Navigation System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Sable, 2009 Ford Taurus X, and 2009 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The navigation system is integral to the ACM. The navigation ACM controls the operation of the navigation system and the audio system. The system uses a GPS antenna, a vehicle speed input, and other sensor information to accurately establish the vehicle position. The navigation 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 touch screen button is pressed.
The voice recognition system allows the user to interface with the system without using the touch screen. A microphone located in the interior rear view mirror provides a direct input to the ACM.
