System Characteristics

^ The 2002 AVN system utilizes voice recognition capabilities in English language. This allows the user to provide voice commands to the system that previously required the use of either a hard or soft key input.

^ With voice recognition, regional accent characteristics may have an impact on the system's performance.

^ For AVN, the single DVD is loaded by tilting the screen forward. This allows the loading to take place inside the vehicle vs. opening the trunk to load the respective CD as was done in the previous NAV system.

^ Since the system has a DVD reader, users can also watch DVD movies in the vehicle. The gear selector must be in the PARK position in order to view DVD movies.

^ The GPS indicator for the AVN system is opposite of the prior NAV system. For NAV, if the system was receiving an adequate GPS signal, the GPS logo would appear on the screen. The AVN system only displays a GPS logo if the signal IS NOT RECEIVED.

^ Since the radio is incorporated into a single navigation unit, the Theftlock(R) feature used for the radios is also used for AVN.

^ The AVN screen has 2D and 3D capability. The NAV system only had 2D capability.
