APPENDIX
278
This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However, the accurate posi-
tion may not be shown depending on
the satellite condition, road configura-
tion, vehicle condition or other circum-
stances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense provides an accurate cur-
rent vehicle position, normally using 4 or
more satellites, and in some case 3 satel-
lites. The GPS system has a certain level
of inaccuracy. While the navigation sys-
tem will compensate for this most of the
time, occasional positioning errors of up to
300 feet (100 m) can and should be expec-
ted. Generally, position errors will be cor-
rected within a few seconds.
When your vehicle is receiving signals
from the satellites, the “GPS” mark ap-
pears at the top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically ob-
structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle
position on the map display. Tunnels, tall
buildings, trucks, or even the placement of
objects on the instrument panel may ob-
struct the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not send signals
due to repairs or improvements being
made to them.
Even when the navigation system is re-
ceiving clear GPS signals, the vehicle
position may not be shown accurately or
inappropriate route guidance may occur in
some cases.
NOTICE
The installation of window tinting
may obstruct the GPS signals. Most
window tinting contains some metal-
lic content that will interfere with GPS
signal reception of the antenna in the
instrument panel. We advise against
the use of window tinting on vehicles
equipped with navigation systems.
Limitations of the
navigation system

END USER NOTICE
The marks of companies displayed by
this product to indicate business loca-
tions are the marks of their respective
owners. The use of such marks in this
product does not imply any sponsor-
ship, approval, or endorsement by
such companies of this product. There are two types of areas available
for route guidance. In one type of area,
primarily around metropolitan centers,
detailed route guidance is available for
the entire area. In the other type of area,
all roads are displayed on the map but
route guidance is limited. The naviga-
tion
route might lack precision because
the data (no right turns, oneway traf-
fic, etc.) is not complete. It is still pos-
sible to reach the destination by follow-
ing the arrow direction and distance as
shown on the bottom left of the screen.
The arrow points in the direction of the
destination. The distance shown is as
measured in a straight line from the cur-
rent vehicle position to the destination
area.
In order to provide you with as accurate
map information as possible, we are al-
ways gathering information such as on
road repairs and carrying out on−site in-
vestigations. However, the names of
roads, streets, facilities, and their locations
frequently change. In some places,
construction on roads may be in prog ress.
For that reason, information on some
areas in this system might be dif ferent from
the actual location.
The map database is normally updated
once a year. Contact your Toyota dealer
for information about the availability and
pricing of an update.
