
screen. The system can then read the list  
of commands to you.  
• Press and release the NAVI TALK  
NOTE:  
button.  
Make sure the correct screen is  
displayed for the voice command that  
you are using. See Voice Command  
Index on page 137.  
• Wait for the beep.  
When you speak 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.  
• 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.  
• Lower the A/C fan speed during  
voice recognition operation, and  
adjust the airflow from both the  
dashboard and side vents so they do  
not blow against the microphone on  
the ceiling.  
• Close the windows and the sunroof.

• If more than one person is speaking at  
the same time, the system may  
misinterpret your command.  
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:  
Selecting an Item in a List  
To scroll through a list, do one of the  
following:  
• After pressing and releasing the  
NAVI TALK button, wait for the  
beep, then give a voice command.  
• Use the joystick to scroll through the  
list item by item.  
• Use the voice control system and say  
“Next” or “Previous” or use the “on-  
screen” scroll up or down buttons, or  
the ZOOM buttons to scroll through  
the list page by page.  
• Give a voice command in a clear,  
natural speaking voice without  
pausing between words.  
• 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.  
• If the system cannot recognize your  
command because of background  
noise, speak louder.

Map Orientation  
The map can be orientated two ways:  
• North-up: North pointing up as you  
would normally view a paper map.  
In the larger map scales (above  
1 mile or 1.6 kilometer), the map is  
always oriented with north facing  
upward. You cannot change the  
orientation.  
• Heading-up: The map constantly  
rotates so the road you are driving on  
always points up (as you see the road  
through your front windshield).  
NOTE:  
• For information on the available  
voice commands, see Voice  
Command Index on page 137.  
• If you are en route and the joystick is  
moved, the “Time to Destination”  
and “Distance to Destination”

indicator showing distance from the  
current vehicle location.

Destination Icon  
Landmark Icons  
The destination icon only shows the  
approximate location of the destination.  
This occurs because a city block can  
have as many as 100 possible addresses  
(for example, the 1400 block is followed  
by the 1500 block). Most cities use only  
a portion of the 100 possible addresses  
(for example, in the 1400 block, the  
addresses may only go up to 1425  
before the 1500 block starts). Therefore,  
the address 1425 will be shown a  
quarter of the way down the block by  
the system instead of near the end of the  
block where the destination is actually  
located.  
Landmark icons are shown in the map  
screen on the 1/20 and 1/8 mile scales or  
80 and 200 meter scales. The Freeway

“unverified” roads. You make this  
choice in Setup screen (second). The  
next few pages contain an example of a  
route to a destination in an unverified  
area explaining the routing differences  
found in unverified areas.  
Unverified Area Routing “Off”  
With Unverified Area Routing Off,  
the system tries to use verified roads  
whenever possible. In this example,  
since only verified streets are used, it  
created a longer route than necessary.  
With Unverified Area Routing On,  
the route is shorter, but consists of  
unverified (light colored) streets that  
may not be accurate. Because the streets  
are unverified, there may be errors in  
street location, name, or address range.  
Additional caution is recommended in  
these areas. Always obey posted traffic  
restrictions.  
NOTE:  
Unverified roads are shown only when

following a dotted “vector line” that  
points to your destination.  
Unverified Area Routing “Off”  
Unverified Area Routing “On”  
With Unverified Area Routing On,  
a caution box appears on the screen and  
is read by the voice. In this case, you  
will be presented with a dashed blue/  
pink line instead of the regular blue  
route line. This is your signal to pay  
attention to posted traffic restrictions.  
You cannot assume that all guidance is

Whenever you shift to R (Reverse) with  
the ignition switch in the ON (II)  
position, the rear view is shown on the  
navigation screen. For the best image,  
always keep the rearview camera lens  
clean, and be sure it is not covered.  
Since the rearview camera display area  
is limited, you should always back up  
slowly and carefully, and look behind  
you for obstacles.

