Frequently Asked Questions
Navigation System147
Guidance, Routing
Problem Solution
The navigation system does not route me the same way
I would go, or the way some other mapping program
displays. Why is this? The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See
Changing
the Routing Method on page 53 .
The navigation wants to route me around potential traffi c
problems. How do I stop these pop-up messages? This feature can be turned off. See
Traffi c Rerouting on page 110 .
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has
been here for more than a year. The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See pag
e 130 for
ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
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. • The GPS antenna (located on the back of the navigation display) may
be blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the
dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on page 125 .
I entered a destination, but the blue highlighted route
and voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue /pink
dashed line before I got to my destination. Why is this? Your route has entered an unverifi
ed area. See Unverifi ed Area Routing on
pag e 103 .
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop
this? Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by selecting North-up
from
the Map menu. See Map Orientation on page 63 .
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations. Why is this? The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales (1/20
- 1 mile scales). See
Map Scale on page 62 .
While driving to my destination, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer. The “Time to go” is based on actual road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffi
c, the system updates the “Time
to go” based of your actual 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. Is there anything wrong? No. When at an intersection, the system is unaware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See
GPS Reception Issues on page 125 .

Frequently Asked Questions
150 Navigation System
Display, Accessories
Problem Solution
The display appears dim when starting the car in really
cold weather. Is there a problem? No. This is normal, and it will become brighter after a few minutes.
Rear Camera
Problem
Solution
When I shift gears, the rear camera image is delayed. When shifting into or out of reverse, you may experience delays when the screen image switches between the navigation screen and the rear camera
image. This is normal.
The rear camera image is too dark or too bright. How do
I adjust the brightness? While the camera image is displayed, use the rotating portion of the
Interface Dial
(knob ) to adjust the brightness. This adjustment does not
affect the Setup screen brightness adjustments.
Miscellaneous Other Questions
Problem Solution
My clock frequently changes forward and backward by
one hour. Why is this? The clock is being automatically set based on your GPS location. If you live
and work on the boundary between two time zones, you can turn off this
feature. See pag
e 112 (Auto Time Zone).
When driving near a time zone border, the time changes
even though I am not near the time zone. Why is this? The time zone borders are only approximated in the system. Depending on
the geography of the time zone boundary, the switch to a different zone can
be erratic. See pag
e 112 (Auto Time Zone).
My state does not observe daylight saving time. How do
I turn off this feature? You can turn off this feature. See page
111 (Auto Daylight).
Daylight saving time occurred, but the navigation system
did not change time even though SETUP shows Auto
Daylight is ON. The automatic daylight saving time feature does not work in regions where
the daylight saving time system is not adopted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Navigation System151
Problem Solution
The navigation system automatic daylight time feature is
not switching the navigation system clock on the correct
dates. Why is this? 1) Go to the Clock adjustment
screen in SETUP and ensure that Auto
Daylight is ON.
2) The automatic daylight saving time feature does not work in regions where the daylight saving time system is not adopted.
For more information, see Clock Adjustment on page 111 .
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no
apparent reason. What can cause this? You may be driving near a time zone boundary (see
Auto Daylight on page
111 ). See pag e 111 (Auto Time Zone) for more information.
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the
navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I fi nd
this code? There should be a card in the glove box with the anti-theft code for the
navigation/audio system. This card contains the 5-digit security code and
serial number. If you cannot fi
nd it, your dealer can help you out.
I speak a language other than English. Are there any
other languages available for the system? Besides English, you may select French or Spanish for your language setting.
However, messages and voice guidance will continue to be in English.
