Global Positioning
System (GPS)
The position of the vehicle isdetermined by using satellitesignals, various vehicle signals, andmap data.
At times, other interference such asthe satellite condition, roadconfiguration, condition of thevehicle, and/or other circumstancescan affect the navigation system'sability to determine the accurateposition of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current positionof the vehicle using signals sent bythe GPS Satellites. When thevehicle is not receiving signals from

Infotainment System 187
the satellites, a symbol appears onthe map display. SeeNavigationSymbols0169.
This system might not be availableor interference can occur if any ofthe following are true:
.Signals are obstructed by tallbuildings, trees, large trucks,or a tunnel.
.Satellites are being repaired orimproved.
For more information if the GPS isnot functioning properly, seeProblems with Route Guidance0187andIf the System NeedsService0188.
Vehicle Positioning
At times, the position of the vehicleon the map could be inaccurate dueto one or more of the followingreasons:
.The road system has changed.
.The vehicle is driving on slipperyroad surfaces such as sand,gravel, or snow.
.The vehicle is traveling onwinding roads or long straightroads.
.The vehicle is approaching a tallbuilding or a large vehicle.
.The surface streets run parallelto a freeway.
.The vehicle has been transferredby a vehicle carrier or a ferry.
.The current position calibrationis set incorrectly.
.The vehicle is traveling at highspeed.
.The vehicle changes directionsmore than once, or the vehicle isturning on a turn table in aparking lot.
.The vehicle is entering and/orexiting a parking lot, garage, or alot with a roof.
.The GPS signal is not received.
.Aroofcarrierisinstalledonthevehicle.
.Tire chains have been installed.
.The tires are replaced or worn.
.The tire pressure for the tires isincorrect.
.This is the first navigation useafter the map data is updated.
.The 12-volt battery isdisconnected for several days.
.The vehicle is driving in heavytraffic where driving is at lowspeeds, and the vehicle isstopped and started repeatedly.
Problems with Route
Guidance
Inappropriate route guidance canoccur under one or more of thefollowing conditions:
.The turn was not made on theroad indicated.
.Route guidance might not beavailable when using automaticrerouting for the next right orleft turn.
.The route might not be changedwhen using automatic rerouting.
.There is no route guidance whenturning at an intersection.

224 Driving and Operating
.Pay attention to special roadsigns (e.g., falling rocks area,winding roads, long grades,passing or no-passing zones)and take appropriate action.
Winter Driving
Driving on Snow or Ice
Snow or ice between the tires andthe road creates less traction orgrip, so drive carefully. Wet ice canoccur at about 0 °C (32 °F) whenfreezing rain begins to fall. Avoiddriving on wet ice or in freezing rainuntil roads can be treated.
For Slippery Road Driving:
.Accelerate gently. Acceleratingtoo quickly causes the wheels tospin and makes the surfaceunder the tires slick.
.Turn on Traction Control. SeeTr a c t i o n C o n t r o l / E l e c t r o n i cStability Control0245.
.The Antilock Brake System(ABS) improves vehicle stabilityduring hard stops, but thebrakes should be applied sooner
than when on dry pavement.SeeAntilock Brake System(ABS)0241.
.Allow greater following distanceand watch for slippery spots. Icypatches can occur on otherwiseclear roads in shaded areas.The surface of a curve or anoverpass can remain icy whenthe surrounding roads are clear.Avoid sudden steeringmaneuvers and braking whileon ice.
.Turn off cruise control.
Blizzard Conditions
Stop the vehicle in a safe place andsignal for help. Stay with the vehicleunless there is help nearby.If possible, use RoadsideAssistance. SeeRoadsideAssistance Program0368.Togethelp and keep everyone in thevehicle safe:
.Turn on the hazard warningflashers.
.Tie a red cloth to an outsidemirror.
{Warning
Snow can trap engine exhaust
under the vehicle. This may
cause exhaust gases to get
inside. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide (CO), which
cannot be seen or smelled. It can
cause unconsciousness and even
death.
If the vehicle is stuck in snow:
.Clear snow from the base ofthe vehicle, especially anyblocking the exhaust pipe.
.Open a window about 5 cm(2 in) on the vehicle sidethat is away from the wind,to bring in fresh air.
.Fully open the air outlets onor under the instrumentpanel.
.Adjust the climate controlsystem to circulate the airinside the vehicle and set

For more information about CO,
seeEngine Exhaust0235.
To s a v e f u e l , r u n t h e e n g i n e f o rshort periods to warm the vehicleand then shut the engine off andpartially close the window. Movingabout to keep warm also helps.
If it takes time for help to arrive,when running the engine, push theaccelerator pedal slightly so theengine runs faster than the idlespeed. This keeps the batterycharged to restart the vehicle and tosignal for help with the headlamps.Do this as little as possible, tosave fuel.
If the Vehicle Is Stuck
Slowly and cautiously spin thewheels to free the vehicle whenstuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow.
If stuck too severely for the tractionsystem to free the vehicle, turn thetraction system off and use therocking method. SeeTr a c t i o nControl/Electronic Stability Control0245.
{Warning
If the vehicle's tires spin at high
speed, they can explode, and you
or others could be injured. The
vehicle can overheat, causing an
engine compartment fire or other
damage. Spin the wheels as little
as possible and avoid going
above 56 km/h (35 mph).
Rocking the Vehicle to Get
it Out
Turn the steering wheel left andright to clear the area around thefront wheels. Turn off any tractionsystem. Shift back and forthbetween R (Reverse) and a lowforward gear, spinning the wheelsas little as possible. To preventtransmission wear, wait until thewheels stop spinning before shiftinggears. Release the acceleratorpedal while shifting, and presslightly on the accelerator pedalwhen the transmission is in gear.Slowly spinning the wheels in theforward and reverse directionscauses a rocking motion that couldfree the vehicle. If that does not getthe vehicle out after a few tries, itmight need to be towed out. If thevehicle does need to be towed out,seeTo w i n g t h e V e h i c l e0337.

{Warning
APA does not apply the brakes.
APA may not detect objects in the
parking space, objects that are
soft or narrow, objects high off the
ground such as flatbed trucks,
or objects below ground level
such as large potholes. Always
verify that the parking space is
appropriate for parking a vehicle.
APA does not respond to changes
in the parking space, such as
movement of an adjacent vehicle,
or a person or object entering the
