Welcome to your new Navigation System. The information in
this Owner’s Manual is designed to help you begin using
your system quickly and safely. It contains the following
information to help you become familiar with the system:
• Safety guidelines
• System features
• System limitations
• Detailed descriptions of system menus and controls
Before using the system, please take some time to familiarize
yourself with the information included in this manual.
System Overview
Your navigation system receives GPS signals from up to 8
satellites to display the position and direction of your vehicle.
Map and database information is supplied through a DVD-
ROM. A gyroscope and the vehicle’s speed sensor enable the
system to display the present vehicle position even in loca-
tions where GPS signals may be blocked.
When you input a destination, the navigation system uses
map data from the DVD-ROM to quickly calculate a route.
As you drive along your chosen route, you are guided with
pictorial displays and voice prompts.
System Features
