Route Guidance

The navigation unit can calculate different routes to a selected destination. You have five options:

• Direct Route Calculate a route that is the most direct.

• Easy Route Calculate a route that minimizes the number of turns needed.

• Minimize Freeways Calculate a route that avoids freeway travel. If that is not possible, keep the amount of freeway

travel to a minimum. This is not selectable (button grayed out) for trips greater than 100 miles.

• Minimize Toll Roads Calculate a route that avoids, or minimizes travel on toll roads. This is not selectable (button

grayed out) for trips greater than 100 miles.

• Maximize Freeways Calculate a route that uses freeways as much as possible.

Audio Guidance

The navigation unit transmits audio driving instructions before entering an intersection or passing a junction. The

audio instructions come through the audio unit to the front speakers.

NOTE: The front speakers are muted whenever the navigation system is giving guidance commands, and all of the

speakers when the voice control system is being used.

Muting Signal Logic

The audio muting logic is orchestrated by the audio unit. The audio unit determines what audio source has priority to

use the speakers.

The priority of the audio sources is as follows:

HFL has the highest priority, followed by navigation, and finally the radio/CD-DVD player. The priority is passed by

HFL to the audio unit by dedicated mute wires. The navigation mute signal is passed to the stereo amplifier.

The navigation unit temporarily disables the voice control buttons, but allows guidance to be heard. In addition, the

audio unit suppresses the output from the audio unit, XM receiver, disc player, or other audio accessories.

When the navigation system sends out a voice route guidance command, the audio front speaker is muted, and the

navigation voice is heard in the front speakers.

When the navigation voice control system is in use, all of the speakers are muted, and the navigation voice prompts

are heard from the front speakers.

The navigation system uses the sun's angle, along with the sunlight sensor to control the driver/passenger A/C air

Off Road Tracking (bread-crumbs)

Off road tracking dots that can be followed on the map retrace your route back to a mapped (digitized) road.

Clock and Time Zone

The clock set up allows you to set daylight savings time, auto time zone and time adjustment.
