System Initialization
GPS Initialization
Depending on the length of time the
battery was disconnected, your system
may require GPS initialization. If it
does, the following screen appears:
If this procedure is not necessary, the
system proceeds directly to the
Disclaimer screen (see page16).
During initialization, the system
searches for all available GPS satellites
and obtains their orbital information.
During this procedure, the vehicle
should be out in th e open with a clear
view of the sky. If the navigation system finds the
satellites properly, this box clears and
the
Disclaimer screen is shown. If
within 10 minutes the system fails to
locate a sufficient number of satellites to
locate your position, the following
screen appears:
If the system is still unable to acquire a
signal, follow the instructions on the
screen, or contact you r local dealer for
assistance.
NOTE:
The average acquiring time is less than
10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45
minutes.
Map Matching
This part of the initialization matches
the GPS coordinates found above with a
road on the map screen. To perform this
part of the procedure, ensure that the
navigation system is displaying a map,
and drive the vehicle on a mapped road
(a road shown on the map screen). Do
not enter a destina tion at this time.
When the name of the current road you
are driving on appears at the bottom of
the screen, the entire procedure is
complete. Your system is now ready to
use.
The navigation system lost power and is acquiring its
location from the GPS satellites. This usually takes
less than 10 minutes.
* Start the engine.
* Park the vehicle in an open area away from trees,
power lines, and tall buildings.
* Remove loose articles, cell phones, or electrical
accessories located near the GPS antenna.
* If this screen is displayed repeatedly when starting
the vehicle, see your dealer.
Something is interfering with the system’s ability to
acquire its location. Check the following:
* The vehicle must be in an open area with a clear
view of the sky.
* Remove sources of GPS interference like metallic
window tint above antenna, or electrical items
near antenna (see owner's manual for details).
* Check GPS antenna cable connection.
* Restart the engine and repeat the GPS acquire
procedure. If the problem persists, see your dealer.
