System Initialization
System Initialization
If 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 5-digit anti-theft security
code to “unlock” the audio and
navigation system.
GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the length of time the
system was without power). (See
GPS Initialization on this page.)
Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map
(displays current street at the bottom
of the map). (See Map Matching on
page 128.)
Entering the Security Code
If the battery goes dead or is
disconnected for any reason, you will
have to enter a security code for the
audio and navigation system before you
can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you
should have received one card
containing the navigation system’s
security code and serial number. Keep
this card in a safe place in case you need
the code. If you lose the card, you must
obtain the security code from your
dealer.
Enter the 5-digit security code in
accordance with the owner’s manual for
your vehicle. If you do not enter the
security code, the navigation and audio
voice will not function.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated
to your optional navigation system PIN
(for Address Book or Home Address).
GPS Initialization
Depending 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 18).
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Daylight saving time occurred, but the navigation system did
not change time even though SETUP shows Auto Daylight
is ON . The automatic daylight saving time feature does not work in regions where
the daylight saving time system is not adopted.
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 automatic daylight saving time feature does not work in regions where the daylight saving time system is not adopted.
For more information, see page 114.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no
apparent reason. What can cause this? You may be driving near a time zone boundary (see
Auto Daylight on
page 114). See page 115 (Auto Time Zone) 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 5-digit security code and
serial number. If you cannot find it, your dealer can help you out.
I speak a language other than English. Are there any other
languages available for the system? Besides English, you may select Français or Español for your language
setting.
