System Setup
Display
There are two screen display modes: 
Day and  Night . The recommended 
setting is  Auto, which automatically 
switches the screen between  Day and 
Night  modes as you turn the headlights 
on or off. 
You can select  Day or Night  mode to 
override the  Auto mode. This is a 
useful feature for drivers that like to use  
headlights during the day and want to 
temporarily override  Night mode. 
However, the screen in  Day mode will 
be extremely bright at night.

124Navigation System
When I drive at night, the screen 
is bright and will not switch 
to the night display mode. Why? The system thinks it is in 
Day display mode. Verify the following: The 
display mode in Setup is set to  Auto, the dash brightness is not set to 
maximum (must adjust with headlights on), and  Map Color in Setup is set 
to  Black  for Night. See  Display on page75.
The daytime  map screen is dark like  the night display mode, 
and it is hard to see. Why? Verify the following: The disp
lay mode in Setup is set to Auto, and Map 
Color  in Setup is set to  White for Day. See  Display on page75.
During the day, I turned on the lights because it started to  
rain, but the screen went dark. How can I make it still display 
day mode? Adjust the dash brightness (+) button 
(with headlights on) to full brightness. 
Remember to set it back to a medium set ting, or at night, the screen will be 
bright. See  Display on page75.
How can I input my destination using map  coordinates? The navigation system was not designed for this. However, you can view 
the coordinates of an address by touching the vehicle position icon on the 
map. See  Map Screen Legend  on page50.
How do I change or remove my PIN? Go to “Personal Information” in the  Setup screen (second) , 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 page81.
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 page81. Your dealer 
can reset the PIN for you.
