GPS Initialization

NOTE: You must park the vheicle outside with a clear view of the southern sky

Depending on the length of time tine 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. 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.

It this screen appears, turn off the engine, then restart the vehicle. If you now see the Disclaimer screen, 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, go to troubleshooting for the GPS ICON IS WHITE OR NOT SHOWN  .
  • Skip to a CSF screen by pushing the MENU + INFO buttons at the same time and can move to a System Links screen.
