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.
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
fi rst. In rural “unverifi ed” 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 46 .
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 Addresses, Previous
Destinations, or the Home Address?
This is done in the
SET UP
screen (
Main Set up
), under “Personal
Information.” See page 97 .
I cannot hear the navigation system voice.
1) Ensure that
Volume
in the
SET UP
screen (
Main Set up
) is not
OFF
.
See page 97 .
2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the
SET UP
screen (
Main Set up
), and set
Voice Recognition Tutor
to
ON
. See page 107 .
The voice control system is having diffi culty recognizing
my voice commands.
Ensure that the vents are not blowing on the microphone on the ceiling, the
vehicle is as quiet as possible, and 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.
When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not
switch to the night display mode. Why?
Verify the following: The nighttime dash brightness control is not set to
maximum, and
Map Color
in SET UP is set to
Black
for Night. See
Switching Display Mode Manually on page 120 .
