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 system in a safe manner.
I tried entering an address, but the city or street could not be
found. Is there any other way to route to the location? Some cities are lumped in with a majo
r metro area. Try entering the street
first. In rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be
missing, or only partially numbered. Try selecting the destination directly
from the map. See By Map Input on page 46.
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 database to see wh at letters are possible and “grays out”
letters that do not apply.
How do I delete Personal Addresses, Previous Destinations,
or the Home Address? This is done in the
SETUP screen (Main Setup), under “Personal
Information.” See page 90.
I cannot hear the navigation system voice. 1) Ensure that Volume in the SETUP screen ( Main Setup ) is not OFF.
See page 90 .
2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the SETUP screen ( Other), and set Voice
Recognition Tutor to ON . See page 99.
The voice control system is having difficulty recognizing my
voice commands. Ensure that the vents are not blowing
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 14). Say “Help” at any
screen to see a list of the applicab le 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 destination address, it sounds strange.
What causes this? The basic guidance phrase uses a studio-r
ecorded voice, but the street name
is pronounced by the system using a machine-generated voice.
Consequently, the name may be mispronounced or sound strange at times.
When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch
to the night display mode. Why? Verify the following: The nighttime dash brightness control is not set to
maximum, and
Map Color in SETUP is set to Black for Night. See
Switching Display Mode Manually on page 111.
