1 Receiving SiriusXM ® Radio
The SiriusXM ® satellites are in orbit over the equator;
therefore, objects south of the vehicle may cause
satellite reception interruptions. Sa tellite signals are
more likely to be blocked by tall buildings and
mountains the farther north you travel from the
equator.
You may experience rece ption problems under the
following circumstances:
•In a location with an obstruction to the south of
your vehicle
•In tunnels•On the lower level of a multi-tiered road
•Large items carried on the roof rack

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 gene rate 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 undergoing revision. You can access the most
recent information on the internet.
2Map Coverage P. 337
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. 334
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 .
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 ac tual 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.

How do I remove the white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
from my screen?Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Map, set Display Tracking to

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.
2Avoided 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. 334
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.

Reference Information
System Initialization
The navigation system must be initialized if
power to the navigation system is
interrupted for any reason (e.g., the battery
was disconnected).
Entering the Security Code
In most cases, you do not need to enter a
security code. Follow the steps to reactivate
the system.
1. Set the power mode to ON, and turn on
the audio system.
2. Press and hold the (Power) button for
more than two seconds.
u The system is reactivated when the
system’s control unit recognizes that
the system is in your vehicle.
If the control unit fa ils to recognize,
you must go to a dealer and have the
system checked.
Acquiring GPS Information
Depending on the length of time the power
was interrupted, your system may require
GPS initialization.
If initialization is not necessary, the system
proceeds directly to the Startup
Confirmation screen.
If the system fails to locate a sufficient
number of satellites to locate your position
within 10 minutes, the following screen is
displayed.

Reference Information
System Limitations
GPS System
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 roof. The
signal reception can easily be interrupted or
interfered with by trees, tall buildings,
freeway/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 bu ilt into the GPS for
which the navigation system must
constantly compensate. This can cause
occasional positioning errors of up to
several hundred feet or tens of 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 addr esses 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.
In addition, the map database contains
verified and unverified areas. Unverified
streets may be missing from the map, in the
wrong location, or have an incorrect name
or address range. A message will warn you
if your route includes unverified streets.
Exercise additional caution when driving in
unverified areas.
