Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
Problem Solution
The navi does not route me the same way I would go, or the
way some other mapping progr am displays. Why is this? The navigation system attempts to
generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Routing Method on page44.
Why is the street I’m on not s hown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year. The mapping database is
constantly undergoing revision. See page112 for
ways to obtain the latest de tailed coverage information.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road and the
“GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is
white or missing.  The GPS antenna (located under the
center of the rear shelf) may be
blocked by personal items. For best re ception, remove items from the rear
shelf, such as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
 Metallic tinting or other after-marke t devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on page97.
I entered a destination, but th e blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/purple dashed
line before I got to my destination. Why is this? Your route has entered
an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page82.
The map rotates while I make a turns, Ho w can I stop this? Select the “North-up” ma p orientation by voice, or by touching the map
orientation icon on the map screen. See Map Orientation on page53.
Sometimes I cannot select between the North-up, and
Heading-up map orientations, why is this? The “Heading-up” map orientation can
only be shown in the lower scales
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page52.
While driving to my destinati on, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases even though I am getting closer. The “Time to go” is based on actual
road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based of your actual spee d to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short distance
behind especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong? No, when at an intersection, the syst
em is unaware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences is vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page97.

Frequently Asked Questions

Miscellaneous Other Questions
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

Frequently Asked Questions
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 by
GPS on page93).
2) The navigation system does not, or incorrectly switches between
standard and Daylight Savings Time. Set Auto Daylight Saving Time
to On on the Clock adjustment screen in Setup, and ensure that the
correct month switching sc hedule is chosen on the DST schedule
selection screen. See page92 for more information.
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.
