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:

The navigation system lost power and is acquiring its location from the GPS satellites. This usually takes less than 10 minutes. 

*Start the engine. 

*Park the vehicle in an open area away from trees, power lines, and tall buildings. 

*Remove loose articles, cell phones, or electrical accessories located near the GPS antenna. 

*If this screen is displayed repeatedly when starting the vehicle, see your dealer. 

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. During this procedure the vehicle should be out in the open with a clear view of the sky.

If the navigation system finds the satellites properly, this box clears, and changes to the Disclaimer screen. If within 10 minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your position, the following screen appears.

Something is interfering with the system's ability to acquire its location. Check the following: 

*The vehicle must be in an open area with a clear view of the sky. 

*Remove sources of GPS interference like metallic window tint above antenna, or electrical items near antenna (see owner's manual for details). 

*Check GPS antenna cable connection. 

*Restart the engine and repeat the GPS acquire procedure. If the problem persists, see your dealer. 

It 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.
