Troubleshooting
Map, Voice, Entering Destinations
ProblemSolution
The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed every 
time I start the car.This is normal. The Startup Confirmation screen reminds you and your guest drivers to 
always operate the navigation system in  a safe manner. The Startup Confirmation 
screen goes off after a certain  period of time and the top screen of the last mode is 
displayed.
The navigation system reboots by itself (returns to the 
opening screen).A reboot can be caused by extreme temper atures or shock from bumpy roads, and 
does not necessarily indicate a problem. If this happens frequently, please see a dealer.
How do I specify a destination when an entered city or 
street could not be found?• Try entering the street first.  Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. In 
rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions,  streets may be missing or only partially 
numbered.
• Try selecting the destinati on directly from the map. 
2Map Input P. 89
Why do some letters become grayed out when I enter 
an address?As you enter each letter in an address or a place/landmark, the navigation system 
looks in the database to see what letters are possible and grays out letters that do not 
apply.
How do I delete Personal Addresses, Previous 
Destinations, or the Home Address?1. Press the SETTINGS button. Select  Navi Settings > Personal Info  to display the 
types of information.
2. Select the type of address to delete.
3. Select  Delete .
I cannot hear the navigation system voice.1.Press the SETTINGS button. Select  System Settings and check that Volume is not 
set to 0 .
2. Select  Voice Rec.  and set Voice Prompt  to On.
The voice control system is having difficulty 
recognizing my voice commands.• Check that the vents are not blowing air onto the microphone on the ceiling, the 
vehicle is as quiet as possible, and you are using the correct command when 
speaking. 
2 Voice Recognition P. 21
•Say  d “Voice Help”  on any screen to see a list of the applicable voice commands.
I cannot give voice commands.Make sure you selected OK  at the Startup Confirmation screen.

TroubleshootingMap, Voice, Entering Destinations
I cannot select an option using the Interface Dial.To reduce potential driver distraction, ce rtain onscreen functions and features are 
limited or inoperable while the vehicle is moving. Use voice commands or pull over to 
proceed.
The navigation system pronunciation of street names 
in the guidance command or destination address 
sounds strange.The basic guidance phrases use a studio- recorded voice, but street names are 
pronounced using a machine-generated voice. Consequently, the name may be 
mispronounced or sound strange at times.
The screen is bright when I drive at night.1. Check that the nighttime dashboard brig htness control is not set to maximum.
2. Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings  > Map  > Color (Night) . Set the 
Night color to Black for the best contrast. 
2 Switching Display Mode Manually P. 54
The screen is dark when I drive during the day.Press the SETTINGS button. Select  Navi Settings > Map >  Color (Day) . Set the Day 
color to White for the best contrast. 
2 Switching Display Mode Manually P. 54
How do I change or remove my PIN?1. Press the SETTINGS button. Select  Navi Settings > Personal Info  > PIN Number > 
Address Book PIN  or Go Home PIN.
2. Enter your existing PIN. You then have the choice to change or remove the PIN. 
2PIN Numbers P. 28
I have forgotten my PIN.  How do I reset the PIN for 
Home or the PIN for personal addresses?A dealer must reset the PIN for you.
Why is  Call grayed out on the Calculate Route screen?Your phone is not paired to  Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® or, if paired, your phone is in 
use. See your Owner’s Manual.

TroubleshootingGuidance, Routing
Guidance, Routing
ProblemSolution
The navigation system does not route me the same 
way I would go or the same way as other mapping 
systems.The navigation system attempts to generate the optimal route. You can change the 
route preferences used when calculating a route. 
2Route Preference P. 35
The navigation system wants to route me around 
potential traffic problems. How do I stop these pop-up 
messages?Press the SETTINGS button. Select  Navi Settings > Routing , and set  Traffic 
Rerouting  to Off . 
2Traffic Rerouting P. 38
The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. You can access the most 
recent information on the internet. 
2Map Coverage P. 133
The vehicle position icon is not following the road and 
the “GPS icon” text in th e upper left hand corner of 
the screen is white or missing.• Check that the GPS antenna (located in the dashboard) is not blocked. For best  reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones, 
or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devi ces can interfere with the GPS reception. 
Please consult a dealer. 
2 GPS System P. 130
The blue highlighted route and voice guidance 
stopped or turned into a blue/pink line before I got to 
my destination.Your route has entered an unverified area. 
2Unverified Routing P. 36
How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive along?Press the SETTINGS button. Select  Navi Settings > Map >  View > North-Up , or say 
d  “Display north-up”  to change the map orientation.
The “time to destination” display sometimes increases 
even though I am getting closer to my destination.If your speed reduces due to slower traffic,  the navigation system updates the “time to 
destination” based on your actual road speed 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.This is normal. The navigation system is un aware of the width of intersections. Large 
differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.

System Limitations
GPS System
The signals received from the GPS satellites 
are extremely weak (less than a millionth 
of the strength of a local FM station) and 
require an unobstructed view of the sky. 
The GPS antenna is located in the 
dashboard. The signal reception can easily 
be interrupted or interfered with by the 
following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side 
windows
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic 
devices docked in a cradle or lying loose 
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle 
tracking systems mounted near the 
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devices mounted near 
the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses, 
tunnels, or overhead electrical power 
wires
The GPS is operated by the U.S. 
Department of Defense. For security 
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built 
into the GPS for wh ich the navigation 
system must constantly compensate. This  can cause occasional positioning errors of 
up to several hundred feet.
Address Calculation
The destination icon shows only the 
approximate location of a destination 
address. This occurs if the number of 
possible addresses is different from the 
number of actual addresses on a block. For 
example, the address 1425 on a 1400 
block with 100 possible addresses 
(because it is followed by the 1500 block) 
will be shown a quarter of the way down 
the block by the system. If there are only 
25 actual addresses 
on the block, the 
actual location of address 1425 would be 
at the end of the block.
Database
The digitized map database reflects 
conditions as they existed at various points 
in time before production. Accordingly, 
your database may contain inaccurate or 
incomplete data or information due to the 
passage of time, road construction, 
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may 
be missing when you search the database 
because the name was misspelled, the 
place was improperly categorized, or a 
place/landmark is not yet in the database. 
This is also true  for police stations, 
hospitals, and other public institutions. Do 
not rely on the navigation system if you 
need law enforcement or hospital services. 
Always check with local information 
sources.
