Quick Reference GuideTroubleshootingFor more Information (P315)
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. 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.
How do I turn on the navigation system voice guidance?
On the map screen, press to display the Map Menu.
Rotate 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 (Power) button for two seconds;
the system should reactivate.
