SmartNav, the proprietary navigation and infotainment system from Peterbilt Motors Co., now features expanded audio controls and ten new virtual gauges. “SmartNav is designed specifically for the trucking industry, providing drivers with vehicle operational information, and navigation and infotainment features,” said Bill Kozek, Peterbilt general manager and vice president. “These new features expand its capabilities and bring more information and value to the operator.”

SmartNav features a high-resolution, glove-friendly and scratch-resistant touch screen that allows drivers to easily operate the system. User interface capabilities and vehicle interface read-outs include audible and visual alerts and notifications, Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming, vehicle diagnostics, and multiple entertainment options.

Expanded capabilities of SmartNav include dead reckoning, which helps maintain the truck’s location when positioned in areas where the satellite signal is blocked, such as tunnels and urban environments, and increased availability of typical audio functions while in motion. Standard are engine oil and transmission temperature virtual gauges. Optional gauges include Air Filter Restriction, Fuel Filter Restriction, Suspension Load Pressure, Brake Application Pressure, Front and Rear Axle Oil Temperature, and an Ammeter.
