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 program displays. Why is this? The navigation system attempts to
generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Routing Method on page46.
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 page104 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 under the center of the dashboard) may be
blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the
dashboard, such as radar detector s, 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 page99.
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
page84.
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this? Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by touching the map
orientation icon on the map screen. See Map Orientation on page55.
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 page54.
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 page99.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ordering a Navigation DVD, Coverage, Map Errors, Limitations
Problem Solution
I want to buy a new DVD. How do I purchase one? You cannot obtain a new DVD from the dealer. See Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD on page104.
I want to order a DVD. How ca n 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 page105.
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 turquoise (blue/green) DVD. DVDs
with differently colored labels or
from different manufacturers will not
operate correctly. Always obtain DVD s from the DVD order desk. See
page104.
When is my city going to become part of a fully verified
detailed coverage area? The mapping database vendor is constantly revising map coverage. See
page104 for ways to obtain the latest
detailed coverage information.
Will the navigation system work outside North America? The navi gation system contains maps only for the lower 48 U.S. states,
Hawaii, and portions of s outhern Canada. The syst em will not work in
Mexico, Alaska, or ove rseas. Canada coverage is limited. See Map
Coverage on page108.
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 (Hawai
i or U.S. mainland) must be selected by your
dealer.
Can I play video DVDs in my navigation system?No. The navigation sy stem is designed only to read the turquoise (blue/
green) DVD provided with your vehicle. Map discs fo r other vehicle
manufacturers or PC map programs will not work.
I found some errors in the database. How do I report them? Mi nor errors are bound to occur in a large database. If you encounter major
errors, you can report them following the instructions on page103.

Troubleshooting
Screen Error Message Solution
Navigation system is unable to acquire a proper GPS signal.
Make sure there is nothing on the dashboard blocking the GPS antenna
(aftermarket metallic window tinting or aftermarket devices placed on the
dashboard, like radar detectors, cell p hones, or loose items). If the dashboard
is clear of objects, move the vehicle to an open space away from tall buildings,
trees, etc.

Navigation unit door is open or No DVD disc is inserted.
Please check system. Make sure that the navigation DVD disc
is inserted with the label side up
and the navigation unit door is fully snapped closed (see page105).
No DVD disc. Please check system. Check that the navigation DVD disc is in serted with the label side up (see
page105). If the problem persists, see your dealer.
DVD disc reading error (unfor matted). Please consult your
dealer. Check the DVD disc surface
for deep scratches or other damage. Make sure
you are using a navigation DVD (turquoise-colored [blue/green] label). The
system cannot read other mapping data bases or video DVDs. If the problem
persists, see your dealer.
Display temp is too high. Syst em will shut down until display
cools down. This message will appear briefly when
the display temperature is too high,
and then the display will turn off until the temperature cools down. The
system will turn back on when the display cools down.
Outside temperature is low. System will take a while to start
up. The temperature is below -22°F and
the navigation system has difficulty
reading the DVD. The system will st art up when the temperature warms up.
Navigation system voice recognition ca nnot be activated
when another unit is us ing the audio system. HandsFreeLink (HFL) can override the
navigation system. Make sure the
HFL TALK button is not on when you press the NAVI TALK button, or the
message will appear. Simply press the HFL BACK button to resume
control of the navigation voice buttons.
Route has not been complete d. Please try again from a
different location. This message will appear when you are routing to or from a place (new
area) that is not in the database. Try
planning a different route to or from a
different location.*

map.
GPS Antenna - Located under the
dashboard. Electronic items operating
in this general location can interfere
with the GPS signal.
HFL - Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®.
Your vehicle is equipped with this
feature, which uses Bluetooth
technology as a wireless link between
the vehicle and your Bluetooth-
compatible cell phone.
Icon - Symbol representing Points of
Interest (POI) that can be displayed
