Troubleshooting
Screen Error Message Solution
Navigation system is unable to acquire a proper GPS signal.
Make sure there is nothing on the dashboard blocking the GPS antenna
(aftermarket metallic window tinting or aftermarket devices placed on the
dashboard, like radar detectors, cell phones, or loose items). If the dashboard
is clear of objects, move the vehicle to an open space away from tall buildings,
trees, etc.

Navigation unit door is open or No DVD disc is inserted.
Please check system. Make sure that the navigation DVD disc is inserted with the label side up
and the navigation unit door is fully snapped closed (see page 109).
No DVD disc. Please check system. Check that the navigation DVD disc is inserted with the label side up (see page 109). If the problem persists, see your dealer.
DVD disc reading error (unformatted). Please consult your
dealer. Check the DVD disc surface for deep scratches or other damage. Make sure
you are using a navigation DVD (white
-colored label). The system cannot
read other mapping databases or video DVDs. If the problem persists, see
your dealer.
Display temp is too high. System will shut down until display
cools down. This message will appear briefly when the display temperature is too high,
and then the display will turn off
until the temperature cools down. The
system will turn back on when the display cools down.
Outside temperature is low. System will take awhile to start
up. The temperature is below -22°F and the navigation system has difficulty
reading the DVD. The system will st
art up when the temperature warms up.
Navigation system voice recognition cannot be activated
when another unit is using the audio system. Bluetooth
® HandsFreeLink® can override the navigation system. Make
sure the HFL TALK button is not on when you press the NAVI TALK
button, or the message will appear. Simply press the HFL BACK button to
resume control of the navigation voice buttons.

pertaining to the voice recognition
navigation system.
Avoid Area - Areas you wish to avoid
can be entered into the system, and
will be avoided while routing.
Breadcrumbs - Off-road tracking dots
that can be followed on the map to
retrace your route back to a mapped

turned on/off in the Setup screen
(second).
Database - This consists of the map
data, and the POI (Points of Interest)
data stored on the DVD.
DCA - Detailed Coverage Area. The
main metropolitan areas in the lower
48 U.S. states, Hawaii, and southern
Canada are mapped to this level. See
page 110 for a list of these areas. Digitized Road -
A road that appears on
the navigation screen. The road name
will appear at the bottom of the
navigation screen. If the user drives
“off road,” the navigation system will
display “breadcrumbs,” depending on
how far you drive from a mapped
road.
Disclaimer Screen - Screen containing
cautionary information. It is meant to
be read carefully and acknowledged
by the customer when using the

accurately position the vehicle on the
map.
GPS Antenna - Located under the
dashboard. Electronic items operating
in this general lo cation can interfere
with the GPS signal.
HFL - Bluetooth ® HandsFreeLink®.
Your vehicle is equipped with this
feature, which uses Bluetooth
technology as a wireless link between
the vehicle and your Bluetooth-
compatible cell phone.
Icon - Symbol representing Points of
Interest (POI) that can be displayed
on the map.
Initialization - This refers to the period
needed to reacquire the GPS satellite
orbital information whenever the

minutes with the vehicle out in an
open area.
