Main Menust Frequently Asked Questions
I cannot hear the navigation system voice.
Problem
The voice control system is having difficulty recognizing my voice. The vehicle position icon is not following the road and the GPS text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is white.
I entered a destination, but the blue highlighted route and voice guidance stopped before I got to my destination. I found some errors in the database. How do I report them?
I want to buy a new DVD. How do I purchase one?
How can I determine the DVD version in my navigation system? When is my city going to become part of a fully verified detailed coverage area?
106
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.

Main Menust Frequently Asked Questions
Problem
Solution
My clock frequently changes forward and backward by one hour. Why is this?
My state does not observe daylight savings time. How do I turn off this feature? How do I switch from User 1 to User 2 PIN?
While I drive, my screen shows white dots on it. What do they mean?
How can I get rid of the white dots (“breadcrumbs”) from my screen? The Set up or Information screen has dark gray items that I cannot select. Why? The screen does not be closed completely. 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 87. You can turn off this feature. See page 87.
Go to Set up screen (second), and select PIN Number. Make sure the screen is for you. If you are User 2 and the display says, You are User 1, select User 2 on the screen. 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 56 and 84). Go to Set up screen (second), and select Off-road Tracking Off, then return to the map. See page 84. You need to select OK on the Disclaimer screen to view these items (see System Function Diagram on page 20). 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.

Main Menust Troubleshooting
Screen Error Message
Navigation system is unable to acquire a proper GPS signal.
Navigation unit door is open or No DVD disc is inserted. Please check system. No DVD disc. Please check system.
Display temp is too high. System will shut down until display cools down.
DVD disc reading error (unformatted). Please consult your dealer.
Route has not been completed. Please try again from a different location. No alternate route found. Original route will be followed. This destination cannot be found in database.
Solution
Make sure there is nothing on the dash blocking the GPS antenna, such as after- market metallic window tinting or after-market devices placed on the dash, like radar detectors, cell phones, or loose items. If the dash is clear of objects, move the vehicle to an open space away from tall buildings, trees, etc. Make sure that the navigation DVD disc is inserted with the label side up and the navigation unit door is fully snapped closed (see page 95). Check that the navigation DVD disc is inserted with the label side up (see page 95). If the problem persists, see your dealer. This message will appear briefly when the display temperature is too high, and then the display will turn off until the temperature cools down. The system will turn back on when the display cools down. Check the DVD disc surface for deep scratches or other damage. Make sure you are using a Navigation DVD (turquoise [blue/green] colored label.) The system cannot read other mapping databases or video DVDs. If the problem persists, see your dealer. This message will appear when you are routing to or from a place (new area) that is not in the database. Try planning a different route to or from a different location.* No alternative route method was found. The original route method will be used.* The destination was not found in the database. Try another destination nearby, or select the destination with the joystick.*
* If the error persists, or is shown for a wide area, see your dealer.

Navigation System
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.
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.
The navigation system applies this 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.
Main Menust 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.
Accessories Precautions If you have front 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 dash board.
If you plan to install electronic components such as radar detectors, vehicle location devices, remote starters, additional amplifiers, or other audio components ensure that they are not located near the navigation control unit under the dash board, near the navigation screen in the dash, or near the GPS antenna under the dash board. Signal noise emanating from these devices can cause intermittent disruption of the navigation system.
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. Follow all operating instructions and safety information in this manual.
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.
Navigation System
Main Menust Introduction
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 92). 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 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 following chart.

Cautions
Guidance voice Time and distance “to go”
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 maneuvers such as “In a half mile make a right turn.” The time and distance “to go,” displayed while on route to a destination, is based on the average speed and distance for the roads used for your route.
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 about one-way streets, turn restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown on the map for reference and can 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 77. 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 77). The suffix “if possible” is added to each guidance maneuver. 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
Main Menust Using the Voice Control System Most of the system’s functions can be controlled by voice commands. The voice control system is activated with the Talk button. To control your navigation system by voice, press and release the Talk button, wait for the beep, then 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 Talk button, answer the prompts as required.
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.
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 not sure of what voice commands are available on a screen, you can always say “Help” at any screen. The system can then read the list of commands to you.
When you speak 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. See the Voice Recognition Feedback setting in Set-up.
Getting Started
Improving Voice Recognition To achieve optimum voice recognition, 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 113. • Close the windows and the sunroof. • Set the fan speed to one or two. • Adjust the air flow from the
dashboard vents so they do not blow against the microphone on the ceiling.
• After pressing the 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.
Navigation System
13
Main Menust Getting Started
• If the system cannot recognize your
command, speak louder.
• If the microphone picks up voices
other than yours, the system may not interpret your voice commands correctly.
• If you are still having trouble with
the voice control system, refer to Voice Command Help on the Information screen.

Navigation System
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. Every selectable item on the screen, including some listed items, is 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 buttons are very dark colored, 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 “on screen” scroll up or down buttons, or the ZOOM IN/OUT 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 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.
Main Menust 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.”
The names that can be used for each letter are shown below. For additional keyboard symbols, see page 120.
