Driving to Your Destination
Driving to Your DestinationA route typically has three phases.
 Initial route calculation ( Calculate 
route to screen) (see page 47).
 Change the route while en route (see  page 65).
 Resume the route when restarting the  engine (see  Continue Trip Screen  on 
page 70).
Calculate Route to ScreenSay or select  OK. The system calculates 
the route using the method shown on the 
screen (see  Map Screen  on page 50).
NOTE:
 Prior to departure, you can set areas  to avoid. The system then includes 
them in its calculations for the 
destination you have entered. See 
Edit Avoid Area  on page 91.
 For information on the available 
voice commands, see  Voice 
Command Index  on page 138. Further selections from the 
Calculate 
route to screen include:
ADD TO Address BookAllows you to add the destination to 
your Address Book. See  By Address 
Book  on page 45.
NOTE:
If the button is grayed out, the 
destination is already in your Address 
Book.ADD TO Today’s DestinationsAllows you to add the destination to 
your Today’s Destinations list. See  By 
Today’s Destinations  on page 43.

System InitializationGPS InitializationDepending 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 the 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 th e 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 instructions on the 
screen, or contact your local dealer for 
assistance.
NOTE:
The average acquiri ng time is less than 
10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 
minutes.
Map MatchingThis 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 th e 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.
