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 sig-
nals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. Using these signals and other vehicle sen-
sors, 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 also designed
to direct you to a destination that is unfamiliar to you in an efficient manner.
The system uses DENSO maps. The calculated routes may not be the
shortest nor the least traffic congested. Your own personal local knowl-
edge or “short cut” may at times be faster than the calculated 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 au-
dio instructions will announce the distance remaining and the direction to
turn in approaching an 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.

BASIC FUNCTIONS
28
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 (1) ap-
pears in the center or bottom center of the
map screen.
A street name will appear on the bottom of
the screen, depending on the scale of the
map (
2).
You can return to this map screen that
shows your current position at any time
from any screen by pushing the “MAP/
VOICE” button.
While driving, the current vehicle position
mark is fixed on the screen and the map
moves.
The current position is automatically set as
the vehicle receives signals from the GPS
(Global Positioning System). If the current
position is not correct, it is automatically
corrected after the vehicle receives sig-
nals from the GPS.
INFORMATION
D After battery disconnection, or on
a new vehicle, the current position
may not be correct. As soon as the
system receives signals from the
GPS, the correct current position
is displayed.
D To correct the current position
manually, see page 115.
When any point on the map is touched,
that point moves to the center of the screen
and is shown by the cursor mark (
1).
Use the scroll feature to move the desired
point to the center of the screen for looking
at a point on the map that is different from
the current position of the vehicle.
If the finger is continuously held on the
screen, the map will continue scrolling in
that direction until the finger is removed.
A street name, city name, etc. of the
touched point will be shown, depending on
the scale of the map (
2). Distance from
the current position towill also be
shown (3).
After the screen is scrolled, the map re-
mains centered at the selected location
until another function is activated. The cur-
rent vehicle position mark will continue to
move along your actual route and may
move off the screen. When the “MAP/
VOICE” button is pushed, the current ve-
hicle position mark returns to the center of
the screen and the map moves as the ve-
hicle proceeds along the designated route.
INFORMATION
When the one −touch scroll feature is
used, the current vehicle position
mark may disappear from the screen.
Move the map with a one− touch scroll
again or push the “MAP/VOICE” but-
ton to return to the current vehicle
position map location display.

ROUTE GUIDANCE
70
One−way road
One −way road
: The system indicates a U −turn if the dis-
tance between two one −way roads (of op-
posite directions) is less than 50 feet (15
m) in residential areas or 164 feet (50 m)
in non −residential areas.
1“In half of a mile, make a legal
U− turn.”
2“Make a legal U −turn ahead.”
3(Beep sound only)
The system announces the approach to
the final destination.
1“Your destination is ahead.”
2“You have arrived at your des-
tination. The route guidance is
now finished.”
INFORMATION
D If the system cannot determine the
current vehicle position correctly
(in cases of poor GPS signal recep-
tion), the voice guidance may be
made early or delayed.
D If you did not hear the voice guid-
ance command, push the “MAP/
VOICE” button to hear it again.
D To adjust the voice guidance vol-
ume, see “Volume” on page 89.

Listening to the radio
Push these buttons to choose either an
AM or FM station.
“AM”, “FM1” or “FM2” appears on the
screen.
If your vehicle is equipped with a satellite
radio broadcast system, when you push
the “AM·SAT” button, “AM”, “SAT1”,
“SAT2”, “SAT3” station appears on the dis-
play. For details about satellite radio
broadcast, see “— Radio operation (XM
r
Satellite Radio broadcast)” on page 199.
Turn the knob clockwise to step up the
station band or counterclockwise to
step down.
Your radio automatically changes to stereo
reception when a stereo broadcast is re-
ceived. “ST” appears on the screen. If the
signal becomes weak, the radio reduces
the amount of channel separation to pre-
vent the weak signal from creating noise.
If the signal becomes extremely weak, the
radio switches from stereo to mono recep-
tion. In this case, “ST” disappears from the
screen.

NOTICE
To ensure correct audio/video sys-
tem operations:
DBe careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/video system.
DDo not put anything other than on
appropriate discs into the CD
changer or DVD changer slot.
DThe use of a cellular phone inside
or near the vehicle may cause a
noise from the speakers of the
audio/video system which you are
listening to. However, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
Radio reception
Usually, the problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with your
radio −it is just the normal result of condi-
tions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can interfere with
AM signals. And of course, radio signals
have a limited range, and the farther you
are from a station, the weaker its signal will
be. In addition, reception conditions
change constantly as your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a prob-
lem with your radio:
