NAVIGATION (Models with NAVI)
Information on Warnings and Safety
The navigation system uses a built-in GPS receiver to guide you to your destination.
This software dose not transmit the GPS position of your vehicle, and cannot be used
to track the vehicle.
Do not look at the navigation screen if it is not safe to do so. If the driver is operating
the navigation system, we strongly recommend operating the software before you start
driving. Program the route before leaving, and stop your vehicle in a safe place if you
need to change the route.
Follow all road signs and road conditions. If you deviate from the recommended route
while driving, the software updates the route according to your current position.
Navigation System
The navigation system is one of the most technologically advanced vehicle
accessories ever developed. The system receives satellite signals from the Global
Positioning System (GPS) operated by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Using these signals and other vehicle sensors, the system indicates your current
position and assists in locating the desired destination.
The navigation system is designed to select efficient routes from your present starting
location to your destination.
The system is also designed to direct you to a destination that is unfamiliar to you in an
efficient manner.
This system uses Globetech maps.
The calculated routes may not be the shortest, nor the least traffic congested.
Your own personal local knowledge or "short cuts" may at times be faster than the
calculated routes.
The navigation system's database includes Point of Interest categories to allow you to
easily select destinations such as restaurants and hotels.
If a destination is not in the database, you can enter the street address or a major
intersection close to it, and the system will guide you there.
The system will provide both a visual map and audio instructions.
The audio instructions will announce the distance remaining and the direction in which
to turn when approaching an intersection.
These voice instructions will help you keep your eyes on the road and are timed to
provide sufficient time to allow you to maneuver, change lanes, or slow down.
Please be aware that all current vehicle navigation systems have certain limitations
that may affect their ability to perform properly.
The accuracy of the vehicle's position depends on satellite conditions, road
configuration, vehicle condition, or other circumstances.
For more information on the limitations of the system, see page 4-35.
