System Initialization
System Initialization
If for any reason you lose power to the
navigation system (e.g., 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 5-digit anti-theft security code to “unlock” the audio and
navigation system.
• GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the length of time the
system was without power). (See
GPS Initialization on page127.)
• Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map
(displays current street at the bottom
of the map). (See Map Matching on
page 128.)
Entering the Security Code
If the battery goes dead or is
disconnected for any reason, you will
have to enter a security code for the
audio and navigation system before you
can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you
should have received one card
containing the navigation system’s
security code and serial number. Keep
this card in a safe place in case you need
the code. If you lose the card, you must
obtain the security code from your
dealer.
Enter the 5-digit security code in
accordance with the owner’s manual for
your vehicle. If you do not enter the
security code, the navigation and audio
voice will not function.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated
to your optional navigation system PIN
(for Address Book or Home Address).
GPS Initialization
Depending on the le ngth 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 page 18).
During initialization, the system
searches for all available GPS satellites
and obtains their orbital information.
During this procedure, the vehicle
should be out in the open with a clear
view of the sky.
