• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
(page 123)
• Troubleshooting Guide (page 133)
• Glossary of Terms (page 135)
• Voice Command List (page 138)
• Operation Specific to Alaska and
Hawaii (page 121)
System Overview
Your navigation system is a highly sophisticated location system with voice control that uses satellites and a map database to show you where you are and to help guide you to a desired destination.
The navigation system receives signals from the global positioning system
(GPS), a network of 24 satellites in orbit around the earth. By receiving signals from several of these satellites, the navigation system can determine the latitude, longitude, and elevation of your vehicle. In addition, a gyroscopic yaw sensor and a vehicle speed sensor in your vehicle keep track of the direction and speed of travel at all times.
NOTICE
This vehicle’s navigation display, if so equipped, includes mercury-containing components. Upon removal, please reuse, recycle, or dispose of as hazardous waste.
4 Navigation System
The navigation system applies location, direction, and speed information to the maps and calculates a route to the destination you enter. As you drive to that destination, the system provides map and voice guidance.
The navigation system is easy to use.
The locations of many places of business and entertainment are already entered in the system. You can select any of them as a destination by using the touch screen, joystick, or voice control.
There are several ways to enter a destination, such as by point of interest
(POI), by address, by phone number, and by selecting it from the map. The last 50 destinations are saved for reuse at a later date. The system also allows you to store a home address to simplify returning home from your destination.
Accessories Precautions
If you have front or side window tinting installed, be aware that if the tint has metallic properties, it can seriously degrade or prevent GPS reception. This is because the GPS antenna is located under the dashboard.
If you plan to install electronic components, such as radar detectors, vehicle tracking devices, remote starters, additional amplifiers, or other audio components, ensure that they are not located near the navigation control unit under the dashboard, near the navigation screen in the dash, or near the GPS antenna under the dashboard.
Signal noise emanating from these devices can cause intermittent disruption of the navigation system.
Introduction
Important Safety Information
The navigation system can distract your attention from the road if you focus on the screen or operate the system’s controls while driving.
Enter as much information as possible into the system before you begin driving, or when the vehicle is stopped.
Then, as you drive, listen to the audio instructions and use voice commands when possible.
Navigation System 5
Introduction
WARNING
Using the navigation system while driving can take your attention away from the road, causing a crash in which you could be seriously injured or killed.
Only operate system controls when the conditions permit you to safely do so.
While driving, do not look at the screen or operate the system controls for more than a second or so at a time, and only after deciding you can do so safely. Pull to the side of the road if you need more time to look at the screen or operate the controls.
The navigation system is designed to provide route information to help you reach your destination. However, this route guidance may sometimes conflict with current road conditions such as street closures, road construction, detours, and out-of-date map data.
Additionally, the system itself has certain limitations (see page 99).
Therefore, you must verify the audio and visual route information provided by the system by carefully observing the roadway, signs and signals, etc. If you are unsure, proceed with caution.
Always use your own good judgment, and obey traffic laws while driving.
Map Overview
Current Street
The current street on which your vehicle is appears at the bottom of the map screen (see page 19). A message saying
“Not on a digitized road” may appear instead when you drive half a mile away from a mapped road. For more details, see Off-road Tracking on page 60.
Verified/Unverified Street
Your navigation system has two kinds of streets: verified (dark colored) and unverified (light colored). The differences between the two types of streets are contrasted in the chart on page 7.

“to go”
Verified streets (dark colored)
These roads are found within metropolitan areas, and include interstate freeways and major roads connecting cities.
Shown on daytime map screen as black or red, such as interstate freeways.
The database vendor has verified these streets.
Information like turn restrictions, average speed, and whether it is a one-way street have been gathered and used when creating your route to a destination.
While driving to your destination, the displayed route line is solid blue. The system provides voice and map guidance to your destination.
There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during a route. However, because roads constantly change, you are urged to use common sense, and always obey posted traffic restrictions.
Voice guidance issues instructions such as “In a halfmile, make a right turn.”
The time and distance “to go,” displayed while en route to a destination, is based on the average speed and distance for the roads used for your route.
Unverified streets (light colored)
These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include residential streets away from the center of a town.
Shown on the daytime map screen as light brown.
These streets have not been verified by the database vendor. The system does not contain information on one-way streets, turn restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown on the map for reference and may have errors in map location, naming, and address range.
Your route line is either a blue dotted “vector line,” or a dashed pink/blue line. For information on selecting this option, and the routing differences, see Unverified Area Routing on page 84.
Regardless of whether the user chooses route guidance, there are cautionary screens before and during the route urging the user to be extra cautious, and obey all traffic restrictions. See Unverified
Area Routing on page 84.
The phrase “if possible” is added to each guidance instruction.
For example: “In a half-mile, make a right turn, if possible.”
Because the average speed of these roads is not known, the time and distance “to go” is based on a fixed average speed of 25 mph for these roads.

Navigation System 11
Getting Started
Voice Control Basics
Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of most of the navigation system functions. You can also control the audio and climate control system. The voice control system uses the NAVI TALK and NAVI
BACK buttons on the steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.

