NOTES ON THE VOICE
GUIDANCE

The voice guidance in this system should
be regarded as a supplementary function.
When driving your vehicle, check the route
on the map display and follow the actual
road and all traffic regulations.

The voice guidance is activated only for
junctions with certain conditions. In some
cases you may need to turn, even if there
is no voice guidance

The content of the voice guidance may vary ,
depending on the direction of the turn andthe type of junction with other roads.

The route guidance will be activated at vari-
ous times depending on the situation.

When the vehicle is off the suggested route,
route guidance is not available. The system
will not inform you of this; please refer to
the map display and request rerouting.

At freeway junctions, the road numbers and
directions may not accurately correspond
with the voice guidance.

At freeway exits, the street names may not
accurately correspond with the voice guid-
ance.

The displayed street names may sometimes
differ from the actual names or “UNKNOWN
STREET NAME” may be displayed.

nation icon displayed on the map screen.
