ABOUT VOICE GUIDANCE
WARNING
T o operate the navigation system or
to use the screen functions, first park
the vehicle in a safe place and set the
parking brake. Using the system
while driving can distract the driver
and may result in a serious accident.
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
The Voice Guidance will verbally tell you which
direction to turn when the vehicle approaches
the intersection in which you have to make a
turn to reach the destination.
NOTE:
The navigation system does not take
driving on “CAR POOL LANES” into con-
sideration for the guidance.
There may be some cases in which
the voice guidance and the actual
road conditions do not correspond.
This may occur because of discrep-
ancies between the actual road and
the information on the CD or due to
the vehicle’s speed.

In case the content of the voice guid-
ance does not match the actual road
conditions, follow the information
obtained from traffic signs or notices
on the road.

UME

screen.
