1About Your Multi-View Rear Camera
The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot
see the corner ends of the bumper or what is
underneath the bumper. Its unique lens also
makes objects appear closer or farther than they
actually are.
Visually confirm that it is safe to drive before
backing up. Certain conditions (such as weather,
lighting, and high temperatures) may also restrict
the rear view. Do not rely on the rearview display
which does not give you all information about
conditions at the back of your vehicle.
If the camera lens is covered with dirt or
moisture, use a soft, moist cloth to keep the lens
clean and free of debris.

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. 2Route Preference
P. 50
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. 53
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. 297
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 devices can interfere with the GPS reception.
Please consult a dealer. 2GPS System
P. 294
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. 51
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 unaware of the width of intersections. Large
differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal. 2GPS System
