System Set-up
Correct Vehicle Position
The system relies on satellites for
positioning information. Buildings,
tunnels, and other objects can block or
reflect these signals, requiring the
system to use “dead reckoning” to
determine your location and direction.
This can sometimes lead to small errors
in positioning, such as showing you on
an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle
position is not recommended. When the
system acquires a GPS signal, it will
automatically place the vehicle in the
correct location. If you choose to do this, follow these
steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Select
Adjust, and the system will
display a map adjustment screen.
3. Use the ZOOM buttons and the
joystick to move the location
arrowhead to the correct location.
Touch the arrow buttons on the
bottom of the screen to rotate the
direction arrows so the vehicle
position is pointin g in the correct
direction. NOTE:
If you continually have to do this, there
are either problems in the database or
GPS reception problems. See
Accessories Precautions
on page
5 .
4. When you have finished, press the joystick or select Done to return to
the previous screen.
5. As you drive, the current road will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Clock Adjustment
From the Setup screen (second), say or
select Clock Adjustment and the
following screen appears:
This screen allows you to set or adjust
the following:
 Auto Daylight Savings Time (Default = On)
 Auto Time Zone by GPS (Default = On)
 DST (Daylight Savings Time) Selection
(Change DST schedule)
 Time Adjustment (Adjust your clock)
 Reset button (resets this screen’s
settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight Saving Time
Sets automatic daylight saving time On
or Off . If set to On, the navi clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
behind” by one hour when a daylight
savings time change occurs. If you
reside in a state or area where daylight
saving time is not used, then you may
want to turn this feature off.
NOTE:
If you set Auto Daylight Saving Time to On, the Daylight Saving Time function
is activated even in an area that does not
adopt the Daylight Saving Time system.
The federal government has mandated
that, starting in 2007, daylight savings
time will change in March & November
instead of the old schedule in April &
October. The new government daylight
savings time schedule is subject to
review and possible cancellation in
2008. The dates that the navi switches between
standard and daylight savings time are
not triggered by GPS satellite signals.
They are stored in the navi software and
can be selected in the
DST schedule
selection screen. Therefore your navi
clock will change based on the daylight
savings time schedule.

System Set-up
Rear View Camera
Your vehicle is equipped with a rear
view camera as shown in the
illustration.
Whenever you shift to R (Reverse) with
the ignition switch in the ON (II)
position, the rear view is shown on the
navigation system screen. For the best
image, always keep the rear view
camera lens clean, and be sure it is not
covered.
Since the rear view camera display area
is limited, you should always back up
slowly and carefully, and look behind
you for obstacles.
Rear View Camera Brightness
Adjustment
When in reverse, the touch screen, and
Navi “hard” buttons are locked out,
except the ZOOM buttons. Touching
the “ ” or “ ” button allows you to
adjust the brightness of the rear view
camera image. This brightness
adjustment is independent of the screen
brightness adjustment in Setup.
NOTE:
 The camera brightness cannot be adjusted by voice control.
 Slight delays can occur when switching to the ca mera image, or
switching back to the map/menu
screen. This is normal.

automatically pulled into the control
unit. Make sure you close the door. NOTE:

to a prior version DVD. If you must
revert to a previous version DVD
after loading a newer version see
your dealer for assistance.
 If you see the error message “Navigation unit door is open… ,”
close the door. The system will
reboot. This is normal.

Frequently Asked Questions
When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch
to the night display mode. Why? The system thinks it’s in
Day display mode. Verify the following: The
display mode in Setup is set to Auto, the dash brightness is not set to
maximum (must adjust with the headlights on), and Map Color in Setup is
set to Black for Night. See Display on page
78.
The daytime map screen is dark like the night display mode,
and it is hard to see. Why? Verify the following: The disp
lay mode in Setup is set to Auto, and Map
Color in Setup is set to White for Day. See Display on page
78.
During the day, I turned on the lights because it started to
rain, but the screen went dark. How can I make it still display
day mode? Adjust the dash brightness (with the he
adlights on) to full bright. Remember
to set it back to a medium setting, or at night, the screen will be bright. See
Display on page
78.
How can I input my destination using map coordinates? The navigation system was not designed for this. However, you can view
the coordinates of an address by touching the vehicle position icon on the
map. See Map Screen Legend on page
52.
How do I change or remove my PIN? Go to “Personal Information” in the Setup screen (second) , and select PIN
Number . Select User 1 or User 2 and enter your existing PIN. You then
have the choice to change or remove the PIN. See page
84.
I forget the PIN for Home, or the PIN for personal addresses
(User 1 or User 2). How do I reset it? PINs are optional. See information re
garding PINs on page
84. Your dealer
can reset the PIN for you.
CALL is not available on the Calculate route to screen.
Why? This function is availabl
e only for the Touring mode l. If your vehicle is the
Touring model, your phone is not “paire d” to the HFL, or if your phone is
