The diagram below shows how the system handles the search for places “Along the route” or “Around the destination” (see Waypoints on page 59).
System Set-up
For “Search 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 “Search 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 effect the search range used for the voice commands like, “Find the nearest gas station,” that are also available when viewing the map screen.

Navigation System
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.
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 Driving to Your Destination on page 43.
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 mile, or the 80, 200, 400, and 800 meter scales. Use the ZOOM IN/OUT buttons to change the scales if necessary.
NOTE: To clear existing dots, turn this feature off and exit Set up. To re-enable this feature, return to Set up and turn it on again.
Main Menust 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.
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.
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.
3. Use the ZOOM IN/OUT 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.
System Set-up
NOTE: If you continually have to do this, there is 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 Set up screen.
5. As you drive, the current road will
be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Navigation System 89
Main Menust Entering the Security Code If the battery goes dead or is disconnected for any reason, you will have to enter a security code for the navigation system before you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you should have received a card that has the system’s security code and serial number. Keep this card in a safe place in case you need the code. If you lose the card, you must obtain the security code from your dealer.
Enter the four-digit security code, then select Done. If you have entered it correctly, the display changes to the Disclaimer screen. If you make a mistake, the system will display "Incorrect PIN". Re-enter the 4-digit security code. You have ten chances to enter the correct code. If all ten are incorrect, turn the ignition to OFF, then back to ON (II) to have ten more chances to enter the correct code.
NOTE: The anti-theft security code is unrelated to your optional Navigation system PIN (for Personal or Home Address).
System Initialization
System Initialization If for any reason, you lose power to the navigation system (like 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 to ‘‘unlock’’ the system.
• 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.

Navigation System
Main Menust 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:
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 changes to the Disclaimer screen. If within ten minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your position, the following screen appears:
Navigation system is unable to acquire a proper GPS signal. - Move vehicle to another location - Turn the ignition switch off - Disconnect the battery for 30 minutes to clear the GPS receiver’s memory - Reconnect the battery and follow the screen prompts
After 30 minutes with this screen displayed, turn off the engine and restart the car. If you now see the Disclaimer screen, the GPS initialization is complete. The green GPS icon should appear in the upper left corner of the screen.
System Initialization
NOTE: • The average acquiring time is less than 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
• If the system is still unable to acquire
a signal, follow the instructions on the screen, or contact your local dealer for assistance.
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.
Navigation System
91
Main Menust System Limitations
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 signals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) 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.
92
Navigation System
Also, 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.
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 44). You may also have Unverified Area Routing set to “OFF” (see Unverified Area Routing on page 77).
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.
The destination icon shows the approximate location of the destination. This happens 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), an address of 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 actually is.
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.
Main Menust 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 fail or move to new locations, 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.
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
Database Limitations
• Bridge height, width, weight, or
other limits
• Road, traffic or traffic facilities
safety, or conditions • Weather conditions • Special events • Pavement characteristics or

Navigation System
Solution
Ensure that the Volume setting in Set up screen (first) is not OFF (see Set up Screen (first) on page 68). Verify that the “Voice Feedback” in Set up screen (second) is set to ON. Ensure that the vehicle is as quiet as possible when speaking (see Improving Voice Recognition on page 13). The GPS antenna (located under the center of the dash) may be blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the dash, such as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles. Window metallic tinting or other after-market devices can interfere with the GPS reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on page 92. The factory default is “no routing in unverified areas.” If you wish to have routing, choose “Unverified Area Routing ON” in Set up screen (second). Minor errors are bound to occur in a large database. If you encounter major errors, you can report them following the instructions on page 94. You cannot obtain a new DVD from the dealer (see Obtaining a Navigation Update DVD on page 94). The version is on the label of your DVD. It starts with “Ver:.” See Changing the DVD on page 95 for how to remove the DVD. The mapping database vender is constantly verifying new and existing areas that currently show on the map as unverified. Alaska and Hawaii are not covered. See page 97 for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
Main Menust Frequently Asked Questions
Problem
Solution
Will the navigation system work outside North America?
My battery was disconnected, or went dead, and the navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find this code? I forget the PIN for Home, or the PIN for personal addresses (User 1, or User 2). How do I reset it? I speak a language other than English. When will other languages be available for the navigation system? My elevation (shown when I touch the vehicle position icon) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation has not changed. My system does not route me the same way I would go. Why is this? How can I input my destination using map coordinates?
Can I play video DVD’s in my navigation system?
Why is the street I’m on not on the map? It has been here for a year.
The navigation system contains maps only for the lower 48 states, and Canada. The system will not work in Mexico, or outside of North America. Canada coverage is limited (see Map Coverage on page 97). There should have been a card in the glove box with the 4-digit anti-theft code for the navigation/audio system. This card contains the security code and serial number. If you cannot find it, your dealer can help you out. See information regarding PINs on page 74. Your dealer can reset the PIN for you. This is being considered as a future enhancement.
This is normal, and due to errors in satellite position (see System Limitations on page 92).
The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route (see Changing the Routing Method on page 44). The navigation system was not designed for this. However, you can view the coordinates of an address by touching the “VP” icon on the map. No. The system is designed only to read the DVD provided with your vehicle. The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page 94 for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
