Problem
Solution
The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed every
time I start the car.
This is normal. The Startup Confirmation screen reminds you and your guest drivers to
always operate the navigation system in a safe manner. The Startup Confirmation
screen goes off after a certain period of time and the top screen of the last mode is
displayed.
The navigation system reboots by itself (returns to the
opening screen).
A reboot can be caused by extreme temperatures or shock from bumpy roads, and
does not necessarily indicate a problem. If this happens frequently, please see a dealer.
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.
• Try selecting the destination directly from the map. 2Map Input
P. 105
Why do some letters become grayed out when I enter
an address?
As you enter each letter in an address or a place/landmark, the navigation system
looks in the database to see what letters are possible and grays out letters that do not
apply.
How do I delete Personal Addresses, Previous
Destinations, or the Home Address?
1.Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Personal Info to display the
types of information.
2.Select the type of address to delete.
3.Select Delete.
I cannot hear the navigation system voice.
1.Press the SETTINGS button. Select System Settings and check that Volume is not
set to 0.

vehicle is as quiet as possible, and you are using the correct command when
speaking. 2Voice Recognition

The navigation system pronunciation of street names
in the guidance command or destination address
sounds strange.
The basic guidance phrases use a studio-recorded voice, but street names are
pronounced using a machine-generated voice. Consequently, the name may be
mispronounced or sound strange at times.
The screen is bright when I drive at night.
1.Check that the nighttime dashboard brightness control is not set to maximum.

If the system fails to locate a sufficient
number of satellites to locate your position
within 10 minutes, the following screen is
displayed.
