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 

 on the 

Disclaimer

 screen to view these items. See 

System Function Diagram on page

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

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 

Setup

 screen (second) under “Personal Information”. 

See page

I cannot hear the navigation system voice.

1) Ensure that 

 in the

 Setup

 screen (first) is not

2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the

 Setup

 screen (second), and set

 to

The voice control system is having difficulty 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

). 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.
