Driving to Your Destination
Navigation System67

Destination Icon
The destination icon only shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block.) Since most cities
use only a portion of the 100 possible
addresses (for example, in the 1400
block, the addresses may only go up to
1425 before the 1500 block starts).
Therefore, the address 1425 will be
shown a quarter of the way down the
block by the system instead of near the
end of the block where the destination
is actually located.
Tip:
When en route, you can view a map
showing your destination. Using
voice control, say “Display
destination map.”

Clock Adjustment
From the SET UP screen (Other), say
or select Clock Adjustment and the
following screen appears:
This screen allows you to set or adjust
the following:
• Auto Daylight (Default = ON)
• Auto Time Zone (Default = ON)
• Adjust Time (adjust your clock)
• Reset (resets this screen’s settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight
Sets automatic daylight saving time ON
or OFF . If set to ON, the clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
behind” by one hour when a daylight
saving time change occurs.
NOTE:
Even if you have set Auto Daylight to
ON , this function is not activated in
areas that do not adopt daylight
saving time.
Auto Time Zone
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
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
When driving near a time zone
boundary, the displayed time zone may
fl uctuate between the two zone times.

System Setup
116 Navigation System
Correct Vehicle Position
The system relies on satellites for
positioning information. Buildings,
tunnels, and other objects can block
or refl ect these signals, requiring the
system to use “dead reckoning” to
determine your location and direction.
This can sometimes lead to small errors
in positioning, such as showing you on
an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle
position is not recommended. When the
system acquires a GPS signal, it will
automatically place the vehicle in the
correct location.
If you choose to do this, follow
these steps: 1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Select
Correct Vehicle Position ,
and the system will display a
Correct vehicle position screen.
3. Use the Interface Dial to move the
vehicle position arrowhead to the
correct location, and push in on the
Interface Dial . The display will
change to:
4. Rotate the Interface Dial knob
so the vehicle position arrowhead is
pointing in the correct direction,
and push in on the Interface Dial .
The display will return to the
previous screen.
NOTE:
If you continually have to do this, there
are either problems in the database
or GPS reception problems. See
Accessories Precautions on page 5 .
5. As you drive, the current road will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Rearview Camera
Your vehicle is equipped with a
rearview camera as shown in the
illustration.
When you shift to R (Reverse) with the
power mode in the ON mode, the rear
view is shown on the navigation screen.
Parking guidelines appear in the rear
view. For the best image, always keep
the rearview camera lens clean, and be
sure it is not covered.
Since the rearview camera display area
is limited, you should always back up
slowly and carefully, and look behind
you for obstacles.
Rearview Camera Brightness
Adjustment
When in reverse, the navigation “hard”
buttons are locked out, except the
rotating portion of the Interface Dial
knob. Rotate the Interface Dial
knob clockwise to make the camera
image brighter, and counterclockwise to
darken the image.
This brightness adjustment is
independent of the screen brightness
adjustment in SET UP.
NOTE:
• The camera brightness cannot be adjusted by voice control.
• Slight delays can occur when switching to the camera image
(especially when fi rst starting your
vehicle), or switching back to the
map/menu screen. This is normal.

4th line (9 ft, 3 m)
3rd line (6.5 ft, 2 m)
2nd line (3 ft, 1 m)
1st line (1.5 ft, 0.5 m)
The rearview camera display has
distance guidelines indicating distance
from the back of the vehicle to one of
the lines.
NOTE:
• The rearview camera has a special
lens that makes distances appear
closer than they actually are.
• The rearview camera display has a limited range, and the size and
position of objects around the area
may appear different from reality.
Make sure to check the surrounding
area carefully.
