Quick Reference GuideTroubleshootingFor more Information (P291)
Why does the vehicle position icon on the map “lag” a 
short distance behind my actual position, especially at 
intersections?
This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the 
width of intersections. Large differences in vehicle position 
can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.
Why does the “time to destination” display sometimes 
increase even though I am getting closer to my 
destination?
The “time to destination” is based on your actual road 
speed and traffic conditions to give you a better estimate 
of arrival time.
How do I specify a destination when an entered city or 
street could not be found?
Try entering the street first. So me cities are lumped in with 
a major metro area. In rural “unverified” areas or new 
subdivisions, streets may be missing or only partially 
numbered.How do I turn on the navigation system voice guidance?
1. Press the SETTINGS button. Rotate  i to select  System 
Settings  and press u . Check that Volume is not set to 
0 .
2. Move  w or y  to select Voice Rec.  Set Voice Prompt  
to  On  if you want the system to provide confirmations 
and system prompts.
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the 
navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find it?
In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. Simply 
press and hold the  9 (Power) button for two seconds; the 
system should reactivate.

The “time to destination” display sometimes increases 
even though I am getting closer to my destination.If your speed reduces due to slower traffic,  the navigation system updates the “time to 
destination” based on your actual road speed to give you a better estimate of arrival 
time.

distance behind, especially when I arrive at an 
intersection.This is normal. The navigation system is un aware of the width of intersections. Large

Reference Information
In addition, the map database contains 
verified and unverified areas. Unverified 
streets may be missing from the map, in 
the wrong location, or have an incorrect 
name or address range. A message will 
warn you if your route includes unverified 
streets. Exercise additional caution when 
driving in unve rified areas.
The database does not  include, analyze, 
process, consider, or reflect any of the 
following categories of information:
• Neighborhood quality or safety
• Population density
• Availability or proximity of law 
enforcement
• Emergency, rescue, medical, or other 
assistance
• Construction work,  zones, or hazards
• Road and lane closures
• Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, 
weight, load, height, and speed 
restrictions)
• Road slope or grade
• Bridge height, width, weight, or other 
limits
• Traffic facilities safety
• Special events •
Pavement characteristics or conditions
Every effort has been made to verify that 
the database is accurate. The number of 
inaccuracies you experience increases the 
longer you go without obtaining an 
updated map database.
