The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed every
time I start the car.This is normal. The Startup Confirmation screen reminds you and your guest drivers to
always operate the navigation system in a safe manner.
The navigation system reboots by itself (returns to the
opening screen).A reboot can be caused by extreme temper atures or shock from bumpy roads, and
does not necessarily indicate a problem. If this happens frequently, please see your
dealer.
How do I specify a destination when an entered city or
street could not be found?• Try entering the street first. Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. In
rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be missing or only partially
numbered.
• Try selecting the destinati on directly from the map.
2Map Input P. 88
Why do some letters become grayed out when I enter
an address?As you enter each letter in an address or a place/landmark, the navigation system

The navigation system pronunciation of street names
in the guidance command or destination address

your destination only if it can find a signific antly faster route than the original one.

alternate freeway with unknown flow speeds or
surface streets.The navigation system predicts which ro ute should be faster based on freeway
congestion along your route. Use your own experience to determine whether the
alternate route would be faster.

Troubleshooting
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short
distance behind, especially when I arrive at an
intersection.This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the width of intersections. Large
differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.
2GPS System P. 224

include at least one intersection.
2 Avoiding Streets P. 122
My elevation (shown when I display the current
position) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation
has not changed.This is normal. The elevation can vary ±100 feet due to GPS calculation errors.

My elevation is missing on the “current position”
screen.The elevation is only displayed if the GPS antenna can receive signals from at least four
satellites. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. The elevation is also not displayed
if the calculated elevation is zero or below sea level.
