Navigation System95
System Initialization
System Initialization
If for any reason, you lose power to the
navigation system (like the battery was
disconnected), the navigation system
will require initialization. Once
completed, your system will be ready to
use.
This initialization requires the
following:
 Entry of the 4-digit anti-theft security code to “unlock” the navigation
system.
 GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the le ngth of time the
system was without power).
 Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map
(displays current street at the bottom
of the map).
Entering the Security Code
If the battery goes dead or is
disconnected for any reason, you will
have to enter a security code for the
navigation system before you can use it
again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you
should have received a card that has the
system’s security code and serial
number. Keep this card in a safe place in
case you need the code. If you lose the
card, you must obtain the security code
from your dealer. Enter the four-digit security code, then
select
Done. If you have entered it
correctly, the display changes to the
Disclaimer screen. If you make a
mistake, the system will display
“incorrect PIN.” Re-enter your 4-digit
security code. You have ten chances to
enter the correct code. If all ten are
incorrect, turn the i gnition to OFF, then
back to ON (II) to have ten more
chances to enter the correct code.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated
to your optional Navigation system PIN
(for Personal or Home Address).

Navigation System97
System Limitations
Although your navigation system is one
of the most highly sophisticated pieces
of equipment you will find in a modern
automobile, you may find during its use,
that it has certain limitations.
The system uses signals from the Global
Positioning System (GPS) to aid in
determining its current location. The
GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies
built into the GPS that the navigation
system must constantly compensate for.
This can cause occasional positioning
errors of up to several hundred feet.
For example, in urban areas where
streets are close together, this could
cause the system to show that you are
traveling on a street that parallels the
street you are actually on. The system
will, under most circumstances, correct
itself while you drive. Also, depending on your current view of
the sky and the position of the satellites,
the elevation may be shown incorrectly.
You may also notice some delay of the
vehicle position icon at intersections;
this is normal.
GPS Reception Issues
The signals received from the GPS
satellites are extremely weak (less than
a millionth of the strength of a local FM
station), and require an unobstructed
view of the sky.
The signal can easily
be interrupted or
interfered with by the following:
 Aftermarket metallic window tint above or to the sides of the GPS
antenna (located under the dash)
 Cell phones, PDA’s, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle
or laying loose on the dash
 Radar detectors mounted on the dash
 Remote starters, or “hidden” vehicle location systems mounted near the
navigation unit
 Other aftermarket audio electronic devices mounted near the navigation
unit  Trees, tall buildings, freeway
overpasses, tunnels or overhead
electrical power wires
Although the system will direct you to
your desired destination, it may not
always generate what you consider to be
the most direct rout e. Try changing the
method of routing (see Changing the
Routing Method on page45). You may
also have Unverified Area Routing set
to “OFF” (see Unverified Area Routing
on page81).
Additionally, the mapping database
contains verified and unverified maps.
See Map Overview on page6.
A disclaimer screen will warn you if
your route includes unverified streets.
Unverified streets may be missing from
the map, in the wrong location, or have
an incorrect name or address range.
Exercise addition al caution when
driving in these unverified areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.

Off Route - This occurs when the user
leaves mapped roads. Off road
tracking dots (“breadcrumbs”) are
displayed if the option is enabled in
the Setup screen. The user can use
them to return to a mapped road. The
bottom of the navigation screen will
say “Not on a digitized road.”
Outlying Areas - These are rural areas
that typically have only their main
roads mapped. All other roads are

only, since they have not been
verified. PC Card -
An adaptor card (sometimes
called a PCMCIA card) that can
contain a compact flash, or SD media
clip with MP3 or WMA music files.
PIN - Personal Identification Number.
A random 4-digit number created by
the customer to protect personal
information.
POI - Point Of Interest. These are the
businesses, schools etc. found under
the Places option on the Enter
destination by screen. See page31.
Polygon - Colored areas on the map
screen denoting parks, schools etc.
See Map Screen Legend “Map
Features” for a list of the assigned

QWERTY - Keyboard layout
resembling the typewriter keys. The
keyboard layout can be changed to an
alphabetical layout in the Setup,
Basic Settings screen.
Reminder - Automatic “pop-up”
Calendar message See Calendar on
page68. Security Code -
Code needed to
activate the navigation system or
audio unit (see Entering the Security
Code on page95).
Secure Digital (SD) Media - These can
be installed into a PCMCIA adaptor
to play MP3 or WMA music files.
Touch Sensor - The touch sensors on
the front of the LCD consists of a
touch sensitive re sistive membrane
with an infinite number of possible
touch locations.
Unverified Streets - These streets have
not been verified for turn restrictions,
one-way, etc. They are shown in light
brown on the map. Unverified streets
may be missing from the map, shown
in the wrong location, or have an
incorrect name or address range.
Vehicle Speed Sensor - Provides speed
signal to the navigation system for
moving the VP icon on the map.
Verified Streets - These streets consist
of the detailed metropolitan coverage
