Driving to Your Destination
Destination IconThe destination icon only shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block.) Since most cities
use only a portion of the 100 possible
addresses (for example, in the 1400
block, the addresses may only go up to
1425 before the 1500 block starts).
Therefore, the address 1425 will be
shown a quarter of the way down the
block by the system instead of near the
end of the block where the destination is
actually located.
Tip:
When en route, you can view a map
showing your destination. Using voice
control, say “Display destination map.”
Various Other IconsLandmark IconsLandmark icons are shown in the map
screen on 1/20 and 1/8 mile scales. The
Freeway exit information is displayed
on the 1/4, 1/2, and 1 mile scales. The
icons are:One-Way Traffic IconThe one-way traffic icons (see Map
Screen Legend on page 56) are only
shown on the 1/20 mile scale. Some icons can be turned on or off. To
hide or display icons, use the
Interface
Dial to select Map Information from
the Map menu, and select Show Icon
on Map (see page 62). You can also
hide or display icons by using voice
commands (see page 164).
You can select most landmark, traffic,
or weather icons with the Interface
Dial to display the icon’s information.
See the table on page 69 for exceptions.
NOTE:
 The same icon list can be viewed on the screen by selecting Map Legend
from the Map information screen in
the Map menu .
 When there are overlapping landmark icons, a list of the points of
interest (POIs) is displayed when
selected.

Auto Time ZoneSets automatic time zone selection by
GPS to ON or OFF . If you are driving
across the country and passing through
time zones, then this feature will
automatically set the time to the time
zone you are traveling through.
However, if you live and work in two

turn this feature off.
NOTE:
When driving near a time zone
boundary, the displayed time zone may
fluctuate between the two zone times.
Time AdjustmentAdjusts the current time in hours and
minutes. Select ADJUST TIME by
moving the Interface Dial up, and then
switch HOUR and MINUTE by moving
the Interface Dial to the left and right
and changing the va lue by rotating the
Interface Dial knob . Selecting OK

System SetupAfter you have traveled approximately
1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the
system will display a series of white
dots on the map screen to show the path
you have traveled. This is provided so
you can follow the dots to backtrack to
the mapped road you originally left.
Tracking continues until you reach a
mapped road. See Off-road Tracking on
page 71.
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile scales. Rotate the
Interface Dial knob to change the
scale if necessary.
NOTE:
To clear existing dots, turn this feature
OFF and exit SETUP. To re-enable this
feature, return to SETUP and turn it on
again.
Correct Vehicle PositionThe system relies on satellites for
positioning information. Buildings,
tunnels, and other objects can block or
reflect these signals, requiring the
system to use “dead reckoning” to
determine your loca tion and direction.
This can sometimes lead to small errors
in positioning, such as showing you on
an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle
position is not recommended. When the
system acquires a GPS signal, it will
automatically place the vehicle in the
correct location.
If you choose to do this, follow these
steps: 1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Select
Correct Vehicle Position ,
and the system will display the
Correct vehicle position screen.
3. Use the Interface Dial to move the
vehicle position arrowhead to the
correct location, and push in on the
Interface Dial . The display will

System Initialization
System InitializationIf 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 page 127.)
 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 CodeIf 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 InitializationDepending 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 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.
