System Setup
108 Navigation System
After selecting the choice, a map
screen will be displayed.
Rotate the Interface Dial knob
to select the map scale (available
scales are 1/20, 1/8, and 1/4 mile
scales). Use the Interface Dial to
move the crosshairs (red circle) to
the desired start point and push in on
the Interface Dial to “set” the start
point. Then move the Interface Dial
in a straight or diagonal direction to
encompass the area to be avoided.
NOTE:
The maximum size of the “Avoid area”
is 800 meters in length or width.
The selected area will be displayed as a
shaded box with a yellow border. Push
in on the Interface Dial to set the end
point of the avoided area. To “redraw”
the area, select CANCEL and repeat
the area selection process. Say or select OK
to return to the Edit
avoid area screen.
If your selected area contains a freeway,
the system will prompt you with a pop-
up box saying “Do you want to avoid
freeways? ” Answering “No” allows
you to enter a route through an avoided
area on a freeway and skip the “Avoid
area caution box” (see Pop-ups and
Disclaimers on page 72 ).
When you return to the Edit avoid
area screen, the “Vicinity” fi eld is
automatically fi lled in by the system.
Re-edit the area “Name” if desired.
Select OK on the Edit avoid area screen
to fi nish editing. Your new avoided area
will now appear on the “Avoid area” list
and be viewable on the map screen.
NOTE:
You can select areas to avoid, however
you cannot select roads or areas that
you want the system to use for routing.

System Initialization
Navigation System123

System Initialization
If for any reason you lose power to
the navigation system (e.g., the battery
was disconnected), the navigation
system will require initialization. Once
completed, your system will be ready
to use.
This initialization requires the
following:
• Entry of the 5-digit anti-theft security
code to “unlock” the audio and
navigation system.
• GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the length of
time the system was without power).
(See GPS Initialization on page 123 .)
• Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map
(displays current street at the bottom
of the map). (See Map Matching on
page 124 .)
Entering the Security Code
If the battery goes dead or is
disconnected for any reason, you will
have to enter a security code for both
the audio and navigation system before
you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle,
you should have received one card
containing the navigation system’s
security code and serial number. Keep
this card in a safe place in case you
need the code. If you lose the card, you
must obtain the security code from your
dealer.
Enter the 5-digit security code in
accordance with the owner’s manual
for your vehicle. If you do not enter the
security code, the navigation and audio
voice will not function.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is
unrelated to your optional navigation
system PIN (for Address Book or Home
Address) .
GPS Initialization
Depending on the length of time the
battery was disconnected, your system
may require GPS initialization. If it
does, the following screen appears:
If this procedure is not necessary,
the system proceeds directly to the
Disclaimer screen (see page 18 ).
During initialization, the system
searches for all available GPS satellites
and obtains their orbital information.
During this procedure, the vehicle
should be out in the open with a clear
view of the sky.
