Frequently Asked Questions
Daylight saving time occurred, but the navigation system did
not change time even though SETUP shows Auto Daylight
is ON . The automatic daylight saving time feature does not work in regions where
the daylight saving time system is not adopted.
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 automatic daylight saving time feature does not work in regions where the daylight saving time system is not adopted.
For more information, see page 114.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no
apparent reason. What can cause this? You may be driving near a time zone boundary (see
Auto Daylight on
page 114). See page 115 (Auto Time Zone) 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 be a card in the glove
box with the anti-theft code for the
navigation/audio system. This card contains the 5-digit security code and
serial number. If you cannot find it, your dealer can help you out.
I speak a language other than English. Are there any other
languages available for the system? Besides English, you may select Français or Español for your language
setting.
