WARNING
To operate the navigation system or to
use the screen functions, first park the
vehicle in a safe place and set the park-
ing brake. Using the system while driv-
ing can distract the driver and may re-
sult in a serious accident.BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCEThe 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 your destination.

There may be some cases in which the
voice guidance and the actual road con-
ditions do not correspond. This may
occur because of discrepancies be-
tween the actual road and the informa-
tion on the DVD 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 ob-
tained from traffic signs or notices on
the road.

panel.

announce: “Please make a legal U-turn if
possible.”
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 for
junctions 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 “UNKNOWN
STREET NAME” may be displayed.Please refer to “Automatic rerouting” 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 vehicle
enters the suggested route. Before entering
the route, refer to the map display for the
direction.

When the vehicle approaches a waypoint, the
voice will say, “You have arrived at waypoint 1
(2, 3, 4,...).” The guidance will switch to the
next route section. While the voice guidance
is not available, please refer to the map
display for the direction.

In some cases, the voice guidance ends
before arrival at the destination. In such
cases, drive the vehicle by referring to the
destination icon displayed on the map
screen.

When the system can judge on which side
the destination (waypoint) is located, the
voice guidance will say “on the right” after
announcing the arrival at the destination.

Voice guidance may not operate as specified
or may not operate at all due to the angle of
roads at intersection entrances and exits.
