System Overview
Your navigation system is a highly
sophisticated location system with voice
control that uses satellites and a map
database to show you where you are and
to help guide you to a desired
destination.
The navigation system receives signals
from the global positioning system
(GPS), a network of 24 satellites in orbit
around the earth. By receiving signals
from several of these satellites, the
navigation system can determine the
latitude, longitude, and elevation of
your vehicle. In addition, a gyroscopic
yaw sensor and a vehicle speed sensor
in your vehicle keep track of the
direction and speed of travel at all times.
This vehicle’s navigation display, if so
equipped, includes mercury-containing
components. Upon removal, please
reuse, recycle, or dispose of as
hazardous waste. NOTICE

System Setup
Correct Vehicle Position
The system relies on satellites for positioning information. Buildings, tunnels, and other objects can block or reflect these signals, requiring the system to use “dead reckoning” to determine your location and direction.This can sometimes lead to small errors in positioning, such as showing you on an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle position is not recommended. When the system acquires a GPS signal, it will automatically place the vehicle in the correct location.
If you choose to do this, follow these steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Select Adjust, and the system will display a map adjustment screen.
3. Use the ZOOM buttons and the joystick to move the location arrowhead to the correct location. Touch the arrow buttons on the bottom of the screen to rotate the direction arrows so the vehicle position is pointin g in the correct direction.
NOTE:
If you continually have to do this, there are either problems in the database or GPS reception problems. See Accessories Precautions on page 5.
4. When you have finished, press the joystick or select Done to return to the previous screen.
5. As you drive, the current road will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

System Setup
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 wh ere daylight saving
time is not used, then you may want to
turn this feature off. NOTE:
If you set Auto Daylight Saving Time to
On
, the daylight saving 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
2010-2011.
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.

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.

System Limitations
Although your navigation system is one of the most highly sophisticated pieces of equipment you will find in a modern automobile, you may find during its use that it has certain limitations.
The system uses Gl obal Positioning System (GPS) signals to aid in determining its current location. The GPS is operated by the U.S.Department of Defense. For security reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built into the GPS that the navigation system must constantly compensate for. This can cause occasional positioning errors of up to se veral hundred feet.
For example, in urban areas where streets are close together, this could cause the system to show that you are traveling on a street that parallels the street you are actually on. The system will, under most circumstances, correct itself while you drive.
Depending on your current view of the sky and the position of the satellites, the elevation may be shown incorrectly. You may also notice some delay of the vehicle position icon at intersections; this is normal.
GPS Reception Issues
The signals received from the GPS satellites are extremely weak (less than a millionth of the strength of a local FM station) and requir e an unobstructed view of the sky. The signal can easily be interrupted or interfered with by the following:
• Aftermarket metallic window tint above or to the sides of the GPS antenna (located under the dashboard)
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle or lying loose on the dashboard
• Radar detectors mounted on the dashboard
• Remote starters, or “hidden” vehicle tracking systems mounted near the navigation unit
• Other aftermarket audio electronic devices mounted near the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead electrical power wires
Although the system will direct you to your desired destination, it may not always generate what you consider to be the most direct rout e. Try changing the method of routing. See Changing the Routing Method on page 46. You may also have Unverified Area Routing set to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on page 83.
Additionally, the mapping database contains verified and unverified maps. See Map Overview on page 6. A Disclaimer screen will warn you if your route includes unverified streets.Unverified streets may be missing from the map, in the wrong location, or have an incorrect name or address range.Exercise addition al caution when driving in these unverified areas.

Operation in Alaska and
Hawaii
Certain functions that rely on a satellite signal will not work 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.
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 and 83).
• Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page 62).
• Setup entries that re late to turning on or off unverified routing (see page 84).
• 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 107).
• Freeway Exit information does not exist in Hawaii, so the “Freeway Exit Info” icon is not shown on the icon bar.
Address and POI Entry Screens
When in Hawaii, the following differences occur for map, address, and POI selection:
• It is not possible to enter U.S. mainland addresses or scroll the map east to the U.S. mainland.
• Selection of the “State” is confined to the state of Hawaii only.
• Entry of a destination address or POI on an island other than your current island may result in a screen caution message. This is normal because there are no “ferry” routes between islands available in the database.
• If the “Guidance Prompts” setting on the Setup screen is set to normal or maximum, street names will not be spoken in voice guidance commands.
Coverage Areas

126Navigation System
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 60 and 90.
How can I get rid of the whit e dots (“breadcrumbs”) from my screen? Go to “Vehicle” in the Setup screen (second), and set Off-road Tracking to Off, then return to the map. See page 90.
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 page 87.
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 the street address range allocated for that street. See Destination Icon on page 55 for an example.
My elevation (shown when I t ouch the vehicle position icon) 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 page 98.
My elevation is missing on th e “current position” 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.
