Quick Reference GuideTroubleshootingFor more Information (P205)
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 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 the posted road
speed signs and your actual road speed 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?
1.Select HOME and then select Settings. Select System,
and then select Sound/Beep tab. Check that Volume
is not set to 00.
2.Select Voice Recog tab on the System settings screen,
and set Voice Prompt to On if you want the system to
provide confirmations and system prompts.
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 (Audio Power) button for two
seconds; the system should reactivate.

System Setup
Voice Control System
Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of most of
the navigation system functions. You can also control the audio and climate control
system, and make and receive phone calls using Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®.
The voice control system uses the (Talk) and (Hang-Up/Back) buttons on the
steering wheel and microphones at the top of the navigation screen.
A “Getting Started” feature provides a tutorial that explains how to use the voice
control system.
2Voice Help P. 15
Command Input
If the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a
command, the system asks you to repeat the command.
When you give a command, the system generally either repeats the command as a
confirmation or asks you for further information. If you do not wish to hear this
feedback, you can turn it off. However, listening to the feedback will help familiarize
you with the way the system expects commands to be phrased.
2Voice Recognition Settings P. 69
On character input screens, a list of possible characters is displayed if the system
does not recognize your command.
You can find out which voice commands are available for a particular screen using
the “Voice Help” command. The system will display and read the list of available
commands to you.
