Navigation System
When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch
to the night display mode. Why? The system thinks it is in
Day
display mode. Verify the following: The
display mode in Setup is set to Auto
, the dash brightness is not set to
maximum (must adjust with headlights on), and Map Color
in Setup is set
to Black for Night. See Display on page 75.
The daytime map screen is dark like the night display mode,
and it is hard to see. Why? Verify the following: The display mode in Setup is set to Auto
, and
Map
Color in Setup is set to White
for Day. See Display on page 75.
During the day, I turned on the lights because it started to
rain, but the screen went dark. How can I make it still display
day mode? Adjust the dash brightness (+) button (with headlights on) to full brightness.
Remember to set it back to a medium setting, or at night, the screen will be
bright. See
Display
on page 75.
How can I input my destination using map coordinates? The naviga
tion system was not designed for this. However, you can view
the coordinates of an address by touching the vehicle position icon on t he
map. See Map Screen Legend on page 50.
How do I change or remove my PIN? Go
to “Personal Info rmation” in the Setup
screen (second), and select PIN
Number . Select User 1
or User 2 and enter your existing PIN, and then
you have the choice to change or remove the PIN. See page 81.
I forgot the PIN for Home, or the PIN for personal addresses
(User 1 or User 2). How do I reset it? PINs are optional. See in
formation regarding PINs on page 81. Your dealer
can reset the PIN for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
Problem Solution
The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or
the way some other mapping program displays. Why is this? The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Routing Method
on page 46.
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year. The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page 104 for
ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road, and the
“GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is
white or missing. • The GPS antenna (located under the center of the dashboard) ma
y be
blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove
items from the
dashboard, such as radar detector s, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarke t devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations
on page 99.
I entered a destination, but the blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my destination. Why is this? Your route has entered an
unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 84.
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this? Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by touching the map
orientation icon on the map screen. See
Map Orientation on page 55.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations. Why is this? The Heading-up map orientation can onl
y be shown in the lower scales
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page 54.
While driving to my destination, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even th ough I am getting closer. The “Time to go” is based on actual road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based on your actual speed to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on th e map “lags” a short distance
behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong? No. When at an in
tersection, the system is un aware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page 99.

While I drive, my screen shows white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
on it. What do they mean? These are called “breadcrumbs.” If yo
u drive more than 1/2 mile from
mapped roads, the off-road tracking feature begins to function. See Off-road
Tracking on pages 60 and 91.
How can I get rid of the white dots (“breadcrumbs”) from my
screen? Go to “Vehicle” in the
Setup
screen (second), and set Off-road Tracking
to Off , then return to the map. See page 91.
A road that I selected to avoi d is being used when routing.
What is wrong? When you “draw” your area to avoid, make
sure to select sections of roads
that include at least one intersection. See page 88.
When I arrive at my destinati on, the bull’s-eye is shown at a
different location on the street. Why? The system calculates the bull’s-eye lo
cation based on the street address
range allocated for that street. See Destination Icon on page 55 for an
example.
My elevation (shown when I to uch the vehicle position icon)
seems to fluctuate even though my elevation has not changed. This is normal and due to errors in sa
tellite position. The elevation can vary
+/- 100 feet. See System Limitations on page 99.
My elevation is missing on th e “current position” screen.
Why? If the GPS antenna cannot r
eceive at least four satellites, the elevation is not
displayed. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. If the elevation is zero
or below sea level, the elevation is also not displayed.

ProblemSolution
The display appears dim when st arting the car in really cold
weather. Is there a problem? No. This is normal, and it will become brighter after a few minutes.
The screen does not close completely. Why is this? • Ensure that
it is not during inserting/ejecting a CD. The screen cannot be
closed if a CD is not completely inserted in the unit.
• Ensure that it is not during inserti ng/ejecting the DVD. The screen cannot
be closed if the DVD is not completely inserted in the unit.
• Ensure that a PC card is inserted co mpletely. The screen cannot be closed
if a PC card is not completely inserted in the unit. Moreover, the
recognition of a PC card takes about 1-2 seconds after it is inserted. The
screen cannot be closed during this recognition.
• Ensure that the media clip is inserted into the PC card adaptor. Eject the
PC card adaptor when not in use.
Where can I get PC card adaptors or the media chips that go
into them? • Any computer store sells PCMCIA PC card adaptors, and various types
and capacities of media chips for th em. Ask for Compact Flash or SD
media and adaptors.
• Hard Disk Drive type media are not r ecommended because they can fail in
a hot car.
How do I put music files onto the PC Card ? You can use yo
ur home PC to move MP3 or WMA music files to your PC
card. Most laptops have a slot to plug in your PC card. For desktop PCs,
USB adaptors are available that can accept your PC card or media chip.
Move files to the card like to any other hard drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
I insert a PC card with music files, but the CARD button or
navigation “PC Card” voice commands do not work. What’s
wrong? • After inserting the card, a delay of up to 30 seconds may be required to
read the tag information (a lbum, artist, and track names) - this is normal.
• Ensure that the music files on the media chip are either WMA or MP3
music format. Other form ats are not recognized.
• Some downloaded WMA and MP3 files are copy protected, and require that the copyright authentication files accompany the MP3/WMA files on
the Card.
• Media types and capacities continue to grow. As a rule, stick to Co mpact
Flash or SD media with capacities of 2GB or less. Other types of me dia or
larger capacities may work, but have not been tested.
• Single-type media PC Card adapto rs are recommended over multimedia-
type adaptors.
• Ensure that there are files on the card. For SD and other media with a
write-lock switch, ensure that the writ e protect is off when adding files to
the card.
• The system only recognizes FAT and FAT-32 file format for the media.
Some of the files on the PC card will not play, or I have an
eight GB card with 2500 songs, but only 999 play. Why is
this? • The quantity of tracks is limited to
999 tracks and a file structure of up to
eight folder levels deep. Tracks be yond 999 are simply not recognized.
• Ensure that the music files on the media chip are either WMA or MP3
music format. Other form ats are not recognized.
When I eject the media chip bu t leave the empty adaptor in
the PC card slot, the display door will not close. Why is this? To prevent damage to the display mechanism or your PC card/media chip,
the system checks for a partially insert
ed PC card and a partially inserted
media chip. Always remove the PC car d and media chip when not in use.
The media card will not fully insert into the PC card slot.
What is wrong? • The PC card edge connector or the pins
in the back of PC card slot may be
damaged.
• Never force the card into the slot - the adaptor card should glide smoothly
into the slot. See your dealer if the problem persists.
