Information and Entertainment System: Navigation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The navigation system is integral to the ACM. The ACM controls the operation of the navigation system and the audio system. The system uses a global positioning system (GPS) antenna, a vehicle speed input, and other sensor information to accurately establish the vehicle position. The ACM provides the visual and audible instructions of the maneuvers required to arrive at the pre-entered destination. An audible switch feedback is provided to confirm if an ACM button or a screen button is pressed. The audible switch feedback can be set to ALL, TOUCH SCREEN, or NONE depending on user preference.

For Hybrid vehicles, the navigation ACM also displays energy flow graphics on a separate tab, depicting the approximate amount of base engine versus electric power distribution.
