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 forjunctions 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 and
the 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 “UNKNOWNSTREET NAME” may be displayed.
Please refer to “Automatic re-routing” on page
9-2.
When the green indicator on the
Guidance Volume key is not illuminated,
the voice guidance is not available.
The voice guidance will start when the ve-
hicle enters the suggested route. Before en-
tering the route, refer to the map display for
the direction.

the voice will say , “Y ou have arrived at
waypoint 1 (2, 3, 4,...).” The guidance will

nation icon displayed on the map screen.

the destination (waypoint) is located, the
voice guidance will say “on the right” after
announcing the arrival at the destination.

fied or may not operate at all due to the
angle of roads at intersection entrances and
exits.
