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.
