Navigation System
While driving, do not look at the screen
or operate the system controls for more
than a second or so at a time, and only
after deciding you can do so safely. Pull
to the side of the road if you need more
time to look at the screen or operate the
controls.The navigation system is designed to
provide route information to help you
reach your destination. However, this
route guidance may sometimes conflict
with current road conditions such as
street closures, road construction,
detours, and out-of-date map data.
Additionally, the system itself has
certain limitations (see page 98).
Therefore, you must verify the audio
and visual route information provided
by the system by carefully observing the
roadway, signs and signals, etc. If you
are unsure, proceed with caution.
Always use your own good judgment,
and obey traffic laws while driving.
Map OverviewCurrent StreetThe current street on which your vehicle
is located appears at the bottom of the map
screen (see page 19). A message
saying “Not on a digitized road” may
appear instead when you drive 800
metres away from a mapped road. For
more details, see
Off-road Tracking
on
page 60.
Verified/Unverified StreetYour navigation system has two kinds
of streets: verified (dark coloured) and
unverified (light coloured). The
differences between the two types of
streets are contrasted in the chart on
page 7. Note that the “Unverified” roads
are displayed only on the U.S. areas.
Using the navigation system
while driving can take your
attention away from the road,
causing a crash in which you
could be seriously injured or
killed.
Only operate system controls
when the conditions permit you
to safely do so.

Introduction
Verified streets (dark coloured) Unverified streets (light coloured)
When
displayedThese roads are found within metropolitan areas, and
include interstate highways and major roads
connecting cities.These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include
residential streets away from the centre of a town.
Street colourShown on daytime map screen as black or red, such as
interstate highways.Shown on the daytime map screen as light brown.
Map qualityThe database vendor has verified these streets.
Information like turn restrictions, average speed, and
whether it is a one-way street have been gathered and
used when creating your route to a destination.These streets have not been verified by the database vendor. The
system does not contain information on one-way streets, turn
restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown on the
map for reference and way have errors in map location, naming,
and address range.
Routing
differencesWhile driving to your destination, the displayed route
line is solid blue. The system provides voice and map
guidance to your destination.Your route line is either a blue dotted “vector line,” or a dashed
pink/blue line. For information on selecting this option, and the
routing differences, see Unverified Area Routing on page 83.
CautionsThere are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during
a route. However, because roads constantly change,
you are urged to use common sense, and always obey
posted traffic restrictions.Regardless of whether the user chooses route guidance, there are
cautionary screens before and during the route urging the user to
be extra cautious, and obey all traffic restrictions. See Unverified
Area Routing on page 83.
Guidance
voiceVoice guidance issues instructions such as “In 500 m,
make a right turn.”The phrase “if possible” is added to each guidance instruction.
For example: “In 500 m, make a right turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go”The time and distance “to go,” displayed while en
route to a destination, is based on the average speed
and distance for the roads used for your route.Because the average speed of these roads is not known, the time
and distance “to go” is based on a fixed average speed of 40 km/h
for these roads.

Navigation System
Getting StartedVoice Control BasicsYour vehicle has a voice control system
that allows hands-free operation of most
of the navigation system functions. You
can also control the audio and climate
control system. The voice control
system uses the NAVI TALK and NAVI
BACK buttons on the steering wheel
and a microphone near the map lights on
the ceiling.
NOTE:
While using the voice control system, all
of the speakers are muted.
NAVI TALK buttonThis button activates the voice control
system. Press and release it when you
want to give a voice command. See
Voice Command Index on page 131 for
a list of voice commands.
NAVI BACK buttonThis button has the same function as the
CANCEL button. When you press and
release it, the display returns to the
previous screen. When the previous
screen appears, the system replays the
last prompt. This button is enabled for
navigation system commands only.
However, it can be used to cancel an
audio or climate control voice command
up to one second after the command
confirmation.
NOTE:
The NAVI TALK and NAVI BACK
buttons are deactivated while using the
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® feature.
See your Owner’s Manual for
information on this system.
