Navigation System121
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 83).
• Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page 62).
• Setup entries that re late to turning on or off unverified routing (see page 84).
• 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 (page 73) 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 page 93).
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.

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 20.
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 36.
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 76.
I cannot hear the navigation system voice. 1) Ensure that Volume in the Setup screen (first) is not Off. See page 73. 2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the Setup screen (second), and set Voice Recognition Feedback to On. See page 92.
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.

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 page 74.
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 page 74.
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 page 74.
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 page 50.
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 page 80.
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 re garding PINs on page 80. Your dealer can reset the PIN for you.

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 46.
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 103 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 98.
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 83.
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 55.
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 54.
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 98.

126Navigation System
While I drive, my screen s hows white dots (“breadcrumbs”) on it. What do they mean? These are called “breadcrumbs.” If you drive more than 1/2 mile from mapped roads, the off-road tracking feature begins to function. See Off-road Tracking on pages 60 and 90.
How can I get rid of the whit e dots (“breadcrumbs”) from my screen? Go to “Vehicle” in the Setup screen (second), and set Off-road Tracking to Off, then return to the map. See page 90.
A road that I selected to avoi d is being used when routing. What is wrong? When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that include at least one intersection. See page 87.
When I arrive at my destination, the bull’s-eye is shown at a different location on the street. Why? The system calculates the bull’s-eye location based on the street address range allocated for that street. See Destination Icon on page 55 for an example.
My elevation (shown when I t ouch the vehicle position icon) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation has not changed. This is normal and due to errors in sa tellite position. The elevation can vary +/- 100 feet. See System Limitations on page 98.
My elevation is missing on th e “current position” screen. Why? If the GPS antenna cannot receive at least four satellites, the elevation is not displayed. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. If the elevation is zero or below sea level, the elev ation is also not displayed.

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 page 103.
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 page 104.
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 tu rquoise DVD. DVDs with differently colored labels or from different manuf acturers will not operate correctly. Always obtain DVDs from the DVD order desk. See page 103.
When is my city going to become part of a fully verified detailed coverage area? The mapping database vendor is cons tantly revising map coverage. See page 103 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 system will not work in Mexico, Alaska, or ove rseas. Canada coverage is limited. See Map Coverage on page 107.
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 system is designed only to read the turquoise DVD provided with your vehicle. Map discs for 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 follow ing the instructions on page 102.

Display, PC Card, Accessories
Problem Solution
The display appears dim when starting the car in really cold weather. Is there a problem? No. This is normal, and it will become brighter after a few minutes.
The screen does not close completely. Why is this? • Ensure that it is not during inserting/ejecting a CD. The screen cannot be closed if a CD is not completely inserted in the unit.• Ensure that it is not during insert ing/ejecting the DVD. The screen cannot be closed if the DVD is not completely inserted in the unit.• Ensure that a PC card is inserted co mpletely. The screen cannot be closed if a PC card is not completely inserted in the unit. Moreover, the recognition of a PC card takes about 1- 2 seconds after it is inserted. The screen cannot be closed during this recognition. • Ensure that the media clip is inserted into the PC card adaptor. Eject the PC card adaptor when not in use.
Where can I get PC card adaptors or the media chips that go into them? • Any computer store sell s PCMCIA PC card adaptors, and various types and capacities of media chips for them. Ask for Compact Flash or SD media and adaptors. • Hard Disk Drive type media are not recommended because they can fail in a hot car.
How do I put music files onto the PC Ca rd ? You can use your home PC to move MP3 or WMA music files to your PC card. Most laptops have a slot to plug in your PC card. For desktop PCs, USB adaptors are available that can accept your PC card or media chip. Move files to the card like to any other hard drive.
Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions
I insert a PC card with music files, but the CARD button or navigation “PC Card” voice comm ands do not work. What’s wrong?
• After inserting the card, a delay of up to 30 seconds may be required to read the tag information (album, artist , and track names) - this is normal. • Ensure that the music files on the media chip are either WMA or MP3 music format. Other form ats are not recognized. • Some downloaded WMA and MP3 files are copy protected, and require that the copyright authentication f iles accompany the MP3/WMA files on the Card.• Media types and capacities continue to grow. As a rule, stick to Compact Flash or SD media with ca pacities of 2GB or less. Other types of media or larger capacities may work, but have not been tested. • Single-type media PC Card adapto rs are recommended over multimedia- type adaptors.• Ensure that there are files on the card . For SD and other media with a write lock switch, ensure that the write protect is off when adding files to the card. • The system only recogni zes FAT and FAT-32 file format for the media.
Some of the files on the PC card will not play, or I have an eight GB card with 2500 s ongs, but only 999 play. Why is this?
• The quantity of tracks is limited to 999 tracks and a file structure of up to eight folder levels deep. Tracks beyond 999 are simply not recognized. • Ensure that the music files on the media chip are either WMA or MP3 music format. Other form ats are not recognized.
When I eject the media chip but leave the empty adaptor in the PC card slot, the display door will not close. Why is this? To prevent damage to the display mechanism or your PC card/media chip, the system checks for a partially inserted PC card and a partially inserted media chip. Always remove the PC ca rd and media chip when not in use.
The media card will not fully in sert into the PC card slot. What is wrong? • The PC card edge connector or the pins in the back of PC card slot may be damaged. • Never force the card into the slot - the adaptor card should glide smoothly into the slot. See your dealer if the problem persists.
