Rear Vision Camera Error Messages

Rear Vision Camera System Unavailable: Thismessage may display when the system is notreceiving information it requires from other vehiclesystems.

Service Rear Vision Camera System: Thismessage may display when the system isnot receiving video from the camera.

If any other problem occurs or if a problempersists, see your dealer/retailer.

Global Positioning System (GPS)The navigation system determines the position ofyour vehicle by using satellite signals, variousvehicle signals, and map data.

At times, other interferences such as the satellitecondition, road configuration, the condition ofthe vehicle and/or other circumstances caninterfere with the navigation system’s ability todetermine the accurate position of the vehicle.

The GPS shows the current position of yourvehicle using signals sent by the GPS Satellites ofthe United States Department of Defense.

56

When your vehicle is not receiving signals fromthe satellites, a symbol will appear on themap screen. Refer to Symbols on page 21.

This system may not be available or interferencesmay occur if any of the following are true:

• Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees,large trucks, or a tunnel.

• Objects are located on the rear shelf.

• Satellites are being repaired or improved.

• After-market glass tinting has been applied tothe vehicle’s rear windshield.

Notice: Do not apply after-market glass tintingto the vehicle’s windows. Glass tinting willinterfere with the system’s ability to receiveGPS signals and cause the system tomalfunction. You might have to replace thewindow to correct the problem. This would notbe covered by your warranty.

For more information if you are experiencing aproblem, see If the System Needs Serviceon page 59 and Problems with Route Guidance onpage 58.

• The vehicle is being driven with tire chains.

• The tires are replaced.

• The tire pressure for your tires is incorrect.

• The tires are worn.

• The first time the map DVD is inserted.

• The battery is disconnected for several days.

• The vehicle is driving in heavy traffic wheredriving is at low speeds, and the vehicle isstopped and started repeatedly.

If you experience problems with your system,see your dealer/retailer.
