System Setup
Guidance Mode
Allows you to select the guidance display mode: Single Screen or Split Screen .
To get to Guidance Mode from the Setup screen, select in sequence, “More,” “Routing & Guidance,” and “Guidance Mode.”
The factory default is Single Screen.
NOTE:
The Guidance Mode can also be selected on the Icon Selection screen. See Showing Icons on the Map on page 58.
Vehicle
From the Setup screen (second), say or select Vehicle and the following screen appears:
Off-road Tracking
With this On, the system will provide white off-road tracking dots (“breadcrumbs”) on the map screen whenever you drive into an area where the map does not show any roads.See Map Screen Legend on page 18.
After you have traveled approximately 1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the system will display a series of white dots on the map screen to show the path you have traveled. This is provided so you can follow the dots to backtrack to the mapped road you originally left. Tracking continues until you reach a mapped road. See Off-road Tracking on page 60.
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 mile scales, or the 80, 200, 400, and 800 meter scales. Use the ZOOM buttons to change the scales if necessary.
NOTE:
To clear existing dots , turn this feature off and exit Setup. To re-enable this feature, return to Setup and turn it on again.

System Setup
Correct Vehicle Position
The system relies on satellites for positioning information. Buildings, tunnels, and other objects can block or reflect these signals, requiring the system to use “dead reckoning” to determine your location and direction.This can sometimes lead to small errors in positioning, such as showing you on an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle position is not recommended. When the system acquires a GPS signal, it will automatically place the vehicle in the correct location.
If you choose to do this, follow these steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Select Adjust, and the system will display a map adjustment screen.
3. Use the ZOOM buttons and the joystick to move the location arrowhead to the correct location. Touch the arrow buttons on the bottom of the screen to rotate the direction arrows so the vehicle position is pointin g in the correct direction.
NOTE:
If you continually have to do this, there are either problems in the database or GPS reception problems. See Accessories Precautions on page 5.
4. When you have finished, press the joystick or select Done to return to the previous screen.
5. As you drive, the current road will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Clock Settings
From the Setup screen (second), say or
select Clock Settings and the
following screen appears:
Clock Adjustment
When you select Clock Adjustment ,
the following screen appears: This screen allows you to set or adjust
the following:
• Auto Daylight Saving Time
(Default = On)
• Auto Time Zone by GPS (Default = On)
• DST (Daylight Saving Time) Selection
(change DST schedule)
• Time Adjustment (adjust your clock)
• Reset button (resets this screen’s
settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight Saving Time
Sets automatic daylight saving time On
or Off . If set to On , the clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
back” by one hour when a daylight
saving time change occurs. If you reside
in a state or area wh ere daylight saving
time is not used, then you may want to
turn this feature off. NOTE:
If you set Auto Daylight Saving Time to
On
, the daylight saving time function is
activated even in an area that does not
use daylight saving time.
The federal government mandated that
starting in 2007, daylight saving time
begins in March and ends in November
instead of the old schedule from April to
October. The schedule is subject to
review and possible cancellation in
2010-2011.
The schedules for the time changes are
stored in the software and can be
selected in the DST schedule
selection screen. Therefore, your clock
will change based on the daylight saving
time schedule.
NOTE:
The automatic clock setting feature
relies on a satellite signal. It will not
work in Hawaii and Alaska.

System Setup
Auto Time Zone by GPS
Sets automatic time zone selection by
GPS to On or Off . If you are driving
across the country and passing through
time zones, then this feature will
automatically set the time to the time
zone you are traveling through.
However, if you live and work in two
different time zones, you may want to
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
When driving near a time zone
boundary, the displayed time zone may
fluctuate between the two zone times.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Selection (Change DST Schedule)
This option lets you select the schedule
(April-October or March-
November ) when daylight saving time
will automatically occur in your
navigation system. The system default is
the March-November schedule as
mandated by the U.S. government. During 2010-2011, it is possible that
this new change will
be canceled by the
government and returned back to the

96Navigation System
System Initialization
System Initialization
If for any reason you lose power to the navigation system (e.g., the battery was disconnected), the navigation system will require initialization. Once completed, your system will be ready to use.
This initialization requires the following:
• Entry of the 4-digit anti-theft security code.
• GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the le ngth of time the system was without power).
• Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map (displays current street at the bottom of the map).
Entering the Security Code
If the battery goes dead or is disconnected for any reason, you will have to enter a secur ity code for both the audio system and the navigation system before you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you should have received two cards containing the audio and navigation system’s security codes and serial numbers. Keep these cards in a safe place in case you need the codes. If you lose the cards, you must obtain the security codes from your dealer.
Enter the four-digit security code, then select Done. If you make a mistake, the system will display “incorrect PIN.” Re-enter your 4-digit security code. If you have entered it corr ectly, the display changes to the Disclaimer screen. You have 10 chances to enter the correct code. If all 10 are incorrect, turn the ignition to OFF, then back to ON (II) to have 10 more chances to enter the correct code.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated to your optional navigation system PIN (for Personal Address Book or Home Address).

