System Setup
Clock AdjustmentFrom the Setup screen (second), say or 
select  Clock Adjustment  and the 
following screen appears:
This screen allows y ou 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 TimeSets 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 Daylight 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 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.

Coverage AreasOperation in Alaska and 
HawaiiCertain functions that rely on a satellite 
signal will not work correctly in Alaska 
and Hawaii. These functions include but 
are not limited to XM radio, automatic 
clock updates, and time zone 
adjustments.AlaskaIf the vehicle was purchased in the 
lower 48 states and driven to Alaska, the 
system cannot display maps. The 
message “Vehicle is out of the 
database...” will be displayed.HawaiiThis section describes the differences in 
navigation system operation for vehicles 
delivered in Hawaii.
XM RadioNavigation-equipped vehicles delivered 
to Hawaii are equipped with XM 
hardware, but XM broadcasting is not 
available; therefore sections of the 
manual that mention XM audio do not 
apply. Vehicles originally delivered to 
the U.S. mainland and shipped to Hawaii 
also have XM, but will not function 
because the XM satellites (aimed toward 
the U.S. mainland) are too far away to 
obtain reception.Map CoverageAll roads displayed on the Hawaii  map 
screens are detailed coverage roads. 
Text related to “unverified” roads or 
areas are not applicable. The following 
topics do not apply in Hawaii:
 Unverified road descriptions (see  page 6 and 87).
 Cautions and pop-up windows related  to unverified roads (see page 64).  Setup entries that relate to turning on 
or off unverified routing (see 
page 87).
 When zooming in and out, there is no  350-mile scale for Hawaii.
Other Map Issues
 See the coverage se ction for a list of 
islands with coverage (see page 110).
 Freeway Exit information does not  exist in Hawaii, so the “Freeway Exit 
Info” icon is not shown on the icon 
bar.

Coverage Areas
Address and POI Entry ScreensWhen in Hawaii, the following 
differences occur for map, address, and 
POI selection:
 It is not possible to enter U.S. 
mainland addresses or scroll the map 
east to the U.S. mainland.
 Selection of the “State” is confined to  the state of Hawaii only.
 Entry of a destination address or POI  on an island other than your current 
island may result in a screen caution 
message. This is normal because 
there are no “ferry” routes between 
islands available in the database.
 If the “Guidance Prompts” setting on  the  Setup  screen is set to normal or 
maximum, street names will not be 
spoken in voice guidance commands.
Setup Screen DifferencesThe  Setup  screen differences are minor 
and are listed below. See the Setup 
section (page 77) for additional 
information.Routing and Guidance (Unverified 
Area Routing On/Off)This feature is unavailable. All roads 
displayed on the map are verified.Clock Adjust ScreenThere is no daylight saving time for 
Hawaii.  Auto Daylight Saving 
Time , Auto Time Zone by GPS , and 
DST Selection  will not be shown on 
the  Clock adjustment  screen. To test 
your adjustment, use the voice control 
system, and say “What time is it?” (see 
page 97).Bluetooth
® HandsFreeLink
® 
Operation
When pairing a cell phone to use the 
Bluetooth ® HandsFreeLink® feature, 
you may see a “Phone-Data 
Connection” screen. If so, do not 
complete this portion of the process.
Shipping a Vehicle To or From 
HawaiiAlthough the DVD in the vehicle 
contains maps for both U.S. mainland 
and Hawaii, the dealer must perform the 
selection of “U.S. mainland” or 
“Hawaii” for you. When the dealer 
makes the switch from U.S. mainland to 
Hawaii or vice versa, the system clears 
all user data. Make sure to record any 
personal information that you do not 
want to lose.
NOTE:
Shipping a vehicle from Hawaii to the 
U.S. mainland
 If you wish to receive XM audio you 
must call XM and set up an account 
at (800) 852-9696.
Shipping a vehicle from the U.S. 
mainland to Hawaii
 If a U.S. mainland-delivered vehicle  is shipped to Hawaii, there is no XM 
reception. See your Hawaii dealer to 
allow viewing of local Hawaii maps.
 The issues under “Operation in  Hawaii” above apply.

Miscellaneous Other Questions
Problem Solution
The display appears dim when st arting the car in really cold 
weather. Is there a problem? No. This is normal, and it will become brighter after a few minutes.
The screen does not close completely. Why is this?  Ensure that it is not during inserting/ejecting a CD. The screen cannot be 
closed if a CD is not completely inserted in the unit.
 Ensure that it is not during inserti ng/ejecting the DVD. The screen cannot 
be closed if the DVD is not completely inserted in the unit.
Problem Solution
When I shift gears, the rear camera image is delayed. When shifti ng into or out of reverse, you may experience delays when the 
screen image switches between the na vigation screen and the rear camera 
image. This is normal.
The rear camera image is too da rk or too bright. How do I 
adjust the brightness? While the camera image is displayed, us
e the Zoom In/Zoom Out controls to 
adjust the brightness. This adjustme nt does not affect the Setup screen 
brightness adjustments.
Problem Solution
My clock frequently changes forward and backward by one 
hour. Why is this? The clock is being automatically set based on your GPS location. If you live 
and work on the boundary between two time zones, you can turn off this 
feature. See page 98.
When driving near a  time zone border, the time changes even 
though I am not near the time zone. Why is this? The time zone borders are only approximated in the system. Depending on 
the geography of the time zone boundary, the switch to a different zone can 
be erratic. See page 98.

Frequently Asked QuestionsMy state does not observe daylight saving time. How do I turn 
off this feature?You can turn off this feature. See page 97.
Daylight saving time occurred, but the navigation system did 
not change time even though Setup shows  Auto Daylight 
Saving Time  is On . Go to the 
Clock adjustment  screen in Setup and select  DST Selection.  
Ensure that the correct DST schedule is  selected. For more information, see 
Clock Adjustment  on page 97.
The navigation system automatic daylight time feature is not 
switching the navigation system  clock on the correct dates. 
Why is this? 1) Go to the Clock adjustment
 screen in Setup and ensure that  Auto 
Daylight Saving Time  is On.
2) The navigation system is designed to switch to daylight saving time 
according to the months selected in the  DST schedule selection screen.  
Ensure that the appropriate schedule  is selected. For more information, 
see  Clock Adjustment  on page 97.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no 
apparent reason. What can cause this? 1) You may be driving near a time zone boundary (see 
Auto Time Zone by 
GPS  on page 98).
2) The navigation system does not switch between standard and daylight 
saving time. Set  Auto Daylight Saving Time  to On  on the Clock 
adjustment  screen in Setup, and ensure  that the correct month switching 
schedule is chosen on the  DST schedule selection  screen. See page 97 
for more information.
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the 
navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find this 
code? There should be a card in the glove 
box with the anti-theft code for the 
navigation/audio system. This card contains the 4-digit security code and 
serial number. If you cannot find it, your dealer can help you out.
I speak a language other than English. When will other 
languages be available for the navigation system? This is being considered as a future enhancement.
