Global Positioning System (GPS)
The Navigation System determines the position of your
vehicle by using satellite signals, various vehicle
signals, and map data.
At times, other interferences such as the satellite
condition, road configuration, the condition of the vehicle
and/or other circumstances can interfere with the
Navigation’s ability to determine the accurate position of
the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position of your vehicle
using signals sent by the GPS Satellites of the United
States Department of Defense. When your vehicle is not
receiving signals from the satellites, a symbol will
appear on the map screen. Refer to
Symbols on
page 4-42 .
This system may not be available or interference may
occur if the following happens:
•
Signal obstructions caused by tall buildings, large
trucks, tunnels,
•
objects located on top of the instrument panel,
•
satellites will not send signals if they are being
repaired or improved,
•
after-market glass tinting has been applied to the
vehicle’s windows.
Notice: Do not apply after-market glass tinting to
the vehicle’s windows. Glass tinting will interfere
with the system’s ability to receive GPS signals and
cause the system to malfunction. You might have
to replace the window to correct the problem.
This would not be covered by your warranty.
