System Initialization
System Initialization
If for any reason you lose power to the navigation system (e.g., the battery was disconnected), the navigation system will require initialization. Once completed, your system will be ready to use.
This initialization requires the following:
• Entry of the 4-digit anti-theft security code.
• GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the le ngth of time the system was without power).
• Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map (displays current street at the bottom of the map).
Entering the Security Code
If the battery goes dead or is disconnected for any reason, you will have to enter a secur ity code for both the audio system and the navigation system before you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you should have received two cards containing the audio and navigation system’s security codes and serial numbers. Keep these cards in a safe place in case you need the codes. If you lose the cards, you must obtain the security codes from your dealer.
Enter the four-digit security code, then select Done. If you make a mistake, the system will display “incorrect PIN.” Re-enter your 4-digit security code. If you have entered it corr ectly, the display changes to the Disclaimer screen. You have 10 chances to enter the correct code. If all 10 are incorrect, turn the ignition to OFF, then back to ON (II) to have 10 more chances to enter the correct code.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated to your optional navigation system PIN (for Personal Address Book or Home Address).

System Initialization
GPS Initialization
Depending on the length of time the battery was disconnected, your system may require GPS initialization. If it does, the following screen appears:
If this procedure is not necessary, the system proceeds directly to the Disclaimer screen (see page 16). During initialization, the system searches for all available GPS satellites and obtains their orbital information. During this procedure, the vehicle should be out in th e open with a clear view of the sky.
If the navigation system finds the satellites properly, this box clears and the Disclaimer screen is shown. If within 10 minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your position, the following screen appears:
If the system is still unable to acquire a signal, follow the in structions on the screen, or contact you r local dealer for assistance.
NOTE:
The average acquiring time is less than 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
Map Matching
This part of the initialization matches the GPS coordinates found above with a road on the map screen. To perform this part of the procedure, ensure that the navigation system is displaying a map, and drive the vehicle on a mapped road (a road shown on the map screen). Do not enter a destina tion at this time. When the name of the current road you are driving on appears at the bottom of the screen, the entire procedure is complete. Your system is now ready to use.
The navigation system lost power and is acquiring its location from the GPS satellites. This usually takes less than 10 minutes.* Start the engine. * Park the vehicle in an open area away from trees, power lines, and tall buildings.* Remove loose articles, cell phones, or electrical accessories located near the GPS antenna.* If this screen is displayed repeatedly when starting the vehicle, see your dealer.
Something is interfering with the system’s ability to acquire its location. Check the following:* The vehicle must be in an open area with a clear view of the sky.* Remove sources of GPS interference like metallic window tint above antenna, or electrical items near antenna (see owner's manual for details).* Check GPS antenna cable connection. * Restart the engine and repeat the GPS acquire procedure. If the problem persists, see your dealer.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 fo r the navigation system? This is being considered as a future enhancement.
