System Setup
Clock Settings
From the Setup screen (second), say or
select Clock Settings and the
following screen appears:
Clock Adjustment
When you select Clock Adjustment ,
the following screen appears: This screen allows you to set or adjust
the following:
 Auto Daylight Saving Time
(Default = On)
 Auto Time Zone by GPS (Default = On)
 DST (Daylight Saving Time) Selection
(change DST schedule)
 Time Adjustment (adjust your clock)
 Reset button (resets this screen’s
settings to factory defaults)Auto Daylight Saving Time
Sets automatic daylight saving time On
or Off . If set to On, the clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
back” by one hour when a daylight
saving time change occurs. If you reside
in a state or area where daylight saving
time is not used, then you may want to
turn this feature off. NOTE:
If you set Auto Daylig
ht Saving Time to
On , the daylight savi ng time function is
activated even in an area that does not
use daylight saving time.
The federal government mandated that
starting in 2007, daylight saving time
begins in March and ends in November
instead of the old schedule from April to
October. The schedule is subject to
review and possible cancellation in
2008-2009.
The schedules for the time changes are
stored in the software and can be
selected in the DST schedule
selection screen. Therefore, your clock
will change based on the daylight saving
time schedule.
NOTE:
The automatic clock setting feature
relies on a satellite signal. It will not
work in Hawaii and Alaska.

Navigation System93
System Setup
Auto Time Zone by GPS
Sets automatic time zone selection by
GPS to On or Off . If you are driving
across the country and passing through
time zones, then this feature will
automatically set the time to the time
zone you are traveling through.
However, if you live and work in two
different time zones, you may want to
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
When driving near a time zone
boundary, the displayed time zone may
fluctuate between the two zone times.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Selection (Change DST Schedule)
This option lets you select the schedule
(April-October or March-
November ) when daylight saving time
will automatically occur in your
navigation system. The system default is
the March-November schedule as
mandated by the U.S. government. During 2008-2009, it is possible that
this new change will
be canceled by the
government and return ed back to the
previous “April-October” schedule. If
so, simply change the schedule in this
setting back to the “April-October”
schedule.Time Adjustment
Adjusts the current time in hours and
minutes. You can reset the adjustment
by selecting Reset. Selecting Done
returns you to the previous screen.
NOTE:
Selecting Reset also clears any
changes you made to “Auto Daylight
Saving Time,” “Auto Time Zone by
GPS,” or “DST Selection” settings.
Depending on your location, you may
need to adjust these settings.
Clock Type
Allows you to choose the design of the
clock screen. For more informaion, see
Clock Type on page74.

Coverage Areas
Operation in Alaska and
Hawaii
Certain functions that rely on a satellite
signal will not work in Alaska and
Hawaii. These functions include but are
not limited to XM radio, automatic
clock updates, and time zone
adjustments.
Alaska
If the vehicle was purchased in the
lower 48 states and driven to Alaska, the
system cannot display maps. The
message “Vehicle is out of the
database...” will be displayed.
Hawaii
This section describes the differences in
navigation system operation for vehicles
delivered in Hawaii.
Map Coverage
All roads displayed on the Hawaii map
screens are detailed coverage roads.
Text related to “unverified” roads or
areas are not applicable. The following
topics do not apply in Hawaii:
 Unverified road descriptions (see page
6 and 82 ).
 Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page
61).
 Setup entries that relate to turning on
or off unverified routing (see
page
83 ).
 When zooming in and out, there is no 350-mile scale for Hawaii.
Other Map Issues
 See the coverage section for a list of islands with coverage (see page
107).
 Freeway Exit information does not exist in Hawaii, so the “Freeway Exit
Info” icon is not shown on the icon
bar.
Address and POI Entry Screens
When in Hawaii, the following
differences occur for map, address, and
POI selection:
 It is not possible to enter U.S. mainland addresses or scroll the map
east to the U.S. mainland.
 Selection of the “State” is confined to the state of Hawaii only.
 Entry of a destination address or POI on an island other than your current
island may result in a screen caution
message. This is normal because
there are no “ferry” routes between
islands available in the database.
 If the “Guidance Prompts” setting on the Setup screen is set to normal or
maximum, street names will not be
spoken in voice guidance commands.

Setup Screen Differences
The Setup screen differences are minor
and are listed belo w. See the Setup
section (page72) for additional
information.
Routing and Guidan ce (Unverified
Area Routing On/Off)
This feature is unavailable. All roads
displayed on the map are verified.
Clock Adjust Screen
There is no daylight saving time for
Hawaii. Auto Daylight Saving
Time, Auto Time Zone by GPS , and
DST Selection will not be shown on
the Clock adjustment screen. To test
your adjustment, use the voice control
system, and say “What time is it?” (see
page92).
Shipping a Vehicle To or From
Hawaii
Although the DVD in the vehicle
contains maps for both U.S. mainland
and Hawaii, the dealer must perform the
selection of “U.S. mainland” or
“Hawaii” for you. When the dealer
makes the switch from U.S. mainland to
Hawaii or vice versa, the system clears
all user data. Make sure to record any
personal information that you do not
want to lose.
