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:
***Wait***
The system is acquiring its GPS signal.
This could take up to 10 minutes.
- Engine must be running
- Vehicle must be parked outside, away from buildings
- Do not move the vehicle at this time
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.
When inside the shop bypass the GPS acquire screens by pressing and holding the "Menu", and "Zoom out" keys at the same time. Touch the "Return" button on the screen to exit the diagnostic mode. This allows you to continue troubleshooting while in the shop.
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.
Navigation system is unable acquire a proper GPS signal.
- Move vehicle to another location
- Turn the ignition switch off
- Disconnect the battery for 30 minutes to clear the GPS receiver's memory
- Reconnect the battery and follow the screen prompts
After 30 minutes with this screen displayed, turn off the engine, then restart the vehicle. If you now see the Disclaimer screen, the GPS initialization is complete.
- 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 (see GPS ICON IS WHITE OR NOT SHOWN ).
