The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed every 
time I start the car.This is normal. The Startup Confirmation 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 certa in period of time, even if you do not 
select  OK.
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.

The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road. ●Check that the GPS antenna  (located in the dashboard) is not blocked. For best 
reception, remove items from the dashboar d, such as radar detectors, cellular 
phones, or loose articles.
●Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with GPS reception. 
Please consult your dealer.

The “Arrival time” displa y sometimes increases 
even though I am  getting closer to my destination.The “Arrival time” is based on the speed limit on each road. Depending on the 
traffic conditions, the “Arrival time” may be calculated to be earlier or later.
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 P. 130
My elevation is missing on the “current position” 
screen.The elevation is only displayed if the GP S 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.

System Limitations
GPS
The signals received from GPS satellites are 
extremely weak (less than a millionth of the 
strength of a local FM station) and require 
an unobstructed view of the sky. The GPS 
antenna is located in  the dashboard. The 
signal reception can easily be interrupted or 
interfered with by the following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side  windows
• Cellular phones, PDAs, or other electronic 
devices docked in a cradle or lying loose 
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle 
tracking systems mounted near the 
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devices mounted near 
the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, highway overpasses,  tunnels, or overhead electrical power 
wires GPS is operated by the U.S. Department of 
Defense. For security
 reasons, there are 
certain inaccuracies bu ilt into GPS for which 
the navigation system must constantly 
compensate. This can cause occasional 
positioning errors of up to several hundred 
feet (meters).
Address Calculation
The destination icon shows only the 
approximate location of a destination 
address. This occurs if the number of 
possible addresses is different from the 
number of actual addr esses on a block. For 
example, the address  1425 on a 1400 block 
with 100 possible addresses (because it is 
followed by the 1500 block) will be shown a 
quarter of the way down the block by the 
system. If there are only  25 actual addresses 
on the block, the actual  location of address 
1425 would be at the end of the block.
Database
The digitized map database reflects 
conditions as they existed at various points 
in time before production. Accordingly, 
your database may contain inaccurate or 
incomplete data or information due to the 
passage of time, road construction, 
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may 
be missing when you search the database 
because the name was misspelled, the place 
was improperly categorized, or a place/
landmark is not yet in the database. This is 
also true for police st ations, hospitals, and 
other public institutions. Do not rely on the 
navigation system if you need law 
enforcement or hospital services. Always 
check with local in formation sources.

uuSystem Limitations uDatabase
Reference Information
The database does not include, analyze, 
process, consider, or reflect any of the 
following categories of information:
• Neighborhood quality or safety
• Population density
• Availability or proximity of law 
enforcement
• Emergency, rescue, medical, or other  assistance
• Construction work, zones, or hazards
• Road and lane closures
• Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type,  weight, load, height, and speed 
restrictions)
• Road slope or grade
• Bridge height, width, weight, or other 
limits
• Traffic facilities safety
• Special events
• Pavement characteristics or conditions
Every effort has been made to verify that 
the database is accurate. The number of 
inaccuracies you experience increases the 
longer you go without obtaining an 
updated map database.
