Troubleshooting
Screen Error Message Solution
Navigation system is unable to acquire a proper GPS signal.Make sure there is nothing on the dashboard blocking the GPS antenna (aftermarket metallic wi ndow tinting or aftermarket devices placed on the dashboard, like radar detectors, cell phones, or loose items). If the dashboard is clear of objects, move the vehicle to an open space away from tall buildings, trees, etc.
Navigation unit door is open or No DVD disc is inserted. Please check system. Make sure that the navigation DVD disc is inserted with the label side up and the navigation unit door is fully snapped closed (see page 106).
No DVD disc. Please check system. Check that the navigation DVD disc is inserted with the label side up (see page 106). If the problem persists, see your dealer.
DVD disc reading error (unfor matted). Please consult your dealer. Check the DVD disc surface for deep scratches or other damage. Make sure you are using a navigation DVD (turquoise -colored [blue/green] label). The system cannot read other mapping data bases or video DVDs. If the problem persists, see your dealer.

Compact Flash - A media chip that can be used with a PC card adaptor to play audio music files.
Database - This consists of the map data, and the POI (Points of Interest) data stored on the DVD.
DCA - Detailed Coverage Area. The main metropolitan areas in the lower 48 U.S. states, Hawaii, and southern Canada are mapped to this level. See page 109 for a list of these areas.
Digital Audio Card Reader - The PC card slot accepts a PCMCIA adaptor with a flash memory chip (see page 107).
Digitized Road - A road that appears on the navigation screen. The road name will appear at the bottom of the navigation screen. If the user drives “off road,” the navigation system will display “breadcrumbs,” depending on how far you drive from a mapped road.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions. See page 125 for a list of customer FAQs and troubleshootin g information.
GPS - Global Positioning System. A network of 24 satellites in orbit around the earth. The navigation system can simultaneously receive signals from up to 12 satellites to accurately position the vehicle on the map.
GPS Antenna - Located under the dashboard. Electronic items operating in this general location can interfere with the GPS signal.
HFL - Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®. Your vehicle is equipped with this feature, which uses Bluetooth technology as a wireless link between the vehicle and your Bluetooth-compatible cell phone.
Icon - Symbol representing Points of Interest (POI) that can be displayed on the map.
