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 44 through 46.

Safety Instruction
To use your system as safely as possible,
follow all the safety tips shown below.
This system is intended to assist you in
reaching your destination and, if used
properly, can do so. You, as the driver,
are solely responsible for the safe opera-
tion of your vehicle and the safety of your
passengers.
Do not use any feature of this system to
the extent it distracts you from safe driv-
ing. Your first priority while you are driving
should always be the safe operation of
your vehicle. While you are driving, be
sure to observe all traffic regulations.Before attempting to use this system while
you are driving, learn how to use it and
become thoroughly familiar with it. Read
the entire “Navigation System Owner ’s
Manual” to make sure you understand the
system. Do not allow others to use this
system until they have read and under-
stood these and other instructions in this
manual.
For your safety, some functions may be-
come inoperable when you start driving.
Unavailable switches are dimmed. You can
input your destination and select your
route only when the vehicle is not moving.
CAUTION
For safety, the driver should not
operate the navigation system while
he/she is driving. Inattention to the
road and traffic may cause an acci-
dent.
While you are driving, be sure to
follow the traffic regulations and
keep the road condition in mind. If
a traffic sign on the road has been
changed, route guidance may pro-
vide wrong information such as the
direction of a one way street.
While you are driving, listen to the voice
instructions as much as possible and
glance at the screen briefly and only when
it is safe. However, do not totally rely on
voice guidance. Use it just for your infor-
mation. If the system cannot determine
your current position correctly, there is a
possibility of incorrect, late or non−voice
guidance.

The data in the system may occasionally
be incomplete. Road conditions, including
driving restrictions (no left turns, street
closures, etc.) frequently change. There-
fore, before you follow any instruction
from the system, look to see whether you
can comply with the instruction safely and
legally.
This system cannot warn you about such
things as the safety of an area, condition
of streets, and availability of emergency
services. If you are unsure about the
safety of an area, do not drive into it.
Under no circumstances is this system
a substitute for the driver’s personal
judgement.
Use this system only in locations where
it is legal to do so. Some countries/prov-
inces may have laws prohibiting video
screens within sight of the driver.
