ProblemSolution
The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed 
every time I start the car.This is normal. The Startup Confirmati on screen reminds you and your guest 
drivers to always operate the navigation  system in a safe manner. The Startup 
Confirmation screen goes off after a certain  period of time and the top screen of 
the last mode is displayed.
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 a 
dealer.
How do I specify a de stination 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 destination directly from the map.
2 Map Input  P. 112
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 
looks in the database to see what letters  are possible and grays out letters that do 
not apply.
How do I delete Personal Addresses, 
Previous Destinations, or the Home Address?1. Press the  SETTINGS  button. Select  Navi Settings > Personal Info  to display 
the types of information.
2. Select the type of address to delete.
3. Select  Delete.
I cannot hear the navigation system voice.1.Press the  SETTINGS  button. Select  System Settings  and check that Guidance 
Volume  is not set to  0.
2. Select  Voice Reco  and set Voice Prompt to  On.

Route screen?Your phone is not paired to  Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink ® or, if paired, your phone 
is in use.

The voice control system  is having difficulty 
recognizing my voice commands.Check that the vents are not blowing air  onto the microphone on the ceiling, the 
vehicle is as quiet as po ssible, and you are using  the correct command when 
speaking.
2 Voice Recognition  P. 23

I cannot select an option using the Interface 
Dial.To reduce potential driver distraction, ce rtain onscreen functions and features are 
limited or inoperable while the vehicle is  moving. Use voice commands or pull over 
to proceed.
The navigation system pronunciation of 
street names in the guidance command or 
destination address sounds strange.The basic guidance phrases use a studio-re corded voice, but street names are 
pronounced using a machine-generated voice. Consequently, the name may be 
mispronounced or sound strange at times.
The screen is bright  when I drive at night.1.Check that the nighttime dashboard brightness control is not set to maximum.
2. Press the  SETTINGS  button. Select  Navi Settings > Map >  Color (Night) .

The navigation system sometimes provides a detour 
route when I am driving a route on the freeway/
highway.If Traffic Rerouting is set to  On, the navigation system provides a detour route 
to your destination only if it can find a si gnificantly faster route than the original 
one.
2 Traffic Rerouting  P. 58
The navigation system routes  me to an exit and an 
alternate freeway/highway  with unknown flow 
speeds or surface streets.The navigation system predicts which r oute should be faster based on freeway/
highway congestion along your route. Us e your own experience to determine 
whether the alternate route would be faster.
How can I ignore the detour route and return to the 
original route?Press the SETTINGS  button. Select Navi Settings > Routing , and set Traffic 
Rerouting  to Off .

and the “GPS icon” text in the upper left hand 
corner of the screen is white or missing.●Check that the GPS antenna (located in  the dashboard) is not blocked. For best 
reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar detectors, mobile 
phones, or loose articles.
●Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS 
reception.
Please consult a dealer.
2 GPS System  P. 302
The blue highlighted route and voice guidance

along?Press the  SETTINGS  button. Select  Navi Settings > Map  > View  > North-up .
The “time to destination” display sometimes 
increases even though I am getting closer to my 
destination.If your speed reduces due to slower tra ffic, the navigation system updates the 
“time to destination” based on your ac tual road speed to give you a better 
estimate of arrival time.

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 ca n indicate a temporary loss of the GPS 
signal.
2 GPS System  P. 302
The screen is showing wh ite dots as I drive along.These dots are called “breadcr umbs.” These are displayed if Display Tracking is 
set to  On.
How do I remove the white dots (“breadcrumbs”) 
from my screen?Press the  SETTINGS  button. Select  Navi Settings > Map, set Display Tracking  to 
Off  or select  Delete Tracking  to remove the white dots from the map.
2Display Tracking  P. 84
A road that I selected to avoid is being used when 
routing.When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that 
include at least one intersection.
2Avoided Area  P. 60
My elevation (shown when  I display the current 
position) seems to fluc tuate even though my 
elevation has not changed.This is normal. The elevation can vary  ±100 ft (±30 m) due to GPS calculation 
errors.
2 GPS System  P. 302
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.
