CAUTION
For safety, the driver should not
operate the navigation system
while he/she is driving.
Insufficient attention to the road
and traffic may cause an accident.
 While driving, be sure to obey the
traffic regulations and maintain
awareness of the road conditions.
If a traffic sign on the road has
been changed, route guidance
may provide incorrect information
such as the direction of a one way
street.
While driving, listen to the voice instruc-
tions as much as possible and glance at
the screen briefly and only when it is safe.
However, do not totally rely on voice guid-
ance. Use it just for reference. If the sys-
tem cannot determine the current vehicle
position correctly, there is a possibility of
incorrect, late, or non −voice guidance.
The data in the system may occasionally
be incomplete. Road conditions, including
driving restrictions (no left turns, street clo-
sures, etc.) frequently change. Therefore,
before following any instruction from the
system, look to see whether the instruction
can be done safely and legally.
This system cannot warn about such
things as the safety of an area, condition of
streets, and availability of emergency ser-
vices. If unsure about the safety of an
area, do not drive into it. Under no cir-
cumstances is this system a substitute
for the driver’s personal judgement.
Use this system only in locations where it
is legal to do so. Some states/provinces
may have laws prohibiting the use of video
and navigation screens next to the driver.

 Map database information and updates 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This navigation system calculates the current vehicle position using satellite sig-
nals, various vehicle signals, map data, etc. However, the accurate position may
not be shown depending on the satellite condition, road configuration, vehicle
condition or other circumstances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) developed and operated by the U.S. Department
of Defense provides an accurate current vehicle position, normally using 4 or more satel-
lites, and in some cases 3 satellites. The GPS system has a certain level of i\
naccuracy.
While the navigation system will compensate for this most of the time, occasional \
posi-
tioning errors of up to 300 feet (100 m) can and should be expected. Generally , position
errors will be corrected within a few seconds.
When your vehicle is receiving signals from the satellites, the “GPS” mark appears at the
top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically obstructed, leading to inaccurate vehicle \
position on
the map display. Tunnels, tall buildings, trucks, or even the placement of objects on the
instrument panel may obstruct the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not send signals due to repairs or improvements being mad\
e
to them.
Even when the navigation system is receiving clear GPS signals, the vehi\
cle position
may not be shown accurately or inappropriate route guidance may occur in so\
me cases.

NOTICE
The installation of window tinting may obstruct the GPS signals. Most window
tinting contains some metallic content that will interfere with GPS signal recep\
-
tion of the antenna in the instrument panel. We advise against the use of win-
dow tinting on vehicles equipped with navigation systems.
(a) Accurate current vehicle position may not be shown in the following case\
s:
When driving on a small angled Y −shaped road.
When driving on a winding road.
When driving on a slippery road such as in sand, gravel, snow, etc.
When driving on a long straight road.
When motorway and surface streets run in parallel.
After moving by ferry or vehicle carrier.
When a long route is searched during high speed driving.
When driving without setting the current position calibration correctly.
After repeating a change of direction by going forward and backward, or \
turning on
a turntable in the parking lot.
When leaving a covered parking lot or parking garage.
When a roof carrier is installed.
When driving with tire chains installed.
When the tires are worn.
After replacing a tire or tires.
When using tires that are smaller or larger than the factory specificati\
ons.
When the tire pressure in any of the four tires is not correct.
INFORMATION
If your vehicle cannot receive GPS signals, you can correct the current po\
sition
manually. For information on setting the current position calibration, see page
108.
(b) Inappropriate route guidance may occur in the following cases:
When turning at an intersection off the designated route guidance.
If you set more than one destination but skip any of them, auto reroute \
will display
a route returning to the destination on the previous route.
When turning at an intersection for which there is no route guidance.
When passing through an intersection for which there is no route guidanc\
