LCD Display Unit Limitations
• In cold temperatures, the display may stay dark for
the first 2 or 3 minutes until it warms up.
• When the display is too hot because of direct summer
sunlight, it will remain dark until the temperature
drops.
• When the humidity is high and the interior
temperature is low, the display may appear cloudy.
The display will clear up after some use.
• Fingerprints on the touch panel may sometimes be
noticeable because of the panel's low-reflection
coating. When cleaning the panel, wipe it gently with
a soft cloth. To avoid scratching the panel, do not rub
too hard.
• The touch panel is an infrared system, so there is no
need to press hard. If a touch switch does not
function immediately, shift your finger slightly on the
switch, and touch it again.
Symptom Duplication
• When the symptom can be duplicated, follow the self-
diagnostic procedures (picture diagnosis mode) and
the appropriate troubleshooting procedures.
• When the symptom does not reappear or only
reappears intermittently, ask the customer about the
conditions when the symptom occured.
– Try to establish if outside interference may have
been the cause.
– Try to duplicate the symptom under the same
conditions the customer was experiencing.
– Vibration, temperature extremes, and moisture
(dew, humidity) are factors that are difficult to
duplicate.
– Inspect the vehicle for after-market electronic
devices (vehicle locators, amp, radar detectors, etc)
that may be hidden.
Service Precautions
• Before disconnecting the battery, make sure you
have the anti-theft codes for the radio and the
navigation system, and write down the frequencies
for the radio's preset buttons.
• When the battery is disconnected, the clock is reset to
''0:00''. The clock will reset to the correct time after
the system receives the GPS satellite signals.
• After reconnecting the battery, you have to wait to get
the initial signal from the satellite. It will take about 10
minutes.
• Before returning the vehicle to the customer, enter
the radio anti-theft code, then enter the customer's
radio station presents.
NOTE: If the anti-theft code is incorrectly entered three
times, the vehicle will need to be left outside away from
tall buildings, trees, etc, with the engine running for one
hour before the correct code can be entered again.
After Servicing Procedures-Map Matching
• Park the vehicle in an area where the GPS satellite
signals will be unobstructed, and check the satellite
mark on the display.
• Drive the vehicle 1 mile before entering a destination
and confirm the road being used is displayed at the
bottom of the screen (map matched).
• Enter the dealer address and confirm the system
routes and performs normally.
• Clear any previous destinations that may have been
entered for testing purposes.