NAVI BACK button
HFL BACK button
NOTE:
While using the voice control system, the audio system is muted.
12 Navigation System
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system as much as possible, and consider manual entry using the joystick as a backup method of entry.
Most of the system’s functions can be controlled by voice commands activated with the NAVI TALK button. To control the navigation system by voice:
• Press and release the NAVI TALK button.
• Wait for the beep.
• Give a voice command.
Once the microphone picks up your command, the system changes the display in response to the command and prompts you for the next command.
Using the NAVI TALK button, answer the prompts as required.
If the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a command, it responds with “Pardon,”
“Please repeat,” or “Would you say again.” If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the screen you are on, it sounds a beep.
Anytime you are unsure of what voice commands are available on a screen, you can always say “Help.” The system will then read the list of available commands to you.
When you give a command, the system generally either repeats the command as a confirmation or asks you for further information. If you do not wish to hear this feedback, you can turn it off.
However, hearing the feedback will familiarize you with the way the system expects commands to be phrased. See the Voice Recognition Feedback setting in Setup.
Getting Started
If you hear a prompt such as “Please use the touch screen to...” or “Please choose an area with the joystick,” the system is asking for input that cannot be performed using the voice control system.
Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition when using either the navigation or
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® voice control system, the following guidelines should be followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command that
you are using. See Voice Command
Index on page 138.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow against the microphone on the ceiling.
• Close the windows.
Navigation System 13
Getting Started
• If more than one person is speaking at the same time, the system may misinterpret your command.
• After pressing and releasing the
NAVI TALK button, wait for the beep, then give a voice command.
• Give a voice command in a clear, natural speaking voice without pausing between words.
• If the system cannot recognize your command because of background noise, speak louder.
• If you are still having trouble with the voice control system, refer to Voice
Command Help on the
Information screen.
Selecting an Item (Button) on the Screen
On most screens, there are items that can be selected (like buttons with titles such as OK or Return ). To select an item on any screen, do one of the following:
• Use the voice control system and say the name of the desired item. Almost all selectable items on the screen, including some listed items, are recognized by the voice control system.
• Touch the desired item on the screen.
• Move the highlighting to the desired item with the joystick, then push in on the joystick.
Tip:
If items are grayed out, this means that they cannot be selected.
Selecting an Item in a List
To scroll through a list, do one of the following:
• Use the joystick to scroll through the list item by item.
• Use the voice control system and say
“Next” or “Previous” or use the “onscreen” scroll up or down buttons, or the ZOOM buttons to scroll through the list page by page.
If you cannot find the desired name, or have made an error, return to the previous screen by pressing the
CANCEL or the NAVI BACK button.
To select the desired item in the list, do one of the following:
• Use the voice control system, and say the item number of the desired item.
• Touch the item on the screen.
• Use the joystick to move the highlighting to the item, then push in on the joystick.
14 Navigation System
Using the On-screen
Keyboard
When the system needs input from you, the display changes to a keyboard. Use the displayed letters to enter the information. Enter each letter by one of the following methods:
• Using the voice control system, say the desired letter on the screen.
• Move the highlighting to the desired letter using the joystick, then push in on the joystick.
• Touch the desired letter on the screen.
When speaking the letters or using
“spell mode,” you can substitute the name that represents each letter or symbol. This improves recognition. The system will only respond to the names shown in the following graphic. For example:
• To select the letter “A”: Say, “ A ”;
“ Alpha ”; or “ Apple .”
• To select the letter “M”: Say, “ M ”;
“ Mike ”; or “ Mary .”

This selection requires you to enter the city (and possibly the state) and the address that you want to go to.
Intersection (see page 27)
This selection allows you to enter the names of two intersecting streets in a city. This is useful if you know the general location of your destination, but not the exact address.

Tip:
• When entering an address by voice, it is more efficient to say the city name first, then the street name.
• When entering an address by touch, it is usually easier to enter the street first. A city or cities that the street appears in will be displayed. For your convenience, you do not have to enter both city and street.
NOTE:
• If you find that your city is not listed, it may be part of a larger metropolitan area. Try entering the street first.
• Prior to departure, you can set areas to avoid. The system then includes them in its calculations for the destination you have entered. See
Edit Avoid Area on page 88.
Selecting the State or Province
The state you are in is displayed at the top of the screen. If your desired destination is in another state, select
Change State .
The display then changes to the Enter state name screen. Use the voice control system and say the name of the state or use the on-screen keyboard to enter the name of the state.

By Touch Control:
Select City , and the display then changes to the Enter city name screen.
Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the name of the city.
The system will display a list of city names, with the closest match to the name you entered at the top of the list.
Select the number (1-6) of the desired city from the list.
You should select a letter by saying the number.
Alternatively, to improve voice recognition, you can say “Echo” or
“Edward” instead of “E.”
See page 15 for a list of available words for each letter.
24 Navigation System
If the system does not find an exact match, select List when you finish entering the name of the city. Most of the cities and towns for that state are listed.
Listings of cities and towns in the nondetailed coverage area may have an asterisk “*” next to their names. If you select one, a pop-up box is displayed saying, “No detailed street data...”, and a street address cannot be entered (see
Map Coverage on page 108). Try entering the street first, and then select the city if available.
Select View Dest. Map and use the joystick to select an icon, approximate area, or street you wish to choose as your destination. Otherwise, a central location of the city will be selected. If you select a point of interest (POI) or road in an unverified area, you may or may not have routing in these areas. See

(like ELM or 42ND) that is your destination.
To enter the name of a major highway, you must use the full name, including a hyphen. For interstates, use an “I” (I-
10). For U.S. highways, use “US” (US-
18). For state highways, use the two character state designation (CA-101).
For county roads, use the appropriate designation (G-2, for example).
Tip:
When entering a street, you do not need to enter the direction (N, S, E, W) or the type (St, Ave, etc.). The system will automatically determine that for you, based on your entered city and street number.
The system will display a list of street names, with the closest match to the name you entered at the top of the list.

