Getting Started - Cadillac Escalade Manual

Getting Started

Before you begin to operate the navigation system, read
this manual thoroughly to become familiar with it and to
understand how the system works.
Keeping your mind on the drive is important for safe
driving. See "Defensive Driving" in the Index of your
vehicle's owner manual for more information. Get familiar
with your vehicle's navigation system so you can use
it with less effort and take full advantage of its features.
Your navigation system includes not only navigation,
but also audio functions. While your vehicle is parked:
•
Familiarize yourself with all of its controls: hard keys
on the faceplate and touch-sensitive screen buttons.
•
Familiarize yourself with its operation.
•
Set up your audio by presetting your favorite stations,
setting the tone, and adjusting the speakers. Then,
when driving conditions permit, you can tune to your
favorite stations using the presets and steering wheel
controls (if equipped).
•
Set up the navigation features that can only be
done before you begin driving, such as entering
an address or a preset destination.
1-4
Entering a destination or alphanumeric text requires
many steps, so you can only perform these operations
when the vehicle is in PARK (P). You will notice
that touch-sensitive screen buttons leading to the
alphanumeric keyboard are dimmed out while driving.
Other functions may also be locked out while driving and
they too will appear grayed out on the screen — but all
functions are available when parked. Some functions
can be performed while driving, as long as you can do
so without diverting too much of your attention from your
driving.
CAUTION:
{
This system provides you with a far greater
access to audio stations and song listings.
Giving extended attention to entertainment
tasks while driving can cause a crash and you
or others can be injured or killed. Always keep
your eyes on the road and your mind on the
drive — avoid engaging in extended searching
while driving.
