 PINs are optional. If you choose to  use a PIN, make sure you remember 
it. If you forget your  PIN, your dealer

Clock Adjustment
From the Setup screen (second), say or 
select  Clock Adjustment  and the 
following screen appears:
This screen allows y ou 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 new 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 correctly in  Hawaii and Alaska.

Auto Time Zone by GPS
Sets automatic time zone selection by 
GPS to On or Off . If you are driving 
across the country and passing through 
time zones, then this feature will 
automatically set the time to the time 
zone you are traveling through. 
However, if you live and work in two 
different time zones, you may want to

boundary, the displayed time zone may 
fluctuate between the two zone times.

This option lets you select the schedule 
(April-October  or March-
November ) when daylight saving time 
will automatically occur in your 
navigation system. The  system default is 
the  March-November  schedule as 
mandated by the U.S. government. 
During 2010-2011, it is possible that 
this new change will  be canceled by the 
government and returned back to the 
previous “April-October” schedule. If 
so, simply change the schedule in this 
setting back to the “April-October” 
schedule.

minutes. You can reset the adjustment 
by selecting  Reset. Selecting  Done

When I drive at night, the screen 
is bright and will not switch 
to the night display mode. Why? The system thinks it is in Day
 display mode. Verify the following: The 
display mode in Setup is set to  Auto, the dash brightness is not set to 
maximum (must adjust with headlights on), and  Map Color in Setup is set 
to  Black for Night. See  Display on page 78.
The daytime  map screen is dark like the night display mode, 
and it is hard to see. Why? Verify the following: The disp
lay mode in Setup is set to Auto, and Map 
Color  in Setup is set to  White for Day. See  Display on page 78.
During the day, I turned on the lights because it started to 
rain, but the screen went dark. How can I make it still display 
day mode? Adjust the dash brightness (+) button 
(with headlights on) to full brightness. 
Remember to set it back to a medium set ting, or at night, the screen will be 
bright. See  Display on page 78.
How can I input my destination using map  coordinates? The navigation system was not designed for th is. However, you can view 
the coordinates of an address by touching the vehicle position icon on the 
map. See  Map Screen Legend  on page52.
How do I change or remove my PIN? Go to “Personal Information” in the  Setup screen (second), and select PIN 
Number . Select User 1  or User 2  and enter your existing PIN, and then 
you have the choice to change  or remove the PIN. See page84.
I forgot the PIN for Home, or  the PIN for personal addresses 
(User 1 or User 2). How do I reset it? PINs are optional. See information regarding PINs on page
84. Your dealer 
can reset the PIN for you.
CALL  is not available on the  Calculate route to screen. 
Why? Your phone is not paired to HFL, or if your phone is paired, it is in use or 
does not have good coverage; press the 
HFL BACK button.
