Touch the of the desired entrance
or exit name. The screen changes and
displays the map location of the selected
destination and the route preference.
(See “(a) Entering Destination” on page
22.) There are 2 ways to list the freeway en-
trance or exit.
Dist. sort: Touch this switch to list the en-
trances or exits in order of distance from your
current location.1UE034
Name sort: Touch this switch to list the en-
trances or exits in alphabetical order. Touch
the
“Previous starting point”
switch on the Destination screen.
The screen changes and displays the
map location of the previous starting
point and the route preference. (See “En-
tering Destination” on page 22.)
If you have not used the navigation yet, the

You can change the orientation of the
map from Northup to Headingup by
touching the direction symbol at the top
left of the screen.Northup symbol
Regardless of the direction of vehicle travel,
North is always up.
Headingup symbol
The direction of the vehicle travel is always
up. A red arrow indicates North. This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However,
the accurate position
may not be shown depending on the sat-
ellite condition, road configuration, ve-
hicle condition or other circumstances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) devel-
oped and operated by the U.S. Department
of Defense provides an accurate current ve-
hicle position using 3 to 4 satellites. The GPS
system has a certain level of inaccuracy built
in for security reasons. While the navigation
system will compensate for this most of the
time, occasional positioning errors up to 300
feet can and should be expected. Generally,
position errors will be corrected within a few
seconds.

When your vehicle is receiving signals from
the satellites, the “GPS” mark appears at the
top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically ob-
structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle posi-
tion on the map display. Tunnels, tall build-
ings, trucks, or even the placement of
objects on the instrument panel may obstruct
the GPS signals.
The installation of window tinting may also
obstruct the GPS signals. Most window tint-
ing contains some metallic content that will
interfere with the GPS signal reception. We
recommend not to use the window tinting on
vehicles equipped with navigation systems. The GPS satellites may not send signals due
to repairs or improvements being made to
them.
Even when the navigation system is receiv-
ing good GPS signals, the vehicle position
may not be shown accurately or inappropri-
ate route guidance may occur in some
cases.

When driving on a small angled Y −
shaped road.
 When driving on a spiral road.
 When driving on a slippery road such as
in sand, gravel, snow, etc.
 When driving on a long straight road.
 When freeway and surface streets run in
parallel.
 After moving by ferry or vehicle carrier.
 When a long route is searched during high
speed driving.
 When driving without setting the current
position calibration correctly.
 After repeating a change of directions by
going forward and backward, or turning
on a turntable in the parking lot.
 When leaving a covered parking lot or
parking garage.
 When a roof carrier is installed.
 When driving with the tire chains installed.
 When the tires are worn.
 After replacing a tire or tires.
(a) Accurate current vehicle
p
osition may not be shown in
the following cases:

When using tires that are smaller or larger
than the factory specifications.
 When the tire pressure in any of the four
tires is not correct.
INFORMATION
If your vehicle cannot receive GPS sig-
nals, you can correct the current posi-
tion manually. For the information on
setting the current position calibration,
see page 77.
When turning at a wrong intersection off
the designated route guidance
 If you set more than one destinations,
auto reroute will display a route returning
to the destination on the previous route
when you try to skip any of the destina-
tions.
 When turning at an intersection, there is
no route guidance.
 When passing through the intersection,
there is no route guidance.
 During automatic rerouting, the route
guidance may not be available for the next
turn to the right or left.
 It may take a long time to operate auto re-
route during high speed driving. In auto
reroute, a detour route may be shown.
 After auto reroute, the route may not be
changed.
 An unnecessary U −turn may be shown or
announced.
 A location may have multiple names and
the system will announce one or more. 
Some routes may not be searched.
 If the route to your destination includes
gravel, unpaved roads or alleys, the route
guidance may not be shown.
 Your destination point might be shown on
the opposite side of the street.
 When a portion of the route has regula-
tions prohibiting the entry of the vehicle
that vary by time or season or other rea-
son.
 The road and map data stored in your
navigation system may not be complete
or may not be the latest release.
When replacing the tire(s), do the calibra-
tion. See page 77 for detailed information.
(b) Inappropriate route guid-
a
nce may occur in the follow-
i
ng cases:

are two types of areas available for
route guidance. (See the following
pages.) In one type of area, primarily
around metropolitan centers, detailed
route guidance is available for the entire
area. In the other type of area, all roads
are displayed on the map but route guid-
ance is limited. The navigation route
might lack precision because the data (no
right turns, oneway traffic, etc.) is not
complete. It is still possible to reach the
destination by following the arrow direc-
tion and distance as shown on the bottom
left of the screen. The arrow points in the
direction of the destination. The distance
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 in-
formation as much as possible, we are al-
ways gathering information such as road re-
pairs 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 pro-
gress. For that reason, information on some
areas in this system might be different from
the actual location.

The current vehicle position mark will be
automatically corrected during driving
on reception of GPS signals. If your ve-
hicle cannot receive GPS signals, you
can correct the current position mark
manually.
