Troubleshooting
I cannot select an option using the Interface Dial.To reduce potential driver distraction, ce rtain onscreen functions and features are
limited or inoperable while the vehicle is moving.
The navigation system pronunciation of street names
in the guidance command or destination address
sounds strange.The basic guidance phrases use a studio- recorded voice, but street names are
pronounced using a machine-generated voice. Consequently, the name may be
mispronounced or sound strange at times.
The screen is bright when I drive at night.1. Check that the nighttime dashboard brig htness control is not set to maximum.

Reference Information
System Limitations
GPS
The signals received from the GPS satellites
are extremely weak (less than a millionth
of the strength of a local FM station) and
require an unobstructed view of the sky.
The GPS antenna is located in the
dashboard. The signal reception can easily
be interrupted or interfered with by the
following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side
windows
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic
devices docked in a cradle or lying loose
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle
tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devices mounted near
the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, highway
overpasses, tunnels, or overhead
electrical power wires
The GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built
into the GPS for wh ich the navigation
system must constantly compensate. This can cause occasional positioning errors of
up to several hundred feet.
Address Calculation
The destination icon shows only the
approximate location of a destination
address. This occurs if the number of
possible addresses is different from the
number of actual addresses on a block. For
example, the address 1425 on a 1400
block with 100 possible addresses
(because it is followed by the 1500 block)
will be shown a quarter of the way down
the block by the system. If there are only
25 actual addresses
on the block, the
actual location of address 1425 would be
at the end of the block.
Database
The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various points
in time before production. Accordingly,
your database may contain inaccurate or
incomplete data or information due to the
passage of time, road construction,
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may
be missing when you search the database
because the name was misspelled, the
place was improperly categorized, or a
place/landmark is not yet in the database.
This is also true for police stations,
hospitals, and other public institutions. Do
not rely on the navigation system if you
need law enforcement or hospital services.
Always check with local information
sources.

345
System LimitationsDatabase
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.
2 Obtaining a Navigation Update P. 347

may result from an error in the program, or
from changed conditions not noted above.

Continuously updated traffic information is
available in major metropolitan areas
across the 48 contiguous states and some
cities in Canada. A list of coverage areas is
available online.

Operation in Alaska,
Hawaii, Canada, Puerto
Rico, and Mexico
All roads displayed on the map screens are
verified roads. Information in this manual
relating to “unverified” roads or areas is
not applicable.
Entering a destination address or place/
landmark on another island may result in a
screen caution messag e. This is because
there are no ferry routes between islands
in the database.
If Street Name Guidance is set to On, the
street names will not be read out by voice
guidance. This may change in a future data
update.
