ProblemSolution
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.
2Route Preference P. 35
The navigation system wants to route me around
potential traffic problems. How do I stop these pop-up
messages?Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Routing , and set Traffic
Rerouting to Off .
2Traffic Rerouting P. 38
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. 133
The vehicle position icon is not following the road and
the “GPS icon” text in th e 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.

Please consult a dealer.
2 GPS System P. 130
The blue highlighted route and voice guidance
stopped or turned into a blue/pink line before I got to
my destination.Your route has entered an unverified area.
2Unverified Routing P. 36
How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive along?Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Map > View > North-Up , or say
d “Display north-up” to change the map orientation.
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 un aware of the width of intersections. Large
differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.
