All functions are available when the vehicle is parked. Do the following before driving: • Become familiar with the navigation system operation, hard keys on the faceplate, and touch-sensitive screen buttons of the navigation system. { CAUTION: 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. • Select a destination using various methods and choices. • Follow turn-by-turn route and map guidance with voice prompts, only if permitted by traffic laws, controls, and conditions. You should 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, you must always evaluate whether following the system's directions is safe and legal for the current conditions. 4-5 • Set up the audio by presetting favorite stations, setting the tone, and adjusting the speakers. • Set up the navigation features before beginning driving, such as entering an address or a preset destination. • Set up your phone numbers in advance so they can be called easily with the press of a single button or a single voice command (for navigation systems equipped with phone capability). { CAUTION: 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.
