2010 TOYOTA AVALON change time

1
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 Po sitioning System (GPS) operated
by the U. S. Department of Defense. Using these signals and other
vehicle sensors, the system ca n 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 destinat ion 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 in cludes about 50 point of inter-
est categories to allow you to easily select destinations such as
restaurants and hotels. If a destinat ion is not in the database, you
can enter the street address or a ma jor 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.

INFORMATION
The display may be tinged in pur-
ple due to the reflection of sunlight,
but this is not a malfunction.
 The displayed image may become
darker and moving images may be
slightly distorted when the display
is cold.
 Under extremely cold conditions,
the map may not be displayed and
the data input by a user may be de-
leted. Also, the display may take
time to change.
 When you look at the screen
through polarized material such as

 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

When you are driving while the route
guidance is operating, you can change
the route to detour around a section of
the route where a delay is caused by
road repairs, an accident, etc.
Select the “Chg. route” switch on the
right side of the screen if you encounter
a reason to divert from the selected
route.

system would route you around a delay
caused by a traffic jam.

traffic jam is occurring due to road re-
pairs or an accident.

the detour distance selections are
5, 15 and 25 miles.
 The system may not be able to cal-
culate a detour route depending on
the selected distance and sur-
rounding road conditions.
“Search condition”: To change the con-
ditions of the searching route. (See page
