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, even if you do not
select OK.
The navigation system reboots by itself (returns to
the opening screen).A reboot can be caused by extreme temperatures or shock from bumpy roads, and
does not necessarily indicate a problem. If this happens frequently, please see your
dealer.

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.

The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road. ●Check that the GPS antenna (located in the dashboard) is not blocked. For best
reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar detectors, cellular
phones, or loose articles.
●Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS reception.
Please consult your dealer.

The “arrive time” display sometimes increases even
though I am getting closer to my destination.“Arrival time” is based on the speed limit on each road. Depending on the traffic
conditions, the “arrival time” may be calculated to be earlier or later.
My elevation (shown when I display the current
position) seems to fluctuate even though my
elevation has not changed.This is normal. The elevation can vary ±100 ft (30 m) due to GPS calculation errors.
2GPS P. 130
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.

System Limitations
GPS
The signals received from the GPS satellites
are extremely weak (less than a millionth of
the strength of a local FM station) and
require an unobstructed view of the sky.
The GPS antenna is located in the
dashboard. The signal reception can easily
be interrupted or interfered with by the
following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side
windows
• Cellular phones, PDAs, or other electronic
devices docked in a cradle or lying loose
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle
tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devices mounted near
the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, highway overpasses,
tunnels, or overhead electrical power
wires
The GPS is operated by the U.S. Department
of Defense. For security reasons, there are
certain inaccuracies built into the GPS for
which the navigation system must
constantly compensate. This can cause
occasional positioning errors of up to
several hundred feet (meters).
Address Calculation
The destination icon shows only the
approximate location of a destination
address. This occurs if the number of
possible addresses is different from the
number of actual addresses on a block. For
example, the address 1425 on a 1400 block
with 100 possible addresses (because it is
followed by the 1500 block) will be shown a
quarter of the way down the block by the
system. If there are only 25 actual addresses
on the block, the actual location of address
1425 would be at the end of the block.
Database
The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various points
in time before production. Accordingly,
your database may contain inaccurate or
incomplete data or information due to the
passage of time, road construction,
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may
be missing when you search the database
because the name was misspelled, the place
was improperly categorized, or a place/
landmark is not yet in the database. This is
also true for police stations, hospitals, and
other public institutions. Do not rely on the
navigation system if you need law
enforcement or hospital services. Always
check with local information sources.
131
uu System Limitations u Database
Reference Information
The database does not include, analyze,
process, consider, or reflect any of the
following categories of information:
• Neighborhood quality or safety
• Population density
• Availability or proximity of law
enforcement
• Emergency, rescue, medical, or other
assistance
• Construction work, zones, or hazards
• Road and lane closures
• Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type,
weight, load, height, and speed
restrictions)
• Road slope or grade
• Bridge height, width, weight, or other
limits
• Traffic facilities safety
• Special events
• Pavement characteristics or conditions
Every effort has been made to verify that
the database is accurate. The number of
inaccuracies you experience increases the
longer you go without obtaining an
updated map database.

that the service advisor can refer the issue to
the factory so that a solution can be found.
Be patient, the service advisor may be
unfamiliar with your specific issue.
