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. 91
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. 237
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.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devi ces can interfere with the GPS reception.
Please consult your dealer. 2 GPS System

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

How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive along?
Press the MAP/GUID E button. 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 (1/20 - 1 mile
scales). 2Map Scale and Functions
P. 111
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. 2 GPS System

The screen is showing white dots as I drive along.
These dots are called “breadcrumbs.” These are displayed if Off-road Tracking is set
to ON and you drive more than 1/2 mile off mapped roads. 2Off-road Tracking
P. 62
How do I remove the white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
from my screen?
Press the INFO button. Select Setup > Other > Vehicle , and set Off-road Tracking
to OFF , then return to the map. 2Off-road Tracking

A road that I selected to avoid is being used when
routing.
When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that
include at least one intersection. 2 Avoiding Streets
P. 117
My elevation (shown when I display the current
position) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation
has not changed.
This is normal. The elevation can vary ±100 feet due to GPS calculation errors. 2GPS System
P. 234
My elevation is missing on the “current position”
screen.
The elevation is only displayed if the GPS antenna can receive signals from at least four
satellites. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. The elevation is also not displayed
if the calculated elevation is zero or below sea level.

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

the screen image switches between the navigation screen and the rear camera image.
The rear camera image is t oo dark or too bright. How
do I adjust the brightness?
While the camera image is disp layed, rotate the Interface Dial to adjust the brightness.
This adjustment does not affect the navigation screen brightness settings.

Do not enter a destination until the road
name is displayed.
The system may initially show your location
on a different street (e.g., in urban areas
where streets are close together), may
show an incorrect elevation, or may delay
the display of the vehi cle position icon at
intersections. This is normal; the system
will correct itself while you drive.
