Navigation System5
Introduction
The navigation system is easy to use.
The locations of many places of
business and entertainment are already
entered in the system. You can select
any of them as a destination by using the
touch screen, joystick or voice control.
There are several ways to enter a
destination, such as by point of interest
(POI), by address, by phone number,
and by selecting it from the map. The
last 50 destinations are saved for reuse
at a later date. The system also allows
you to store a home address to simplify
returning home from your destination.Accessories Precautions
If you have front window tinting
installed, be aware that if the tint has
metallic properties, it can seriously
degrade or prevent GPS reception. This
is because the GPS antenna is located
under the dashboard.
If you plan to install electronic
components such as radar detectors,
vehicle location devices, remote
starters, additional amplifiers, or other
audio components ensure that they are
not located near the navigation control
unit under the dashboard, near the
navigation screen in the dash, or near
the GPS antenna under the dashboard.
Signal noise emanating from these
devices can cause intermittent
disruption of the navigation system.
Important Safety Information
The navigation system can distract your
attention from the road if you focus on
the screen or operate the system’s
controls while driving.
Enter as much information as possible
into the system before you begin
driving, or when the vehicle is stopped.
Then, as you drive, listen to the audio
instructions and use voice commands
when possible.

6Navigation System
While driving, do not look at the screen
or operate the system controls for more
than a second or so at a time, and only
after deciding you can do so safely. Pull
to the side of the road if you need more
time to look at the screen or operate the
controls. The navigation system is designed to
provide route information to help you
reach your destination. However, this
route guidance may sometimes conflict
with current road conditions such as
street closures, road construction,
detours, and out-of-date map data.
Additionally, the system itself has
certain limitations (see page97).
Therefore, you must verify the audio
and visual route information provided
by the system by caref
ully observing the
roadway, signs and signals, etc. If you
are unsure, proceed with caution.
Always use your own good judgment,
and obey traffic laws while driving.
Map Overview
Current Street
The current street on which your vehicle
is, appears at the bottom of the map
screen (see page18). A message saying
“Not on a digitized road” may appear
instead when you drive half a mile away
from a mapped road. For more details,
see Off-road Tracking on page59.
Verified/Unverified Street
Your navigation system has two kinds
of streets: verified (dark colored) and
unverified (light colored). The
differences between the two types of
streets are contrasted in the chart on
page7.
Using the navigation system
while driving can take your
attention away from the road,
causing a crash in which you
could be seriously injured or
killed.
Follow all operating instructions
and safety information in this
manual.

Voice Control Basics
Your vehicle has a voice control system
that allows hands-free operation of most
of the navigation system functions. You
can also control the audio system. The
voice control system uses the NAVI
TALK and NAVI BACK buttons on
the steering wheel and a microphone
near the map light on the ceiling.
NOTE:
While using the voice control system, all
of the speakers are muted.
NAVI TALK button
This button activates the voice control
system. Press and release it when you
want to give a voice command. See
Voice Command Index on page131 for
a list of voice commands.
NAVI BACK button
This button has the same function as the
CANCEL button. When you press and
release it, the disp lay returns to the
previous screen. When the previous
screen appears, the system replays the
last prompt. This button is enabled for
the navigation system commands only.
However, it can be used to cancel an
audio voice command up to one second
after the command confirmation.
