Why does the vehicle position icon on the map “lag” a
short distance behind my actual position, especially at
intersections?
This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the
width of intersections. Large differences in vehicle position
can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.
Why does the “time to destination” display sometimes
increase even though I am getting closer to my
destination?
The “time to destination” is based on your actual road
speed and traffic conditions to give you a better estimate
of arrival time.
Why does my clock frequently change the time forward
and backward by one hour?
The clock setting is automatically updated based on your
GPS location. If you normally drive between two time
zones, the clock may keep adjusting the time. You can
turn this feature off.

How do I specify a destination when an entered city or

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. 88
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. 211
The vehicle position icon is not following the road and
the “GPS icon” text in the 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 a dealer.
