System Initialization
If the navigation system loses power (like the 12 volt battery terminal was disconnected), the navigation system requires initialization. Once completed, your system is ready to use.
This initialization requires the following:
- With audio system theft protection: Press and hold the AUDIO POWER (
) button for at least 2 seconds. The audio-navigation unit exits the anti-theft mode. Or you can enter the 5-digit anti-theft code.
- GPS initialization (may not be needed depending of the length of time the system was without power).
- Map matching aligns the GPS to a location on the map.
GPS Initialization
NOTE: You must park the vehicle outside with a clear view of the sky.
Depending on the length of time the battery was disconnected, your system may require GPS initialization. If it does, the CSF screen appears:
If this procedure is not necessary, the system proceeds directly to the Disclaimer screen. During initialization, the system searches for all available GPS satellites, and obtains their orbital information. Park the vehicle out in the open with a clear view of the sky for this procedure.
If the navigation system finds the satellites properly, the CSF screen changes to the Disclaimer screen. If within 10 minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your position, the confirmation screen appears.
If this screen appears, turn off the engine, then restart the vehicle and move it to a different location. If the Disclaimer screen appears, the GPS initialization is complete.
NOTE:
- The average acquiring time is less than 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
- If the system is still unable to acquire a signal, follow the instructions on the screen. If this screen appears again, check for hard error codes.
- Skip a CSF screen by pressing the DISPLAY MODE (
) button and the HOME button at the same time for 5 seconds and you can move to the Disclaimer screen.
Map Matching
This part of the initialization matches the GPS coordinates with a road on the map screen. To do this part of the procedure, make sure that the navigation system displays a map, and drive the vehicle on a mapped road shown on the map screen. Do not enter a destination at this time. When the name of the current road you are driving on appears at the bottom of the screen, the entire procedure is complete. Your system is now ready to use.