For example, the address 1527 should be spoken as “One, five, two, seven.” You can also use the on-screen keyboard to enter the street number.
Some address numbers may not be available on the selected street. For example, let’s say the individual address ranges for a selected street name are 1 -
20 and 9,000 - 10,000, with an overall range shown on the display of 1 to
10,000. If you try to enter a number outside the individual address ranges such as 500, the system will show this number as unavailable (grayed out).
• When using the on-screen keyboard, the system only allows you to choose available address numbers.
• When using voice control, the system beeps if you try to select an unavailable (grayed out) address number.
If you did not select a city in the beginning, the street name you selected might appear in more than one city. The system will give you a list of cities that the street appears in. Select the desired city from the list. The system then displays the Calculate route to screen
(see Driving to Your Destination on page 45).

Changing the Routing Method
The system lets you select the way you want to drive to your destination. Before selecting OK to calculate a route, you can change the routing method by using the CHANGE METHOD scroll bar back ( ) or forward ( ) buttons. The route choices will appear in the address box.
NOTE:
When you are en route and want to change the routing method, press the
MENU button, and select Change
Routing Method on the Change route by screen.
• “Direct Route” (the factory default) is the route that is the quickest (least time) and is usually the best choice. If you choose any other method, it becomes the new default for all future routing. Make sure to check the routing method if the displayed route is not what you expected to see.
• “Easy Route” produces a route with the least turns.
• “Maximize Freeways,” “Minimize
Freeways,” and “Minimize Toll
Roads” are also available.
NOTE:
If the trip is greater than 100 miles, then
“Minimize Freeways” and “Minimize
Toll Roads” may be grayed out. This is normal.
The generated route may not be the route you would choose. For safety reasons, the system generally applies the following rules to your route:
• It tries to avoid shortcuts through residential areas.
• Right turns are favored over left turns or U-turns.
• Restricted turns (turns that cannot be made during certain hours) are not used for routing.

Guidance Prompts
As you get near the maneuver, you will hear a voice reminder and see a pop-up window showing you the maneuver.
The number of reminders that you will hear before a maneuver is determined by Guidance Prompts in Setup on page 76.
With the factory default (Normal), typically you will hear two prompts:
• The first is about 1/4 mile from the maneuver.
• The final maneuver is close to your actual turn.
If the distance between the next two driving maneuvers is very small, both maneuvers are displayed on the screen in a single window, and the voice will remind you of both of them at the same time.
NOTE:
• You can say “Voice” or select
VOICE on the screen at any time to be reminded of the next maneuver.
• Typically, a pop-up guidance window shows your next turn, and a voice guidance prompt is heard. The timing of these prompts varies, depending on the type of road you are on, and the distance to your next maneuver.
When given guidance in unverified areas, the words “if possible” are inserted before each guidance prompt.

When you select a destination, the distance to the destination is the actual road distance of the calculated route, and not “as the crow flies.” When viewing a list of destinations (points of interest), such as restaurants, the distance is “as the crow flies” (see Sort
by Distance to Travel on page 35).
The displayed time to the destination may differ from the actual travel time because the time is calculated based on the posted road speed data and your current speed. If part of your route includes unverified roads, the “distance” and “time to go” for that portion is estimated using 25 mph as an average speed.

“North Up”
Touch the Map Orientation icon on the map screen to switch between the available orientation, or say “Display heading up” or “Display north up.”
In the larger map scales (above

Destination Icon
The destination icon only shows the approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed by the 1500 block). Most cities use only a portion of the 100 possible addresses
(for example, in the 1400 block, the addresses may only go up to 1425 before the 1500 block starts). Therefore, the address 1425 will be shown a quarter of the way down the block by the system instead of near the end of the block where the destination is actually located.

60 Navigation System
Viewing/Saving the Current
Location
Whenever you are on a map screen, you can always obtain your current location either by touching the Vehicle Position icon or by using the voice control system and saying “Display current location.” A screen pops up which shows the address of your current location, as well as the latitude, longitude, and elevation.
NOTE:
The elevation will not appear when the system is temporarily lacking proper
GPS information. The system elevation may not agree with elevations shown on roadside elevation signs, and may fluctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more.
You can store the current location for later use. It does not change or cancel your current route.
For example, you are following the system’s directions to get to a destination. While sitting at a stoplight you notice a store on the corner, but do not have time to visit it right now. You can save the location to select as a destination at a later date.
Driving to Your Destination
To save the location, say “Save current location” or select Save on the screen.
When you select “User 1” or “User 2,” the Edit address book screen with the current location data will appear. You can edit the name, phone number, or category name to be saved in your personal Address Book.
After the location is saved, select
Return to return to the map screen.
You can then use Address Book from the Enter destination by screen to select the saved location and return to the same spot.

