After battery disconnection, or on a
new vehicle, the current position may
not be correct. As soon as the system
receives signals from the GPS, the
correct current position is displayed.
If you must correct the current position
manually, follow the steps on page 95.
The current street name will be displayed
in the bottom of the screen when the set-
ting of the current street name is on.
In some areas, the roads have not been
