Voice Guidance Prompts
As you get near the guidance point, you
will hear a voice reminder and see a
pop-up window showing you the
guidance point. You will typically hear
three prompts:
• The first is about 1/2 mile from the
guidance point.
• The next is about 1/4 mile from the guidance point.
• The final prompt is close to your actual turn.
If the distance between the next two
guidance points is very small, both of
them are displayed on the screen in a
single window, and the voice will
remind you of them at the same time. NOTE:
You can say “Voice” at any time, or
select Voice after pushing in on the
Interface Dial to be reminded of the
next guidance point.
Typically, a pop-up guidance window shows your next turn, and a voice
guidance is heard. The timing of
guidance varies depending on the
type of road you are on and the
distance to the next guidance point.
When the guidance in unverified areas,
the phrase “if possible” is inserted
before each guidance prompts. See
Unverified Area Routing on page 101
for more detailed information on the
unverified routing.

In the screen shown, traffic, gas stations,
and restaurants are selected. Rotate the
Interface Dial knob and push in to
select (blue with box checked) or
remove them (black with box
unchecked). You can also display or
hide the same icons by using the
“Display” or “Hide” voice commands
on the map screen (see page 158).
ICON OPTION
This feature allows you to “fine tune”
some of the icons on the Icon bar.
If you move the Interface Dial down
and select ICON OPTION , the
following screen will be displayed: The four icon choices – Parking
,
Restaurant , Other Icons , and
Traffic – can each be tailored to your
needs.
For instance, let’s assume that hospital
icons are not displayed on the map, and
you want to make sure that your settings
are correct. You would do the
following:
• First, ensure that OTHER ICON on
the Icon Bar is selected.
• Second, select Other Icons from
ICON OPTION and verify that the
hospital option is on (blue with box
checked). This procedure is explained
below.
If you select Other Icons from the
Select category for icon settings
screen, the other icon options are
displayed: In the previous example, only
POST
OFFICE and SCHOOL are selected
and will show up on the map. To also
see HOSPITAL on the map, this would
need to be turned on by first selecting it
and then pushing in on the Interface
Dial to select it so it appears as below.

Unverified Area Routing
Allows you to receive turn-by-turn ma p and voice guidance in unverified areas when en route to a destination (see Map Overview
on page 6). The chart below illustrates the routing differences with this setting ON or OFF .
Unverified Area Routing: OFF (factory default) Unverified Area Routing: ON
Decision:
Why choose
ON or OFF ?
The driver wishes to navigate manually by using the
navigation map and choosing th e streets that lead to the
destination. The driver un derstands that unverified
roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range. The driver chooses to let th
e navigation system suggest
possible routing. The driver understands that in some
cases, guidance may not be appropriate. Unverified
roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range.
What you will
see...A blue dotted vector line is displayed on the map that
continually points to your destination. The driver
should stop and then use the map to select streets that
lead to the destination. A blue-pink dashed route line highlights suggested
unverified streets
on the map while traveling to your
destination. This is in sharp contrast to the normal blue
route line displayed in verified areas.
Cautionary
messagesThere are cautionary pop-up screens and voice
announcements, before and during the route. These
serve as reminders that you should obey all traffic
restrictions. There are cautionary pop-
up screens and voice
announcements, before and during the route. These
serve as reminders that you should exercise additional
caution, and obey all traffic restrictions.
Guidance
(map/voice)There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance. Voice guidance co mmands end with the phrase “if
possible.” This is to remind the driver to verify all
traffic restrictions before getting near the guidance
point.
Directions listA direction list is typically not available. However,
depending on your route, directions are provided to
help you reach the first available verified road. A direction list is provided showing street names and
turn symbols in pink.

Navigation System103
System Setup
With Unverified Area Routing OFF ,
before you enter an unverified street, a
caution box appears on the screen and a
voice message is given. This lets you
know that you are about to enter an
unverified area and that you will be
following a dotted “vector line” that
points to your destination.
With Unverified Area Routing ON,
a caution box appear s on the screen and
is read by the voice. In this case, you
will be presented with a dashed blue/
pink line instead of the regular blue
route line. This is your signal to pay
attention to posted traffic restrictions.
You cannot assume that all guidance is
appropriate.
In both cases, when you actually enter
the unverified street, a short caution will
remind you. You will see and hear this
short caution message whenever you
enter unverified areas.
If you regularly enter and leave
unverified roads for short amounts of
time, there may be cases where no
guidance is provided. Unverified Area Routing “OFF” Unverified Area Routing “ON”
