Driving to Your Destination
Driving to Your Destination
A route typically has three phases.
 Initial route calculation (Calculate
route to screen) (see page50).
 Change the route while en route (see page70).
 Resume the route when restarting the engine (see Continue Trip Screen on
page74).
Calculate Route to Screen
Say or select OK. The system calculates
the route using the method shown on the
screen (see Map Screen on page53).
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.
 For information on the available voice commands, see Voice
Command Index on page146 Further selections from the
Calculate
route to screen include:
ADD TO Address Book

System Initialization
GPS Initialization
Depending on the length of time the
battery was disconnected, your system
may require GPS initialization. If it
does, the following screen appears:
If this procedure is not necessary, the
system proceeds directly to the
Disclaimer screen (see page17).
During initialization, the system
searches for all available GPS satellites,
and obtains their orbital information.
During this procedure the vehicle
should be out in th e open with a clear
view of the sky. If the navigation system finds the
satellites properly, this box clears, and
changes to the
Disclaimer screen. If
within ten minutes the system fails to
locate a sufficient number of satellites to
locate your position, the following
screen appears:
After 30 minutes with this screen
displayed, turn off the engine and restart
the car. If you now see the Disclaimer
screen, the GPS initialization is
complete. The green GPS icon should
appear in the upper left corner of the
screen. NOTE:
 The average acquiring time is less
than 10 minutes, but it can take as
long as 45 minutes.
 If the system is still unable to acquire a signal, follow the instructions on
the screen, or contact your local
dealer for assistance.
Map Matching
This part of the initialization matches
the GPS coordinates found above with a
road on the map screen. To perform this
part of the procedure, ensure that the
navigation system is displaying a map,
and drive the vehicle on a mapped road
(a road shown on the map screen). Do
not enter a destina tion at this time.
When the name of the current road you
are driving on appears at the bottom of
the screen, the entire procedure is
complete. Your system is now ready to
use.
Navigation system is unable to acquire
a proper GPS signal.
- Move vehicle to another location.
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Disconnect the battery for 30 minutes
to clear the GPS receiver’s memory.
- Reconnect the battery and follow
the screen prompts.
