About Your Multi-View Rear Camera
Your vehicle is equipped with a multi-view rear camera. When you shift into Reverse, 
the rear view is displayed  on the audio/information screen. The edge of the bumper 
and parking guide lines are also displayed.
Rotate   to adjust the screen 
brightness.
While the rear view is displayed, 
press   to switch between WIDE, 
NORMAL, and TOP DOWN view 
modes.1Multi-View Rear Camera
Always keep the camera lens clean and 
unobstructed. The multi-view  rear camera has a lens 
that makes distances appear different than they 
actually are. Always take  care when reversing, and 
look behind you for obstacles.
Navigation controls are disabled when in Reverse.
Adjusting the brightness fo r the multi-view rear 
camera display does not a ffect the brightness for the 
navigation screen.
If you turn the guide lines off, they remain off until 
you turn them back on.
The last used viewing mode  is selected the next time 
you shift into Reverse.  However, once the power 
mode is set to VEHICLE OFF (LOCK), WIDE mode is 
selected if TOP DOWN view was last used.
You can change the  Fixed Guideline and Dynamic 
Guideline settings.

The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed 
every time I start the car.This is normal. The Startup Confirmati on screen reminds you and your guest 
drivers to always operate the navigation  system in a safe manner. The Startup 
Confirmation screen goes off after a certain  period of time and the top screen of 
the last mode is displayed.
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 de stination 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 destination directly from the map.
2 Map Input  P. 138
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  SETTINGS  button. Select  Navi Settings > Personal Info  to display 
the types of information.
2. Select the type of address to delete.
3. Select  Delete.
I cannot hear the navigation system voice.1.Press the  SETTINGS  button. Select  System Settings  and check that Guidance 
Volume  is not set to  0.
2. Select  Voice Reco  and set Voice Prompt to  On.

Route screen?Your phone is not paired to  Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink ® or, if paired, your phone 
is in use.

The voice control system  is having difficulty 
recognizing my voice commands.Check that the vents are not blowing air  onto the microphone on the ceiling, the 
vehicle is as quiet as po ssible, and you are using  the correct command when 
speaking.
2 Voice Recognition  P. 23

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. 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-re corded 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 brightness control is not set to maximum.
2. Press the  SETTINGS  button. Select  Navi Settings > Map >  Color (Night) .

The navigation system sometimes provides a detour 
route when I am driving a route on the freeway/
highway.If Traffic Rerouting is set to  On, the navigation system provides a detour route 
to your destination only if it can find a si gnificantly faster route than the original 
one.
2 Traffic Rerouting  P. 58
The navigation system routes  me to an exit and an 
alternate freeway/highway  with unknown flow 
speeds or surface streets.The navigation system predicts which r oute should be faster based on freeway/
highway congestion along your route. Us e your own experience to determine 
whether the alternate route would be faster.
How can I ignore the detour route and return to the 
original route?Press the SETTINGS  button. Select Navi Settings > Routing , and set Traffic 
Rerouting  to Off .

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 gene rate 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 undergoing revision. You can access the most 
recent information on the internet.
2Map Coverage  P. 337
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. 334
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 .
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 ac tual 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.
