Frequently Asked Questions
Map and Features, Voice Operation, Entering Addresses
Problem Solution
Why does the Disclaimer screen need to be displayed every time I start the car? I am the only driver. The Disclaimer screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always operate the navigation sy stem in a safe manner.
The Setup or Information screen has “grayed out” items that I cannot select. Why? You need to select OK on the Disclaimer screen to view these items. See System Function Diagram on page 21.
I tried entering an address, but th e city or street could not be found. Is there any other way to route to the location? Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. Try entering the street first. In rural “unverified” areas or ne w subdivisions, streets may be missing or only partially numbered. Try selecting the destination directly from the map. See By Map Input on page 37.
When I enter an address, some letters become grayed out. Is this normal? Yes. As you enter each letter in an addr ess or a point of interest (POI), the system looks in the databa se to see what letters are possible and “grays out” letters that do not apply.
How do I delete Personal Addre sses, Previous Destinations, or the Home Address? This is done in the Setup screen (second) under “Personal Information.” See page 78.
I cannot hear the navigation system voice. 1) Ensure that Volume in the Setup screen (first) is not Off. See page 75. 2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the Setup screen (second), and set Voice Recognition Feedback to On. See page 94.
The voice control system is ha ving difficulty recognizing my voice commands. Ensure that the vents are not blowi ng on the microphone on the ceiling, the vehicle is as quiet as possible, and you are using the correct command when speaking (see Improving Voice Recognition on page 13). Say “Help” at any screen to see a list of the applicable voice commands. If the system cannot recognize your command because of background noise, speak louder.
When the system pronounces the street name in the guidance command or reads the destinati on address, it sounds strange. What causes this?
The basic guidance phrase uses a studio -recorded voice, but the street name is pronounced by the system us ing a machine-generated voice. Consequently, the name may be misp ronounced or sound strange at times.

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 progr am displays. Why is this? The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See Changing the Routing Method on page 47.
Why is the street I’m on not s hown on the map? It has been here for more than a year. The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page 105 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 th e 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 page 100.
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 page 85.
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 page 56.
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 page 55.
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 page 100.

Navigation System135
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 wi ndow tinting or aftermarket devices placed on the dashboard, like radar detectors, cell phones, 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 page 106).
No DVD disc. Please check system. Check that the navigation DVD disc is inserted with the label side up (see page 106). 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 cannot be activated when another unit is us ing the audio system. Bluetooth ® HandsFreeLink® 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.*
