Except for the ordinance-designated cities. (Malfunctioning areas may be changed in the updated map disc.)
EXAMPLES OF CURRENT-LOCATION MARK DISPLACEMENT
Symptom Cause Remedy
Voice guide will not operate. Note: Voice guide is only available at intersections
that satisfy certain conditions (indicated by l on the
map). Therefore, guidance may not be given even
when the route on the map changes direction.System is not malfunctioning.
The vehicle is not on the recommended route. Return to the recommended route or re-
search the route.
Voice guide is turned OFF. Turn voice guide ON.
Route guide is turned OFF. Turn route guide ON.
Voice guide does not match the ac-
tual road pattern.Voice guide may vary with the direction to which
the vehicle is turned and the connection of the road
to other roads.Drive in conformity to the actual traffic rules.
Symptom Cause Remedy
No route is shown. No road to be searched is found around the des-
tination.Find wider road (orange road or wider) near-
by and reset the destination and passing
points onto it. Take care of the traveling direc-
tion when there are separate up and down
roads.
Starting point and the destination are too close. Set the destination at more distant point.
Conditional traffic regulation (day of the week/
time of the day) is set at the area around the cur-
rent location or the destination.Turn the time-regulating search conditions
OFF. Turn “Avoid regulation time” in the
search conditions OFF.
Indicated route is intermittent. In some areas, highways (gray routes) are not
used for the search
(Note) Therefore, the route to
the current location or the passing points may be
intermittent.System is not malfunctioning.
When the vehicle has passed the
recommended route, it is deleted
from the screen.A recommended route is controlled by each sec-
tion. When the vehicle has passed the passing
point 1, then the map data from the starting point
up to the passing point 1 will be deleted. (The data
may remain undeleted in some areas.)System is not malfunctioning.
Detouring route is recommended. In some areas, highways (gray routes) are not
used for the search. (Note). Therefore, detour
route may be recommended.Set the route closer to the basic route (gray
route).
A detour route may be shown when some traffic
regulation (one-way traffic, etc.) is set at the area
around the starting point or the destination.Slightly move the starting point or the destina-
tion, or set the passing point on the route of
your choice.
In the area where highways (gray routes) are
used for the search, left turn has priority around
the current location and the destination (passing
points). For this reason, the recommended route
may be detouring.System is not malfunctioning.
Landmarks on the map do not
match the actual ones.This can be happen due to omission or error in
the map data.As a rule, an updated map DVD-ROM will be
released once a year. Wait until the latest
map has become available.
Recommended route is far from
the starting point, passing points,
and destination.Starting point, passing points, and destination of
the route guide were set far from the desired
points because route searching data around
these area were not stored.Reset the destination onto the road nearby. If
this road is one of the highways (gray routes),
an ordinary road nearby may be displayed as
the recommended route.