Navigation System97
System Initialization
GPS Initialization
Depending on the length of time the battery was disconnected, your system may require GPS initialization. If it does, the following screen appears:
If this procedure is not necessary, the system proceeds directly to the Disclaimer screen (see page 16). During initialization, the system searches for all available GPS satellites and obtains their orbital information. During this procedure, the vehicle should be out in th e open with a clear view of the sky.
If the navigation system finds the satellites properly, this box clears and the Disclaimer screen is shown. If within 10 minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your position, the following screen appears:
If the system is still unable to acquire a signal, follow the in structions on the screen, or contact you r local dealer for assistance.
NOTE:
The average acquiring time is less than 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
Map Matching
This part of the initialization matches the GPS coordinates found above with a road on the map screen. To perform this part of the procedure, ensure that the navigation system is displaying a map, and drive the vehicle on a mapped road (a road shown on the map screen). Do not enter a destina tion at this time. When the name of the current road you are driving on appears at the bottom of the screen, the entire procedure is complete. Your system is now ready to use.
The navigation system lost power and is acquiring its location from the GPS satellites. This usually takes less than 10 minutes.* Start the engine. * Park the vehicle in an open area away from trees, power lines, and tall buildings.* Remove loose articles, cell phones, or electrical accessories located near the GPS antenna.* If this screen is displayed repeatedly when starting the vehicle, see your dealer.
Something is interfering with the system’s ability to acquire its location. Check the following:* The vehicle must be in an open area with a clear view of the sky.* Remove sources of GPS interference like metallic window tint above antenna, or electrical items near antenna (see owner's manual for details).* Check GPS antenna cable connection. * Restart the engine and repeat the GPS acquire procedure. If the problem persists, see your dealer.

98Navigation System
System Limitations
Although your navigation system is one of the most highly sophisticated pieces of equipment you will find in a modern automobile, you may find during its use that it has certain limitations.
The system uses Gl obal Positioning System (GPS) signals to aid in determining its current location. The GPS is operated by the U.S.Department of Defense. For security reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built into the GPS that the navigation system must constantly compensate for. This can cause occasional positioning errors of up to se veral hundred feet.
For example, in urban areas where streets are close together, this could cause the system to show that you are traveling on a street that parallels the street you are actually on. The system will, under most circumstances, correct itself while you drive.
Depending on your current view of the sky and the position of the satellites, the elevation may be shown incorrectly. You may also notice some delay of the vehicle position icon at intersections; this is normal.
GPS Reception Issues
The signals received from the GPS satellites are extremely weak (less than a millionth of the strength of a local FM station) and requir e an unobstructed view of the sky. The signal can easily be interrupted or interfered with by the following:
• Aftermarket metallic window tint above or to the sides of the GPS antenna (located under the dashboard)
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle or lying loose on the dashboard
• Radar detectors mounted on the dashboard
• Remote starters, or “hidden” vehicle tracking systems mounted near the navigation unit
• Other aftermarket audio electronic devices mounted near the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead electrical power wires
Although the system will direct you to your desired destination, it may not always generate what you consider to be the most direct rout e. Try changing the method of routing. See Changing the Routing Method on page 46. You may also have Unverified Area Routing set to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on page 83.
Additionally, the mapping database contains verified and unverified maps. See Map Overview on page 6. A Disclaimer screen will warn you if your route includes unverified streets.Unverified streets may be missing from the map, in the wrong location, or have an incorrect name or address range.Exercise addition al caution when driving in these unverified areas.

Navigation System99
System Limitations
The destination icon shows the approximate location of the destination.This occurs because a city block can have as many as 100 possible addresses (for example, the 1400 block is followed by the 1500 block). Since most cities use only a portion of the 100 possible addresses (for example, in the 1400 block, the addresses may only go up to 1425 before the 1500 block starts), the address 1425 will be shown a quarter of the way down the block by the system instead of at the end of the block where the destination is actually located.
You may find that the system occasionally reboots. This is indicated by the display returning to the globe screen. A reboot can be caused by a number of things, such as extreme temperatures or shock from bumpy roads. It does not necessarily indicate a problem that requires service. If this happens frequently, please see your dealer.
