1. If the vehicle is located in a parking garage, tunnel, or an area where there are tall
buildings or large trucks, those obstructions may be interfering with the GPS signal.
Once the vehicle moves out of this area, the GPS signal should work.
2. If there are objects placed on top of the instrument panel, these may be interfering
with the GPS receiver. Remove any objects from the dashboard.
3. After-market glass tinting will interfere with the system’s ability to receive GPS
signals and cause the system to malfunction. Customers might have to replace the
window to correct the problem. This would NOT be covered by their warranty.
4. You may not be able to receive a GPS signal if the satellites are being repaired or
improved.
If the vehicle is not in the correct position on the map, see the instructions for
recalibrating the vehicle.
