Limited GPS reception
System performance may be adversely affected if GPS reception is
interrupted or interference occurs over a distance of several miles. The
following are possible causes for GPS reception being interrupted. If the
vehicle is:
• in multi-story parking garages
• in tunnels and under bridges
• inside or in between buildings
• by forests or tree-lined avenues
• in heavy rain showers and thunderstorms
• in valleys and in mountainous regions
• roads under cliffs
Ensure that you do not have any metal objects on the rear parcel shelf.
If your windows are tinted, ensure that you use non-metal tinting instead
of metal oxide tinting. Both of these factors can interrupt GPS reception.
Cleaning the display
Do not spray cleaning fluid directly onto the unit. Instead, spray onto a
soft cloth and gently wipe the unit. Only recommended products should
be used.
• Recommended products- Rubbing alcohol based cleaner (i.e., methyl
alcohol) or a damp clean cloth.
• Not harmful but not recommended- ammonia cleaner, neutral
detergent.
• Harmful to system and not recommended- acid cleaner, alkali cleaner,
benzene cleaner.
Do not clean any part of the system with benzene, paint thinner or any
other solvent.
Do not spill liquids of any kind onto the unit.
Loading the map DVD
• Your navigation DVD unit is located in the front lower center stack
area by the passenger ’ s feet (access door).
• Ensure that the vehicle ignition is ON.
• If a DVD is already loaded in the Navigation unit, push the eject
button.
• Load the DVD with the printed side up. Do not allow moisture or
foreign objects to enter the slot.

cool the vehicle. Press to turn on/off
in all modes except or .
2. Recirculation control: Used to
manually enable or disable the
operation of recirculated air in all
modes except Defrost. Cools the vehicle more quickly by recirculating
the cabin air instead of using outside air and helps prevent unpleasant
outside odors or fumes from entering the vehicle. In automatic operation,
the recirculated air operates automatically as necessary to achieve the
selected temperature.
3. Passenger side temperature
control: Controls the temperature
on the passenger side of the vehicle
when in dual zone mode. To enter
dual zone, press the passenger temperature control or DUAL. The
passenger temperature will appear in the display.

Compass display
The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic
or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also affect
compass accuracy.
Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will
correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual
calibration may be necessary. Refer to Compass zone/calibration
adjustment.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
