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.

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.