System Initialization  
Enter the four-digit security code, then  
select Done. If you make a mistake, the  
system will display “incorrect PIN.” Re-  
enter your 4-digit security code. If you  
have entered it correctly, the display  
changes to the Disclaimer screen. You  
have 10 chances to enter the correct  
code. If all 10 are incorrect, turn the  
ignition to OFF, then back to ON (II) to  
have 10 more chances to enter the  
correct code.  
System Initialization  
Entering the Security Code  
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 both the  
audio system and the navigation system  
before you can use it again.  
When you purchased the vehicle, you  
should have received two cards  
This initialization requires the  
following:  
containing the audio and navigation  
system’s security codes and serial  
numbers. Keep these cards in a safe  
place in case you need the codes. If you  
lose the cards, you must obtain the  
security codes from your dealer.  
• Entry of the 4-digit anti-theft security  
code.  
NOTE:  
The anti-theft security code is unrelated  
to your optional navigation system PIN  
(for Personal Address Book or Home  
Address).  
• GPS initialization (may not be needed  
depending on the length of time the  
system was without power).  
• Map matching to align the GPS  
coordinates to a place on the map  
(displays current street at the bottom  
of the map).  
96 Navigation System  
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:  
GPS Initialization  
Map Matching  
Depending on the length of time the  
battery was disconnected, your system  
may require GPS initialization. If it  
does, the following screen appears:  
This part of the initialization matches  
the GPS coordinates found above with a  
road on the map screen. To perform this  
part of the procedure, ensure that the  
navigation system is displaying a map,  
and drive the vehicle on a mapped road  
(a road shown on the map screen). Do  
not enter a destination at this time.  
When the name of the current road you  
are driving on appears at the bottom of  
the screen, the entire procedure is  
complete. Your system is now ready to  
use.  
The navigation system lost power and is acquiring its  
location from the GPS satellites. This usually takes  
less than 10 minutes.  
* Start the engine.  
* Park the vehicle in an open area away from trees,  
power lines, and tall buildings.  
* Remove loose articles, cell phones, or electrical  
accessories located near the GPS antenna.  
* If this screen is displayed repeatedly when starting  
the vehicle, see your dealer.  
Something is interfering with the system’s ability to  
acquire its location. Check the following:  
* The vehicle must be in an open area with a clear  
view of the sky.  
* Remove sources of GPS interference like metallic  
window tint above antenna, or electrical items  
near antenna (see owner's manual for details).  
* Check GPS antenna cable connection.  
* Restart the engine and repeat the GPS acquire  
procedure. If the problem persists, see your dealer.  
If this procedure is not necessary, the  
system proceeds directly to the  
Disclaimer screen (see page 16).  
During initialization, the system  
searches for all available GPS satellites  
and obtains their orbital information.  
During this procedure, the vehicle  
should be out in the open with a clear  
view of the sky.  
If the system is still unable to acquire a  
signal, follow the instructions on the  
screen, or contact your local dealer for  
assistance.  
NOTE:  
The average acquiring time is less than  
10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45  
minutes.  
Navigation System 97  
System Limitations  
Although your navigation system is one  
of the most highly sophisticated pieces  
of equipment you will find in a modern  
automobile, you may find during its use  
that it has certain limitations.  
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.  
• Other aftermarket audio electronic  
devices mounted near the navigation  
unit  
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway  
overpasses, tunnels, or overhead  
electrical power wires  
The system uses Global Positioning  
System (GPS) signals to aid in  
determining its current location. The  
GPS is operated by the U.S.  
Department of Defense. For security  
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies  
built into the GPS that the navigation  
system must constantly compensate for.  
This can cause occasional positioning  
errors of up to several hundred feet.  
GPS Reception Issues  
Although the system will direct you to  
your desired destination, it may not  
always generate what you consider to be  
the most direct route. Try changing the  
method of routing. See Changing the  
Routing Method on page 45. You may  
also have Unverified Area Routing set  
to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on  
page 82.  
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 the sky. The signal can easily be  
interrupted or interfered with by the  
following:  
• Aftermarket metallic window tint  
above or to the sides of the GPS  
antenna (located under the  
dashboard)  
For example, in urban areas where  
streets are close together, this could  
cause the system to show that you are  
traveling on a street that parallels the  
street you are actually on. The system  
will, under most circumstances, correct  
itself while you drive.  
Additionally, the mapping database  
contains verified and unverified maps.  
See Map Overview on page 6. A  
Disclaimer screen will warn you if your  
route includes unverified streets.  
Unverified streets may be missing from  
the map, in the wrong location, or have  
an incorrect name or address range.  
Exercise additional caution when  
driving in these unverified areas.  
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other  
electronic devices docked in a cradle  
or lying loose on the dashboard  
• Radar detectors mounted on the  
dashboard  
• Remote starters, or “hidden” vehicle  
tracking systems mounted near the  
navigation unit  
98 Navigation System  
System Limitations  
The destination icon shows the  
approximate location of the destination.  
This occurs because a city block can  
have as many as 100 possible addresses  
(for example, the 1400 block is followed  
by the 1500 block). Since most cities  
use only a portion of the 100 possible  
addresses (for example, in the 1400  
block, the addresses may only go up to  
1425 before the 1500 block starts), the  
address 1425 will be shown a quarter of  
the way down the block by the system  
instead of at the end of the block where  
the destination is actually located.  
You may find that the system  
occasionally reboots. This is indicated  
by the display returning to the globe  
screen. A reboot can be caused by a  
number of things, such as extreme  
temperatures or shock from bumpy  
roads. It does not necessarily indicate a  
problem that requires service. If this  
happens frequently, please see your  
dealer.

