Navigation System
Introduction
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detours, and out-of-date map data.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 car efully 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 18). 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 60.
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 found within metropolitan areas, and include interstate freeways and major roads connecting cities.
These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include residential street s 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 veri fied by the database vendor. The system does not contain inform ation on one-way streets, turn restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown on the map for reference and may have e rrors 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 page 83.
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 page 83.
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 th e audio. 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 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 page 138 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 disp lay 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 voice command up to one second after the command confirmation.
