When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch 
to the night display mode. Why? The system thinks it is in Day
 display mode. Verify the following: The 
display mode in Setup is set to  Auto, the dash brightness is not set to 
maximum (must adjust with headlights on), and  Map Color in Setup is set 
to  Black  for Night. See  Display on page 78.
The daytime  map screen is dark like the night display mode, 
and it is hard to see. Why? Verify the following: The display mode in Setup is set to 
Auto, and Map 
Color in Setup is set to  White for Day. See  Display on page 78.
During the day, I turned on the lights because it started to 
rain, but the screen went dark. How can I make it still display 
day mode? Adjust the dash brightness (+) button (with headlights on) to full brightness. 
Remember to set it back to a medium setting, or at night, the screen will be 
bright. See 
Display on page 78.
How can I input my destination using map coordinates? The naviga tion system was not designed for this. However, you can view 
the coordinates of an address by touching the vehicle position icon on the 
map. See  Map Screen Legend  on page 52.
How do I change or remove my PIN? Go  to “Personal Information” in the Setup screen (second), and select  PIN 
Number . Select User 1 or User 2  and enter your existing PIN, and then 
you have the choice to change or remove the PIN. See page 84.
I forgot the PIN for Home, or the PIN for personal addresses 
(User 1 or User 2). How do I reset it? PINs are optional. See in
formation regarding PINs on page 84. Your dealer 
can reset the PIN for you.
CALL  is not available on the  Calculate route to screen. 
Why? Your phone is not paired to HFL, or if 
your phone is paired, it is in use or 
does not have good coverage; press the  HFL BACK button.
