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.
2 Route Preference P. 54
The navigation system wants to route me around
potential traffic problems. How do I stop these pop-
up messages?Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Routing, and set Traffic
Rerouting to Off .
2Traffic Rerouting P. 58
The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.The mapping database is constantly under going revision. You can access the most
recent information on the internet.
2 Map Coverage P. 339
The vehicle position icon is not following the road
and the “GPS icon” text in the upper left hand
corner of the screen is white or missing.This is normal. The signals received from the GPS satellites are extremely weak and
can easily be interrupted or interfered as your vehicle travel near tall buildings or
in tunnels. Check your vehicle surroundings for anything that may be blocking the
reception. If this happens frequently and there is no obstruction that interfering
the reception, please see a dealer.
2 GPS System P. 336
The blue highlighted route and voice guidance
stopped or turned into a blue/pink line before I got
to my destination.Your route has entered an unverified area.
2Unverified Routing P. 56
How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive
along?Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Map > View > North-Up , or
say “ Display north-up ” to change the map orientation.
The “time to destination” display sometimes
increases even though I am getting closer to my
destination.If your speed reduces due to slower tra ffic, the navigation system updates the
“time to destination” based on your actual road speed to give you a better
estimate of arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short
distance behind, especially when I arrive at an
intersection.This is normal. The navigati on system is unaware of the width of intersections.
Large differences in vehicle position ca n indicate a temporary loss of the GPS
signal.

The screen is showing wh ite dots as I drive along.These dots are called “breadcr umbs.” These are displayed if Display Tracking is
set to On.
How do I remove the white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
from my screen?Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Map, set Display Tracking to
Off or select Delete Tracking to remove the white dots from the map.
2Display Tracking P. 84
A road that I selected to avoid is being used when
routing.When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that
include at least one intersection.
2 Avoided Area P. 60
My elevation (shown when I display the current
position) seems to fluc tuate even though my
elevation has not changed.This is normal. The elevation can vary ±100 ft (±30 m) due to GPS calculation
errors.
2 GPS System P. 336
My elevation is missing on the “current position”
screen.The elevation is only displayed if the GPS antenna can receive signals from at least
four satellites. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. The elevation is also not
displayed if the calculated elevation is zero or below sea level.

My city is not part of a fully verified detailed
coverage area.The mapping database is constantly under going revision. You can access the most
recent information on the internet.
2 Map Coverage P. 339
Does the navigation system work outside North
America?The navigation system contains maps for the 50 U.S. states, Canada, Puerto Rico,
and Mexico. The navigation system will not work in other countries.
2 Map Coverage P. 339
How do I report errors I find in the database?Minor errors are bound to occur in a large database. If you encounter major errors,
see your dealer.
2Visiting a Dealer P. 338
ProblemSolution
The display appears dim when starting the car in
really cold weather.This is normal. The display will become brighter after a few minutes.
ProblemSolution
When I shift gears, the rear camera image display is
delayed.This is normal. When shifti ng into or out of Reverse, you may experience a delay
while the screen image switches between the audio/information screen and the
rear camera image.
The rear camera image is too dark or too bright.
How do I adjust the brightness?While the camera image is displayed, ro tate the Interface Dial to adjust the
brightness. This adjustment does not affect the navigation screen brightness
settings.

uuSystem Initialization uStartup Confirmation Screen
Reference Information
Startup Confirmation
Screen
The Startup Confirmation screen is
displayed when initialization has
successfully completed. It is displayed every
time you start your vehicle. Press to
select OK to continue.
Map Matching
Map matching is the process of using the
acquired GPS information to locate your
position on the map screen. If you are on a
mapped road, the name of the road is
displayed along the bottom of the map
screen when map matching is completed.
Do not enter a destination until the road
name is displayed.
The system may initially show your location
on a different street (e.g., in urban areas
where streets are close together), may show
an incorrect elevation, or may delay the
display of the vehicle position icon at
intersections. This is normal; the system will
correct itself while you drive.

Reference Information
System Limitations
GPS System
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 roof. The
signal reception can easily be interrupted or
interfered with by trees, tall buildings,
freeway/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 bu ilt into the GPS for
which the navigation system must
constantly compensate. This can cause
occasional positioning errors of up to
several hundred feet or tens of meters.
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 addr esses 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 stat ions, 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.
In addition, the map database contains
verified and unverifie d 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
unverified areas.

uuSystem Limitations uDatabase
Reference Information
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. 339
We assume no liability for any incident that
may result from an error in the program, or
from changed conditions not noted above.

uuClient Assistance uMap Coverage
Reference Information
Map Coverage

landmark on another island may result in a
screen caution message. This is because
