System Initialization
GPS Initialization
Depending on the length of time the
battery was disconnected, your system
may require GPS initialization. If it
does, the following screen appears:
If this procedure is not necessary, the
system proceeds directly to the
Disclaimer screen (see page17).
During initialization, the system
searches for all available GPS satellites,
and obtains their orbital information.
During this procedure the vehicle
should be out in th e open with a clear
view of the sky. If the navigation system finds the
satellites properly, this box clears, and
changes to the
Disclaimer screen. If
within ten minutes the system fails to
locate a sufficient number of satellites to
locate your position, the following
screen appears:
After 30 minutes with this screen
displayed, turn off the engine and restart
the car. If you now see the Disclaimer
screen, the GPS initialization is
complete. The green GPS icon should
appear in the upper left corner of the
screen. NOTE:
 The average acquiring time is less
than 10 minutes, but it can take as
long as 45 minutes.
 If the system is still unable to acquire a signal, follow the instructions on
the screen, or contact your local
dealer for assistance.
Map Matching
This part of the initialization matches
the GPS coordinates found above with a
road on the map screen. To perform this
part of the procedure, ensure that the
navigation system is displaying a map,
and drive the vehicle on a mapped road
(a road shown on the map screen). Do
not enter a destina tion at this time.
When the name of the current road you
are driving on appears at the bottom of
the screen, the entire procedure is
complete. Your system is now ready to
use.
Navigation system is unable to acquire
a proper GPS signal.
- Move vehicle to another location.
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Disconnect the battery for 30 minutes
to clear the GPS receiver’s memory.
- Reconnect the battery and follow
the screen prompts.
