Why does the vehicle position icon on the map “lag” a 
short distance behind my actual position, especially at 
intersections?
This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the 
width of intersections. Large differences in vehicle position 
can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.
Why does the “time to destination” display sometimes 
increase even though I am getting closer to my 
destination?
The “time to destination” is based on the posted road 
speed signs and your actual road speed to give you a 
better estimate of arrival time.
Why does my clock frequently change the time forward 
and backward by one hour?
The clock setting is automatically updated based on your 
GPS location. If you normally drive between two time 
zones, the clock may keep adjusting the time. You can 
turn this feature off.

How do I specify a destination when an entered city or 
street could not be found?
Try entering the street first. Some cities are lumped in with 
a major metro area. In rural  “unverified” areas or new 
subdivisions, streets may be  missing or only partially 
numbered.
How do I turn on the navigation system voice guidance?
1. Press the INFO button. Rotate  i to select  Setup and 
press  u. Check that  Volume is not set to  OFF.
2. Move  y to select  Other, rotate i  to select Basic 
Settings , and press  u. Set  Voice Recognition Tutor  
to  ON  if you want the system  to provide confirmations 
and system prompts.
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the 
navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find it?
Your vehicle comes with a card in the glove box that 
includes the 5-digit security code and serial number. You 
should keep this card in a safe place outside your vehicle. If 
you cannot find it, contact your dealer.

Solution
The navigation system does not route me the same 
way I would go or the same way as other mapping 
systems.
The navigation system attempts to generate the optimal route. You can change the 
route preferences used when calculating a route. 2Changing the Route Preference

The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.
The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. You can access the most 
recent information on the internet. 2Map Coverage 
P. 237
The vehicle position icon is not following the road and 
the “GPS icon” text in th e upper left hand corner of 
the screen is white or missing.
• Check that the GPS antenna (located in the dashboard) is not blocked. For best  reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones, 
or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devi ces can interfere with the GPS reception. 
Please consult your dealer. 2 GPS System

The blue highlighted route and voice guidance 
stopped or turned into a blue/pink dashed line before I 
got to my destination.
Your route has entered an unverified area. 2Unverified Area Routing

How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive along?
Press the MAP/GUID E button. Select Map Information  > North-up , or say d 
“Display north-up”  to change the map orientation.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and 
Heading-up map orientations.
The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales (1/20 - 1 mile 
scales). 2Map Scale and Functions 
P. 111
The “time to destination” display sometimes increases 
even though I am getting closer to my destination.
If your speed reduces due to slower traffic,  the navigation system updates the “time to 
destination” based on your actual road speed 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.
This is normal. The navigation system is un aware of the width of intersections. Large 
differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal. 2 GPS System

System Limitations
Database
Reference Information
In addition, the map database contains 
verified and unverified areas. Unverified 
streets may be missing from the map, in 
the wrong location, or have an incorrect 
name or address range. A message will 
warn you if your route includes unverified 
streets. Exercise additional caution when 
driving in unve rified areas.
The database does not  include, analyze, 
process, consider, or reflect any of the 
following categories of information:
• Neighborhood quality or safety
• Population density
• Availability or proximity of law 
enforcement
• Emergency, rescue, medical, or other 
assistance
• Construction work,  zones, or hazards
• Road and lane closures
• Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, 
weight, load, height, and speed 
restrictions)
• Road slope or grade
• Bridge height, width, weight, or other 
limits
• Traffic facilities safety
• Special events •
Pavement characteristics or conditions
Every effort has been made to verify that 
the database is accurate. The number of 
inaccuracies you experience increases the 
longer you go without obtaining an 
updated map database.
