Coverage Areas
Operation in Alaska and
Hawaii
Certain 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.
Alaska
If 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.
Hawaii
This 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 section 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
Problem Solution
The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or
the way some other mapping program displays. Why is this?The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Routing Method on page 48.
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page 108 for
ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road, and the
“GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is
white or missing.• The GPS antenna (located under the center of the dashboard) may be
blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the
dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on
page 103.
I entered a destination, but the blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my destination. Why is this?Your route has entered an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 87.
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this? Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by touching the map
orientation icon on the map screen. See Map Orientation on page 57.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations. Why is this?The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page 56.
While driving to my destination, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer.The “Time to go” is based on actual road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based on your actual speed to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short distance
behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong?No. When at an intersection, the system is unaware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page 103.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ordering a Navigation DVD, Coverage, Map Errors, Limitations
Problem Solution
I want to buy a new DVD. How do I purchase one?You cannot obtain a new DVD from the dealer. See Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD on page 108.
I want to order a DVD. How can I determine the DVD version
in my navigation system?The version is on the label of your DVD. It starts with “Ver:.” See Changing
the DVD on page 109.
I got a navigation DVD from a friend or an online source, but
it does not work. Why?Your vehicle was designed to use a white DVD. DVDs with differently
colored labels or from different manufacturers will not operate correctly.
Always obtain DVDs from the DVD order desk. See page 108.
When is my city going to become part of a fully verified
detailed coverage area?The mapping database vendor is constantly revising map coverage. See
page 108 for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
Will the navigation system work outside North America? The navigation system contains maps only for the lower 48 U.S. states,
Hawaii, and portions of southern Canada. The system will not work in
Mexico, Alaska, or overseas. Canada coverage is limited. See Map
Coverage on page 110.
I moved my vehicle from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii (or
from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland). Why does my navigation
system not show the correct map?The coverage area (Hawaii or U.S. mainland) must be selected by your
dealer.
Can I play video DVDs in my navigation system? No. The navigation system is designed only to read the white DVD provided
with your vehicle. Map discs for other vehicle manufacturers or PC map
programs will not work.
I found some errors in the database. How do I report them? Minor errors are bound to occur in a large database. If you encounter major
errors, you can report them following the instructions on page 107.

Glossary
Glossary
The following is a glossary of terms
pertaining to the voice recognition
navigation system.
Avoid Area - Areas you wish to avoid
can be entered into the system, and
will be avoided while routing.
Breadcrumbs - Off-road tracking dots
that can be followed on the map to
retrace your route back to a mapped
(digitized) road. This function can be
turned on/off in the Setup screen
(second).
Database - This consists of the map
data, and the POI (Points of Interest)
data stored on the DVD.
DCA - Detailed Coverage Area. The
main metropolitan areas in the lower
48 U.S. states, Hawaii, and southern
Canada are mapped to this level. See
page 110 for a list of these areas.Digitized Road - A road that appears on
the navigation screen. The road name
will appear at the bottom of the
navigation screen. If the user drives
“off road,” the navigation system will
display “breadcrumbs,” depending on
how far you drive from a mapped
road.
Disclaimer Screen - Screen containing
cautionary information. It is meant to
be read carefully and acknowledged
by the customer when using the
navigation system.
DVD or DVD-ROM - Digital Versatile
Disc. The navigation program and
database resides on this disc. For
information on how to order a
replacement or update DVD, see
page 108.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions. See
page 126 for a list of customer FAQs
and troubleshooting information.GPS - Global Positioning System. A
network of 24 satellites in orbit
around the earth. The navigation
system can simultaneously receive
signals from up to 12 satellites to
accurately position the vehicle on the
map.
GPS Antenna - Located under the
dashboard. Electronic items operating
in this general location can interfere
with the GPS signal.
HFL - Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®.
Your vehicle is equipped with this
feature, which uses Bluetooth
technology as a wireless link between
the vehicle and your Bluetooth-
compatible cell phone.
Icon - Symbol representing Points of
Interest (POI) that can be displayed
on the map.
Initialization - This refers to the period
needed to reacquire the GPS satellite
orbital information whenever the
navigation system power has been
disconnected. This can take 10 to 45
minutes with the vehicle out in an
open area.
