Frequently Asked Questions
When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch
to the night display mode. Why? The system thinks it is in
Day display mode. Verify the following: The
display mode in Setup is set to Night mode, the dash brightness is not set to
maximum (must adjust with headlights on), and Map Color in Setup is set
to Black for Night. See Switching Display Mode on page104.
The daytime map screen is dark like the night display mode,
and it is hard to see. Why? Verify the following: The disp
lay mode in Setup is set to Day mode, and
Map Color in Setup is set to White for Day. See Switching Display Mode
on page104.
During the day, I turned on the lights because it started to
rain, but the screen went dark. How can I make it still display
day mode? Adjust the dash brightness (+) knob (with
headlights on) to full brightness.
Remember to set it back to a medium set ting, or at night, the screen will be
bright. See Switching Display Mode on page104.
How can I input my destination using map coordinates? The navigation system was not designed for this. However, you can view
the coordinates of an a ddress by pushing in on the Interface Dial, selecting
Show Icon on Map , and moving the Interface Dial left to select
Current Location . See Displaying Current Location on page21.
How do I change or remove my PIN? Go to “Personal Information” in the Setup screen (second) , and select PIN
Number . Enter your existing PIN, and then you have the choice to change
or remove the PIN. See page88.
I forget the PIN. How do I reset it? PI Ns are optional. See information regarding PINs on page88. Your dealer
can reset the PIN for you.
I change my setup settings, bu t they are not saved when I
restart the vehicle. Verify that your Remote Keyless
Entry is linked (The MID shows
“Welcome drive 1” or “Welcome dr iver 2”). See page18 for additional
information.
I cannot access my Calendar or Address Book. Why?
CALL is not available on the Calculate route to screen.
Why? Your phone is not “paired” to the HFL,
