Problem Solution
Why does the Disclaimer screen need to be displayed every
time I start the car? I am the only driver. The Disclaimer screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always
operate the navigation system in a safe manner.
The Setup or Information screen has “grayed out” items that
I cannot select. Why? You need to select OK on the Disclaimer screen to view these items. See
System Function Diagram on page
26 .
I tried entering an address, but the city or street could not be
found. Is there any other way to route to the location? Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area Try entering the street
first. In rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be
missing, or only partially numbered. Try selecting the destination directly
from the map. See By Map Input on page
45 .
When I enter an address, some letters become grayed out. Is
this normal? Yes, as you enter each letter in an address or a point of interest (POI), the
system looks in the database to see what letters are possible and “grays out”
letters that do not apply.
How do I delete Personal Address, Previous Destinations, or
the Home Address? This is done in Setup, under “Personal Information.” See page 84 .
I cannot hear the navigation system voice. 1) Ensure that Volume in the Setup screen (first) is not OFF. See page 83 .
2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the Setup screen (second), and set Voice
Recognition Feedback to ON. See page
90 .
The voice control system is having difficulty recognizing my
Voice commands. Ensure that the vents are not blowing on the microphone on the ceiling,
place your hand over the microphone; if you feel any airflow, adjust the
vents. Ensure the vehicle is as quiet as possible, and that you are using the
correct command when speaking (See Improving Voice Recognition on
page
14 ). Say “Help” at any screen to see a list of the applicable voice
commands. If the system cannot recognize your command because of
background noise, speak louder.
When the system pronounces the street name in the guidance
command, or reads the destination address it sounds strange.
What causes this? The basic guidance phrase uses a studio-recorded voice, but the street name
is pronounced by the system using a machine-generated voice.
Consequently, the name may be mispronounced or sound strange at times.
