Map, Voice, Entering Destinations
ProblemSolution
The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed every
time I start the car.This is normal. The Startup Confirmation screen reminds you and your guest drivers to
always operate the navigation system in a safe manner. If you do not select OK at
startup, voice commands will not work.
The navigation system reboots by itself (returns to the
opening screen).A reboot can be caused by extreme temper atures or shock from bumpy roads, and
does not necessarily indicate a problem. If this happens frequently, please see a dealer.
How do I specify a destination when an entered city or
street could not be found?• Try entering the street first. Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. In
rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be missing or only partially
numbered.
• Try selecting the destinati on directly from the map.
2Map Input P. 89
Why do some letters become grayed out when I enter
an address?As you enter each letter in an address or a place/landmark, the navigation system
looks in the database to see what letters are possible and grays out letters that do not
apply.
How do I delete Personal Addresses, Previous
Destinations, or the Home Address?1. Press the INFO button. Select Set up > Personal Information to display the types
of information.
2. Select the type of address to delete.

inoperable while the vehicle is moving. Use voice commands or pull over to proceed.
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.
2. Press the INFO button. Select Set up > Other > Color > Map Color . Set the Night
color to Black for the best contrast.

2PIN Numbers P. 42
I have forgotten my PIN. How do I reset the PIN for
Home or the PIN for personal addresses (DRIVER 1 or
DRIVER 2)?A dealer must reset the PIN for you.

Guidance, Routing
ProblemSolution
The navigation system does not route me the same
way I would go or the same way as other mapping
systems.The navigation system attempts to generate the optimal route. You can change the
route preferences used when calculating a route.
2Changing the Route Preference P. 92
The navigation system wants to route me around
potential traffic problems. How do I stop these pop-up
messages?Press the INFO button. Select Set up > Other > Routing & Guidance, and set Traffic
Rerouting to OFF .

recent information on the internet.
2Map Coverage P. 235
The vehicle position icon is not following the road and
the “GPS icon” text in th e upper left hand corner of
the screen is white or missing.• Check that the GPS antenna (located in the dashboard) is not blocked. For best reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones,
or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devi ces can interfere with the GPS reception.
Please consult a dealer.
2 GPS System P. 232
The blue highlighted route and voice guidance
stopped or turned into a blue/pink dashed line before I
got to my destination.Your route has entered an unverified area.
2Unverified Area Routing P. 50
How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive along?Press the ENTER button to display the Map Menu. Select Map Information > North-
up , or say d “Display north-up” to change the map orientation.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations.The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales (1/20 - 1 mile
scales).
2Map Scale and Functions P. 112
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.
