Frequently Asked Questions
Daylight savings time occurred, but the navigation system did
not change time even though Setup shows “Auto Daylight” is
“ON.” Go to the Clock Adjustment
screen in Setup and simply turn off the auto
daylight savings time feature, select Time Adjustment , and adjust your
clock
using the Interface Dial by one hour. For more information, see
Clock Adjustment on page 99.
The navigation system automatic daylight time feature is not
switching the navigation system clock on the correct dates.
Why is this? The Navigation system is designed to
switch to daylight savings time in
April/October. For more information, see Clock Adjustment on page 99.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no
apparent reason. Wh at can cause this? 1) You may be near a ti
me zone boundary…(Covered in the other “clock”
FAQs)
2) The navigation system is still swit ching per the old Daylight savings
schedule (April/October). Set the “Auto Daylight” to “OFF” on the
Clock Adjustment screen in Setup. Manually adjust the clock by one
hour as needed. See page 99 for more information.
My battery was disconnected, or went dead, and the
navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find this
code? There should have been a card in the
glove box with the anti-theft code for
the navigation/audio system. This card contains the 4-digit security code
and serial number. If you cannot find it, your de aler can help you out.
I speak a language other than English. When will other
languages be available fo r the navigation system? This is being considered
as a future enhancement.
