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 destination” 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.

Clock 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 i to select
Setup and press u. Check that Volume is not set to
OFF .
2. Move y to select Other, rotate i to select Basic
Settings , and press u. Set Voice Recognition Tutor
to ON if you want the system to provide confirmations
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.
