Quick Reference GuideTroubleshootingFor more Information (P205)
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 di fferences 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.
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.Select  HOME  and then select  Settings. Select System , 
and then select  Sound/Beep tab. Check that  Volume 
is not set to 00.
2.Select  Voice Recog  tab on the System settings screen, 
and set  Voice Prompt  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?
In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. Simply 
press and hold the   (Audio Power) button for two 
seconds; the system should reactivate.
