You can change the orientation of the map
from
north up to heading up by touching
the orientation symbol at the top left of the
screen.
North up symbol
Regardless of the direction of vehicle travel,
North is always up.
Heading up symbol
The direction of vehicle travel is always up.
A red arrow indicates North.
Limitations of the navigation
system
This navigation system calculates the cur-
rent vehicle position using satellite sig-
nals, various vehicle signals, map data,
etc. However, the accurate position may
not be shown depending on the satellite
condition, road configuration, vehicle
condition or other circumstances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) devel-
oped and operated by the U.S. Department of
Defense provides an accurate current vehicle
position using 3 to 4 satellites. The GPS sys-
tem has a certain level of inaccuracy. While
the navigation system will compensate for
this most of the time, occasional positioning
errors of up to 300 feet (100 m) can and
should be expected. Generally, position er-
rors will be corrected within a few seconds.
When your vehicle is receiving signals from
the satellites, the “GPS” mark appears at the
top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically ob-
structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle posi-
tion on the map display. Tunnels, tall build-
ings, trucks, or even the placement of objects
on the instrument panel may obstruct the
GPS signals.
The installation of window tinting may also ob-
struct the GPS signals. Most window tinting
contains some metallic content that will inter-
fere with GPS signal reception. We advice
against the use of window tinting on vehicles
equipped with navigation systems.
The GPS satellites may not send signals due
to repairs or improvements being made to
them.

(d) Detour setting
While the route guidance is operating, you
can change the route to detour around a
section of the route where a delay is
caused by road repairs, an accident, etc.
1. Touch the
“Route” switch.
2. Touch the “Detour” switch.
3. Select the switch below to select the
desired detour distance.
“1 mile (km)”, “3 miles (km)” or “5 miles
(km)”: Touch one of these switches to start
the detour process. After detouring, the sys-
tem returns to the original guidance route.
“Whole Route”: If you touch this switch, the
system will calculate an entire new route to
the destination.
This picture shows an example of how the
system would guide you around a delay
caused by a traffic jam.
1This position indicates the location of a
traffic jam caused by road repairs or an
accident.
2This route indicates the detour sug-
gested by the system.
INFORMATION
When your v ehicle is on a freeway, the
detour distance selections are 5, 15,
and 25 miles (km).
The system may not be able to calcu-
late a detour route depending on the
selected distance and surrounding
road conditions.

Station swapping — If the FM signal you are
listening to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another strong station nearby on the
FM band, your radio may tune in the second
station until the original signal can be picked
up again.
AM
Fading — AM broadcasts are reflected by the
upper atmosphere — especially at night.
These reflected signals can interfere with
those received directly from the radio station,
causing
the radio station to sound alternately
strong and weak.
Station interference — When a reflected sig-
nal and a signal received directly from a radio
station are very nearly the same frequency,
they can interfere with each other, making it
difficult to hear the broadcast.
Static — AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high ten-
sion power lines, lightening, or electrical mo-
tors. This results in static. CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC
PLAYER AND DISCS
Your compact disc player is intended for
use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Extremely high temperatures can keep
your compact disc player from working.
On hot days, use the air conditioning to
cool the vehicle interior before you listen
to a disc.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your compact disc player skip.
If moisture gets into your compact disc
player,
you may not hear any sound even
though your compact disc player appears
to be working. Remove the disc from the
player and wait until it dries.
CAUTION
Compact disc players use an invisible
laser beam which could cause hazard-
ous radiation exposure if directed out-
side the unit. Be sure to operate the
player correctly.
Use only compact discs marked as shown
above. The following products may not be
playable on your compact disc player.
Copy− protected CD
CD− R (CD− Recordable)
CD−RW (CD− Re−writable)