The next few pages contain an example of a route to a destination in an unverified area explaining the routing differences found in unverified areas.
With Unverified Area Routing Off , the system tries to use verified roads whenever possible. In this example, since only verified streets are used, it created a longer route than necessary.
With Unverified Area Routing On , the route is shorter, but consists of unverified (light colored) streets that may not be accurate. Because the streets are unverified, there may be errors in street location, name, or address range.
Additional caution is recommended in these areas. Always obey posted traffic restrictions.
Because both routes bypass or use unverified streets, an initial Disclaimer screen is provided. It is recommended that you stop and review the map.
Unverified Area Routing “Off”
NOTE:
Unverified roads are shown only when viewing the map in the 1/20, 1/8, and
1/4 mile map scales, or the 80, 200, and 400 meter map scales.
Navigation System 85
System Setup
With Unverified Area Routing Off , the moment you enter an unverified street, a caution box appears on the screen and is read by the voice. This lets you know that you are about to enter an unverified area and that you will be following a dotted “vector line” that points to your destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On , a caution box appears on the screen and is read by the voice. In this case, you will be presented with a dashed blue/ pink line instead of the regular blue route line. This is your signal to pay attention to posted traffic restrictions.
You cannot assume that all guidance is appropriate.
In both cases, when you actually enter the unverified street, a short caution will remind you. You will see and hear this short caution message whenever you enter unverified areas.

86 Navigation System
With Unverified Area Routing Off , you are presented with a blue “vector line” that always points to the destination. You must manually choose streets from the map that will lead to your destination. No guidance is provided, and there are no directions to the destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On , a blue/pink route line is shown for unverified segments. Voice guidance commands in unverified areas always end with “if possible.” This is your signal that you should use additional caution, and obey all traffic restrictions.
The maneuver window “arrow” shows any portions of unverified turns in blue/ pink dashes.
These guidance maneuvers are only a suggestion. You should always confirm that the maneuver is possible. A direction list is also provided that shows any unverified roads in a blue color, with pink arrows pointing to the next maneuver.

Edit Avoid Area
This function allows you to select areas you wish to avoid when calculating a route to your destination. You can select up to five areas to avoid. You may wish to set up an “avoid area” to route around long-term road construction, closures, or any area you wish to avoid. If you enter a route that takes you through or into an “avoid area,” a pop-up box will warn you that your route takes you into one of these areas. However, you can still choose destinations in an avoided area.
When you select Edit for the Setup item
“Edit Avoid Area,” the following list screen is displayed:
You can select New Area or select (by touch) one of your existing areas to modify. If you choose New Area , the following screen is displayed:
Either select Address or Map Input on the Enter avoid area by screen.
Each choice provides a slightly different way to locate the approximate map display for drawing the area you wish to avoid. After selecting the choice, a map screen will be displayed.
Say or select Edit Name and use the keyboard to enter the name on the Enter avoid area name screen (19 characters max). Say or select Done to return to the previous screen. Say or select Edit
Area to create the area to be avoided.
The following screen appears:
Use the ZOOM buttons to select the map scale (available scales are 1/20,
1/8, and 1/4 mile scales). Use the joystick to move the crosshairs (red circle) to the desired start point and push in the joystick to “set” the start point.
Then move the joystick in a straight or diagonal direction to encompass the area to be avoided.
88 Navigation System
NOTE:
The maximum size of the “Avoid area” is 1/4 of the navigation display screen regardless of the map scale setting.
The selected area will be displayed as a shaded box with a yellow border. Push in on the joystick to set the end point of the avoided area. To “redraw” the area, touch Cancel and repeat the area selection process. If your selected area contains a freeway, the system will prompt you with a pop-up box saying
“Do you want to avoid freeways?”
Answering “No” allows you to enter a route through an avoided area on a freeway and skip the “Avoid area caution box.” See Pop-Ups and
Disclaimers on page 62.
Say or select Done to return to the Edit area screen. When you return, the
“Vicinity” field is automatically filled in by the system. Re-edit the area “Name” if desired. Select Done on the Edit avoid area screen to finish editing.
Your new avoided area will now appear on the “Avoid area” list and be viewable on the map screen.
System Setup
NOTE:
• You can select areas to avoid, however you cannot select roads or areas that you want the system to use for routing.
• If you are drawing a box around a road as an area to avoid, then ensure the following: When you draw the box, make sure that the road or portion of a road that you encircled includes an intersection. For instance, in the example below, highway 213 will be avoided, but Van
Ness will not be avoided because it lacks an intersection in the enclosed box.
Navigation System 89
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 63.
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 Route” or “Places Around the
Destination” (see Waypoints on page 63).
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.

