Coverage Areas
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 re late 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.

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 page 94).
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
Map and Features, Voice Oper ation, Entering Addresses
Problem Solution
Why does the Disclaimer screen need to be displayed every
time I start the car? I am the only driver. The
Disclaimer screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always
operate the navigation sy stem in a safe manner.
The SETUP or Information screen has “grayed out” items
that I cannot select. Why? You need to select
OK on the Disclaimer screen to view these items. See
System Function Diagram on page21.
I tried entering an address, but th e city or street could not be
found. Is there any other way to route to the location? Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. Try entering the street
first. In rural “unverified” areas or ne
w subdivisions, streets may be missing
or only partially numbered. Try selecting the destination directly from the
map. See By Map Input on page40.
When I enter an address, some letters become grayed out. Is
this normal? Yes. As you enter each letter in an addr
ess or a point of interest (POI), the
system looks in the databa se to see what letters are possible and “grays out”
letters that do not apply.
How do I delete Personal Addre sses, Previous Destinations,
or the Home Address? This is done in the
SETUP screen ( Other) under “Personal Information.”
See page 79.
I cannot hear the navigation system voice. 1) Ensure that Volume in the SETUP screen ( Main Setup ) is not OFF.
See page 78.
2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the SETUP screen ( Other), and set Voice
Recognition Feedback to ON . See page 85.
The voice control system is ha ving difficulty recognizing my
voice commands. Ensure that the vents are not blowing on the microphone on the ceiling, the
vehicle is as quiet as
possible, and you are using the correct command when
speaking (see Improving Voice Recognition on page14). Say “Help” at any
screen to see a list of the applicable voice commands. If the system cannot
recognize your command because of background noise, speak louder.
When the system pronounces the street name in the guidance
command or reads the destinati on address, it sounds strange.
What causes this? The basic guidance phrase uses a studio
-recorded voice, but the street name
is pronounced by the system us ing a machine-generated voice.
Consequently, the name may be misp ronounced or sound strange at times.

Frequently Asked Questions
When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch
to the night display mode. Why? Verify the following: Th
e nighttime dash brightness control is not set to
maximum, and Map Color in SETUP is set to Black for Night. See
Switching Display Mode Manually on page99.
The daytime map screen is dark like the night display mode,
and it is hard to see. Why? Verify the following: The
Map Color in SETUP is set to White for Day.
See Switching Display Mode Manually on page99.
Once I press the Display Mode button , the screen no
longer automatically switches between day and night display
modes. Why is this? This is normal. Once you press the
Display Mode button , you are
manually controlling the display mode. Your manual display mode setting is
canceled the next time the vehicle is started.
How can I input my destination using map coordinates? The navigation system was not designed for th is. However, you can view
the coordinates of an a ddress by pushing in on the Interface Dial, selecting
Show Icon on Map , and moving the Interface Dial left to select
Current Location . See Map Screen Legend on page50.
How do I change or remove my PIN? Go to “Personal Information” in the SETUP screen (Other), 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 83.
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 information regarding PINs on page
83. Your dealer
can reset the PIN for you.
CALL is not available on the Calculate route to screen.
Why? Your phone is not paired to HFL, or if
your phone is paired, it is in use or
does not have good coverage; press the HFL BACK button.

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 shown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year. The mapping database is
constantly undergoing revision. See page111 for
ways to obtain the latest de tailed 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 page56.
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 page104.

Frequently Asked Questions
While I drive, my screen shows white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
on it. What do they mean? These are called “breadcrumbs.”
If you drive more than 1/2 mile from
mapped roads, the off-road tracking feature begins to function. See Off-road
Tracking on pages 62 and 96.
How can I get rid of the white dots (“breadcrumbs”) from my
screen? Go to “Vehicle” in the
SETUP screen (Other ), and set Off-road
Tracking to OFF , then return to the map. See page 96.
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 page91.
When I arrive at my destination, the bull’s-eye is shown at a
different location on the street. Why? The system calculates the bull’s-eye location based on th
e street address
range allocated for that street. See Destination Icon on page57 for an
example.
My elevation (shown when I di splay the current position)
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 page104.
My elevation is missing on the “current pos ition” screen.
Why? If the GPS antenna cannot receive 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 elev
ation is also not displayed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Display, Accessories
Miscellaneous Other Questions
ProblemSolution
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
My clock frequently changes forward and backward by one
hour. Why is this? The clock is being automatically set ba
sed on your GPS location. If you live
and work on the boundary between two time zones, you can turn off this
feature. See page 95.
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 page 95.
My state does not observe dayli ght saving time. How do I turn
off this feature? You can turn off this feature. See page
95.
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 page94.
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.
