If there is no point registered,
switches such as “Marked points”,
“Home”, “Previous destination” or
“Previous starting point” are
dimmed and not available.
The route for returning may not be
the same as that for going.
The route guidance to the destina-
tion may not be the shortest route

intersection.
Select the “Map” switch on the “Turn list”
screen of your desired point. The point
which you choose is displayed on the map

the turn list.
If a long route has been selected, it
may take a long time to display the
turn list.

scale runs from 1/32nd of a mile to 128
miles. Push and release the zoom in/out
buttons to the
“+” side or “” side to
change the scale one step at a time. Push
and hold either button to zoom in or out
smoothly.
The map scale is displayed under the
North−up symbol or Heading−up symbol
at the top left of the screen.
If you wish to look at a different point on the

occur in the following cases:
When turning at a wrong intersection
off the designated route guidance.
If you are heading for a destination
without passing through a set preferred
road, automatic rerouting may display
a route returning to the set preferred
road.
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 automatic rerouting, 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-
matic rerouting during high speed dri-
ving. In automatic rerouting, a detour
route may be shown.
During automatic rerouting, the route
may not be changed.
The route in a U−turn may be shown or
announced.
A location may have multiple names
and the system will announce one or

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
reasons.
The road and map data stored in your
navigation system may not be com-
plete or may not be the latest release.After replacing the tire, implement the
operation described in the “Current
position calibration”. (For details, see
page 95.)
This navigation system uses tire turning
data and is designed to work with factory−
specified tires for your Toyota. Installing
tires that are larger or smaller than the orig-
inally equipped diameter may cause inac-
curate 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.
