Frequently Asked Questions
When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch
to the night display mode. Why? Verify the following: Th
e nighttime dash brightness control is not set to
maximum, and Map Color in SETUP is set to Black for Night. See
Switching Display Mode Manually on page98.
The daytime map screen is dark like the night display mode,
and it is hard to see. Why? Verify the following: The
Map Color in SETUP is set to White for Day.
See Switching Display Mode Manually on page98.
Once I press the Display Mode button , the screen no
longer automatically switches between day and night display
modes. Why is this? This is normal. Once you press the
Display Mode button , you are
manually controlling the display mode. Your manual display mode setting is
canceled the next time the vehicle is started.
How can I input my destination using map coordinates? The navigation system was not designed for th is. However, you can view
the coordinates of an a ddress by pushing in on the Interface Dial, selecting
Show Icon on Map , and moving the Interface Dial left to select
Current Location . See Map Screen Legend on page50.
How do I change or remove my PIN? Go to “Personal Information” in the SETUP screen (Other), 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 page 82.
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 page
82. Your dealer
can reset the PIN for you.
CALL is not available on the Calculate route to screen.
Why? Your phone is not paired to the HFL, or

Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
ProblemSolution
The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or
the way some other mapping progr am displays. Why is this?The navigation system attempts to
generate the optimum route. See
Changing Routing Method on page47.
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year. The mapping database is
constantly undergoing revision. See page111 for
ways to obtain the latest de tailed coverage information.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road, and the
“GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is
white or missing. • The GPS antenna (located under
the dashboard) may be blocked by
personal items. For best re ception, remove items from the dashboard, such
as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarke t devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on
page 104.
I entered a destination, but th e blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my dest ination. Why is this? Your route has entered
an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 86.
The map rotates while I make turns. How ca n I stop this? Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by selecting “North-up ”
from the Map menu . See Map Orientation on page 57.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orienta tions. Why is this? The Heading-up map orient
ation can only be shown in the lower scales
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page56.
While driving to my destinati on, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer. The “Time to go” is based on actual
road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based of your actual spee d to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short distance
behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong? No. When at an intersection, the syst
em is unaware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page104.

Frequently Asked Questions
While I drive, my screen s hows white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
on it. What do they mean? These are called “breadcrumbs.”
If you drive more than 1/2 mile from
mapped roads, the off-road tracking feature begins to function. See Off-road
Tracking on pages 62 and 95.
How can I get rid of the white dots (“breadcrumbs”) from my
screen? Go to “Vehicle” in the
SETUP screen (Other ), and set Off-road
Tracking to OFF , then return to the map. See page 95.
A road that I selected to avoi d is being used when routing.
What is wrong? When you “draw” your area to avoid, make
sure to select sections of roads
that include at least one intersection. See page90.
When I arrive at my destination, the bull’s-eye is shown at a
different location on the street. Why? The system calculates the bull’s-eye location based on th
e street address
range allocated for that street. See Destination Icon on page57 for an
example.
My elevation (shown when I di splay the current position)
seems to fluctuate even though my elevation has not changed. This is normal and due to errors in sa
tellite position. The elevation can vary
+/- 100 feet. See System Limitations on page104.
My elevation is missing on the “current pos ition” screen.
Why? If the GPS antenna cannot receive at least four satellites, the elevation is not
displayed. Try moving the vehicle into
an open area. If the elevation is zero,
or below sea level, the elev ation is also not displayed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ordering a Navigation DVD, Coverage, Map Errors, Limitations
ProblemSolution
I want to buy a new DVD. How do I purchase one ? You cannot obtain a new DVD from the dealer. See Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD on page109.
I want to order a DVD. How ca n I determine the DVD version
in my navigation system? The version is on the label of your DVD. It starts with “Ver:.” See
Changing
the DVD on page 110.
I got a navigation DVD from a friend, but it does not work.
Why? Your vehicle was designed to use
a white DVD. DVDs with differently
colored labels or from different manuf acturers will not operate correctly.
Always obtain DVDs from the DVD order desk. See page 109.
When is my city going to become part of a fully verified
detailed coverage area? The mapping database vendor is constantly revising map coverage. See
page
111 for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
Will the navigation system work outside North America? The navi gation system contains maps only for the lower 48 U.S. states,
Hawaii, and portions of s outhern Canada. The syst em will not work in
Mexico, Alaska, or ove rseas. Canada coverage is limited. See Map

I moved my vehicle from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii. Why
does my navigation system not show the correct map? The coverage area (Hawai
i or U.S. mainland) must be selected by your
dealer.
Can I play video DVDs in my navigation sy stem?No. The navigation system is designed only to read the white DVD provided
with your vehicle. Map di scs for other vehicle manufacturers or PC map
programs will not work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Display, Accessories
Rear Camera
Miscellaneous Other Questions
Problem Solution
The display appears dim when starting the car in really cold
weather. Is there a problem? No. This is normal, and it will become brighter after a few minutes.
Problem Solution
When I shift gears, the rear camera image is delayed. When shifting into or out of reverse, you may experience delays when the
screen image switches between the navigation screen and the rear camera
image. This is normal.
The rear camera image is too dark or too bright. How do I
adjust the brightness? While the camera image is displaye
d, use the rotating portion of the
Interface Dial (knob ) to adjust the brightness . This adjustment does not
affect the Setup screen brightness adjustments.
Problem Solution
My clock frequently changes forward and backward by one
hour. Why is this? The clock is being automatically set ba
sed on your GPS location. If you live
and work on the boundary between two time zones, you can turn off this
feature. See page 94.
When driving near a time zone border, the time changes even
though I am not near the time zone. Why is this? The time zone borders are only appr
oximated in the system. Depending on
the geography of the time zone boundary, the switch to a different zone can
be erratic. See page 94.
My state does not observe dayl ight savings time. How do I
turn off this feature? You can turn off this feature. See page
94.

savings time. Set Auto Daylight to ON on the Clock adjustment
screen in SETUP, and ensure that the correct month switching schedule
is chosen on the DST schedule selection screen. See page 94 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 be a card in the glove box with the anti-theft code for the
navigation/audio syst
em. This card contains the 4-digit security code and
serial number. If you cannot find it , your dealer can help you out.
I speak a language other than English. When will other
languages be available for the navigation system? This is being considered
as a future enhancement.
