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.

128Navigation System
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 progr am displays. Why is this?The navigation system attempts to
generate the optimum route. See
Changing Routing Method on page47.
Why is the street I’m on not s hown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year. The mapping database is
constantly undergoing revision. See page
111 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 on the passen
ger’s side of the rear shelf) may be
blocked by personal items. For best re ception, remove items from the rear
shelf, such as radar detectors, 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
104.
I entered a destination, but th e blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my dest ination. Why is this? Your route has entered
an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page
87.
The map rotates while I make turns. How ca n I stop this? Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by selecting “North-up”
from the Map menu . See Map Orientation on page
57.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orienta tions. Why is this? The Heading-up map orient
ation can only be shown in the lower scales
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page
56.
While driving to my destinati on, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even though 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 spee d to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short distance
behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong? No. When at an intersection, the syst
em is unaware 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
104.

Frequently Asked Questions
Display, Accessories
Rear Camera (if equipped)
Miscellaneous Other Questions
Problem Solution
The display appears dim when starting the car in really cold
weather. Is there a problem? No. This is normal, and it will become brighter after a few minutes.
Problem Solution
When I shift gears, the rear camera image is delayed. When shifting into or out of reverse, you may experience delays when the
screen image switches between the navigation screen and the rear camera
image. This is normal.
The rear camera image is too dark or too bright. How do I
adjust the brightness? While the camera image is displaye
d, use the rotating portion of the
Interface Dial (knob ) to adjust the brightness . This adjustment does not
affect the SETUP screen brightness adjustments.
Problem Solution
My clock frequently changes forward and backward by one
hour. Why is this? The clock is being auto
matically set based on your GPS location. If you live
and work on the boundary between two time zones, you can turn off this
feature. See page95.
When driving near a time zone border, the time changes even
though I am not near the time zone. Why is this? The time zone borders are only appr
oximated in the system. Depending on
the geography of the time zone boundary, the switch to a different zone can
be erratic. See page95.
My state does not observe dayli ght saving time. How do I turn
off this feature? You can turn off this feature. See page95.

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.

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.
