Quick Reference GuideTroubleshootingFor more Information (P215)
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.
Why does my clock frequently change the time forward
and backward by one hour?
The clock setting is automatically updated based on your
GPS location. If you normally drive between two time
zones, the clock may keep adjusting the time. You can
turn this feature off.

Clock Adjustment P. 57
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.
How do I turn on the navigation system voice guidance?
1. Press the INFO button. Rotate i to select Set up and
press u. Check that Volume is not set to OFF.
2. Move y to select Other, rotate i to select Basic
Settings , and press u. Set Voice Recognition Tutor
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 VOL 9 (Volume/Power) button for two
seconds; the system should reactivate.

An apparent position error can occur where

reflect the GPS signals, forcing the system to use
“dead reckoning” to determine your location

Using this function to ad just vehicle position is
not recommended. When the system reacquires
a GPS signal, it will automatically place the
vehicle in the correct location.
If you continually have to adjust the vehicle
position, you may have problems with the GPS
reception or there may be database errors.

The SiriusXM® satellites are in orbit over the
equator; therefore, objec ts south of the vehicle
may cause satellite reception interruptions.
Satellite signals are more likely to be blocked by
tall buildings and mount ains the farther north
you travel from the equator.
You may experience reception problems under
the following circumstances:
•In a location with an obstruction to the south
of your vehicle
•In tunnels
•On the lower level of a multi-tiered road
•Large items are carried on the roof rack
