Avoiding Voice Recognition Errors.
Read the notes listed below to allow the Voice Recognition function to recognize your voice properly.l
Speak a voice command clearly.
l Keep yourself in a safe driving position. Do not face or approach the microphone to make a
voice command recognizable.
Voice recognition may fail to recognize your command due to voice tone. If this happens,
change the tone of your voice by speaking more loudly and clearly.
l Keep the inside of the vehicle quiet when making a voice command. Your command may be
compromised by noises made by people, blinkers, the horn, vehicle vibration, and noises
from outside the vehicle.
l Use the language you selected in voice recognition.
The following voice commands can be used with voice control.

Precautions/System Performance
Voice guidance has the following functions:
nIntersection guidance
l
The system voice announces the distance to an upcoming turn and the turning direction.
This guidance function is automatic. Therefore, you do not have to set it, and it cannot be
disabled.
l The system vocally announces the distance to an upcoming highway branching point or
intersection.
Voice Guidance
l The navigation system is just a support system for the driver. The driver should
always pay attention to the traffic situation to safely make decisions. You may
be unable at times to arrive at your destination due to out-of-date information
on a map disc. You should be especially careful when selecting an urgent
destination such as a hospital or a police station.
l Your route may sometimes include roads that are not open to vehicles or are
closed due to traffic regulations. Please comply with the local traffic
regulations.
l Do not change the settings and destination locations while driving. Minimize
the time spent viewing the monitor screen and listening to the voice guidance
while driving. Operating the system will distract the driver from looking ahead
of the vehicle and may cause an accident. Always stop the vehicle in a safe
location and use the parking brake before operating the system.
When two intersections are close together, the
voice guidance may be late. When two roundabouts are close together, the
voice guidance for the second may be late.

GPS is a position detecting system utilizing the signals
from GPS satellites deployed by the U.S. Department of
Defense. The Mobile Navigation System uses input from
three or more satellites and calculates the vehicle position
based on the principle of triangulation.
The positioning accuracy of the system corresponds to the
error display of the GPS which is from about 30 to 200 meters
(98 to 656 ft)
.
l If you are using the system for the first time, or if you have not used it for some time, it takes
about 5 minutes (or about 2 minutes in open areas) to calculate your vehicle’s position.
nGPS signal reception is poor in the following places
lThe GPS satellites are controlled by the U.S. Defense Department, which may intentionally
lower positioning accuracy. In such cases, there may be vehicle position deviations.
l There may be vehicle position deviations for some time until GPS signals are received after
switching on the ignition.
This function compares your vehicle’s tracking data with the road data on the map
disc, applies dead reckoning to determine the road you are driving on, and displays
your vehicle on that road on the map.
l Intelligent map matching addresses the following problems to achieve high accuracy in
vehicle positioning.
Position Correction for Elevated RoadsPosition accuracy is improved by detecting if the vehicle is
running on or under an elevated road.
Position Correction for Parking GaragesPosition accuracy is improved by detecting if the vehicle is
driving in an elevated or underground parking garage.
High-precision GyrosensorA gyro detects turns with an accuracy of 0.05° per second.
Combined with a speed sensor, it enables the system to
display the current vehicle position even where GPS signals
may be blocked.
l Using a spare tire in place of the regular one may cause vehicle position deviations.
l Any difference between the direction which your vehicle actually travels and that shown on
the map is automatically eliminated by azimuth correction.

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.
