Navigation System: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
NAVIGATION
A optional navigation radio (RB4) is available on this vehicle. The navigation system allows the user to input addresses, points of interest or way points
to plan a route to the desired location. The system will provide audible and visual prompts that will direct the user along the desired route. Any variances
in the route will cause the navigation system to automatically recalculate the route. The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) displays
turn-by-turn directions to a programmed destination when Turn by Turn Navigation is enabled through Personal Settings. When enabled, the EVIC
displays the name of the approaching road at the top of the screen, followed by an arrow to indicate the direction to turn the vehicle, and a count down to
indicate the distance to the turn.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS
The hands-free cellular system on this vehicle uses Bluetooth(TM) technology to provide wireless communication between the operator's compatible
cellular telephone and the vehicle's on-board receiver.
The system uses voice recognition technology to control operation. The incoming voice is broadcast through the vehicle's radio speakers, automatically
overriding any other audio signals on the front speakers when the hands-free system is in use. A microphone in the rearview mirror picks up vehicle
occupant's voices. If a call is in progress when the ignition is switched off, the hands-free system will continue to operate for up to 45 seconds as part of
the Accessory Relay Delay function. Thereafter, the call can continue on the hand-held telephone.
The system will communicate with a telephone that is anywhere within the vehicle. However, covering the hand held phone or the hands-free phone
module with a metal object may block the signal. The system will recognize up to seven telephones, each of which is given a spoken identification by the
user during the setup process. The system includes Spanish and French voice recognition in addition to English.
Two buttons on the rearview mirror, identified with ISO icons, control the system: A "phone" button turns the system on and off; a "voice recognition"
(or voice command) button prompts the hands-free system to listen for a voice command.
