This section includes basic information about the map database.

The maps are stored on a DVD-ROM. The 48 contiguous Unites States, Hawaii, and portions of Canada are contained on one disc.

Refer to the "Navigation System Map Disc" manual to view the explanation of map coverage. The map disc manual will be in the map DVD case when the vehicle is delivered from the factory.

When your vehicle is delivered from the factory, the dealer may have installed the map DVD. If the DVD was not installed, do the following:

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. If a audio or video disc is loaded, eject it.
3. Insert the DVD map disc into the single player slot, located at the top of the navigation system, partway. The system will pull it in.

The six-disc CD changer will not read the DVD map disc.

Once the map DVD is inserted correctly, you will have the following two choices:

English is the default language, or you can choose to select French or Spanish at this time. See "Language" under Setup Menu for more information.

You may also select Agree to agree that you have read the screen. The map information will load and display on the screen. The map will appear with your current vehicle position on the map.

If your current vehicle position is incorrect on the map, see "Vehicle Position" under Setup Menu .

When the DVD map disc is not loaded, you will not be able to use the navigation portion of the system.

The system allows you to adjust the scale of view on the map. The map will scroll automatically based on the direction you are traveling.

To view a larger or smaller scale of the map, press the reconfigurable soft key next to the zoom in or zoom out prompts. See "Hard Keys" under Using the Navigation System for more information.

The scale of a map can range from 1/64 of a mile (0.025 km) to 80 miles (128 km).
