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

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

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
, the navigation system provides a detour route to
your destination only if it can find a signific
antly faster route than the original one.
2Traffic Rerouting
P. 52
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
ute should be faster based on freeway
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?

My elevation (shown when I display the current position) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation has not changed.
This is normal. The elevation can vary
±100 feet due to GPS calculation errors.
2GPS System
P. 224
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.
