Navigation

Using the Navigation System Read this section thoroughly to become familiar with how the navigation system operates. Keeping your eyes on the road and your mind on driving is important for safe driving. The navigation system has built-in features intended to help do this. Some features may be disabled while driving. A grayed-out function indicates it is not available when the vehicle is moving. All functions are available when the vehicle is parked. Do the following before driving: . Become familiar with the

navigation system operation, buttons on the faceplate, and touch-sensitive screen buttons of the navigation system.

Chevrolet Volt Owner Manual - 2011

Black plate (37,1)

. Set up the audio by presetting

favorite stations, setting the tone, and adjusting the speakers.

. Set up the navigation features before beginning to drive, such as entering an address or a preset destination. For vehicles equipped with phone capability, set up phone numbers in advance so they can be called with the press of a single button or a single voice command.

{ WARNING

Taking your eyes off the road too long or too often while using the navigation system could cause a crash resulting in injury or death to you or others. Focus your attention on driving.

{ WARNING

Avoid looking too long or too often at the moving map on the navigation screen. This could cause a crash and you or others can be injured or killed. Use the turn-by-turn voice guidance directions whenever possible.

Use the navigation system to: . Plan a route by selecting a

destination using the various methods and choices. Follow turn-by-turn instructions and map guidance with voice prompts, when permitted by traffic laws, controls, and conditions.

. Receive RDS broadcast

announcements.

Infotainment System 7-37

Always be alert and obey traffic and roadway laws and instructions, regardless of the guidance from the navigation system. Because the navigation system uses street map information that does not include all traffic restrictions or the latest road changes, it may suggest using a road that is now closed for construction or a turn that is prohibited by signs at the intersection. Because the system uses limited information, always evaluate whether following the system's directions is safe and legal for the current conditions. Use the buttons on the navigation system and the available screen buttons on the navigation screen to operate the system. See Overview on page 7‑2. Various functions are disabled when the vehicle is moving.
