vehicle, and/or other circumstances
can affect the navigation system's
ability to determine the accurate
position of the vehicle.

of the vehicle using signals sent by
GPS Satellites. When the vehicle is
not receiving signals from the
satellites, a symbol appears on the
map screen. See
Navigation
Symbols 0195.
This system might not be available
or interference can occur if any of
the following are true:
. Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks,
or a tunnel.

improved.
For more information if the GPS is
not functioning properly, see
Problems with Route Guidance
0 212 andIf the System Needs
Service 0212.
