Problem
Solution
The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed every time I start the car.
This is normal. The Startup Confirmation scr
een reminds you and your guest drivers to
always operate the navigation system in a
safe manner. If you do not select "OK" at
startup, voice commands will not work.
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

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?

The navigation system pronunciation of street names in the guidance command or destination address sounds strange.
The basic guidance phrases use a studio-
recorded voice, but street names are
pronounced using a machine-generated voice. Consequently, the name may be mispronounced or sound strange at times.

The navigation system sometimes provides a detour route when I am drivi
ng a route on the freeway.
If Traffic Rerouting
is set to
ON

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

The navigation system routes me to an exit and an alternate freeway with unknown flow speeds or surface streets.
The navigation system predicts which ro

congestion along your route. Use 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?

The “time to destination” display sometimes increases even though I am getting closer to my destination.
If your speed reduces due to slower traffic,
the navigation system updates the “time to
destination” based on your actual road speed to give you a better estimate of arrival time.
