Most Frequently Asked
Questions
My home address is not on the map,
is my navigation system broken?
There are several possible reasons
why you may not be able to find your
home address:
1) The map that is included with
your system contains the most
recent data available at the time
of yearly production. However,
there are situations when some
home addresses may not be in the
database yet (i.e. newly developed
neighborhoods, homes located off
dirt or country roads, etc.).
2) The road has not been physically
verified yet.
3) You are not entering the street
name correctly. It is not necessary
to enter the prefix or suffix to any
street name. For example, “East
Main Street” can simply be entered
as “Main”.

errors and click on Map Reporter
When the car is moving, I can’t
enter information into the system.
Why not?
A safety feature makes certain tasks
unavailable while the car is in motion.
Refer to the Navigation Supplement
for a list of specific tasks that are
unavailable when driving.
How accurate is my SIRIUS®
real-time traffic (if subscribed)?
SIRIUS® Traffic service (if subscribed)
primarily covers the freeways and
interstates in the most populated
metropolitan areas in the continental
United States. Traffic service delivers
the best information available from
departments of transportation, police
and emergency services, traffic
sensors, cameras and airborne
reports to your navigation system.
This includes:
• Traffic flow or the actual speed
traffic is moving along a road
segment (where available).
• Locations of unscheduled traffic
disruptions caused by such things
as accidents, disabled vehicles and
bad weather.
• Locations of scheduled traffic
disruptions such as construction
and road closures.

What is the warranty on
my navigation system?
The navigation system warranty is
covered by the same warranty as the
rest of your vehicle.

Navigate by using Voice Recognition
Your system has an advanced interactive
voice recognition (VR) system which
allows you to perform certain tasks by
speaking commands. There is no need
to memorize system voice commands as
the system can display “read” available
commands. Voice commands are listed
in the system’s Help Menu, throughout
the Navigation Supplement and can
be heard by saying “Help” during an
active voice session. The “Voice Control”
tab at the bottom of the menu screen
allows you to enter voice enhancement
mode. This mode eliminates the need to
say “USB” or “User Device” before any
SYNC® media commands.
