Taking a Detour
H (Home)uNavigationuuDetour (when en route)
Calculates a new route to avoid something ahead of you. The system creates a new
route if possible. The system attempts to get you back on your original route as
quickly as possible.
You can take a detour for a specified distance along your route or detour around
specific roads. This is useful if you encounter construction zones, closed roads, or
poor road conditions.
Select an option.
The following options are available:
•Skip Next Turn: Calculates a new route by avoiding the next turn on your route.
•0.5 mi.: Calculates a new route by avoiding the next 0.5 mile on your route.
•2 mi.: Calculates a new route by avoiding the next 2 miles on your route.
•5 mi.: Calculates a new route by avoiding the next 5 miles on your route.

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.

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 generate the optimal route. You can change the
route preferences used when calculating a route.
2Calculation Mode P. 41
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. ●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 your dealer.
●Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with GPS reception.
Please consult your dealer.
2GPS P. 106
How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive
along?1.Press the (Home) icon and then select Navigation > .
2.Select Settings > Map and Vehicle > Driving Map View.
3.Check that Driving Map View is set to Track Up or 3D.
4.Select North Up and then select Save.
The “Arrival time” display sometimes increases
even though I am getting closer to my destination.The “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. 106
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.

Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Bahamas, French Guiana,
Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Barthelemy, and Jamaica. The navigation system
will not work in other countries.

Reference Information

GPS
The signals received from 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 fin antenna. The
signal reception can easily be interrupted or
interfered with by the following:
• Audio electronic devices mounted near
the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, highway overpasses,
tunnels, or overhead electrical power
wires
GPS is operated by the U.S. Department of
Defense. For security reasons, there are
certain inaccuracies built into 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.

107
uuSystem LimitationsuDatabase
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 conditionsEvery 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.
