The navigation system sometimes provides a detour
route when I am driving a route on the freeway/
highway.If Traffic Rerouting is set to On, the navigation system provides a detour route
to your destination only if it can find a si gnificantly faster route than the original
one.
2 Traffic Rerouting P. 58
The navigation system routes me to an exit and an
alternate freeway/highway with unknown flow
speeds or surface streets.The navigation system predicts which r oute should be faster based on freeway/
highway congestion along your route. Us e your own experience to determine
whether the alternate route would be faster.
How can I ignore the detour route and return to the
original route?Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Routing , and set Traffic
Rerouting to Off .

Guidance, Routing
ProblemSolution
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.
2 Route Preference P. 54
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. 58
The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.The mapping database is constantly under going revision. You can access the most
recent information on the internet.
2 Map Coverage P. 339
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.This is normal. The signals received from the GPS satellites are extremely weak and
can easily be interrupted or interfered as your vehicle travel near tall buildings or
in tunnels. Check your vehicle surroundings for anything that may be blocking the
reception. If this happens frequently and there is no obstruction that interfering
the reception, please see a dealer.
2 GPS System P. 336
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. 56
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 “ 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 tra ffic, 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 navigati on system is unaware of the width of intersections.
Large differences in vehicle position ca n indicate a temporary loss of the GPS
signal.

The screen is showing wh ite dots as I drive along.These dots are called “breadcr umbs.” These are displayed if Display Tracking is
set to On.
How do I remove the white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
from my screen?Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Map, set Display Tracking to
Off or select Delete Tracking to remove the white dots from the map.
2Display Tracking P. 84
A road that I selected to avoid is being used when
routing.When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that
include at least one intersection.
2 Avoided Area P. 60
My elevation (shown when I display the current
position) seems to fluc tuate even though my
elevation has not changed.This is normal. The elevation can vary ±100 ft (±30 m) due to GPS calculation
errors.
2 GPS System P. 336
My elevation is missing on the “current position”
screen.The elevation is only displayed if the GPS antenna can receive signals from at least
four satellites. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. The elevation is also not
displayed if the calculated elevation is zero or below sea level.

The display appears dim when starting the car in
really cold weather.This is normal. The display will become brighter after a few minutes.
ProblemSolution
When I shift gears, the rear camera image display is
delayed.This is normal. When shifti ng into or out of Reverse, you may experience a delay
while the screen image switches between the audio/information screen and the
rear camera image.
The rear camera image is too dark or too bright.
How do I adjust the brightness?While the camera image is displayed, ro tate the Interface Dial to adjust the
brightness. This adjustment does not affect the navigation screen brightness
settings.
