Clock Adjustment
From the Setup screen (second), say or
select Clock Adjustment and the
following screen appears:
This screen allows you to set or adjust
the following:
 Auto Daylight Saving Time (Default = On)
 Auto Time Zone by GPS (Default = On)
 DST (Daylight Saving Time) Selection
(change DST schedule)
 Time Adjustment (adjust your clock)
 Reset button (resets this screen’s
settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight Saving Time
Sets automatic daylight saving time On
or Off . If set to On, the clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
back” by one hour when a daylight
saving time change occurs. If you reside
in a state or area where daylight saving
time is not used, then you may want to
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
If you set Auto Day light Saving Time to
On , the daylight saving time function is
activated even in an area that does not
use daylight saving time.
The federal government mandated that
starting in 2007, daylight saving time
begins in March and ends in November
instead of the old schedule from April to
October. The new schedule is subject to
review and possible cancellation in
2008-2009. The schedules for the time changes are
stored in the software and can be
selected in the
DST schedule
selection screen. Therefore, your clock
will change based on the daylight saving
time schedule.
NOTE:
The automatic clock setting feature
relies on a satellite signal. It will not
work correctly in Hawaii and Alaska.

government and return ed back to the
previous “April-October” schedule. If
so, simply change the schedule in this
setting back to the “April-October”
schedule.

System Initialization
System Initialization
If for any reason you lose power to the
navigation system (e.g., the battery was
disconnected), the navigation system
will require initialization. Once
completed, your system will be ready to
use.
This initialization requires the
following:
 Entry of the 4-digit anti-theft security code.
 GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the le ngth of time the
system was without power).
 Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map
(displays current street at the bottom
of the map).
Entering the Security Code
If the battery goes dead or is
disconnected for any reason, you will
have to enter a security code for both the
audio system and the navigation system
before you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you
should have received two cards
containing the audio and navigation
system’s security codes and serial
numbers. Keep these cards in a safe
place in case you need the codes. If you
lose the cards, you must obtain the
security codes from your dealer. Enter the four-digit security code, then
select
Done. If you make a mistake, the
system will display “incorrect PIN.” Re-
enter your 4-digit security code. If you
have entered it corr ectly, the display
changes to the Disclaimer screen. You
have 10 chances to enter the correct
code. If all 10 are incorrect, turn the
ignition to OFF, then back to ON (II) to
have 10 more chances to enter the
correct code.
Follow the instructions in the vehicle
Owner’s manual to enter the 5-digit
audio code. The navigation voice will
not operate if the audio code is not
entered.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated
to your optional navigation system PIN
(for Personal Address Book or Home
Address).

Database Limitations
You will find that some points of
interest (POI) may be missing when you
search the database. This can be caused
if at the time the database was gathered,
the name was misspelled, the place was
improperly categorized, or the POI
change is not yet in the database. This
means you may not find places listed
that you know exist. This is also true for
police agencies and hospitals. In
outlying areas, facilities listed may not
be the closest. Always check with local
information sources if you need law
enforcement or hospital services.
Every effort has been made to verify
that the system’s database was accurate
at the time it was created. However,
businesses do close or relocate, and new
businesses start in the old locations. For
this reason, you may occasionally find
inaccurate information when you select
and drive to a point of interest (for
example, a restaurant is now a jewelry
store). The number of these inaccuracies
increases the longer you go without an
update. The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various
points in time before production.
Accordingly, your
DVD may contain
inaccurate or inco mplete data or
information due to the passage of time,
road construction, ch anging conditions,
or other causes.
Due to ongoing software and database
improvements, navigation disc versions
may change in the middle of a
production year. The version shipped
with your vehicle was the most recent
available at the time of production and
is considered standard equipment for
that vehicle. There is no free program to
retrofit early production vehicles with
the latest disc. For DVD ordering
information, see page107. In addition, this database does not
include, analyze, proc
ess, 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
 Road traffic, safety, or conditions
 Weather conditions
 Special events
 Pavement characteristics or conditions
