SERVICE INFORMATION
If you're not seeing your dealership's location correctly on the navigation system display screen at PDI or after installing a new navigation unit, you need to reinitialize the system and then do map matching.
To do map matching, press the MAP/GUIDE button on the audio-HVAC display module to bring up the map on the display screen. Drive the vehicle on a mapped road shown on the screen. Don't enter a destination just yet. When you see the name of the current road you're driving on at the bottom of the screen, the map matching process is done. However, if your dealership is in a non-detailed area, you may need to drive over to a major highway to complete this process.
Once the map matching is done, pull over to the side of the road and enter your dealership's address. Now let the navigation system guide you back home to your dealership. Keep in mind, though, it may not pick the same route you'd normally take, but it will still get you there. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
