Navigation System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The navigation system guides the user to a pre-entered destination. No navigation map DVD is needed, as the map guidance information is stored in the ACM. The ACM calculates route information based on GPS data. The GPS antenna tracks several satellites simultaneously. The ACM uses vehicle speed and transmission gear selected signals received through the MS-CAN to detect vehicle speed and direction, resulting in more accurate navigation tracking.

The navigation display is shown on the FDIM. Either the FDIM touchscreen or the buttons on the FCIM can be used to interact with the navigation system.

The compass heading is derived from the GPS antenna signal. There are no serviceable parts for the compass.

A voice recognition system allows the user to interface with the system without using the touchscreen. A microphone provides a direct input to the ACM. The microphone is shared with the SYNC® system, if equipped.

If equipped with a rear view camera, the video feed for the camera is provided by the rear view camera while the vehicle is in REVERSE. REFER to PARKING AID for information on the rear view camera.
