Problem Solution
The display appears dim when starting the car in real cold
weather. Is there a problem? No, this is normal, and will beco
me brighter after a few minutes.
Problem Solution
My clock frequently changes forward and backward by one
hour. Why is this? The clock is being auto
matically set based on your GPS location. If you live
and work on the boundary between two time zones, you can turn off this
feature. See page
93.
When driving near a time zone border, the time changes even
though I am not near the time zone. Why is this? The time zone borders are only appr
oximated in the system. Depending on
the geography of the time zone boundary, the switch to a different zone can
be erratic. See page
93.
My state does not observe dayl ight savings time. How do I
turn off this feature? You can turn off this feature. See page
92.
Daylight savings time occurred, but the navigation system did
not change time even though Setup shows “Auto Daylight
Saving Time” 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
92.
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 Saving Time 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 page92
