Getting Started
Before you begin to operate the navigation system, read
this manual thoroughly to become familiar with it and
to understand how the system works.
Driving without distraction is a necessity for a safer
driving experience. See “Defensive Driving” in the Index
of your vehicles owner manual. By taking a few
moments to read this manual and get familiar with the
vehicle’s navigation system, you can use it with less
effort, as well as take advantage of its features. While
your vehicle is parked, program your favorite radio
stations and XM™ channels, if equipped. Set the tone
and balance the way you like them. Then when
driving conditions permit, you can tune to your favorite
stations using the presets and steering wheel controls,
if equipped.
The navigation system allows you to do the following:
•Plan a route with provided turn-by-turn route
and map guidance with voice prompts.
•Select a destination using various methods and
choices.
The information in the system may not always be
complete. Road conditions such as prohibited turns,
detours, and construction zones, change frequently. It is
important to consider whether you can follow the
directions given by the system for the current conditions.
When getting started, you may set the navigation
system to your preference using various options. You
will also need to know how to perform various functions
to begin route guidance. Reference the following
topics for further information:
