■Multi-View Rear Camera Display Area
1 About 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 conditi ons (such as weather,
lighting, and high temperat ures) 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.

The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed every
time I start the car.This is normal. The Startup Confirmation screen reminds you and your guest drivers to
always operate the navigation system in a safe manner. The Startup Confirmation
screen goes off after a certain period of time and the top screen of the last mode is
displayed.
The navigation system reboots by itself (returns to the
opening screen).A reboot can be caused by extreme temper atures or shock from bumpy roads, and
does not necessarily indicate a problem. If this happens frequently, please see a dealer.
How do I specify a destination when an entered city or
street could not be found?• Try entering the street first. Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. In
rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be missing or only partially
numbered.
• Try selecting the destinati on directly from the map.

The navigation system sometimes provides a detour
route when I am drivi ng a route on the freeway.If Traffic Rerouting is set to On, the navigation system pr ovides a detour route to
your destination only if it can find a signific antly faster route than the original one.

alternate freeway with unknown flow speeds or

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.
