System Initialization
System Initialization
If for any reason you lose power to the
navigation system (e.g., the battery was
disconnected), the navigation system
will require initialization. Once
completed, your system will be ready to
use.
This initialization requires the
following:
• Entry of the 4-digit anti-theft security code.
• GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the le ngth of time the
system was without power).
• Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map
(displays current street at the bottom
of the map).
Entering the Security Code
If the battery goes dead or is
disconnected for any reason, you will
have to enter a secur ity code for both the
audio system and the navigation system
before you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you
should have received two cards
containing the audio and navigation
system’s security codes and serial
numbers. Keep these cards in a safe
place in case you need the codes. If you
lose the cards, you must obtain the
security codes from your dealer. Enter the four-digit security code, then
select
Done. If you make a mistake, the
system will display “incorrect PIN.” Re-
enter your 4-digit security code. If you
have entered it corr ectly, the display
changes to the Disclaimer screen. You
have 10 chances to enter the correct
code. If all 10 are incorrect, turn the
ignition to OFF, then back to ON (II) to
have 10 more chances to enter the
correct code.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated
to your optional navigation system PIN
(for Personal Address Book or Home
Address).

Navigation System99
System Limitations
Although your navigation system is one
of the most highly sophisticated pieces
of equipment you will find in a modern
automobile, you may find during its use
that it has certain limitations.
The system uses GPS signals to aid in
determining its current location. The
GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies
built into the GPS that the navigation
system must constantly compensate for.
This can cause occasional positioning
errors of up to several hundred feet.
For example, in urban areas where
streets are close together, this could
cause the system to show that you are
traveling on a street that parallels the
street you are actually on. The system
will, under most circumstances, correct
itself while you drive. Depending on your current view of the
sky and the position of the satellites, the
elevation may be shown incorrectly.
You may also notice some delay of the
vehicle position icon at intersections;
this is normal.
GPS Reception Issues
The signals received from the GPS
satellites are extremely weak (less than
a millionth of the strength of a local FM
station) and requir
e an unobstructed
view of the sky. The signal can easily be
interrupted or interfered with by the
following:
• Aftermarket metallic window tint above or to the sides of the GPS
antenna (located under the
dashboard)
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle
or lying loose on the dashboard
• Radar detectors mounted on the dashboard
• Remote starters, or “hidden” vehicle tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit • Other aftermarket audio electronic
devices mounted near the navigation
unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead
electrical power wires
Although the system will direct you to
your desired destination, it may not
always generate what you consider to be
the most direct rout e. Try changing the
method of routing. See Changing the
Routing Method on page 46. You may
also have Unverified Area Routing set
to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 83.
Additionally, the mapping database
contains verified and unverified maps.
See Map Overview on page 6. A
Disclaimer screen will warn you if your
route includes unverified streets.
Unverified streets may be missing from
the map, in the wrong location, or have
an incorrect name or address range.
Exercise addition al caution when
driving in these unverified areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the
navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find this
code? There should be a card in the glove box with the anti-theft code for the
navigation/audio syst
em. This card contains the 4-digit security code and
serial number. If you cannot find it , your dealer can help you out.
I speak a language other than English. When will other
languages be available for the navigation system? This is being considered
as a future enhancement.

Navigation System137
Glossary
Map Matching - The received GPS
information allows the navigation
system to position the vehicle on the
map. Map matching has occurred if
the map screen is displaying the
current street name in the bottom-
shaded area.
Mic - Abbreviation for the microphone
used for receiving voice commands.
It is located near the map light in the
ceiling.
MP3 - A music file format that can be played from a CD-R, USB thumb
drive, or PC card.
MW - Maneuver Window. While en
route to a destination, this window
displays informatio n about the next
maneuver.
Navi - Abbreviation for the navigation
system.
North Pointer - The map symbol showing the map orientation. See
page 55. Off Route -
This occurs when the user
leaves mapped roads. Off-road
tracking dots (“breadcrumbs”) are
displayed if the option is enabled in
the Setup screen. The user can use
them to return to a mapped road. The
bottom of the navigation screen will
say, “Not on a digitized road.”
Outlying Areas - These are rural areas
that typically have only their main
roads mapped. All other roads are
shown in light brown for reference
only, since they have not been
verified.
PC Card - An adaptor card (sometimes
called a PCMCIA card) that can
contain a compact flash, or SD media
clip with MP3 or WMA music files.
PIN - Personal Identification Number.
A 4-digit number created by the
customer to protect personal
information.
POI - Point of Interest. These are the
businesses, schools, etc. found under
the Places option on the Enter
destination by screen. See page 31. Polygon - Colored areas on the
map
screen denoting parks, schools, etc.
See Map Screen Legend “Map
Features” for a list of the assigned
colors. See page 50.
QWERTY - Keyboard layout
resembling the typewriter keys. The
keyboard layout can be changed to an
alphabetical layout in the Setup,
Basic Settings screen.
Reminder - Automatic “pop-up”
Calendar message. See Calendar on
page 70.
Secure Digital (SD) Media - These can
be installed into a PCMCIA adaptor
to play MP3 or WMA music files.
Security Code - Code needed to
activate the navigation system or
audio unit. See Entering the Security
Code on page 97.
Touch Sensor - The touch sensor on the
front of the LCD consists of a touch
sensitive resistive membrane with an
infinite number of possible touch
locations. The sensing locations are
confined to a grid of 20 vertical and
10 horizontal touch locations.
