System Initialization
System InitializationIf for any reason you lose power to the
navigation system (e.g., the battery was
disconnected), the navigation system
will require initialization. Once
completed, your system will be ready to
use.
This initialization requires the
following:
Entry of the 4-digit anti-theft security
code.
GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the length of time the
system was without power).
Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map
(displays current street at the bottom
of the map).
Entering the Security CodeIf the battery goes dead or is
disconnected for any reason, you will
have to enter a security code for both the
audio system and the navigation system
before you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you
should have rece ived two cards
containing the audio and navigation
system’s security codes and serial
numbers. Keep these cards in a safe
place in case you need the codes. If you
lose the cards, you must obtain the
security codes from your dealer. Enter the four-digit se
curity code. If you
have entered it correctly, the display
changes to the Disclaimer screen. If
you make a mistake, the system will
display “INCORRECT PIN.” Re-enter
your 4-digit security code. You have 10
chances to enter the correct code. If all
10 are incorrect, turn the ignition to
OFF, then back to ON (II) to have 10
more chances to enter the correct code.
Follow the instructions in your Owner’s
Manual to enter the 5-digit audio code.
The navigation voice will not operate if
the audio code is not entered.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated
to your optional navigation system PIN
(for Personal Address Book or Home
Address).

System InitializationGPS InitializationDepending 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 17).
During initialization, the system
searches for all available GPS satellites
and obtains their orbital information.
During this procedure, the vehicle
should be out in the 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 th e 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 instructions on the
screen, or contact your local dealer for
assistance.
NOTE:
The average acquiri ng time is less than
10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45
minutes.
Map MatchingThis 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 th e 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.

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.
