Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Navigation System. Please
read this manual carefully to ensure proper use. Keep this
manual in your vehicle at all times.
The 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 sen-
sors, the system indicates your present position and assists 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 also de-
signed to direct you to a destination that is unfamiliar to you in an effi-
cient manner. Map database is made based on AISIN AW maps,
whose information source comes from NAVTEQ maps. The calcu-
lated routes may not be the shortest nor the least traffic congested.
Your own personal local knowledge or “short cut” may at times be
faster than the calculated routes.
The navigation system’s database includes about 110 Point of Interest
categories to allow you to easily select destinations such as restau-
rants 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
guide you there.
The system will provide both a visual map and audio instructions.
The audio instructions will announce the distance remaining and the
direction to turn in approaching a fork or intersection. These voice in-
structions 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.
