Changing the DVD
NOTE:
The system’s database is stored on a
removable DVD. The system will not
work without the DVD. Ensure the door
remains closed at all times.
1. Remove the DVD while the ignition
switch is in the Accessory (I) position
or in the ON (II) position.
2. Locate the control unit. It is under the front of the driver’s seat.
3. Push the OPEN button. An error
message will display on the screen.
This is normal. 4. Push the Eject button. The DVD will
automatically come out.
5. Pull the DVD straig ht out. Hold the
DVD by the edges. Fingerprints,
scratches, or other contamination on
the playing surface can make the
DVD unreadable.
To install the Navigation DVD, make
sure the white label is facing up. Slide
the DVD into the slot. The DVD is
automatically pulled into the control
unit. Make sure you close the door. NOTE:
 The system will not play movies or
other video/audio discs.
 Never “sneak preview” a newer white labeled DVD in the system
unless you plan to keep it. The system
cannot automatically “revert back”
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
My state does not observe daylight savings time. How do I
turn off this feature? You can turn off this feature. See page
91.
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
91.
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 page91.
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 page
92).
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 page
91 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.
