If a name does not display after entry, it may need to be entered differently or the map DVD disc may not contain that information. See Database Coverage Explanations on page 4-62 for more information.

Maps This section includes basic information that you need to know about the map database. The maps are stored on a DVD. The United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico are contained on one disc. Detailed Areas Road network attributes are contained in the map database for detailed areas. Attributes include information such as street names, street address, turn restrictions, etc. A detailed area includes all major highways, service roads, and residential roads. The detailed areas include points of interest (POI) such as: restaurants, airports, banks, hospitals, police stations, gas stations, tourist attractions, historical monuments, etc. The map database may not include data for newly constructed areas or map database corrections that are completed after the production of the disc. The navigation system provides full route guidance in the detailed map areas.

4-15

Limited Guidance Areas Any area that is not classified as detailed, is a limited guidance area. Limited guidance streets are displayed on the map but route guidance may not be given on these streets. Some POI categories, such as the city center POI category, and some street addresses are included in the limited guidance areas. The navigation system informs through voice prompts when you are traveling into a limited guidance area where route guidance is not available. The street maps and the directional arrow displayed on the navigation system can then be used to determine the remaining route to your destination. Installing the DVD Map Disc When a DVD Map Disc is installed, noise from the disc may occur, this is normal system operation. The navigation system in this vehicle uses a DVD to store map information. When the system loads data from the disc, you may hear a very slight buzz sound from the

navigation system. The sound is similar to that of a CD player seeking through different tracks. This is normal operation and may occur more frequently with the use of XM NavTraffic. Your dealer/retailer may have installed the map DVD. If the map DVD was not installed, do the following to load it: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Press the O (power) knob to turn the navigation

system on or press the NAV, DEST, or MENU hard keys. If the MENU hard key is selected, press and hold until the NAV screen is active, or select the NAV tab manually.

3. Load the map DVD partway into the slot located just below the screen. The system will pull it in.

4. Touch the OK screen button to agree to the Caution

screen, if it appears. If the map is in split screen mode, you must push the NAV tab button to get the full map screen.

(cid:129) Do not use the disc to rest on while writing or

drawing using any writing utensil or attach a seal to any of the sides or the disc.

(cid:129) Do not keep the disc in direct sunlight, high

temperatures, or humidity.

Global Positioning System (GPS) The navigation system determines the position of the vehicle by using satellite signals, various vehicle signals, and map data. At times, other interferences such as the satellite condition, road configuration, the condition of the vehicle and/or other circumstances can interfere with the navigation system’s ability to determine the accurate position of the vehicle. The GPS shows the current position of the vehicle using signals sent by the GPS Satellites of the United States Department of Defense. When the vehicle is not receiving signals from the satellites, a symbol appears on the map screen. Refer to Symbols on page 4-19.

This system may not be available or interferences may occur if any of the following are true: (cid:129) Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees, large

trucks, or a tunnel.

(cid:129) Objects are located on the front dash of the vehicle. (cid:129) Satellites are being repaired or improved. (cid:129) After-market glass tinting has been applied to the

vehicle’s windshield.

Notice: Do not apply after-market glass tinting to the vehicle’s windows. Glass tinting interferes with the system’s ability to receive GPS signals and causes the system to malfunction. The window might have to be replaced to correct the problem. This would not be covered by the warranty. For more information if the GPS is not functioning properly, see If the System Needs Service on page 4-61
and Problems with Route Guidance on page 4-61.
