WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. PRECAUTION FOR DISCONNECTING CABLE FROM NEGATIVE AUXILIARY BATTERY TERMINAL 
    NOTE:
    • After the power switch is turned off, the navigation receiver assembly records various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the power switch off, be sure to wait for the time specified in the following table before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
      WAITING TIME BEFORE DISCONNECTING CABLE FROM NEGATIVE (-) AUXILIARY BATTERY TERMINAL

      Condition Waiting Time
      Vehicle enrolled in safety connected system 6 minutes
      Vehicle not enrolled in safety connected system 1 minute
    • If the auxiliary battery has been disconnected, it is necessary to re-initialize XM Sports and XM Stocks services. Move the vehicle to an area with good GPS reception (open view of the sky, GPS icon shown on map screen), turn the power switch on (ACC) to initialize XM Sports and XM Stocks services (only available if XM Radio is active). Additionally, XM Sports and XM Stocks data services can take several minutes to update after each time the power switch is turned to ACC.
  2. PRECAUTIONS FOR NAVIGATION RECEIVER ASSEMBLY 
    1. A Hard Disc is built into the navigation receiver assembly to store map and other data, and is used for the navigation system. Therefore, care must be taken for the following points when handling:
      1. When it is necessary to replace the navigation receiver assembly, be sure to replace it with a new one.
      2. Do not apply any vibration or shock to the navigation receiver assembly.
        NOTE:
        • Do not drop or subject the navigation receiver assembly to severe impacts.
        • Do not use the navigation receiver assembly if it has been dropped or subjected to a severe impact.
      3. Do not remove the navigation receiver assembly if there is a risk that condensation may occur.
        NOTE:

        If the temperature of the navigation receiver assembly changes rapidly, condensation may occur inside the unit. This may cause a malfunction of the navigation receiver assembly. Therefore, when the navigation receiver assembly is removed from the instrument panel, it needs to be kept inside the vehicle or in an environment with an equivalent temperature and humidity.

      4. Take measures to prevent static electricity.
        NOTE:

        Touching the terminals of a connector can cause static electricity to be transmitted to the internal circuits. This may cause a malfunction of the navigation receiver assembly.

      5. Keep the navigation receiver assembly away from magnets or magnetized items.
        NOTE:

        Keep the navigation receiver assembly away from speakers, motors, magnetized tools and other magnetic items.
