Frequently Asked QuestionsGuidance, Routing
ProblemSolution
The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or
the way some other mapping program displays. Why is this? The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See
Changing Routing Method
on page47.
Why is the street I’m on not s hown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year. The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page
112 for
ways to obtain the latest detailed 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 on the passenger
's side of the rear shelf) may be
blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the rear
shelf, such as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
 Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS reception. Please see you r dealer. Also see System Limitations on
page 105.
I entered a destination, but the blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my destination. Why is this? Your route has entered an
unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 87.
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this? Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by selecting “North-up” from the Map menu. See Map Orientation on page57.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations. Why is this? The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See
Map Scale on page56.
While driving to my destination, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even th ough 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 speed to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on th e map “lags” a short distance
behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong? No. When at an in
tersection, the system is un aware 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 page105.

Frequently Asked Questions
Display, Accessories
Rear Camera
Miscellaneous Other Questions
Problem Solution
The display appears dim when st arting 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 shifti ng into or out of reverse, you may experience delays when the
screen image switches between the na vigation screen and the rear camera
image. This is normal.
The rear camera image is too da rk or too bright. How do I
adjust the brightness? While the camera image is displayed, 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 based on your GPS location. If you live
and work on the boundary between two time zones, you can turn off this
feature. See page
95.
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 approximated in the system. Depending on
the geography of the time zone boundary, the switch to a different zone can
be erratic. See page
95.
My state does not observe daylight saving time. How do I turn
off this feature? You can turn off this feature. See page
95.

Frequently Asked QuestionsDaylight saving time occurred, but the navigation system did
not change time even though SETUP shows Auto Daylight
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 page94.
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 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 page94.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no
apparent reason. What can cause this? 1) You may be driving near a time zone boundary (see
Auto Daylight on
page 95).
2) The navigation system does not switch between standard and daylight saving time. Set Auto Daylight 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 page95 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 system. 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.
