Changing the DVD
NOTE:
The system’s database is stored on a
removable DVD. The system will not
work without the DVD. Ensure the door
remains closed at all times.
1. Locate the control unit. It is in the trunk.
2. Remove the DVD wh ile the ignition
switch is in the ACCESSORY (I)
position or in the ON (II) position.
3. Push the OPEN button. An error
message will be displayed on the
screen. This is normal. 4. Push the
Eject button. The DVD will
automatically come out.
5. Pull the DVD straig ht out. Hold the
DVD by the edges. Fingerprints,
scratches, or other contamination on
the playing surface can make the
DVD unreadable.
To install the DVD, make sure the white
label is facing up. Slide the DVD into
the slot. The DVD is automatically
pulled into the contro l unit. Make sure
you close the door. NOTE:
 The system will not play movies or
other video/audio discs.
 Never “sneak preview” a newer white labeled DVD in the system
unless you plan to keep it. The system
cannot automatically revert to a prior
version DVD. If you must revert to a
previous version DVD, see your
dealer for assistance.
 Please keep the door to the navigation control unit closed at all
times.
PC Card
A PC card is not supplied. The PC card
slot is for factory use only. This slot
cannot be used to play audio files.

124Navigation System
Operation in Alaska and
Hawaii
Certain functions that rely on a satellite
signal will not work correctly in Alaska
and Hawaii. These functions include but
are not limited to XM radio, automatic
clock updates, and time zone
adjustments.
Alaska
If the vehicle was purchased in the
lower 48 states and driven to Alaska, the
system cannot display maps. The
message “Vehicle is out of the
database...” will be displayed.
Hawaii
This section describes the differences in
navigation system operation for vehicles
delivered in Hawaii.
XM Radio
Navigation-equipped vehicles delivered
to Hawaii are equipped with XM
hardware, but XM broadcasting is not
available; therefore sections of the
manual that mention XM audio do not
apply. Vehicles originally delivered to
the U.S. mainland and shipped to Hawaii
also have XM, but will not function
because the XM satellites (aimed toward
the U.S. mainland) are too far away to
obtain reception.
Map Coverage
All roads displayed on the Hawaii map
screens are detailed coverage roads.
Text related to “unverified” roads or
areas are not applicable. The following
topics do not apply in Hawaii:
 Unverified road descriptions (see page
6, 87).
 Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page
64).
 Setup entries that relate to turning on
or off unverified routing (see
page
88 ).
 When zooming in and out, there is no 350-mile scale for Hawaii. Other Map Issues
 See the coverage section for a list of
islands with coverage (see page 111).
 Freeway Exit information does not
exist in Hawaii, so the “Freeway Exit
Info” icon is not shown on the icon
bar.
Coverage Areas