Accordingly, your DVD may contain  
inaccurate or incomplete data or

or other causes.  
In addition, this database does not  
include, analyze, process, consider, or  
reflect any of the following categories  
of information:  
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

means you may not find places listed  
that you know exist. This is also true for  
police agencies and hospitals. In

information, see page 103.  
• Construction work, zones, or hazards  
• Road and lane closures  
Every effort has been made to verify  
that the system’s database was accurate  
at the time it was created. However,  
businesses do close or relocate, and new  
businesses start in the old locations. For  
this reason, you may occasionally find  
inaccurate information when you select  
and drive to a point of interest (for  
example, a restaurant is now a jewelry  
store). The number of these inaccuracies  
increases the longer you go without an  
update.

or off unverified routing (see

XM Radio  
Operation in Alaska and  
Hawaii  
Certain functions that rely on a satellite  
signal will not work in Alaska and  
Hawaii. These functions include but are  
not limited to XM radio, automatic  
clock updates, and time zone  
adjustments.  
Navigation-equipped vehicles delivered  
to Hawaii are equipped with XM  
hardware, but XM broadcasting is not  
available; therefore sections of the  
manual that mention XM audio do not  
apply. Vehicles originally delivered to  
the U.S. mainland and shipped to Hawaii  
also have XM, but will not function  
because the XM satellites (aimed toward  
the U.S. mainland) are too far away to  
obtain reception.  
• When zooming in and out, there is no  
350-mile scale for Hawaii.  
Other Map Issues  
• See the coverage section for a list of  
islands with coverage (see page 107).

• Freeway Exit information does not  
exist in Hawaii, so the “Freeway Exit  
Info” icon is not shown on the icon  
bar.  
If the vehicle was purchased in the  
lower 48 states and driven to Alaska, the  
system cannot display maps. The

Address and POI Entry Screens  
When in Hawaii, the following  
differences occur for map, address, and  
POI selection:  
Setup Screen Differences  
The Setup screen differences are minor  
and are listed below. See the Setup  
section (page 72) for additional  
information.  
Shipping a Vehicle To or From  
Hawaii  
Although the DVD in the vehicle  
contains maps for both U.S. mainland  
and Hawaii, the dealer must perform the  
selection of “U.S. mainland” or  
“Hawaii” for you. When the dealer  
makes the switch from U.S. mainland to  
Hawaii or vice versa, the system clears  
all user data. Make sure to record any  
personal information that you do not  
want to lose.  
• It is not possible to enter U.S.  
mainland addresses or scroll the map  
east to the U.S. mainland.  
Routing and Guidance (Unverified  
Area Routing On/Off)  
This feature is unavailable. All roads  
displayed on the map are verified.  
• Selection of the “State” is confined to  
the state of Hawaii only.  
• Entry of a destination address or POI  
on an island other than your current  
island may result in a screen caution  
message. This is normal because  
there are no “ferry” routes between  
islands available in the database.  
Clock Adjust Screen  
There is no daylight saving time for  
Hawaii. Auto Daylight Saving  
Time, Auto Time Zone by GPS, and  
DST Selection will not be shown on  
the Clock adjustment screen. To test  
your adjustment, use the voice control  
system, and say “What time is it?” (see  
page 92).  
NOTE:  
Shipping a vehicle from Hawaii to the  
U.S. mainland  
• If you wish to receive XM audio you  
must call XM and set up an account  
at (800) 852-9696.  
• If the “Guidance Prompts” setting on  
the Setup screen is set to normal or  
maximum, street names will not be  
spoken in voice guidance commands.  
Shipping a vehicle from the U.S.  
mainland to Hawaii  
• If a U.S. mainland-delivered vehicle  
is shipped to Hawaii, there is no XM  
reception. See your Hawaii dealer to  
allow viewing of local Hawaii maps.  
• The issues under “Operation in  
Hawaii” above apply.

Problem  
Solution  
The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See  
the way some other mapping program displays. Why is this? Changing the Routing Method on page 45.  
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been  
here for more than a year.  
The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page 103 for  
ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.  
The vehicle position icon is not following the road, and the  
“GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is  
white or missing.  
• The GPS antenna (located under the center of the dashboard) may be  
blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the

The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this?  
Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by touching the map  
orientation icon on the map screen. See Map Orientation on page 54.  
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and  
Heading-up map orientations. Why is this?

