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.
