Foreword
Thank you for your purchase of the Navigation System. Please
read this manual carefully to ensure proper use. Keep this
manual stored in your vehicle at all times.
The Toyota 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 can show you where you are and
assist you 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 are neither the shortest routes nor routes without
traffic congestion. Your own personal local knowledge or “short cut”
may at times be faster than the calculated routes.
The navigation system’s database includes about 50 point of inter-
est categories to allow you to easily select destinations such as
restaurants and hotels. 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 route you there. The system will provide both a
visual map and audio instructions. The audio instructions will an-
nounce the distance and direction to go when you are 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 circumstances. For more information on the limitations
of the system, refer to pages 58 through 60.
