System InitializationThe navigation system must be initialized if
power to the navigation system is
interrupted for any reason (e.g., the

reactivate the system.

the audio system.
2. Press and hold the 9 (Power) button
for more than two seconds.
The system is reac tivated when the
system’s control unit recognizes that
the system is in your vehicle.
If the control unit fails to recognize,
you must go to a dealer and have the
system checked.
Acquiring GPS InformationDepending on the length of time the
power was interrupted, your system may
require GPS initialization.
If initialization is not necessary, the system
proceeds directly to the Startup

If the system fails to locate a sufficient
number of satellites to locate your position
within 10 minutes, the following screen is
displayed.

Startup Confirmation ScreenThe Startup Confirmation screen is
displayed when initialization has
successfully completed. It is displayed every
time you start your vehicle. Press u to
select OK to continue.
Map MatchingMap matching is the process of using the
acquired GPS information to locate your
position on the map screen. If you are on a
mapped road, the name of the road is
displayed along the bottom of the map
screen when map matching is completed.
Do not enter a destination until the road
name is displayed.
The system may initially show your location
on a different street (e.g., in urban areas
where streets are close together), may
show an incorrect elevation, or may delay
the display of the vehicle position icon at
intersections. This is normal; the system
will correct itself while you drive.
