NOTES ON ROUTE GUIDANCE

The route selected by the system may not
be the shortest, nor are other circumstances
such as traffic jams considered.

Because of the inevitable difference in road
conditions and circumstances between the
time you use this system and the time the
information was produced from the CD,
there may be discrepancies in roads and
regulations. In such cases, follow the actual
information available.

During route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move
with the actual vehicle’s movement.

During route calculation, buttons such as
MAP , DEST , ZM− and ZM+ and
the joystick will be disabled.

In some cases, after the calculation is com-
plete, it may take some time to get the cal-
culated route on the display .
Waypoints that have been passed will not
be covered by the re-routing calculation.

If you scroll the map while the suggested
route is being drawn, it may take more time
to finish drawing.

If waypoints are set, the system is calculat-
ing multiple routes between waypoints si-
multaneously , and the following may result.
— If one section (or more) of the routes be-
tween the waypoints is not found, none of
the route will be displayed.
— The route may not connect completely at
some waypoints.
— The route may require a U-turn close to
some waypoints.

Route calculation may not be completed in
the following cases.
— If there is no main road within 3.1 miles (5
km) from the vehicle, a message saying so
will appear on the screen. T ry requestingroute calculation when the vehicle is closer
to the main road.
— If there is no main road within 3.1 miles (5
km) from the destination or waypoint, a
message saying so will appear on the
screen. T ry setting the location closer to the
main road.
— If the vehicle is too close to the destination
or if there are no branches of the roads to
the destination. A message saying so will
appear on the screen.
— If it is deemed impossible to reach the des-
tination or waypoints because of traffic
regulations, etc.
— If there is only an extremely complicated
route to reach the destination or waypoints.
— If the destination, current vehicle position
or waypoint is within the
avoid area.
— If the setting of
avoid areascovers the
routes to the destination, route calculation

may not be possible.

The following may occur when the route is
being displayed.
— Even if you are requesting calculation from
the main road, the origin of the route may
not exactly match the current vehicle posi-
tion.
— Even if you are requesting calculation to the
destination on the main road, the end of the
route may not exactly match the destination.
— Even if you are requesting calculation from
the main road, the system may show a route
from another main road. This may be be-
cause the icon to show the current vehicle
position (vehicle icon) is not set accurately .
In that case, park the car in a safe place and
reset the vehicle icon, or continue driving
to see if the vehicle icon appears on the
main road before requesting route calcula-
tion again.
— There are cases in which the system showsa detoured route to reach the destination or
waypoints, if you set them from memory or
facility information. In order to correct this,
you will have to be careful about the traffic
direction, especially when the lanes with
different travel directions are shown sepa-
rately . Such places are interchanges and
service areas.
— This system makes no distinction between
limited traffic control and total control
(blockage). It may show a detoured route
even if the road is usable.
— Even if the freeway preference is set to OFF ,
the route may be set on them. T o avoid this,
set a waypoint on another road type and re-
quest calculation.
— Even if the preference is set as OFF for a
ferry line, the route may be set on it. T o
avoid this, set a waypoint on a road and re-
quest calculation.
— Ferry lines, except those which accept onlypedestrians, bicycles and motorcycles, are
stored in this system. When using them,
take into consideration the travel time re-
quired and operational condition to decide
whether to use them or not.
ABOUT THE DISPLAY ERROR
The following cases may affect the display ac-
curacy of the vehicle’s position or travel direc-
tion. The accuracy will return to normal if the
driving conditions return to normal.
— When there is a similar road nearby .
— When the vehicle is traveling on a long
stretch of straight road or series of curves
with a large radius.
— When the vehicle is traveling in an area with
a checkerboard road system.
— When the vehicle is making consecutive S
curves.
— When the vehicle is at a large Y -shaped
junction.
