Navigation System Operation: Notes
The following instructions are for basic navigation system operation. There have been numerous changes to navigation systems since introduction. Always refer to the latest owners manual and service bulletins when applicable.
The following example uses the rotary knob to input a destination from the input destination screen. Enter the navigation system by pressing the GPS-Navigation button from the main menu.
After acknowledging the system warning, any previously entered destination is displayed. This destination must be deleted or overwritten in order to input a new destination.
The rotary knob is used to enter a city/town from an Alpha-Numeric menu or the destination can be selected from the index of listed locations that are mapped on the CD.
Next the desired street is entered in the same fashion. The street number can also be entered at this time. If the street number is on the database CD, the navigation system will guide the driver directly to the house number.
There are two choices for route preference available from this screen:
- "most use of highways"
- "least use of highways"
With either selection, the system will pick the most direct route to the destination, based on the selection. Once the location has been entered, the navigation system is ready for guidance. Press the directions button.
The system will guide the driver via:
- The graphical direction display - which consist of arrows and text that show the current location, the destination and direction of travel. When turns or intersections approach, a voice command will inform the driver when to turn.
- The graphical map display - which consists of a digital road map showing the entered route, destination and vehicle position.
In either display mode a voice command will inform the driver when to turn when turns or intersections approach.
The navigation screen display can be turned OFF (from main menu) and the system will remain in operation. The voice command will continue to inform the driver when to turn.