Off-road Tracking
With this On , the system will provide white off-road tracking dots
(“breadcrumbs”) on the map screen whenever you drive into an area where the map does not show any roads.
See Map Screen Legend on page 19.
System Setup
After you have traveled approximately
1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the system will display a series of white dots on the map screen to show the path you have traveled. This is provided so you can follow the dots to backtrack to the mapped road you originally left.
Tracking continues until you reach a mapped road. See Off-road Tracking on page 60.
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile scales, or the 80, 200,
400, and 800 meter scales. Use the
ZOOM buttons to change the scales if necessary.
NOTE:
To clear existing dots, turn this feature off and exit Setup. To re-enable this feature, return to Setup and turn it on again.
Navigation System 91
System Setup
Correct Vehicle Position
The system relies on satellites for positioning information. Buildings, tunnels, and other objects can block or reflect these signals, requiring the system to use “dead reckoning” to determine your location and direction.
This can sometimes lead to small errors in positioning, such as showing you on an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle position is not recommended. When the system acquires a GPS signal, it will automatically place the vehicle in the correct location.
If you choose to do this, follow these steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Select Adjust , and the system will display a map adjustment screen.
3. Use the ZOOM buttons and the joystick to move the location arrowhead to the correct location.
Touch the arrow buttons on the bottom of the screen to rotate the direction arrows so the vehicle position is pointing in the correct direction.
NOTE:
If you continually have to do this, there are either problems in the database or
GPS reception problems. See
Accessories Precautions on page 5.
4. When you have finished, press the joystick or select Done to return to the previous screen.
5. As you drive, the current road will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

(change DST schedule)
• Time Adjustment (adjust your clock)
• Reset button (resets this screen’s settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight Saving Time
Sets 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 schedule is subject to review and possible cancellation in
2010-2011.
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 in Hawaii and Alaska.
94 Navigation System
Auto Time Zone by GPS
Sets automatic time zone selection by
GPS to On or Off . If you are driving across the country and passing through time zones, then this feature will automatically set the time to the time zone you are traveling through.

96 Navigation System
System Initialization
If for any reason you lose power to the navigation system (e.g., the battery was disconnected), the navigation system will require initialization. Once completed, your system will be ready to use.
This initialization requires the following:
• Entry of the 4-digit anti-theft security code.
• GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the length of time the system was without power).
• Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map
(displays current street at the bottom of the map).
Entering the Security Code
If the battery goes dead or is disconnected for any reason, you will have to enter a security code for both the audio system and the navigation system before you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you should have received two cards containing the audio and navigation system’s security codes and serial numbers. Keep these cards in a safe place in case you need the codes. If you lose the cards, you must obtain the security codes from your dealer.
System Initialization
Enter the four-digit security code, then select Done . If you make a mistake, the system will display “incorrect PIN.” Reenter your 4-digit security code. If you have entered it correctly, the display changes to the Disclaimer screen. You have 10 chances to enter the correct code. If all 10 are incorrect, turn the ignition to OFF, then back to ON (II) to have 10 more chances to enter the correct code.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated to your optional navigation system PIN
(for Personal Address Book or Home
Address).
Navigation System 97
System Initialization
GPS Initialization
Depending on the length of time the battery was disconnected, your system may require GPS initialization. If it does, the following screen appears:
The navigation system lost power and is acquiring its location from the GPS satellites. This usually takes less than 10 minutes.
* Start the engine.
* Park the vehicle in an open area away from trees,
power lines, and tall buildings.
* Remove loose articles, cell phones, or electrical
accessories located near the GPS antenna.
* If this screen is displayed repeatedly when starting
the vehicle, see your dealer.
If this procedure is not necessary, the system proceeds directly to the
Disclaimer screen (see page 16).
During initialization, the system searches for all available GPS satellites and obtains their orbital information.
During this procedure, the vehicle should be out in the open with a clear view of the sky.
If the navigation system finds the satellites properly, this box clears and the Disclaimer screen is shown. If within 10 minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your position, the following screen appears:
Something is interfering with the system’s ability to acquire its location. Check the following:
* The vehicle must be in an open area with a clear
view of the sky.
* Remove sources of GPS interference like metallic
window tint above antenna, or electrical items
near antenna (see owner's manual for details).
* Check GPS antenna cable connection.
* Restart the engine and repeat the GPS acquire
procedure. If the problem persists, see your dealer.
If the system is still unable to acquire a signal, follow the instructions on the screen, or contact your local dealer for assistance.
NOTE:
The average acquiring time is less than
10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
Map Matching
This part of the initialization matches the GPS coordinates found above with a road on the map screen. To perform this part of the procedure, ensure that the navigation system is displaying a map, and drive the vehicle on a mapped road
(a road shown on the map screen). Do not enter a destination at this time.
When the name of the current road you are driving on appears at the bottom of the screen, the entire procedure is complete. Your system is now ready to use.
98 Navigation System
Although your navigation system is one of the most highly sophisticated pieces of equipment you will find in a modern automobile, you may find during its use that it has certain limitations.
The system uses GPS signals to aid in determining its current location. The
GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built into the GPS that the navigation system must constantly compensate for.
This can cause occasional positioning errors of up to several hundred feet.
For example, in urban areas where streets are close together, this could cause the system to show that you are traveling on a street that parallels the street you are actually on. The system will, under most circumstances, correct itself while you drive.
Depending on your current view of the sky and the position of the satellites, the elevation may be shown incorrectly.
You may also notice some delay of the vehicle position icon at intersections; this is normal.
GPS Reception Issues
The signals received from the GPS satellites are extremely weak (less than a millionth of the strength of a local FM station) and require an unobstructed view of the sky. The signal can easily be interrupted or interfered with by the following:
• Aftermarket metallic window tint above or to the sides of the GPS antenna (located under the dashboard)
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle or lying loose on the dashboard
• Radar detectors mounted on the dashboard
• Remote starters, or “hidden” vehicle tracking systems mounted near the navigation unit
System Limitations
• Other aftermarket audio electronic devices mounted near the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead electrical power wires
Although the system will direct you to your desired destination, it may not always generate what you consider to be the most direct route. Try changing the method of routing. See Changing the
Routing Method on page 46. You may also have Unverified Area Routing set to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on page 84.
Additionally, the mapping database contains verified and unverified maps.
See Map Overview on page 6. A
Disclaimer screen will warn you if your route includes unverified streets.
Unverified streets may be missing from the map, in the wrong location, or have an incorrect name or address range.
Exercise additional caution when driving in these unverified areas.
Navigation System 99
System Limitations
The destination icon shows the approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed by the 1500 block). Since most cities use only a portion of the 100 possible addresses (for example, in the 1400 block, the addresses may only go up to
1425 before the 1500 block starts), the address 1425 will be shown a quarter of the way down the block by the system instead of at the end of the block where the destination is actually located.
You may find that the system occasionally reboots. This is indicated by the display returning to the globe screen. A reboot can be caused by a number of things, such as extreme temperatures or shock from bumpy roads. It does not necessarily indicate a problem that requires service. If this happens frequently, please see your dealer.
100 Navigation System
You will find that some points of interest (POI) may be missing when you search the database. This can be caused if at the time the database was gathered, the name was misspelled, the place was improperly categorized, or the POI change is not yet in the database. This means you may not find places listed that you know exist. This is also true for police agencies and hospitals. In outlying areas, facilities listed may not be the closest. Always check with local information sources if you need law enforcement or hospital services.
Every effort has been made to verify that the system’s database was accurate at the time it was created. However, businesses do close or relocate, and new businesses start in the old locations. For this reason, you may occasionally find inaccurate information when you select and drive to a point of interest (for example, a restaurant is now a jewelry store). The number of these inaccuracies increases the longer you go without an update.
The digitized map database reflects conditions as they existed at various points in time before production.
Accordingly, your DVD may contain inaccurate or incomplete data or information due to the passage of time, road construction, changing conditions, or other causes.
Due to ongoing software and database improvements, navigation disc versions may change in the middle of a production year. The version shipped with your vehicle was the most recent available at the time of production and is considered standard equipment for that vehicle. There is no free program to retrofit early production vehicles with the latest disc. For DVD ordering information, see page 104.
Database Limitations
In addition, this database does not include, analyze, process, consider, or reflect any of the following categories of information:
• Neighborhood quality or safety
• Population density
• Availability or proximity of law enforcement
• Emergency, rescue, medical, or other assistance
• Construction work, zones, or hazards
• Road and lane closures
• Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, load, height, and speed restrictions)
• Road slope or grade
• Bridge height, width, weight, or other limits
• Road traffic, safety, or conditions
• Weather conditions
• Special events
• Pavement characteristics or conditions

