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 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 that 
have 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 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.
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 or Home Address).
