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.
