Navigation/Telecommunication - (Service Information) - 500E: Description: Navigation

This vehicle is available with a deluxe version of the Bluetooth™ Hands Free Phone system that also includes an auxiliary port designed to accept a mounting cradle that supports a TomTom® Portable Navigation Device (PND). This navigation feature is also known as the Blue&Me™ Maps system. The TomTom® PND is a satellite navigation system based upon the Global Positioning System (GPS) and includes a color electronic display. The cradle serves as a mount and charging station for the TomTom® PND that is connected directly to the electrical system in the vehicle through the auxiliary port located on the top of the instrument panel just inboard from the Instrument Cluster (IC) (also known as the Instrument Panel Cluster/IPC).

This navigation system provides visual guidance through dynamic maps, while voice prompts through the audio system of the vehicle provide the vehicle operator with audible alerts and directions coordinated with the visual displays. Like the Bluetooth™ Hands Free Phone system, this available navigation system allows hands free use of the system using either voice commands or controls on the steering wheel. The TomTom® PND and the Convergence Telematics Module (CTM) employ wireless communication via Bluetooth™.

The navigation system components cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any of the navigation system components is damaged or ineffective, that component must be replaced.