Reporting Errors
Occasionally, you may encounter database errors.
• If the error pertains to freeways and main “verified” roads shown in black on the map, then report it either online at
http://update.navteq.com/, or to
Honda Customer Service.
• If the error involves a light brown
“unverified” road, then do not report it. These areas have not been verified, and are provided for reference only
(see Map Overview on page 6).
• For errors in points of interest (POI), like a business that has changed its name, do not report them. Keep in mind that depending on when the data was collected and when your DVD was purchased, the database can be out of date. The business may have not reported the change(s), or not be in the database at all. Update
Navigation DVDs are available for purchase, usually in the fall of each year.
• If the error does not involve the database, such as vehicle position icon errors, screen error messages, or other GPS-related errors, see

PC Card Operation
A PC card with WMA or MP3 audio files can be played through the audio system and controlled using the navigation voice control system. PC card (PCMCIA) adaptors and various media chips can be purchased at any computer store. Tested media chips include Compact Flash and SD media, up to 2GB. Other media types and storage capacities may work, but have not been tested. Hard disc drive type media are not recommended because they can fail in a hot vehicle. See the
FAQs section for additional information.
PC card slot
Inserting the PC Card
Ensure that the PCMCIA PC card adaptor contains the media chip, and that the card adaptor is fully inserted in the slot, otherwise the display door will not close. Once the card is inserted and the door closed, there is a delay while the system reads the tag information
(the folders, song titles, etc.). Once the tag information is read, the “CARD” or
“TRACK LIST” buttons will function.
For more information on the search feature, see the audio section of your
Owner’s Manual.
Voice Control of PC Card
Functions
The navigation voice control system can be used to select the first 30 tracks directly by using the command, “Card play track X” (X=1-30). Additional voice commands allow the card tracks, artists, and albums to be played in a random, repeat, or scan mode. See the complete list of “Card” voice commands starting on page 143.
CD/CD-R Operation
A CD or a burned CD-R with MP3 or
WMA media files can be played by the audio system and controlled using navigation voice commands. The display door will not close with a partially inserted CD in the slot. Once the display closes, there may be a slight delay before the “CD” or “TRACK
LIST” buttons function. This is because the system has to read the tag information (artist, album, and track names) to allow searches to function.
For more information on the search feature, see the audio section of your
Owner’s Manual.
NOTE:
Ensure that burned CD-R discs do not have “stick-on” paper labels. The label adhesive can melt in a hot vehicle, and allow the label to curl up and jam the
CD mechanism. Use a felt-tipped marker to label your CD-R discs.

