Quick Reference GuideTroubleshootingFor more Information (P119)
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.
How do I specify a destination when an entered city or
street could not be found?
Try entering the street first. So me cities are lumped in with
a major metro area. In rural “unverified” areas or new
subdivisions, streets may be missing or only partially
numbered.How do I turn on the navigation system voice guidance?
1. Press the SETTINGS button. Rotate i to select System
Settings and press u . Check that Volume is not set to
Off .
2. Move w or y to select Voice Rec. Set Voice Prompt
to On if you want the system to provide confirmations
and system prompts.
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the
navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find it?
In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. Simply
press and hold the PWR 9 (Power) button for two
seconds; the system should reactivate.
