Clock Adjustment
From the SET UP screen (Other), say
or select Clock Adjustment and the
following screen appears:
This screen allows you to set or adjust
the following:
• Auto Daylight (Default = ON)
• Auto Time Zone (Default = ON)
• Adjust Time (adjust your clock)
• Reset (resets this screen’s settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight
Sets automatic daylight saving time ON
or OFF . If set to ON, the clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
behind” by one hour when a daylight
saving time change occurs.
NOTE:
Even if you have set Auto Daylight to
ON , this function is not activated in
areas that do not adopt daylight saving
time.
The federal government mandated that
starting in 2007, daylight saving time
begins in March and ends in November
instead of the old schedule in April
to October. This schedule is subject
to review and possible cancellation in
2008-2009. The schedules for the time changes are
stored in the software, therefore your
clock will change based on the daylight
saving time schedule selected.

Auto Time Zone
Sets automatic time zone selection by
GPS to ON or OFF. If you are driving
across the country and passing through
time zones, then this feature will
automatically set the time to the time
zone you are traveling through.
However, if you live and work in two
different time zones, you may want to

From the SET UP screen (Other), say
or select Vehicle and the following
screen appears:

provide white off-road tracking dots
(“breadcrumbs”) on the map screen
whenever you drive into an area where
the map does not show any roads. See
Map Screen Legend on page 20 .
2009 TL

System Setup
Navigation System113
After you have traveled approximately
1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the
system will display a series of white
dots on the map screen to show the
path you have traveled. This is provided
so you can follow the dots to backtrack
to the mapped road you originally left.
Tracking continues until you reach a
mapped road. See Off-road Tracking on
page 70 .
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile scales, or the 80, 200,
400, and 800 meter scales. Rotate the
Interface Dial knob to change the
scale if necessary.
NOTE:
To clear existing dots, turn this feature
OFF and exit SET UP. To re-enable
this feature, return to SET UP and turn
it on again. Correct Vehicle Position
The system relies on satellites for
positioning information. Buildings,
tunnels, and other objects can block
or refl ect 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
Correct Vehicle Position ,
and the system will display a
Correct vehicle position screen.
3. Use the Interface Dial to move the
vehicle position arrowhead to the
correct location, and push in on the
Interface Dial . The display will
change to:

Database Limitations
126 Navigation System
You will fi nd that some points of
interest (POI) may be missing when you
search the database. This can be caused
if at the time the database was gathered,
the name was misspelled, the place
was improperly categorized, or the POI
change is not yet in the database. This
means you may not fi nd places listed
that you know exist. This is also true
for police agencies and hospitals. In
outlying areas, facilities listed may not
be the closest. Always check with local
information sources if you need law
enforcement or hospital services.
Every effort has been made to verify
that the system’s database was accurate
at the time it was created. However,
businesses do close or relocate, and new
businesses start in the old locations.
For this reason, you may occasionally
fi nd inaccurate information when you
select and drive to a point of interest
(for example, a restaurant is now a
jewelry store). The number of these
inaccuracies increases the longer you go
without an update. The digitized map database refl
ects
conditions as they existed at various
points in time before production.
Accordingly, your database may contain
inaccurate or incomplete data or
information due to the passage of time,
road construction, changing conditions,
or other causes.
Due to ongoing software and database
improvements, navigation software and
mapping versions versions may change
in the middle of a production year. The
version shipped with your vehicle was
the most recent available at the time of
production and is considered standard
equipment for that vehicle. There is no
free program to retrofi t early production
vehicles with the latest software and
mapping versions. For update DVD
ordering information, see page 129 . In addition, this database does not
include, analyze, process, consider, or
refl
ect any of the following categories
of information:
• Neighborhood quality or safety
• Population density
• Availability or proximity of law enforcement
• Emergency, rescue, medical, or other assistance
• Construction work, zones, or hazards
• Road and lane closures
• Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, load, height, and speed
restrictions)
• Road slope or grade
• Bridge height, width, weight, or other limits
