System Initialization
System Initialization
If for any reason you lose power to the
navigation system (e.g., the battery was
disconnected), the navigation system
will require initialization. Once
completed, your system will be ready to
use.
This initialization requires the
following:
 Entry of the 4-digit anti-theft security code.
 GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the le ngth of time the
system was without power).
 Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map
(displays current street at the bottom
of the map).
Entering the Security Code
If the battery goes dead or is
disconnected for any reason, you will
have to enter a secur ity code for both the
audio system and the navigation system
before you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you
should have received two cards
containing the audio and navigation
system’s security codes and serial
numbers. Keep these cards in a safe
place in case you need the codes. If you
lose the cards, you must obtain the
security codes from your dealer. Enter the four-digit s
ecurity code. If you
have entered it corr ectly, the display
changes to the Disclaimer screen. If
you make a mistake, the system will
display “INCORRECT PIN.” Re-enter
your 4-digit security code. You have 10
chances to enter the correct code. If all
10 are incorrect, tu rn the ignition to
OFF, then back to ON (II) to have 10
more chances to enter the correct code.
Follow the instructio ns in the vehicle
Owner’s manual to enter the 5-digit
audio code. The navigation voice will
not operate if the audio code is not
entered.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated
to your optional navigation system PIN
(for Personal Address Book or Home
Address).

104Navigation System
System Limitations
Although your navigation system is one
of the most highly sophisticated pieces
of equipment you will find in a modern
automobile, you may find during its use
that it has certain limitations.
The system uses signals from the Global
Positioning System (GPS) to aid in
determining its current location. The
GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies
built into the GPS that the navigation
system must constantly compensate for.
This can cause occasional positioning
errors of up to several hundred feet.
For example, in urban areas where
streets are close together, this could
cause the system to show that you are
traveling on a street that parallels the
street you are actually on. The system
will, under most circumstances, correct
itself while you drive. Depending on your current view of the
sky and the position of the satellites, the
elevation may be shown incorrectly.
You may also notice some delay of the
vehicle position icon at intersections;
this is normal.
GPS Reception Issues
The signals received from the GPS
satellites are extremely weak (less than
a millionth of the strength of a local FM
station) and requir
e an unobstructed
view of sky. The signal can easily be
interrupted or interfered with by the
following:
 Aftermarket metallic window tint above or to the sides of the GPS
antenna (located on the passenger’s
side of the rear shelf)
 Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle
or lying loose on the rear shelf
 Radar detectors mounted on the rear shelf
 Remote starters, or “hidden” vehicle tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit  Other aftermarket audio electronic
devices mounted near the navigation
unit
 Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead
electrical power wires
Although the system will direct you to
your desired destination, it may not
always generate what you consider to be
the most direct rout e. Try changing the
method of routing. See Changing
Routing Method on page47. You may
also have Unverified Area Routing set
to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on
page87.
Additionally, the mapping database
contains verified and unverified maps.
See Map Overview on page6.
A Disclaimer screen will warn you if
your route includes unverified streets.
Unverified streets may be missing from
the map, in the wrong location, or have
an incorrect name or address range.
Exercise addition al caution when
driving in these unverified areas.

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.
