Foreword
Thank you for your purchase of the Navigation System. Please read this manual carefully to ensure proper use. Keep this
manual stored in your vehicle at all times.
The Toyota Navigation System is one of the most technologically advanced vehicle accessories ever developed. The system
receives satellite signals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. Using these
signals and other vehicle sensors, the system can show you where you are and assist you in locating a desired destination.
The navigation system is designed to select efficient routes from your present starting location to your destination. The system is
designed to direct you to a destination that is unfamiliar to you in efficient manners. The system uses the maps of DENSO based
on NAVTECH maps, GDT maps and infoUSA POIs. The calculated routes are neither the shortest routes nor routes without traffic
congestion. Your own personal local knowledge or “short cut” may at times be faster than the calculated routes.
The navigation system’s database includes about 50 point of interest categories to allow you to easily select destinations such as
restaurants and banks. If a destination is not in the database, you can enter the street address or a major intersection close to it
and the system will route you there. The system will provide both a visual map and audio instructions. The audio instructions will
announce the distance and direction to go when you are approaching a fork or intersection. These voice instructions will help you
keep your eyes on the road and are timed to provide enough time to allow you to maneuver, change lanes or slow down.
Please be aware that all current vehicle navigation systems have certain limitations that may affect their ability to
perform properly. The accuracy of the vehicle’s position depends on the satellite condition, road configuration, vehicle
condition or other circumstances. For more information on the limitations of the system, refer to pages 59 through 61.

off. If you turn the

INFORMATION
During route guidance, the voice
guidance continues even if the navi-
gation screen is changed to the oth-
er screens, such as the audio
screen.
UN301
The voice guidance provides various
messages as you approach an intersec-
tion, or other point where you need to
maneuver the vehicle.
1“Proceed about 5 miles.”
2“In a quarter of a mile, right
turn.”
3“Right turn.”
4(Beep sound only)
INFORMATION
On freeways, interstates of other
highways with higher speed limits,
the voice guidance will be made at
earlier points than on city streets in
order to allow time to maneuver.
