System Initialization
122 Navigation System

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 o n p a g e 1 2 2 . )
• 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 123 .)
Entering the Security Code
If the battery goes dead or is
disconnected for any reason, you will
have to enter a security code for 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.
2010 TL

System Initialization
Navigation System123
If the navigation system fi nds the
satellites properly, this box clears and
the Disclaimer screen is shown. If
within 10 minutes the system fails to
locate a suffi cient number of satellites
to locate your position, the following
screen appears:
If the system is still unable to acquire
a signal, follow the instructions on the
screen, or contact your local dealer for
assistance.
NOTE:
The average acquiring time is less than
10 minutes.
Map Matching
This part of the initialization matches
the GPS coordinates found above with a
road on the map screen. To perform this
part of the procedure, ensure that the
navigation system is displaying a map,
and drive the vehicle on a mapped road
(a road shown on the map screen). Do
not enter a destination at this time.
When the name of the current road you
are driving on appears at the bottom
of the screen, the entire procedure is
complete. Your system is now ready to
use. Although your navigation system is one
of the most highly sophisticated pieces
of equipment you will fi
nd in a modern
automobile, you may fi nd during its use
that it has certain limitations.
The system uses GPS signals to aid
in determining its current location.
The GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies
built into the GPS that the navigation
system must constantly compensate for.
This can cause occasional positioning
errors of up to several hundred feet.
For example, in urban areas where
streets are close together, this could
cause the system to show that you are
traveling on a street that parallels the
street you are actually on. The system
will, under most circumstances, correct
itself while you drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Navigation System153
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 110 .
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
o n p a g e 110 ) .
See page 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 will continue to be in English.

Glossary
156 Navigation System
Initialization - This refers to the period
needed to reacquire the GPS satellite
orbital information whenever the
navigation system power has been
disconnected. This can take 10 to 45
minutes with the vehicle out in an
open area.
LCD - Liquid Crystal Display. The
navigation screen.
Map Matching - The received GPS information allows the navigation
system to position the vehicle on the
map. Map matching has occurred
if the map screen is displaying the

Mic -Abbreviation for the microphone
used for receiving voice commands.
It is located near the map lights in the
ceiling.
MW - Maneuver Window. While en
route to a destination, this window
displays information about the next

system.
North Pointer - The map symbol
showing the map orientation. See
page 62 .
Off road - This occurs when the user
leaves mapped roads. Off-road
tracking dots (“breadcrumbs”) are
displayed if the option is enabled in
the SETUP screen. The user can use
them to return to a mapped road. The
bottom of the navigation screen will
say, “Not on a digitized road.”
Outlying Areas - These are rural areas
that typically have only their main
roads mapped. All other roads are
shown in purple for reference only,
since they have not been verifi ed.
PIN - Personal Identifi cation Number.
A 4-digit number created by the
client to protect personal information. POI
- Point of Interest. These are the
businesses, schools, etc. found under
Place category or Place Name
on the MENU screen ( Dest. MENU

Polygon - Colored areas on the map
screen denoting parks, schools, etc.
See Map Screen “features” for a list
of the assigned colors. See page 55 .
Reminder - Automatic pop-up

Security Code - Code needed to activate the navigation system or
audio system. See Entering the
Security Code on page 122 .
Unverifi ed Streets - These streets have
not been verifi ed for turn restrictions,
one-way, etc. They are shown in
purple on the map. Unverifi ed streets
may be missing from the map, shown
in the wrong location, or have an
incorrect name or address range.
