for route guidance. (See the following
pages.) In one type of area, primarily
around metropolitan centers, detailed
route guidance is available for the en-
tire area. In the other type of area, all
roads are displayed
on the map but
route guidance is limited. The naviga-
tion route might lack precision be-
cause the data (no right turns, one
way traffic, etc.) is not complete. It is
still possible to reach the destination
by following the arrow direction and
distance as shown on the bottom left
of the screen. The arrow points in the
direction of the destination. The dis-
tance shown is as measured in a
straight line from the current vehicle
position to the destination area.

In order to provide you with accurate
map information as much as possible, we
are always gathering information such as
road repairs and doing site investigation.
However, the names of roads, streets,
facilities, and their locations are often
changed. In some places, construction on
roads may be in progress. For that rea-
son, information on some areas in this
system might be different from the actual
location.

(d) Radio Data System
Your audio system is equipped with Radio
Data Systems (RDS). RDS mode pro-
vides you to receive text messages from
radio stations that utilize RDS transmit-
ters.
When RDS is on, the radio can
—only select stations of a particular pro-
gram type,
—display messages from radio stations,
—search for a stronger signal station,
—search for local stations broadcasting
the same network as the vehicle travels,
—receive announcements concerning lo-
cal and national emergencies (even if
RDS function is turned off).
RDS features are available for the use
only on FM stations which broadcast RDS
information. “RDS SRCH” switch
This switch allows you to search all avail-
able RDS stations out of the entire FM
band and sort them by program type
(See following “TYPE” switch for details
on program types).
By touching this button at the FM mode,
RDS is turned on and the radio is
switched to FM type mode. During the
program type search, “RDS SEARCH” will
be shown on the screen. Also at this
time, “FM TYPE” will appear on the
screen to indicate that the station selec-
tor switches are for program type.
After searching for all the available RDS
stations, the radio will activate the pre-
viously used program type. If the pre-
viously used program type is not avail-
able, or if the radio has not yet
performed a program type search, the
radio will activate the first available pro-
gram type that has stations in memory.
The radio will preset the stations of the
current program type into the preset but-
tons.
These are accessible through the “TYPE”
switch. If more than 6 stations are found,
the radio will load the 6 strongest sta-
tions signal of the program type into the
presets.If no RDS stations are found, “No RDS
Stations Found” will be displayed and the
beep sounds. Then the radio will return
to the previous FM mode and frequency.
“Alert”
This type of announcement warns of na-
tional or local emergencies. You will not
be able to turn off alert announcements.
Alert announcements will come on even
if RDS mode is turned off. “Alert” ap-
pears on the screen when an alert an-
nouncement plays. The radio uses TA
volume during these announcements.
When an alert announcement comes on
the tuned radio station or a related net-
work station, you will hear it even if the
volume is muted or a cassette tape or
compact disc is playing. If the radio tunes
to a related network station for an alert
announcement, it will return to the origi-
nal station when the announcement is
finished. If the cassette tape or compact
disc player is playing, play will stop for
the announcement and resume when the
announcement is finished.

When an RDS radio station transmits a
text message, “MSG” will be displayed.
At this time, touch the “MSG” switch to

play will be canceled if any button that
affects the display is pushed. To view the
message again, touch the “MSG” switch
again. After the entire message has been
displayed, the message will disappear.
The RDS audio system has memory to
store three 64 character messages. To
store a message in memory, touch and
hold the “STORE” switch until you hear
a beep.
If 3 messages are already stored in
memory, the oldest message will be over-
written by the new message.To recall a radio text messages stored in
memory, touch the “RECALL” switch.
Touching the “LATEST MESSAGE” will
display the most recent message.
If no messages have been stored, or if
there are no more messages to be re-
called, “RECALL” switch is dimmed. The
message display will be canceled if you
activate any function that affects the dis-
play.
