222Reference Information
System InitializationThe navigation system must be initialized if power to the navigation system is interrupted for any reason (e.g., the battery was disconnected).Entering the Security CodeWhen you purchased the vehicle, you should have received a card with the navigation system security code and serial number. Keep this card in a safe place. If you lose the card, you must obtain the security code from your dealer. 1.Press the VOLUME button to activate the audio system.2.Enter the 5-digit security code
when
prompted using the radio
preset buttons.
Acquiring GPS InformationDepending on the length of time the power was interrupted, your system may require GPS initialization. If initialization is not necessary, the system proceeds directly to the Startup Confirmation screen. If the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your
position
within 10 minutes, the following
screen is displayed.
If you are experiencing GPS
reception problems:

Confirmation Screen
The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed when initialization has successfully completed. It is displayed every time you start your vehicle. Press
u
to

OK
to continue.
Map MatchingMap matching is the process of using the acquired GPS information to locate your position on the map screen. If you are on a mapped road, the name of the road is displayed along the bottom of the map screen when map matching is completed. Do not enter a destination until the road name is displayed. The system may initially show your location on a different street (e.g., in urban areas where streets are close together), may show an incorrect elevation, or may delay the display of the vehi
cle position icon at
intersections. This is
normal; the system
will correct itself while you drive.

224Reference Information
System LimitationsGPS SystemThe signals received from the GPS
satellites
are extremely weak (less than a
millionth of the strength of a local FM
station) and require an unobstructed view of sky. The GPS antenna is located in the dashboard.
The signal reception can
easily be
interrupted or interfered with by
the following:
•Metallic window tint on the front or side windows•Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle or lying loose on the dashboard•Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle tracking systems mounted near the navigation unit•Audio electronic devices mounted near the navigation unit•Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead electrical power wiresThe GPS is operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. For security reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built into the GPS for wh
ich the navigation
system must constantly compensate. This
can cause occasional positioning errors of up to several hundred feet.Address CalculationThe destination icon shows only the approximate location of a destination address. This occurs if the number of possible addresses is different from the number of actual addresses on a block. e.g., the address 1425 on a 1400 block with 100 possible addresses (because it is followed by the 1500 block) will be
shown
a quarter of the way down the
block by
the system. If there are only 25
actual addresses on the block, the actual
location of address 1425 would be at the end of the block.
DatabaseThe digitized map database reflects conditions as they existed at various points in time before production. Accordingly, your database may contain inaccurate or incomplete data or information due to the passage of time, road construction, changing conditions, or other causes. For example, some places/landmarks may be missing when you search the database because the name was misspelled, the place was improperly categorized, or a place/landmark is not yet in the database. This is also true for police stations, hospitals, and other public institutions.
Do
not rely on the navigation system if
you
need law enforcement or hospital
services.
Always check with local
information sources.

Database
In addition, the map database contains verified and unverified areas. Unverified streets may be missing from the map, in the wrong location, or have an incorrect name or address range. A message will warn you if your route includes unverified streets. Exercise addi
tional caution when
driving in unve
rified areas.
The database does not
include, analyze,
process, consider, or reflect any of the following categories of information: •Neighborhood quality or safety•Population density•Availability or proximity of
law
enforcement•Em ergency, rescue, m edical, or
other assistance
•Construction work,
zones, or hazards
•Road and lane closures•Legal restrictions (such as vehicular
type, weight, load, height, and
speed
restrictions)•Road slope or grade•Bridge height, width, weight, or
other limits
•Traffic facilities safety•Special events
•Pavement characteristics or conditionsEvery effort has been made to verify that the database is accurate. The number of inaccuracies you experience increases the longer you go without obtaining an updated map database. 2Obtaining a Navigation Update DVD P. 227 We assume no liability for any incident that may result from an error in the program, or from changed conditions not noted above.
