122Navigation System
Operation in Alaska and
Hawaii
Certain functions that rely on a satellite
signal will not work correctly in Alaska
and Hawaii. These functions include but
are not limited to XM radio, automatic
clock updates, and time zone
adjustments.
Alaska
If the vehicle was purchased in the
lower 48 states and driven to Alaska, the
system cannot display maps. The
message “Vehicle is out of the
database...” will be displayed.
Hawaii
This section describes the differences in
navigation system operation for vehicles
delivered in Hawaii.
XM Radio
Navigation vehicles delivered to Hawaii
are equipped with XM hardware, but XM
broadcasting is not available; therefore
sections of the manual that mention XM
audio feature do not apply. Vehicles
originally delivered to the U.S. mainland
and shipped to Hawaii also have XM, but
will not function because the XM
satellites (aimed toward the U.S.
mainland) are too far away to obtain
reception.
Map Coverage
All roads displayed on the Hawaii map
screens are detailed coverage roads.
Text related to “unverified” roads or
areas are not applicable. The following
topics do not apply in Hawaii:
 Unverified road descriptions (see page
6, 86)
 Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page
64)
 Setup entries that relate to turning on
or off unverified routing (see
page
87 )
 When zooming in and out, there is no 350-mile scale for Hawaii Other Map Issues
 See the coverage section for a list of
islands with coverage (see page 111)
 Freeway Exit information does not
exist in Hawaii, so the “Freeway Exit
Info” icon is not shown on the icon
bar.
