Troubleshooting
For more Information
(P209)
Why does the vehicle position icon on the map “lag” a short distance behind my actual position, especially at intersections? 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. Why does the “time to dest
ination” display sometimes
increase even though I am getting closer to my destination? The “time to destination” is based on the posted road speed signs and your actual road speed to give you a better estimate of arrival time. Why does my clock frequently change the time forward and backward by one hour? The clock setting is automatically updated based on your GPS location. If you normally drive between two time zones, the clock may keep adjusting the time. You can turn this feature off. 2Clock Adjustment
P. 58
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. How do I turn on the navigation system voice guidance? 1.Press the INFO/PHONE button. Rotate

if you want the system

and system prompts.My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find it? Your vehicle comes with a card in the glove box that includes the 5-digit security code and serial number. You should keep this card in a safe place outside your vehicle. If you cannot find it, contact your dealer. QRG

22System Setup
Voice Control SystemYour vehicle has a voice con
trol system that allows hand
s-free operation of most of
the navigation system functions. You can also control the audio and climate control system, and make and rece
ive phone ca
lls using
Bluetooth
® HandsFreeLink®.
The voice control system uses the
d
(Talk) and
K
(Back) buttons on the steering
wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling. A “Voice Help” feature provides a tutorial that explains how to use the voice 2Voice Help
P. 5
Command InputIf the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a command, it responds with “Pardon,” “Please repeat,” or “Would you say again.” When you give a command, the system ge
nerally either repeats the command as a
confirmation or asks you for further informa
tion. If you do not wish to hear this
feedback, you can turn it off. However, list
ening to the feedback will help familiarize
you with the way the system expe
cts commands to be phrased.
2Basic Settings
P. 26
If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the screen you are on, the system beeps. If the system responds with prompts such
as “Please use the Interface Dial to…” or
“Please choose an area with the Interface Di
al,” the system is as
king for input that
cannot be performed using the voice control system.On character input screens, a list of possi
ble characters is displayed if the system
does not recognize your command. You can find out which voice commands are available for a particular screen using the
d
Help command. The system will disp
lay and read the list of available
commands to you.
