E Movie listings: Showtimes, ratings and locations. Most Frequently Asked Questions My home address is not on the map, is my navigation system broken? There are several possible reasons why you may not be able to find your home address: 1) The map that is included with your system contains the most recent data available at the time of yearly production. However, there are situations when some home addresses may not be in the database yet (i.e. newly developed neighborhoods, homes located off dirt or country roads, etc.). 2) The road has not been physically verified yet. 3) You are not entering the street name correctly. It is not necessary to enter the prefix or suffix to any street name. For example, “East Main Street” can simply be entered as “Main”. Go to www.navteq.com to report map errors and click on Map Reporter When the car is moving, I can’t enter information into the system. Why not? A safety feature makes certain tasks unavailable while the car is in motion. Refer to the Navigation Supplement for a list of specific tasks that are unavailable when driving. How accurate is my SIRIUS® real-time traffic (if subscribed)? SIRIUS® Traffic service (if subscribed) primarily covers the freeways and interstates in the most populated metropolitan areas in the continental United States. Traffic service delivers the best information available from departments of transportation, police and emergency services, traffic sensors, cameras and airborne reports to your navigation system. This includes: • Traffic flow or the actual speed traffic is moving along a road segment (where available). • Locations of unscheduled traffic disruptions caused by such things as accidents, disabled vehicles and bad weather. • Locations of scheduled traffic disruptions such as construction and road closures. For a list of coverage information visit www.sirius.com What is the warranty on my navigation system? The navigation system warranty is covered by the same warranty as the rest of your vehicle. Refer to your Navigation Supplement for more information.

Navigate by using Voice Recognition Your system has an advanced interactive voice recognition (VR) system which allows you to perform certain tasks by speaking commands. There is no need to memorize system voice commands as the system can display “read” available commands. Voice commands are listed in the system’s Help Menu, throughout the Navigation Supplement and can be heard by saying “Help” during an active voice session. The “Voice Control” tab at the bottom of the menu screen allows you to enter voice enhancement mode. This mode eliminates the need to say “USB” or “User Device” before any SYNC® media commands. Voice recognition system Quick Start Voice recognition user profile You can ‘train’ the system to better recognize your voice. Two profiles can be created. Refer to the Voice Recognition section for more information.

To access: 1) Press the MENU hard button on the navigation system. 2) Select the ‘Feedback Settings’ tab on the touchscreen. 3) Select ‘Edit’. 4) Select ‘Create’ to create either Profile 1 or Profile 2. 5) Follow the voice prompt instructions.
