The rearview image is displayed within
approximately three meters of the vehicle.
NOTE:
The multi-view rear camera has a special lens that makes distances
appear different than they actually
are.
The multi-view rear camera display has a limited range, and the size and
position of objects around the area
may appear different from reality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
ProblemSolution
The navigation system does not route me the same way I
would go, or the way some ot her mapping program displays.
Why is this? The navigation system attempts to
generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Route Preference on page53.
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 page128 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 in the
dashboard) may be blocked by personal
items. For best reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar
detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or othe r aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on
page 123.
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 101.
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this? Select the North-up map orientati on by voice, or by selecting North-up
from the Map menu . See Map Orientation on page 63.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orienta tions. Why is this? The Heading-up map orientat
ion can only be shown in the lower scales
Map Scale on page66.
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 on 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 page123.

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 114 (Auto Time Zone).
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 114 (Auto Time Zone).
My state does not observe dayli ght saving time. How do I turn
off this feature? You can turn off this feature. See page
114 (Auto Daylight).

Frequently Asked Questions
Daylight saving time occurred, but the navigation system did
not change time even though SETUP shows Auto Daylight
is ON . The automatic daylight saving time feature does not work in regions where
the daylight saving time
system is not adopted.
The navigation system automatic daylight time feature is not
switching the navigation system clock on the correct dates.
Why is this? 1) Go to the
Clock adjustment screen in SETUP and ensure that Auto
Daylight is ON .
2) The automatic daylight saving time feature does not work in regions
where the daylight saving ti me system is not adopted.
For more information, see page 114.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no
apparent reason. Wh at can cause this? You may be driving near
a time zone boundary (see Auto Daylight on
page 114). See page 114 (Auto Time Zone) for more information.
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the
navigation system is asking for a code. What do I do? The navigation system suppor
ts a VIN-recognition anti-theft system. If the
correct navigation system is installed in the vehicle, you do not need to enter
a code. Press and hold the audio power button for two seconds to resume
system operation. The system may ne ed a few moments to reacquire the
GPS signal.
If another system has been in stalled in the vehicle, you will need to enter the
5-digit security code.
There should be a card in the glove box that contains the 5-digit security
code. If you cannot find it, your dealer can help you out.
I speak a language other than English. Are there any other
languages available for the system? Besides English, you may select Fr
ançais or Español for your language
setting.
