Voice Recognition
Avoiding Voice Recognition Errors.Read the notes listed below to allow the Voice Recognition function to recognize your voice properly.l
Speak a voice command clearly.
l Keep yourself in a safe driving position. Do not face or approach the microphone to make a
voice command recognizable.
Voice recognition may fail to recognize your command due to voice tone. If this happens,
change the tone of your voice by speaking more loudly and clearly.
l Keep the inside of the vehicle quiet when making a voice command. Your command may be
compromised by noises made by people, blinkers, the horn, vehicle vibration, and noises
from outside the vehicle.
l Use the language you selected in voice recognition.
The following voice commands can be used with voice control.
( ): Say any one of the commands separated by a / (slash) within this type of parentheses.
[]: Recognizes without saying the command in “[]”
“/”: Recognizes when saying either commands before and after “/”
*Triple A stands for AAA. If the command is not spoken as indicated (Triple A), the system will not recognize the command.

Precautions/System Performance
Voice guidance has the following functions:
nIntersection guidance
l
The system voice announces the distance to an upcoming turn and the turning direction.
This guidance function is automatic. Therefore, you do not have to set it, and it cannot be
disabled.
l The system vocally announces the distance to an upcoming highway branching point or
intersection.
Voice Guidance
l The navigation system is just a support system for the driver. The driver should
always pay attention to the traffic situation to safely make decisions. You may
be unable at times to arrive at your destination due to out-of-date information
on a map disc. You should be especially careful when selecting an urgent
destination such as a hospital or a police station.
l Your route may sometimes include roads that are not open to vehicles or are
closed due to traffic regulations. Please comply with the local traffic
regulations.
l Do not change the settings and destination locations while driving. Minimize
the time spent viewing the monitor screen and listening to the voice guidance
while driving. Operating the system will distract the driver from looking ahead
of the vehicle and may cause an accident. Always stop the vehicle in a safe
location and use the parking brake before operating the system.
When two intersections are close together, the
voice guidance may be late. When two roundabouts are close together, the
voice guidance for the second may be late.

If necessary
GPS is a position detecting system utilizing the signals
from GPS satellites deployed by the U.S. Department of
Defense. The Mobile Navigation System uses input from
three or more satellites and calculates the vehicle position
based on the principle of triangulation.
The positioning accuracy of the system corresponds to the
error display of the GPS which is from about 30 to 200 meters
(98 to 656 ft)
.
l If you are using the system for the first time, or if you have not used it for some time, it takes
about 5 minutes (or about 2 minutes in open areas) to calculate your vehicle’s position.
nGPS signal reception is poor in the following places
lThe GPS satellites are controlled by the U.S. Defense Department, which may intentionally
lower positioning accuracy. In such cases, there may be vehicle position deviations.
l There may be vehicle position deviations for some time until GPS signals are received after
switching on the ignition.
This function compares your vehicle’s tracking data with the road data on the map
disc, applies dead reckoning to determine the road you are driving on, and displays
your vehicle on that road on the map.
l Intelligent map matching addresses the following problems to achieve high accuracy in
vehicle positioning.
Position Correction for Elevated RoadsPosition accuracy is improved by detecting if the vehicle is
running on or under an elevated road.
Position Correction for Parking GaragesPosition accuracy is improved by detecting if the vehicle is
driving in an elevated or underground parking garage.
High-precision GyrosensorA gyro detects turns with an accuracy of 0.05° per second.
Combined with a speed sensor, it enables the system to
display the current vehicle position even where GPS signals
may be blocked.
l Using a spare tire in place of the regular one may cause vehicle position deviations.
l Any difference between the direction which your vehicle actually travels and that shown on
the map is automatically eliminated by azimuth correction.

In the following situations, your vehicle positio

map. But, as you keep driving, your vehicle position will be automatically corrected
utilizing map matching and GPS data.
Although you may encounter the following problems in route guide, there is nothing
wrong with the system.

Route Guide
For certain intersection shapes,
the upcoming turn or the name of
the intersection may not be
announced. For certain intersection shapes,
you may be prompted to turn right
or left when you should actually
stay on the same road. Voice guidance for the planned
route may continue even after you
have deviated from that route
such as having turned too early.
Some points where the road
divides on highways or toll roads
may not be displayed or
announced. The Intersection Zoom Map may
not always agree with the actual
shape of the intersection.
The announced distance to an
upcoming turn may differ slightly
from reality.

nOperating Tips for In-Dash CD
Changer
Condensation phenomenon
Immediately after turning on the heater
when the vehicle is cold, the CD or optical
components (prism and lens) in the In-dash
CD changer may become clouded with
condensation. At this time, the CD will eject
immediately when placed in the unit. A
clouded CD can be corrected simply by
wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded optical
components will clear naturally in about an
hour. Wait for normal operation to return
before attempting to use the unit.
Handling the In-dash CD changer
The following precautions should be
observed.
l
Do not spill any liquid on the audio system.
l Do not insert any objects, other than CDs,
into the slot.
l The CD revolves at high speed within the
unit. Defective (cracked or badly bent) CDs
should never be used. l
Do not use non-conventional discs such as
heart-shaped, octagonal discs, etc. The
disc may not eject resulting in a
malfunction.
l If the memory portion of the CD is
transparent or translucent, do not use the
disc.
l A new CD may have rough edges on its
inner and outer perimeters. If a disc with
rough edges is used, proper setting will not
be possible and the In-dash CD changer
will not play the CD. In addition, the disc
may not eject resulting in a malfunction.
Remove the rough edges in advance by
using a ball-point pen or pencil as shown
below. To remove the rough edges, rub the
side of the pen or pencil against the inner
and outer perimeter of the CD.
l When driving over uneven surfaces,
the sound may jump.
