Audio And Video - Operation






OPERATION

AUDIO SYSTEM

The audio system components are designed to provide audio entertainment and information through the reception, tuning and amplification of locally broadcast radio signals in both the Amplitude Modulating (AM) and Frequency Modulating (FM) commercial frequency ranges.

The audio system components operate on battery current received through a fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on a fused ignition switch output (RUN-ACC) circuit so that the system will only operate when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCESSORY positions.

NAVIGATION

The available navigation radio system receives GPS signals from up to eight satellites to display the position and direction of the vehicle. Map information is supplied through a DVD-ROM. An electronic gyro-sensor and the vehicle's speed sensor enable the system to display the present vehicle position even in locations where GPS signals may be blocked, however system performance will be degraded.

When a destination is selected, the navigation system uses information from the map to quickly calculate a route. As the vehicle is driven along the chosen route, the operator is guided with pictorial displays and voice prompts. The navigation system will also reroute the user if a turn is missed. For complete operating instructions, refer to the manual included with the vehicle.

SATELLITE RADIO

The available satellite radio system is a subscription based service. Information sent by satellite is transmitted to the roof mounted antenna, then to the satellite receiver integrated in the radio. The operator then has the choice of multiple music/information channels.

SATELLITE STREAMING VIDEO

The available satellite streaming video is a subscription based service. The satellite streaming video requires satellite radio and rear seat entertainment system to function. Additional components include a satellite video module located in the upper left D Pillar and an additional antenna mounted front center roof. Information sent by satellite is transmitted to both roof mounted antenna to the video module, then to the radio to be displayed on the radio and video screens. Streaming video can be displayed on the radio display with the vehicle in park only.
