By Places
After you select Places from the Enter

changes to:
There are four ways to find a place or
point of interest (POI), by Category,
Name , Phone Number , or ZAGAT
2007 .
Let’s assume you want to find a coffee
shop (restaurant) called “Bucks.”
 If you know the phone number of the coffee shop, select Phone Number,
then enter the 10-digit number with
area code. This is the quickest way to
find it.  The second best method is to select
Category , then Restaurant , and
enter the keyword “Bucks.” The list
will include all restaurants that have
the letters “bucks” anywhere in the
name.
 You can try to enter “Bucks” using Name , but you may have to search
through a list that might include
Bucks Welding, Bu cks Surplus, etc.
NOTE:
 Prior to departure, you can set areas to avoid. The system then includes
them in its calculations for the
destination you have entered. See
Edit Avoid Area on page96.
 You can enter the desired destination using the voice control system. For
information on the available voice

System Initialization
System Initialization
If for any reason, you lose power to the
navigation system (like the battery was
disconnected), the navigation system
will require initialization. Once
completed, your system will be ready to
use.
This initialization requires the
following:
 Entry of the 4-digit anti-theft security code to “unlock” the navigation
system.
 GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the le ngth of time the
system was without power).
 Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map
(displays current street at the bottom
of the map).
Entering the Security Code
If the battery goes dead or is
disconnected for any reason, you will
have to enter a secur ity code for both the
audio system and the navigation system
before you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you
should have received two cards that
have the audio and navigation system’s
security codes and serial numbers. Keep
these cards in a sa fe place in case you
need the codes. If you lose the cards,
you must obtain the security codes from
your dealer. Enter the four-digit s
ecurity code. If you
have entered it corr ectly, the display
changes to the Disclaimer screen. If
you make a mistake, the system will
display “INCORRECT PIN.” Re-enter
your 4-digit security code. You have ten
chances to enter the correct code. If all
ten are incorrect, turn the ignition to
OFF, then back to ON (II) to have ten
more chances to enter the correct code.
Follow the instructio ns in the vehicle
Owner’s manual to enter the 5-digit
audio code. The navigation voice will
not operate if the audio code is not
entered.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated
to your optional Navigation system PIN
(for Personal or Home Address).

Frequently Asked Questions
Daylight savings time occurred, but the navigation system did
not change time even though Se tup shows “Auto Daylight” is
“ON.” Go to the
Clock adjustment screen in Setup and select DST Selection.
Ensure that the correct DST schedule is selected. 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? 1) Go to the
Clock adjustment screen in Setup and ensure that Auto
Daylight is ON .
2) The navigation system is designed to switch to daylight savings time
according to the months selected in the DST schedule selection screen.
Ensure that the appropriate schedule is selected. For more information,
see Clock Adjustment on page99.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no
apparent reason. Wh at can cause this? 1) You may be driving near
a time zone boundary (see Auto Time Zone on
page
100).
2) The navigation system does not, or incorrectly switches between
standard and Daylight Savings Time. Set Auto Daylight to ON on the
Clock adjustment screen in Setup, and ensu re that the correct month
switching schedule is chosen on the DST schedule selection screen.
See page
100 for more information.
3) Your remotes may not be linked. Fo llow the linking procedure covered in
the main Owner's Manual.
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.
