6Navigation 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detours, and out-of-date map data.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
100).
Therefore, you must verify the audio
and visual route information provided
by the system by caref ully 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 Overview
Current Street
The 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 half a
mile away from a mapped road. For
more details, see Off-road Tracking on
page 61.
Verified/Unverified Street
Your navigation system has two kinds
of streets: verified (dark colored) and
unverified (light colored). The
differences between the two types of
streets are contrasted in the chart on
page 7.
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 colored) Unverified streets (light colored)
When
displayed These roads are generally found within metropolitan
areas, and include interstate freeways and major roads
connecting cities. These roads are generally found in
rural areas, and typically
include residential streets away from the center of a town.
Street color Shown on daytime
map screen as black or red, such as
interstate freeways. Shown on the daytime
map screen as light brown.
Map quality The database vendor has
verified these streets.
Information like tu rn 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 ve
rified by the database vendor.
The system does not contain in formation whether these are on
one-way streets, have turn rest rictions, or the road’s average
speed. They are shown on the ma p for reference and may have
errors in map location, naming, and address range.
Routing
differences While driving to your destin
ation, the displayed route
line is solid blue. The sy stem 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 page85.
Cautions There 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 c
hooses route guidance, there are
cautionary screens before and dur ing the route urging the user to
be extra cautious, and obey a ll traffic restrictions. See Unverified
Area Routing on page85.
Guidance
voice Voice guidance issues instruct
ions such as “In a half-
mile, make a right turn.” The phrase “if possible” is added
to each guidance instruction.
For example: “In a half-mile, ma ke a right turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go” The time and distance “t
o 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 thes
e roads is not known, the time
and distance “to go” is based on a fixed average speed of 25 mph
for these roads.

Voice Control Basics
Your 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,
the audio system is muted.
NAVI TALK button
This button activates the voice control
system. Press and release it when you
want to give a voice command. See
Voice Command Index on page140 for
a list of voice commands.
NAVI BACK button
This 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.

NOTE:
You may only view routes as shown above from the Calculate route to
screen.
The selected route method is shown at the top of the screen. It may take several minutes (the
system displays an hourglass while it
is calculating) to show all route
methods, and it is not unusual for the
different methods to pick the same
route. Voice commands cannot be
used while the system is calculating.
If the trip is greater than 100 miles, then “Minimize Freeways” and
“Minimize Toll Roads” may be
grayed out. This is normal.
Say or select Summary to display the
distance and time to go for each route.
Based on the route data, you can change
the routing by using the Next and Prev.

selection, say or select OK on the
screen. NOTE:
Distances and times shown for each
method in the Summary are
approximate.
After calculating the route with the new