Frequently Asked Questions  
Display, PC Card, Accessories  
Problem  
Solution  
The display appears dim when starting the car in really cold  
weather. Is there a problem?  
No. This is normal, and it will become brighter after a few minutes.  
The screen does not close completely. Why is this?  
• Ensure that it is not during inserting/ejecting a CD. The screen cannot be  
closed if a CD is not completely inserted in the unit.  
• Ensure that it is not during inserting/ejecting the DVD. The screen cannot  
be closed if the DVD is not completely inserted in the unit.  
• Ensure that a PC card is inserted completely. The screen cannot be closed  
if a PC card is not completely inserted in the unit. Moreover, the  
recognition of a PC card takes about 1-2 seconds after it is inserted. The  
screen cannot be closed during this recognition.  
• Ensure that the media clip is inserted into the PC card adaptor. Eject the  
PC card adaptor when not in use.  
Where can I get PC card adaptors or the media chips that go • Any computer store sells PCMCIA PC card adaptors, and various types  
into them?  
and capacities of media chips for them. Ask for Compact Flash or SD  
media and adaptors.  
• Hard Disk Drive type media are not recommended because they can fail in  
a hot car.  
How do I put music files onto the PC Card ?  
You can use your home PC to move MP3 or WMA music files to your PC  
card. Most laptops have a slot to plug in your PC card. For desktop PCs,  
USB adaptors are available that can accept your PC card or media chip.  
Move files to the card like to any other hard drive.  
Navigation System 127  
Frequently Asked Questions  
Problem  
Solution  
I insert a PC card with music files, but the CARD button or  
navigation “PC Card” voice commands do not work. What’s  
wrong?  
• After inserting the card, a delay of up to 30 seconds may be required to  
read the tag information (album, artist, and track names) - this is normal.  
• Ensure that the music files on the media chip are either WMA or MP3  
music format. Other formats are not recognized.  
• Some downloaded WMA and MP3 files are copy protected, and require  
that the copyright authentication files accompany the MP3/WMA files on  
the Card.  
• Media types and capacities continue to grow. As a rule, stick to Compact  
Flash or SD media with capacities of 2GB or less. Other types of media or  
larger capacities may work, but have not been tested.  
• Single-type media PC Card adaptors are recommended over multimedia-  
type adaptors.  
• Ensure that there are files on the card. For SD and other media with a  
write-lock switch, ensure that the write protect is off when adding files to  
the card.  
• The system only recognizes FAT and FAT-32 file format for the media.  
Some of the files on the PC card will not play, or I have an  
eight GB card with 2500 songs, but only 999 play. Why is  
this?  
• The quantity of tracks is limited to 999 tracks and a file structure of up to  
eight folder levels deep. Tracks beyond 999 are simply not recognized.  
• Ensure that the music files on the media chip are either WMA or MP3  
music format. Other formats are not recognized.  
When I eject the media chip but leave the empty adaptor in  
To prevent damage to the display mechanism or your PC card/media chip,  
the PC card slot, the display door will not close. Why is this? the system checks for a partially inserted PC card and a partially inserted  
media chip. Always remove the PC card and media chip when not in use.  
The media card will not fully insert into the PC card slot.  
What is wrong?  
• The PC card edge connector or the pins in the back of PC card slot may be  
damaged.  
• Never force the card into the slot - the adaptor card should glide smoothly  
into the slot. See your dealer if the problem persists.

voice commands do not work. What is wrong?  
before the CD button operates. The system needs to read the tag  
information (album, artist, and track names) to allow searches - this is  
normal.  
• Ensure that the music files on the CD-R are WMA or MP3 format. Other  
formats are not recognized.  
• Some WMA and MP3 files are copy protected, and require that the  
copyright authentication files accompany the MP3/WMA files on the CD.  
Note:  
Never use CD-R discs with stick-on labels. The labels can curl and  
jam the CD mechanism, requiring replacement of the navigation unit  
and subsequent loss of all personal information.  
Rear Camera  
Problem  
Solution  
When I shift gears, the rear camera image is delayed.  
When shifting into or out of reverse, you may experience delays when the  
screen image switches between the navigation screen and the rear camera  
image. This is normal.  
The rear camera image is too dark or too bright. How do I  
adjust the brightness?  
While the camera image is displayed, use the Zoom In/Zoom Out controls to  
adjust the brightness. This adjustment does not affect the Setup screen
