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.
The screen does not close completely. Why is  this?• Ensure that it is not during inse rting/ejecting a CD. The screen cannot be 
closed if a CD is not completely inserted in the unit.
• Ensure that it is not during insert ing/ejecting the DVD. The screen cannot 
be closed if the DVD is not completely inserted in the unit.
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 displayed, use the Zoom In/Zoom Out controls to 
adjust the brightness. This adjustme
nt 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 98.
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 98.

Frequently Asked Questions
My state does not observe daylight saving time. How do I turn 
off this feature? You can turn off this feature. See page
97.
Daylight saving time  occurred, but the navigation system did 
not change time even though Setup shows  Auto Daylight 
Saving Time  is On . Go to the 
Clock adjustment  screen in Setup and select  DST Selection.  
Ensure that the correct DST schedule is selected. For more information, see 
Clock Adjustment  on page97.
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 Saving Time  is On .
2) The navigation system is designed  to switch to daylight saving time 
according to the months selected in the  DST schedule selection screen.  
Ensure that the appropriate schedule is selected. For more information, 
see  Clock Adjustment  on page97.
The navigation system  clock switched by one hour for no 
apparent reason. Wh at can cause this? 1) You may be driving near 
a time zone boundary (see Auto Time Zone by 
GPS on page 98).
2) The navigation system does not switch between standard  and daylight 
saving time. Set  Auto Daylight Saving Time  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 97 
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.
