Frequently Asked Questions
While I drive, my screen s hows white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
on it. What do they mean? These are called “breadcrumbs.” If yo
u 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 page
91.
When I arrive at my destinati on, the bull’s-eye is shown at a
different location on the street. Why? The system calculates the bull’s-eye lo
cation based on the 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 page105.
My elevation is missing on th e “current position” screen.
Why? If the GPS antenna ca
nnot receive at least four sate llites, the elevation is not
displayed. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. If the elevation is zero
or below sea level, the elevation is also not displayed.

Frequently Asked QuestionsOrdering a Navigation DVD, Coverage, Map Errors, Limitations
ProblemSolution
I want to buy a new DVD. How do I purchase one? Y ou cannot obtain a new DVD from the dealer. See Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD on page110.
I want to order a DVD. How can I determine the DVD version
in my navigation system? The version is on the label of your DVD. It starts with “Ver:.” See Changing
the DVD
on page 111.
I got a navigation DVD from a friend or an online source, but
it does not work. Why? Your vehicle was designed to use a white DVD. DVDs with differently
colored labels or from different manu
facturers will not operate correctly.
Always obtain DVDs from the DVD order desk. See page110.
When is my city going to beco me part of a fully verified
detailed coverage area? The mapping database vendor is constantly revising map coverage. See
page
112 for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
Will the navigation system work outside North America? The navigation system contains maps only for the lower 48 U.S. states, Hawaii, and portions of southern Canada. The system will not work in
Mexico, Alaska, or overseas. Canada coverage is limited. See Map
Coverage on page 112.
I moved my vehicle from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii (or
from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland). Why does my navigation
system not show the correct map? The coverage area (Hawaii or U.S. mainland) must be selected by your
dealer.
Can I play video DVDs in my navigation system? No. The navigation system is designed only to read the white DVD provided
with your vehicle. Map discs for othe r vehicle manufacturers or PC map
programs will not work.
I found some errors in the database. How do I report them? Minor errors are bound to occur in a large database. If you encounter major errors, you can report them following the instructions on page109.

Frequently Asked Questions
Display, Accessories
Rear Camera
Miscellaneous Other Questions
Problem Solution
The display appears dim when st arting 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 shifti ng into or out of reverse, you may experience delays when the
screen image switches between the na vigation screen and the rear camera
image. This is normal.
The rear camera image is too da rk or too bright. How do I
adjust the brightness? While the camera image is displayed, 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 automatically 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 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 approximated 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 daylight saving time. How do I turn
off this feature? You can turn off this feature. See page
95.

Frequently Asked QuestionsDaylight 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.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no
apparent reason. What 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 correct month switching schedule is
chosen on the DST schedule selection screen. See page95 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 system. 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 for the navigation system? This is being considered as a future enhancement.
