Frequently Asked Questions
Map, and Features, Voice Operation, Entering Addresses
Problem Solution
Why does the Disclaimer screen need to be displayed every
time I start the car? I am the only driver. The
Disclaimer screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always
operate the navigation sy stem in a safe manner.
The Setup or Information screen has “grayed out” items that
I cannot select. Why? You need to select
OK on the Disclaimer screen to view these items. See
System Function Diagram on page 26.
I tried entering an address, but th e city or street could not be
found. Is there any other way to route to the location? Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area Try entering the street
first. In rural “unverified” areas
or new subdivisions, streets may be
missing, or only partiall y numbered. Try selecting the destination directly
from the map. See By Map Input on page 45.
When I enter an address, some letters become grayed out. Is
this normal? Yes, as you enter each letter in an addr
ess or a point of interest (POI), the
system looks in the databa se to see what letters are possible and “grays out”
letters that do not apply.
How do I delete Personal Address, Previous Destinations, or
the Home Address? This is done in Setup, under “P
ersonal Information.” See page 84.
I cannot hear the navigation system voice. 1) Ensure that Volume in the Setup screen (first) is not OFF. See page 83.
2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the Setup screen (second), and set Voice
Recognition Feedback to ON . See page 90.
The voice control system is ha ving difficulty recognizing my
Voice commands. Ensure that the vents are not blowi
ng on the microphone on the ceiling, the
vehicle is as quiet as possible, and that you are using the correct command
when speaking (See Improving Voice Recognition on page 14). Say “Help”
at any screen to see a list of the applicable voice commands.
When the system pronounces the street name in the guidance
command, or reads the destinat ion address it sounds strange.
What causes this? The basic guidance phrase uses a studio
-recorded voice, but the street name
is pronounced by the system us ing a machine-generated voice.
Consequently, the name may be misp ronounced or sound strange at times.
When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch
to the night display mode. Why? Verify the following: The disp
lay mode in Setup is set to Night mode, the
dash brightness is not set to maximum, and Map Color in Setup is set to
Black for Night. See Switching Display Mode on page 104.

Navigation System129
Frequently Asked Questions
The daytime map screen is dark like the night display mode,
and it is hard to see. Why? Verify the following: The disp
lay mode in Setup is set to Day mode, and
Map Color in Setup is set to White for Day. See Switching Display Mode
on page 104.
During the day, I turned on the lights because it started to
rain, but the screen went dark. How can I make it still display
day mode? Adjust the dash brightness (+) knob to fu
ll brightness. Remember to set it
back to a medium setting, or at ni ght, the screen will be bright. See
Switching Display Mode on page 104.
How can I input my destination using map coordinates? The navigation system was not designed for this. However, you can view
the coordinates of an address by pushing in on the Interface Dial, selecting
Show Icon on Map , and moving the Interface Dial left to select
Current Location . See Displaying Current Location on page 21
How do I change or remove my PIN? Go to “Personal Information” in the Setup screen (second) , and select PIN
Number . Enter your existing PIN, and then you have the choice to change
or remove the PIN. See page 88.
I forget the PIN. How do I reset it? PINs are optional. See information regarding PINs on page 88. Your dealer
can reset the PIN for you.
I change my setup settings, bu t they are not saved when I
restart the vehicle. Verify that your Remote Keyless
Entry is linked (The MID shows
“Welcome drive 1” or “Welcome dr iver 2”). See page 18 for additional
information.
I cannot access my Calendar or Address Book. Why?
CALL is not available on the Calculate route to screen.
Why? Your phone is not “paired” to the HFL,
or if your phone is “paired,” it is in
use; press HFL BACK button.

ProblemSolution
My Real-Time Traffic is mi ssing and is not displaying
properly. What is wrong? Verify the following:
 Check the traffic icon on the icon bar,
and the icon options for traffic.

 Ensure that you have the correct remo te (the settings for driver 1 and
driver 2 are set independently by each driver).
