Title:
BLANK MAP SCREEN IN NAVIGATION SYSTEM

Models:
All '03 Models With Navigation System

Introduction

In some cases, when a vehicle arrives at a U.S. or Canadian port, and/or is in new inventory at the dealer, a blank map screen may occur, as shown below, just after turning the ignition switch ON and then touching the "I agree" switch. The only items that can be seen are the touch switches, compass, and the vehicle icon.





This condition is not a system failure. This is due to the system position memory originally identifying a set location near the manufacturing plant in Japan when the vehicle is brand-new. To re-initialize the navigation system memory location, follow the instructions shown.

Applicable Vehicles
