The Touch Screen Display (TSD) is located in the center of the instrument panel and is the driver control interface for the navigation system. The TSD is connected to the MOST ring and communicates with the other components in the audio/infotainment system.

The TSD communicates with the navigation computer on a dedicated serial link known as Gigabit Video Interface (GVIF) and provides the driver interface and driver display of the navigation system. The TSD processes its own video for system operation but receives the navigation graphics from the navigation computer on the GVIF serial link.

The TSD also provides driver display and control of the audio system, telephone, the rear view camera, the Venture Cam, the Traffic Message Channel and the rear seat entertainment.

The navigation system and other systems are operated by a combination of the physical buttons located on each side of the screen and the 'virtual' buttons displayed on the touch screen. For clarification, the physical buttons are referred to as 'buttons' and the touch screen virtual buttons are referred to as 'icons'.

The TSD is a touch sensitive, 800 X 480 pixels liquid crystal display (LCD) VGA screen which displays in a 15:9 format.

Care should be taken with the TSD to ensure its correct operation:

• The screen should be cleaned with a lightly, water moistened cloth. Do not use chemical agents or domestic products to clean the screen or any part of the surround.
• Only use your finger to operate the touch screen. Ensure you only use one finger to avoid incorrect entries.
• A short light press of the touch screen is sufficient. Excessive pressure can damage the screen.

Refer to the Audio information for details of the harness connectors related to the TSD.
