Navigation System 123
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 5-digit anti-theft security
code to “unlock” the audio and
navigation system.
• GPS initialization (may not be
needed depending on the length of
time the system was without power).
(See GPS Initialization on page
123 . )
• Map matching to align the GPS
coordinates to a place on the map
(displays current street at the bottom
of the map). (See Map Matching on
page
124 . )
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 and navigation system before
you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle,
you should have received one card
containing the navigation 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 5-digit security code in
accordance with the owner’s manual
for your vehicle. If you do not enter the
security code, the navigation and audio
voice will not function.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is
unrelated to your optional navigation
system PIN (for Address Book or Home
Address).
GPS Initialization
Depending on the length of time the
battery was disconnected, your system
may require GPS initialization. If it
does, the following screen appears:
If this procedure is not necessary,
the system proceeds directly to the
Disclaimer screen (see page 18 ) .
During initialization, the system
searches for all available GPS satellites
and obtains their orbital information.
During this procedure, the vehicle
should be out in the open with a clear
view of the sky.
