Basic Navigation

Operation

A real-time navigation system uses GPS and a map database to show your current location and help guide you to a desired destination. You can operate the system using voice commands or the system controls.

To reduce the potential for driver distraction, certain manual functions may be inoperable or grayed out while the vehicle is moving. Voice commands are always available.

Steering Wheel Controls

Talk button: Press to say navigation commands from the Voice Portal screen.

Back button: Press to cancel a command or operation.

Talk Button Tips

For a full list of navigation voice commands, see "Voice Command Index" section.

  • When using the Talk button, wait for the beep before saying a command.
  • To bypass the system prompts, simply press the Talk button again to say your command.
  • Speak in a clear, natural voice.
  • Reduce all background noise.
  • Adjust the dashboard and side vents away from the microphone in the ceiling.
