Street.” The system checks the
upcoming area, based on your input.
For “Places Around the Destination,”
the system searches outwards in a spiral
from the destination. In this case,
specific search values are not needed;
the matches are displayed in order of
distance from destination.
NOTE:
These settings do not affect the search
range used for the voice commands like

Navigation System97
System Setup
After you have traveled approximately
1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the
system will display a series of white
dots on the map screen to show the path
you have traveled. This is provided so
you can follow the dots to backtrack to
the mapped road you originally left.
Tracking continues until you reach a
mapped road. See Off-road Tracking on
page 62.
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile scales, or the 80, 200,
400, and 800 meter scales. Rotate the
Interface Dial knob to change the
scales if necessary.
NOTE:
To clear existing dots, turn this feature
off and exit SETUP. To re-enable this
feature, return to SETUP and turn it on
again.Correct Vehicle Position
The system relies on satellites for
positioning information. Buildings,
tunnels, and other objects can block or
reflect these signals, requiring the
system to use “dead reckoning” to
determine your location and direction.
This can sometimes lead to small errors
in positioning, such as showing you on
an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle
position is not recommended. When the
system acquires a GPS signal, it will
automatically place the vehicle in the
correct location.
If you choose to do this, follow these
steps:
1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Select
Correct Vehicle Position ,
and the system will display a map
adjustment screen.
3. Use the Interface Dial to move the
vehicle position arrowhead to the
correct location, and push in on the
Interface Dial . The display will
change to:

102Navigation System
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 length 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 instructions in your 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).

System Initialization
GPS Initialization
Depending 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 17).
During initialization, the system
searches for all available GPS satellites
and obtains their orbital information.
During this procedure, the vehicle
should be out in th e 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 the 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 you r local dealer for
assistance.
NOTE:
The average acquiring time is less than
10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45
minutes.
Map Matching
This 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 the 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.

Navigation System105
System Limitations
The destination icon shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block). Since most cities
use only a portion of the 100 possible
addresses (for example, in the 1400
block, the addresses may only go up to
1425 before the 1500 block starts), the
address 1425 will be shown a quarter of
the way down the block by the system
instead of at the end of the block where
the destination is actually located.
You may find that the system
occasionally reboots. This is indicated
by the display returning to the globe
screen. A reboot can be caused by a
number of things, such as extreme
temperatures or shock from bumpy
roads. It does not necessarily indicate a
problem that requires service. If this
happens frequently, please see your
dealer.
