This system may not be available or interferences
may 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 of the vehicle.
•
Satellites are being repaired or improved.
•
After-market glass tinting has been applied to the
vehicle’s rear windshield.
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.
For more information if the GPS is not functioning
properly, see
