Frequently Asked Questions
Daylight savings time occurred, but the navigation system did
not change time even though Se tup shows “Auto Daylight” is
“ON.” Go to the
Clock adjustment screen in Setup and select DST Selection.
Ensure that the correct DST schedule is selected. For more information, see
Clock Adjustment on page
99.
The navigation system automatic daylight time feature is not
switching the navigation system clock on the correct dates.
Why is this? 1) Go to the
Clock adjustment screen in Setup and ensure that Auto
Daylight is ON .
2) The navigation system is designed to switch to daylight savings time
according to the months selected in the DST schedule selection screen.
Ensure that the appropriate schedule is selected. For more information,
see Clock Adjustment on page99.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no
apparent reason. Wh at can cause this? 1) You may be driving near
a time zone boundary (see Auto Time Zone on
page
100).
2) The navigation system does not, or incorrectly switches between
standard and Daylight Savings Time. Set Auto Daylight to ON on the
Clock adjustment screen in Setup, and ensu re that the correct month
switching schedule is chosen on the DST schedule selection screen.
See page
100 for more information.
3) Your remotes may not be linked. Fo llow the linking procedure covered in
the main Owner's Manual.
My battery was disconnected, or went dead, and the
navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find this
code? There should have been a card in the
glove box with the anti-theft code for
the navigation/audio system. This card contains the 4-digit security code
and serial number. If you cannot find it, your de aler can help you out.
I speak a language other than English. When will other
languages be available fo r the navigation system? This is being considered
as a future enhancement.
