INCONTROL Touch Navigation System
The navigation system uses the following components:
- Audio Head Unit (AHU)
- Touch Screen (TS)
- Roof pod Global Positioning system (GPS) antenna
- Frequency Modulation 2 (FM2) antenna and antenna amplifier
- Instrument Cluster (IC) message center
- Head Up Display (HUD) - If equipped.
Map information is stored on a Secure Digital (SD) memory card located in the portable audio interface panel. The Audio Head Unit (AHU) reads the map data directly from the SD memory card.
The navigation system has various levels of user control through the Touch Screen (TS) and the voice system. System volume adjustment can be made using the TS and the left steering wheel switchpack.
The InControl Touch navigation system provides audible and visual route guidance information to enable the driver to reach a desired destination. The system allows the driver to choose the route using minor or major roads or highways. The system also allows the driver to select the option of different routes (for example recommended, shortest, fastest, and most economical) according to market specification. Directions to hospitals, museums, monuments and hotels are also available.
There are a number of navigation system variants specific to various markets. On all systems the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal is received by the Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna located in the roof pod.
The European, Russian and North American Specification (NAS) navigation system includes the Traffic Message Channel (TMC) function. TMC traffic information transmissions are received from the Frequency Modulation 2 (FM2) antenna integrated into the rear window. On a pre-selected route, the system will offer re-routing options depending on traffic conditions.
The navigation system is primarily controlled from the Touch Screen (TS) which is located in the center of the instrument panel. Video data transmission is through a single Automotive Pixel Link 2 (APIX2) signal from the AHU to the TS.
Navigation instructions are displayed on the Instrument Cluster (IC) message center.
On vehicles equipped with the Head Up Display (HUD), turn by turn navigation images are displayed to the driver on the windshield. For additional information, Refer to: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