Navigation System125
Coverage Areas
Address and POI Entry Screens
When in Hawaii, the following
differences occur for map, address, and
POI selection:
 It is not possible to enter U.S.
mainland addresses or scroll the map
east to the U.S. mainland.
 Selection of the “State” is confined to the state of Hawaii only.
 Entry of a destination address or POI on an island other than your current
island may result in a screen caution
message. This is normal because
there are no “ferry” routes between
islands available in the database.
 If the “Guidance Prompts” setting on the SETUP screen ( Main Setup ) is
set to normal or maximum, street
names will not be spoken in voice
guidance commands.
Setup Screen Differences
The SETUP screen differences are
minor and are listed below. See the
Setup section (page 77) for additional
information.
Routing and Guidance (Unverified
Area Routing On/Off)
This feature is unavailable. All roads
displayed on the map are verified.
Clock Adjust Screen
There is no daylight saving time for
Hawaii. Auto Daylight , Auto Time
Zone , and DST Selection will not be
shown on the Clock adjustment
screen. To test your adjustment, use the
voice control system, and say “What
time is it?” (see page94).
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®
Operation
When pairing a cell phone to use the
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® feature,
you may see a “Phone-Data
Connection” screen. If so, do not
complete this portion of the process.
Shipping a Vehicle To or From
Hawaii
Although the DVD in the vehicle
contains maps for both U.S. mainland
and Hawaii, the dealer must perform the
selection of “U.S. mainland” or
“Hawaii” for you. When the dealer
makes the switch from U.S. mainland to
Hawaii or vice versa, the system clears
all user data. Make sure to record any
personal information that you do not
want to lose.
NOTE:
Shipping a vehicle from Hawaii to the
U.S. mainland
 If you wish to receive XM audio, you must call XM and set up an account
at (800) 852-9696.
Shipping a vehicle from the U.S.
mainland to Hawaii
 If a U.S. mainland -delivered vehicle
is shipped to Hawaii, there is no XM
reception. See your Hawaii dealer to
allow viewing of local Hawaii maps.
 The issues under “Operation in Hawaii” above apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Daylight saving time occurred, but the navigation system did
not change time even though SETUP shows Auto Daylight
is ON . Go to the
Clock adjustment screen in SETUP and select DST Selection.
Ensure that the correct DST schedule is selected. For more information, see
Clock Adjustment on page
94.
The navigation system automatic daylight time feature is not
switching the navigation system clock on the correct dates.
Why is this? 1) Go to the
Clock adjustment screen in SETUP and ensure that Auto
Daylight is ON .
2) The navigation system is designed to switch to daylight saving time
according to the months selected in the DST schedule selection screen.
Ensure that the appropriate schedule is selected. For more information,
see Clock Adjustment on page94.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no
apparent reason. Wh at can cause this? 1) You may be driving near
a time zone boundary (see Auto Daylight on
page
95).
2) The navigation system does not switch between standard and daylight
saving time. Set Auto Daylight to ON on the Clock adjustment screen
in SETUP, and ensure that the co rrect month switching schedule is
chosen on the DST schedule selection screen. See page
95 for more
information.
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the
navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find this
code? There should be a card in the glove
box with the anti-theft code for the
navigation/audio syst em. This card contains the 4-digit security code and
serial number. If you cannot find it , your dealer can help you out.
I speak a language other than English. When will other
languages be available fo r the navigation system? This is being considered
as a future enhancement.
Problem Solution

Troubleshooting
Screen Error Message Solution
Navigation system is unabl e to acquire a proper GPS
signal. Make sure there is nothing on the rear sh
elf blocking the GPS antenna (aftermarket
metallic window tinting or af termarket devices placed on the rear shelf like radar
detectors, cell phone s, or loose items). If the rear sh elf is clear of objects, move the
vehicle to an open space away from tall buildings, trees, etc.
Navigation unit door is ope n or No DVD disc is
inserted. Please check system. Make sure that the navigati
on DVD disc is inserted with the label side up and the
navigation unit door is fully snapped closed (see page110).
No DVD disc. Please check syst em. Check that the navigation DVD disc is inserted with the label side up (page110). If
the problem persists, see your dealer.
DVD disc reading error (unf ormatted). Please consult
your dealer. Check the DVD disc surface for deep scra
tches or other damage. Make sure you are
using a navigation DVD (white-colored label). The system cannot read other
mapping databases or video DVDs. If the problem persists, see your dealer.
Display temp is too high. Sy stem will shut down until
display cools down. This message will appear briefly when the
display temperature is too high, and then
the display will turn off until the temper ature cools down. The system will turn
back on when the display cools down.
Outside temperature is low. System will take awhile to
start up. The temperature is below -22°F and the
navigation system has difficulty reading
the DVD. The system will start up when the temperature warms up.
Navigation system voice recognition cannot be
activated when another unit is using the audio system. HandsFreeLink (HFL) can ove
rride the navigation system. Make sure the HFL
TALK button is not on when you press the NAVI TALK button, or the message
will appear. Simply press the HFL BACK button to resume control of the
navigation voice buttons.
