Clock Settings
From the Setup screen (second), say or
select Clock Settings and the
following screen appears:
Clock Adjustment
When you select Clock Adjustment ,
the following screen appears: This screen allows you to set or adjust
the following:
 Auto Daylight Saving Time
(Default = On)
 Auto Time Zone by GPS (Default = On)
 DST (Daylight Saving 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 clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
back” by one hour when a daylight
saving 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 Daylig
ht Saving Time to
On , the daylight savi ng time function is
activated even in an area that does not
use 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 from April to
October. The schedule is subject to
review and possible cancellation in
2008-2009.
The schedules for the time changes are
stored in the software and can be
selected in the DST schedule
selection screen. Therefore, your clock
will change based on the daylight saving
time schedule.
NOTE:
The automatic clock setting feature
relies on a satellite signal. It will not
work in Hawaii and Alaska.

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

government and return ed back to the
previous “April-October” schedule. If
so, simply change the schedule in this
setting back to the “April-October”
schedule.Time Adjustment

Navigation System123
When I drive at night, the screen
is bright and will not switch
to the night display mode. Why? The system thinks it is 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 headlights on), and Map Color in Setup is set
to Black for Night. See Display on page73.
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 page73.
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 (+) button
(with headlights on) to full brightness.
Remember to set it back to a medium set ting, or at night, the screen will be
bright. See Display on page73.
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 page49.
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, and then
you have the choice to change or remove the PIN. See page79.
I forgot 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 regarding PINs on page79. Your dealer
can reset the PIN for you.