120 Navigation System
Operation in Alaska and
Hawaii
Certain functions that rely on a satellite signal will not work in Alaska and
Hawaii. These functions include but are not limited to 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.
Map Coverage
All 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 84).
• Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page 62).
• Setup entries that relate to turning on or off unverified routing (see page 85).
• 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 108).
• 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 Screens
When 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.
Navigation System 121
Coverage Areas
Setup Screen Differences
The Setup screen differences are minor and are listed below. See the Setup section (page 74) 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 Screen
There 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 94).
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
Hawaii
Although 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.
122 Navigation System
Frequently Asked Questions
Map and Features, Voice Operation, Entering Addresses
Problem
Why does the Disclaimer screen need to be displayed every time I start the car? I am the only driver.
The Setup or Information screen has “grayed out” items that
I cannot select. Why?
I tried entering an address, but the city or street could not be found. Is there any other way to route to the location?
When I enter an address, some letters become grayed out. Is this normal?
How do I delete Personal Addresses, Previous Destinations, or the Home Address?
I cannot hear the navigation system voice.
The voice control system is having difficulty recognizing my voice commands.
When the system pronounces the street name in the guidance command or reads the destination address, it sounds strange.
What causes this?
Solution
The Disclaimer screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always operate the navigation system in a safe manner.
You need to select OK on the Disclaimer screen to view these items. See
System Function Diagram on page 21.
Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. Try entering the street first. In rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be missing or only partially numbered. Try selecting the destination directly from the map. See By Map Input on page 36.
Yes. As you enter each letter in an address or a point of interest (POI), the system looks in the database to see what letters are possible and “grays out” letters that do not apply.
This is done in the Setup screen (second) under “Personal Information.”
See page 77.
1) Ensure that Volume in the Setup screen (first) is not Off . See page 74.
2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the Setup screen (second), and set Voice
Recognition Feedback to On . See page 93.
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 page 13). 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.
The basic guidance phrase uses a studio-recorded voice, but the street name is pronounced by the system using a machine-generated voice.
Consequently, the name may be mispronounced or sound strange at times.
Navigation System 123
Frequently Asked Questions
Problem
When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch to the night display mode. Why?
The daytime map screen is dark like the night display mode, and it is hard to see. Why?
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?
How can I input my destination using map coordinates?
How do I change or remove my PIN?
I forgot the PIN for Home, or the PIN for personal addresses
(User 1 or User 2). How do I reset it?
Solution
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 75.
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 75.
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 75.
The navigation 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 50.
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 81.
PINs are optional. See information regarding PINs on page 81. Your dealer can reset the PIN for you.
124 Navigation System
Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
Problem
The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or the way some other mapping program displays. Why is this?
Solution
The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Routing Method on page 46.
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been here for more than a year.
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 mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page 104 for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
• 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 99.
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?
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this?
Your route has entered an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on page 84.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations. Why is this?
While driving to my destination, the “time to go” display sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer.
Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by touching the map orientation icon on the map screen. See Map Orientation on page 55.
The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page 54.
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 99.
Navigation System 125
Frequently Asked Questions
While I drive, my screen shows white dots (“breadcrumbs”) on it. What do they mean?
Problem
How can I get rid of the white dots (“breadcrumbs”) from my screen?
A road that I selected to avoid is being used when routing.
What is wrong?
When I arrive at my destination, the bull’s-eye is shown at a different location on the street. Why?
Solution
These are called “breadcrumbs.” If you drive more than 1/2 mile from mapped roads, the off-road tracking feature begins to function. See Off-road
Tracking on pages 60 and 91.
Go to “Vehicle” in the to Off
Setup screen (second), and set
, then return to the map. See page 91.
that include at least one intersection. See page 88.
Off-road Tracking
When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads
My elevation (shown when I touch the vehicle position icon) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation has not changed.
My elevation is missing on the “current position” screen.
Why?
The system calculates the bull’s-eye location based on the street address range allocated for that street. See Destination Icon on page 55 for an example.
This is normal and due to errors in satellite position. The elevation can vary
+/- 100 feet. See System Limitations on page 99.
If the GPS antenna cannot receive at least four satellites, the elevation is not displayed. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. If the elevation is zero or below sea level, the elevation is also not displayed.

