System Initialization

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.

Enter the four-digit security code. 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
your 4-digit security code. 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.

Follow the instructions in the vehicle
Owner’s manual to enter the 5-digit
audio code. The navigation voice will
not operate if the audio code is not
entered.

NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated
to your optional navigation system PIN
(for Personal Address Book or Home
Address).
