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 an efficient manner. The system uses the maps of DENSO based on
NAVTEQ maps, GDT maps and infoUSA POIs. The calculated routes are neither the shortest routes nor routes without traffic conges-
tion. 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 hotels. 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 49 through 51.
