13. The system then calculates a route and displays it
as a blue line. If you are in a rural area with
unverified roads, you may see a blue vector line or
a blue/pink dotted line pointing in the direction of
your destination.
14. Follow the voice guidance back to your dealership.
The voice guidance should work even with the
audio system turned off.
15. With the map screen displayed, check the system
interaction with the audio system and the
subdisplay. Press and release the NAVI TALK
button. After the beep, say "XM channel 125." The
upper display should change to XM channel 125
and show the Weather Channel.
16. With the map screen displayed, check the system
interaction with the climate control system. Turn on
the climate control system by selecting AUTO.
Then press and release the NAVI TALK button.
After the beep, say "temperature 68 degrees." The
climate control system display should change to 68
degrees.
17. The time shown by the system should be correct;
the system gets it from the GPS satellites.
Depending on the location of your dealership, you
may have to adjust the time settings.
• If you live in a state or the part of the state that
does not use Daylight Saving Time, press the
Setup button. Select More, then select Clock
Adjustment. Set Auto Daylight Saving Time to
OFF.
• If your dealership is located near a time zone
boundary, set Auto Time Zone by GPS to OFF.
The clock then keeps the "home" time if the
customer routinely drives across the time zone
boundary.
18. Press the DISPLAY MODE button to verify that the
display changes between Day, Night, and OFF
modes.
19. Press the Setup button, or use the voice control
system and say "Setup." Then verify these settings:
• Volume is set to the midrange.
• Brightness is set so the display can be seen in
bright sunlight.
20. In Setup mode, select More, then Personal
Information, then Previous Destinations. Follow
the screen prompts to delete all previous
destinations except your dealership.
21. Return to the Setup mode, select More, then
Vehicle, then Off-road Tracking. Verify that the
Off-road Tracking is set to off.

22. Return to the main menu; if needed, clean the
screen with a soft damp cloth. You may use a mild
cleaner intended for eyeglasses or computer
screens. Harsher chemicals may damage the
screen.
NOTE: Do not use shop towels, paper towels, or
tissues; they can scratch or damage the screen.
System Limitations or Database Limitations
If you think there are any problems with the navigation
system during the PDI, or after installing replacement
parts to repair the system, refer to System Limitations
and Database Limitations in the navigation system
manual. This will help you to avoid replacing
components when the issue may be a system
characteristic.
The navigation system has these limitations:
• The GPS (global positioning system) satellites used
by the navigation system are operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security reasons,
certain inaccuracies are built into the GPS. This can
cause occasional positioning errors of up to several
hundred feet. If the navigation system indicates your
position incorrectly, wait several seconds until it
corrects itself. The system may also correct itself
after you make a turn or cross a road.
• The GPS antenna receives location information from
orbiting satellites. Anything that blocks or interferes
with the signal affects accuracy. The GPS signal can
be blocked or interfered with (vehicle position shown
incorrectly on the map) by:
- Aftermarket metallic window tinting above or to the
sides of the GPS antenna.
- Aftermarket vehicle tracking systems mounted
near the navigation control unit or display.
- Radar detectors, cell phones, or other aftermarket
electronic accessories placed near the navigation
control unit or display.
- Outside electrical interference from overhead
power or trolley lines or broadcast sources.
- Tall trees or buildings near or over the vehicle.
They can cause the system to show the vehicle on
an adjacent street. This should automatically
correct itself when the obstruction is gone.
• If the DVD door in the control unit is opened or the
DVD is removed, the system will reboot. Scratches
or fingerprints on the surface of the DVD can cause
system errors. Always handle the DVD by its edges.
A DVD with a white label (Canadian vehicles may
have a gray label) is used for this system. It cannot
be interchanged with a DVD from a different vehicle
that has a different-colored label.
See the navigation system manual for more
information.
