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 navigation 
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 
(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 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 your 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).