Problem
I want to buy a new DVD. How do I purchase one?
I want to order a DVD. How can I determine the DVD version in my navigation system?
I got a navigation DVD from a friend or an online source, but it does not work. Why?
When is my city going to become part of a fully verified
Will the navigation system work outside North America?
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?
Can I play video DVDs in my navigation system?
Solution
You cannot obtain a new DVD from the dealer. See Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD on page 104.
The version is on the label of your DVD. It starts with “Ver:.” See Changing
the DVD on page 105.
Your vehicle was designed to use a turquoise (blue/green) DVD. DVDs with differently colored labels or from different manufacturers will not operate correctly. Always obtain DVDs from the DVD order desk. See page 104.
The mapping database vendor is constantly revising map coverage. See page 104 for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
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 108.
The coverage area (Hawaii or U.S. mainland) must be selected by your dealer.
I found some errors in the database. How do I report them?
No. The navigation system is designed only to read the turquoise (blue/ green) DVD provided with your vehicle. Map discs for other vehicle manufacturers or PC map programs will not work.
Minor errors are bound to occur in a large database. If you encounter major errors, you can report them following the instructions on page 103.
Navigation System 127
Frequently Asked Questions
Display, PC Card, Accessories
Problem
The display appears dim when starting the car in really cold weather. Is there a problem?
The screen does not close completely. Why is this?
Solution
No. This is normal, and it will become brighter after a few minutes.
Where can I get PC card adaptors or the media chips that go into them?
How do I put music files onto the PC Card ?
• 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 inserting/ejecting the DVD. The screen cannot be closed if the DVD is not completely inserted in the unit.
• Ensure that a PC card is inserted completely. The screen cannot be closed if a PC card is not completely inserted in the unit. Moreover, the recognition of a PC card takes about 1-2 seconds after it is inserted. The screen cannot be closed during this recognition.
• Ensure that the media clip is inserted into the PC card adaptor. Eject the
PC card adaptor when not in use.
• Any computer store sells PCMCIA PC card adaptors, and various types and capacities of media chips for them. Ask for Compact Flash or SD media and adaptors.
• Hard Disk Drive type media are not recommended because they can fail in a hot car.
You can use your home PC to move MP3 or WMA music files to your PC card. Most laptops have a slot to plug in your PC card. For desktop PCs,
USB adaptors are available that can accept your PC card or media chip.
Move files to the card like to any other hard drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Problem
I insert a PC card with music files, but the CARD button or navigation “PC Card” voice commands do not work. What’s wrong?
Some of the files on the PC card will not play, or I have an eight GB card with 2500 songs, but only 999 play. Why is this?
When I eject the media chip but leave the empty adaptor in the PC card slot, the display door will not close. Why is this?
The media card will not fully insert into the PC card slot.
What is wrong?
Solution
• After inserting the card, a delay of up to 30 seconds may be required to read the tag information (album, artist, and track names) - this is normal.
• Ensure that the music files on the media chip are either WMA or MP3 music format. Other formats are not recognized.
• Some downloaded WMA and MP3 files are copy protected, and require that the copyright authentication files accompany the MP3/WMA files on the Card.
• Media types and capacities continue to grow. As a rule, stick to Compact
Flash or SD media with capacities of 2GB or less. Other types of media or larger capacities may work, but have not been tested.
• Single-type media PC Card adaptors are recommended over multimediatype adaptors.
• Ensure that there are files on the card. For SD and other media with a write-lock switch, ensure that the write protect is off when adding files to the card.
• The system only recognizes FAT and FAT-32 file format for the media.
• The quantity of tracks is limited to 999 tracks and a file structure of up to eight folder levels deep. Tracks beyond 999 are simply not recognized.
• Ensure that the music files on the media chip are either WMA or MP3 music format. Other formats are not recognized.
To prevent damage to the display mechanism or your PC card/media chip, the system checks for a partially inserted PC card and a partially inserted media chip. Always remove the PC card and media chip when not in use.
• The PC card edge connector or the pins in the back of PC card slot may be damaged.
• Never force the card into the slot - the adaptor card should glide smoothly into the slot. See your dealer if the problem persists.

Frequently Asked Questions
Problem
I insert a CD-R with music files, but the CD button or “CD” voice commands do not work. What is wrong?
Solution
• After inserting a CD-R with WMA or MP3 files, a slight delay may occur before the CD button operates. The system needs to read the tag information (album, artist, and track names) to allow searches - this is normal.
• Ensure that the music files on the CD-R are WMA or MP3 format. Other formats are not recognized.
• Some WMA and MP3 files are copy protected, and require that the copyright authentication files accompany the MP3/WMA files on the CD.
Note:
Never use CD-R discs with stick-on labels. The labels can curl and jam the CD mechanism, requiring replacement of the navigation unit and subsequent loss of all personal information.

Frequently Asked Questions
Miscellaneous Other Questions
My clock frequently changes forward and backward by one hour. Why is this?
Problem Solution
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 95.
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 95.
You can turn off this feature. See page 94.
My state does not observe daylight saving time. How do I turn off this feature?
Daylight saving time occurred, but the navigation system did not change time even though Setup shows Auto Daylight
Saving Time is On .
The navigation system automatic daylight time feature is not switching the navigation system clock on the correct dates.
Why is this?
Go to the Clock adjustment
Clock Settings on page 94.
screen in Setup and select DST Selection .
Ensure that the correct DST schedule is selected. For more information, see
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 Settings on page 94.
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 95).
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 94 for more information.
Navigation System 131
Frequently Asked Questions
Problem
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find this code?
I speak a language other than English. When will other languages be available for the navigation system?
Solution
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.
This is being considered as a future enhancement.
132 Navigation System
Troubleshooting
Screen Error Message Solution
