Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Navigation System. Please read this manual carefully to ensure proper use. Keep this manual
in your vehicle at all times.
The 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 indicates your present position and assists 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. The calculated routes
may not be the shortest nor the least traffic congested. Your own personal local knowledge or “short cut” may at times be faster than the calcu-
lated routes.
The navigation system’s database includes about 75 Point of Interest categories to allow you to easily select destinations such as restaurants
and banks. 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 guide
you there. The system will provide both a visual map and audio instructions. The audio instructions will announce the distance remaining
and the direction to turn in 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 circumstan-
ces. For more information on the limitations of the system, refer to pages x through xii.

Safety Instruction
To use your system in the safest possible
manner, follow all the safety tips shown be-
low.
This system is intended to assist you in
reaching your destination and, if used prop-
erly, can do so. You, as the driver, are solely
responsible for the safe operation of your ve-
hicle and the safety of your passengers.
Do not use any feature of this system to the
extent it distracts you from safe driving. Your
first priority while driving should always be
the safe operation of your vehicle. While you
are driving, be sure to observe all traffic regu-
lations.Prior to the actual use of this system, learn
how to use it and become thoroughly familiar
with it. Read the entire Navigation System
Owner’s Manual to make sure you under-
stand the system. Do not allow others to use
this system until they have read and under-
stood the instructions in this manual.
For your safety, some functions may become
inoperable when you start driving. Unavail-
able 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
accident.
While you are driving, be sure to
obey the traffic regulations and
maintain awareness of the road
conditions. If a traffic sign on the
road has been changed, route
guidance may provide wrong
information such as the direction of
a one way street.

List screen operation
When a list is displayed, you can scroll or
page through the list by using the appropri-
ate switch.
To shift to the next or previous
page.
To scroll up or down one item at a
time.
This expresses a displayed
screen position.
If appears to the right of the
item name, the complete name is
too long for the display. Touch
to scroll to the end of the name.
Touch to scroll to the
beginning of the name.Current position display
When starting the navigation system, the
current position is displayed first.
This screen displays the current vehicle
position and a map of the surrounding local
area.
The current vehicle position mark appears in
the center or bottom center of the map
screen. You can return to this map screen
showing your current position at any time
from any screen by touching the
“MAP/
VOICE”
button.
During driving, the current vehicle position
mark is fixed in the screen and the map
moves.

Limitations of the navigation
system
This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However, the accurate position
may not be shown depending on the sat-
ellite condition, road configuration, ve-
hicle condition or other circumstances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense provides an accurate cur-
rent vehicle position using 3 to 4 satellites.
The GPS system has a certain level of inac-
curacy. While the navigation system will
compensate for this most of the time, occa-
sional positioning errors of up to 300 feet
(100 m) can and should be expected. Gen-
erally, position errors 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 ob-
struct the GPS signals.
The installation of window tinting may also
obstruct the GPS signals. Most window tint-
ing contains some metallic content that will
interfere with the 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.Even when the navigation system is receiv-
ing clear GPS signals, the vehicle position
may not be shown accurately or inappropri-
ate route guidance may occur in some
cases.
xii
(b) Inappropriate route guidance
may occur in the following cases:
When turning at an intersection off the
designated route guidance.
If you set more than one destination but
skip any of them, auto reroute will display a
route returning to the destination on the pre-
vious route.
When turning at an intersection for which
there is no route guidance.
When passing through an intersection
for which there is no route guidance.
During auto reroute, the route guidance
may not be available for the next turn to the
right or left.
It may take a long time to operate auto re-
route during high speed driving. In auto re-
route, a detour route may be shown.
After auto reroute, the route may not be
changed.
An unnecessary U−turn may be shown
or announced.
A location may have multiple names and
the system will announce one or more.
Some routes may not be searched.
If the route to your destination includes
gravel, unpaved roads or alleys, the route
guidance may not be shown.
Your destination point might be shown on
the opposite side of the street.
When a portion of the route has regula-
tions prohibiting the entry of the vehicle that
vary by time or season or other reason.
The road and map data stored in your
navigation system may not be complete or
may not be the latest version.
After replacing the tire, implement the
operation described in the “ Tire
change calibration”. (For details, see
page xc.)
This navigation system uses the tire turning
data and is designed to work with factory−
specified tires for your vehicle. Installing
tires that are larger or smaller than the origi-
nally equipped diameter may cause inaccu-
rate display of the vehicle’s position. The tire
pressure also affects the diameter of the
tires so please make sure the tire pressure
of all four tires is correct.
