System Setup
Edit Waypoint Search Area
When driving en route to your 
destination, you can select a temporary 
destination waypoint (marked with a 
small flag on the map) along your route 
for gas, a restaurant, or other POI. When 
you resume your trip from the waypoint, 
the system continues the trip to your 
original destination. To use this feature, 
see  Waypoints on page 65.
This Setup item allows  you to select the 
distance from your highlighted route 
line (on either side of your route) that 
the system will search for a waypoint. 
From the  Routing & Guidance  screen, 
select  Edit for “Edit Waypoint Search 
Area,” and then choose the desired 
search distance for either “On 
Freeways” or “On Surface Street.” The diagram below shows how the 
system handles the search for “Places 
Along the Rout
e” or “Places Around the 
Destination” (see  Waypoints on 
page 65). For “Places Along the Route,” the 
system looks in front of you within a 
corridor width specified by your values 
for “On Freeways” or “On Surface 
Street.”
The system checks the upcoming area, 
based on your input.
For “Places Around the Destination,” 
the system searches outwards in a spiral 
from the destination. In this case, 
specific search values are not needed; 
the matches are displayed in order of 
distance from destination.
NOTE:
These settings do not affect the search 
range used for the voice commands like 
“Find nearest gas station” that are also 
available when viewing the 
map screen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Map and Features, Voice Operation, Entering Addresses
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 sy stem in a safe manner.
The  Setup  or Information  screen has “grayed out” items that 
I cannot select. Why? You need to select 
OK on the Disclaimer  screen to view these items. See 
System Function Diagram  on page21.
I tried entering an address, but th e city or street could not be 
found. Is there any other way to route to the location? Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. Try entering the street 
first. In rural “unverified” areas or ne
w subdivisions, streets may be missing 
or only partially numbered.  Try selecting the destination directly from the 
map. See  By Map Input  on page38.
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 databa se to see what letters are possible and “grays out” 
letters that do not apply.
How do I delete Personal Addre sses, Previous Destinations, 
or the Home Address? This is done in the 
Setup screen (second) under “P ersonal Information.” 
See page 80.
I cannot hear the navigation  system voice. 1) Ensure that Volume in the Setup  screen (first) is not  Off. See page 77.
2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the  Setup screen (second), and set  Voice 
Recognition Feedback  to On . See page 96.
The voice control system is ha ving 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 page13). Say “Help” at any 
screen to see a list of the applicable  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 destinati on address, it sounds strange. 
What causes this? The basic guidance phrase uses a studio
-recorded voice, but the street name 
is pronounced by the system us ing a machine-generated voice. 
Consequently, the name may be misp ronounced or sound strange at times.
