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.

ROUTE CALCULATION
Symptom Possible cause Remedy
Although the system is set with the moving di-
rection as the preference, it does not find the
route by matching the preference.There is no route found in that direction. This is not abnormal.
Route is not indicated. There is no road that can be found by this sys-
tem close to the destination.Reset the destination close to the road dis-
played with orange, or wider ones. Especially
with roads which have separate lanes for op-
posite directions, be careful in setting the desti-
nation or waypoints on it, because results may
differ depending on the lane you choose.
The starting point to the destination is too
close.Set more distant destinations.
The route is not displayed continuously at
waypoints, for example, that are not calculated
route from the vehicle’s current position.Suggested routes may be displayed discontinu-
ously near waypoints as route calculation is
done at each waypoint.This is not abnormal.
The suggested route the vehicle has traveled
is erased.Suggested routes are stored in memory by the
blocks; ifthe vehicle travels past waypoint 1,
the former data will be erased.This is not abnormal.

ROUTE CALCULATION
Symptom Possible cause Remedy
A very detoured route is suggested. Ifthere are restrictions (such as one-way traf-
fic) on roads close to the starting point or desti-
nation, the system may suggest a detoured
route.Try slightly moving the starting point or desti-
nation.
The landmark description does not correspond
to the actual one.It may be caused by insufficient or incorrect
data on the CD-ROM.Exchange the Map CD-ROM. It will be up-
dated.
The suggested route does not exactly connect
to the starting point, waypoints, or destination.There is no data for route calculation closer to
these points.Set these points on the main road displayed in
thick orange. Please note that in some cases
even main roads lack the data for route calcu-
lation.
