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.
Problem Solution
When I shift gears, the rear camera image is delayed. When shifting into or out of reverse, you may experience delays when the
screen image switches between the navigation screen and the rear camera
image. This is normal.
The rear camera image is too dark or too bright. How do I
adjust the brightness? While the camera image is displaye
d, use the rotating portion of the
Interface Dial (knob ) to adjust the brightness . This adjustment does not
affect the SETUP screen brightness adjustments.
Problem Solution
My clock frequently changes forward and backward by one
hour. Why is this? The clock is being automatically set ba
sed on your GPS location. If you live
and work on the boundary between two time zones, you can turn off this
feature. See page 114 (Auto Time Zone).
When driving near a time zone border, the time changes even
though I am not near the time zone. Why is this? The time zone borders are only appr
oximated in the system. Depending on
the geography of the time zone boundary, the switch to a different zone can
be erratic. See page 114 (Auto Time Zone).
My state does not observe dayli ght saving time. How do I turn
off this feature? You can turn off this feature. See page
114 (Auto Daylight).

ts a VIN-recognition anti-theft system. If the

a code. Press and hold the audio power button for two seconds to resume
system operation. The system may ne ed a few moments to reacquire the
