Precautions/System Performance
In the following situations, your vehicle position may not be displayed correctly on the
map. But, as you keep driving, your vehicle position will be automatically corrected
utilizing map matching and GPS data.
Although you may encounter the following problems in route guide, there is nothing
wrong with the system.

Route Guide
For certain intersection shapes,
the upcoming turn or the name of
the intersection may not be
announced. For certain intersection shapes,
you may be prompted to turn right
or left When you should actually
stay on the same road. Voice guidance for the planned
route may continue even after you
have deviated from that route
such as having turned too early.
Some points where the road
divides on highways or toll roads
may not be displayed or
announced. The Intersection Zoom Map may
not always agree with the actual
shape of the intersection.
The announced distance to an
upcoming turn may differ slightly
from reality.

nRadio Reception
AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce off the
ionosphere. Therefore, they can reach
longer distances than FM signals. Because
of this, two stations may sometimes be
picked up on the same frequency at the
same time.
FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about 40–
50 km (25–30 miles) from the source.
Because of extra coding needed to break the
sound into two channels, stereo FM has
even less range than monaural (non-stereo)
FM. Signals from an FM transmitter are similar to
beams of light because they do not bend
around corners, but they do reflect.
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot travel
beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM stations
cannot be received at the great distances
possible with AM reception.
Atmospheric conditions can also affect FM
reception. High humidity will cause poor
reception. However, cloudy days may pro-
vide better reception than clear days.
Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be reflected by
obstructions, it is possible to receive both the
direct signal and the reflected signal at the
same time. This causes a slight delay in
reception and may be heard as a broken
sound or a distortion. This problem may also
be encountered when in close proximity to
the transmitter.

Audio Operation
lUse discs that have been legitimately
produced. If illegally-copied discs such as
pirated discs are used, the system may not
operate properly.
l Be sure never to touch the signal surface
when handling the CDs. Pick up a CD by
grasping the outer edge or the edge of the
hole and the outer edge.
l Do not stick paper or tape on the CD.
Avoid scratching the reverse side (the side
without a label). The disc may not eject
resulting in a malfunction.
l Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can
decrease the amount of light reflected from
the signal surface, thus affecting sound
quality. If the CD should become soiled,
gently wipe it with a soft cloth from the
center of the CD to the edge.
l Do not use record sprays, antistatic
agents, or household spray cleaners.
Volatile chemicals such as benzine and
thinner can also damage the surface of the
CD and must not be used. Anything that
can damage, warp, or fog plastic should
never be used to clean CDs.
l Insert discs one by one. If two discs are
inserted at the same time, the system may
not operate properly.
l The In-dash CD changer ejects the CD if
the CD is inserted upside down. Also dirty
and/or defective CDs may be ejected.
l Do not insert any disc with a peel-off seal
affixed to it. Handling the In-dash CD changer
l
This unit may not be able to play certain
CD-R/CD-RWs made using a computer or
music CD recorder due to disc
characteristics, scratches, smudges, dirt,
etc., or due to dust or condensation on the
lens inside the unit.
l Storing CDs in the vehicle exposed to
direct sunlight or high temperature may
damage the CD-R/CD-RWs, and make
them unplayable.
l CD-R/CD-RWexceeding 700 MB cannot
be played.
l This unit may not be able to play certain
discs made using a computer due to the
application (writing software) setting used.
(For details, consult the store where the
application was purchased.)
l It is possible that certain text data, such as
titles, recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW may
not be displayed when musical data (CD-
DA) is playing.
l The period from when a CD-RWis inserted
to when it begins playing is longer than a
normal CD or CD-R.
l Completely read the instruction manual
and cautions for CD-R/CD-RWs.
l Do not use discs with cellophane tape
adhering, partially peeled off labels, or
adhesive material exuding from the edges
of the CD label. Also, do not use discs with
a commercially-available CD-R label
affixed. The disc may not eject resulting in
a malfunction.
