Multi-View Rear CameraYour vehicle is equipped with a multi-view rear camera. When you shift into Reverse,
the rear view is displayed on the navigation system screen. The edge of the bumper
and parking guide lines are also displayed.
To turn the guide lines on or off, press
and hold the CANCEL button for
about three seconds.
Rotate i to adjust the screen
brightness.
While the rear view is displayed, press u
to switch between WIDE, NORMAL,
and TOP DOWN view modes.
1Multi-View Rear Camera
Always keep the camera lens clean and
unobstructed. The multi-view rear camera has a
lens that makes distances appear different than
they actually are. Always take care when
reversing, and look behind you for obstacles.
Navigation controls are disabled when in
Reverse.
Adjusting the brightness for the multi-view rear
camera display does not affect the brightness for
the navigation screen.
If you turn the guide lines off, they remain off
until you turn them back on.
The last used viewing mode is selected the next
time you shift into Reverse. However, once the
power mode is set to VEHICLE OFF (LOCK), WIDE
mode is selected if TOP DOWN view was last
used.

Problem
Solution
The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed every
time I start the car.
This is normal. The Startup Confirmation screen reminds you and your guest drivers to
always operate the navigation system in a safe manner. If you do not select OK at
startup, voice commands will not work.
The navigation system reboots by itself (returns to the
opening screen).
A reboot can be caused by extreme temperatures or shock from bumpy roads, and
does not necessarily indicate a problem. If this happens frequently, please see a dealer.
How do I specify a destination when an entered city or
street could not be found?
• Try entering the street first. Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. In
rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be missing or only partially
numbered.
• Try selecting the destination directly from the map. 2Map Input
P. 85
Why do some letters become greyed out when I enter
an address?
As you enter each letter in an address or a place/landmark, the navigation system
looks in the database to see what letters are possible and greys out letters that do not
apply.
How do I delete Personal Addresses, Previous
Destinations, or the Home Address?
1.Press the INFO button. Select Set up > Personal Information to display the types
of information.
2.Select the type of address to delete.
3.Select Delete.
I cannot hear the navigation system voice.
1.Press the INFO button. Select Set up and check that Volume is not set to OFF. 2Display and Volume Settings

vehicle is as quiet as possible, and you are using the correct command when
speaking.2Voice Recognition

•Say d “Help” on any screen to see a list of the applicable voice commands.

Troubleshooting
I cannot select an option using the Interface Dial.
To prevent driver distraction, certain onscreen functions and features are limited or
inoperable while the vehicle is moving. Use voice commands or pull over to proceed.
The navigation system pronunciation of street names
in the guidance command or destination address
sounds strange.
The basic guidance phrases use a studio-recorded voice, but street names are
pronounced using a machine-generated voice. Consequently, the name may be
mispronounced or sound strange at times.
The screen is bright when I drive at night.
1.Check that the night time dashboard brightness control is not set to maximum.
2.Press the INFO button. Select Set up > Other > Colour > Map Colour. Set the
Night colour to Black for the best contrast. 2Switching Display Mode Manually

The screen is dark when I drive during the day.
Press the INFO button. Select Set up > Other > Colour > Map Colour. Set the Day
colour to White for the best contrast. 2Switching Display Mode Manually

How do I change or remove my PIN?
1.Press the INFO button. Select Set up > Personal Information > PIN Number >
GO Home 1 PIN or GO Home 2 PIN or Address Book PIN.
2.Enter your existing PIN. You then have the choice to change or remove the PIN. 2PIN Numbers
P. 42
I have forgotten my PIN. How do I reset the PIN for
Home or the PIN for personal addresses?
A dealer must reset the PIN for you.
Why is Call greyed out on the Calculate Route screen?
Your phone is not paired to Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® or, if paired, your phone is in
use.

Guidance, Routing
Problem
Solution
The navigation system does not route me the same
way I would go or the same way as other mapping
systems.
The navigation system attempts to generate the optimal route. You can change the
route preferences used when calculating a route. 2Changing the Route Preference
P. 88
The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.
The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. You can access the most
recent information on the internet. 2Map Coverage
P. 211
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.
• Check that the GPS antenna (located in the dashboard) is not blocked. For best
reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones,
or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS reception.
Please consult a dealer. 2GPS System
P. 208
The blue highlighted route and voice guidance
stopped or turned into a blue/pink dashed line before I
got to my destination.
Your route has entered an unverified area. 2Unverified Area Routing
P. 50
How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive along?
Press the ENTER button to display the Map Menu. Select Map Information > North-
up, or say d “Display north-up” to change the map orientation.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations.
The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales (80 m - 1.6 km
scales). 2Map Scale and Functions
P. 108
The “time to destination” display sometimes increases
even though I am getting closer to my destination.
If your speed reduces due to slower traffic, the navigation system updates the “time to
destination” based on your actual road speed 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.
This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the width of intersections. Large
differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal. 2GPS System

Problem
Solution
The display appears dim when starting the car in really
cold weather.
This is normal. The display will become brighter after a few minutes.
Problem
Solution
When I shift gears, the rear camera image display is
delayed.
This is normal. When shifting into or out of Reverse, you may experience a delay while
the screen image switches between the navigation screen and the rear camera image.
The rear camera image is too dark or too bright. How
do I adjust the brightness?
While the camera image is displayed, rotate the Interface Dial to adjust the brightness.
This adjustment does not affect the navigation screen brightness settings.
