Troubleshooting
For more Information
(P297)
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?
On the map screen, press u to display the Map Menu.
Rotate i to select Guidance Volume . Adjust the
preferred volume level.
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 9 (Power) button for two seconds; the
system should reactivate.

24System Setup
Voice Control SystemYour vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of most of
the navigation system functions.
The voice control system uses the d (Talk) and J (Hang-Up/Back) buttons on
the steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.
A “Getting Started” feature provides a tuto rial that explains how to use the voice
control system.
2Getting Started Tutorial
P. 16
Command InputIf the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a
command, the system asks y ou to repeat the command.
When you give a command, the system ge nerally either repeats the command as a
confirmation or asks you for further informa tion. If you do not wish to hear this
feedback, you can turn it off. However, list ening to the feedback will help familiarize
you with the way the system ex pects commands to be phrased.
If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the
screen you are on, the system beeps.
On character input screens, a list of possi ble characters is displayed if the system
does not recognize your command.
You can find out which voice commands are available for a particular screen using
the d “Voice Help” command. The system will display and read the list of available
commands to you.
