11-2General system information
DISPLAY OF CURRENT VEHICLE
LOCATION
This navigation system combines the data
obtained from the vehicle (by gyro sensor) and
from GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites
to calculate the current location of the vehicle.
This position is then displayed throughout route
guidance to a destination.
WHAT IS GPS (Global Positioning
System)?
GPS is a position detecting system that uses
satellites deployed by the U.S. government. This
navigation system receives radio signals from
three or more different satellites that orbit
13,049 miles (21,000 km) above the earth in
space, and detects the position of the vehicle by
utilizing the principle of triangulation.
Positioning adjustment
When the system judges that the vehicle
position information is not accurate based on
vehicle speed and gyro sensor data calculations,
the system will automatically adjust the position
of the vehicle icon using GPS signals.
Receiving signals from GPS satel-
lites
The reception of GPS signals can be weak,
depending on the environment. Vehicles in the
following areas/environments may not receive
GPS signals (indicator color: gray) .
*Inside tunnels or parking garages
*Areas with numerous tall buildings
*Under multi-layered highways
*Under many large trees
CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATION

*When the vehicle is rotated on a parking lot
turntable while the ignition switch is off.
*When driving on a road not displayed on the map
screen or a road that has been changed due to
additional construction or other reasons.
*When the GPS positioning accuracy is low.
INFO:
. The vehicle icon may be misaligned when
starting the vehicle just after starting the
engine.
. The vehicle icon may also be misaligned if
different sized tires or tire chains are
installed.
. The system has a function that automatically
corrects the vehicle icon position when it is
misaligned from the actual position.
. Vehicle position correction by GPS may not
function when the vehicle is stopped.
. If the vehicle icon position does not return to
normal even after driving for a while, correct
the vehicle icon position manually.
“Adjusting current vehicle location” (page 2-96)
DETAILED MAP COVERAGE AREAS
(MCA) FOR NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This system is designed to help guiding to the
destination, and it also performs other functions
as outlined in this manual. However, the system
must be used safely and properly. Information
concerning road conditions, traffic signs and the
availability of services may not always be up-to-
date. The system is not a substitute for safe,
proper and legal driving. Map data covers select
metropolitan areas in the United States and
Canada.
Map data includes two types of areas: “Detailed
coverage areas” providing all detailed road data
and other areas showing “Main roads only”.
NOTICE
Detailed map data is not available in
many areas and is generally limited to
select major metropolitan areas.

11-6General system information
WHEN GRAY ROAD IS DISPLAYED
ON MAP
.When you are driving on a road displayed in
gray after the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route during route guidance,
automatic rerouting may not start immedi-
ately.
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in dark
green. Therefore, if the destination is set on
a road displayed in dark green, the enlarged
map display will return to the ordinary map
screen at some point on a suggested route
that is near the destination. Also, voice
guidance will stop at some point on a
suggested route that is near the destination.
. Places information and street names near
roads displayed in gray may not be con-
tained in the map data.
.There may be cases that carpool lanes are
included on a suggested route when the
automatic rerouting function is activated,
even if the “Use Time Restricted Roads” is
turned off.
“Setting conditions for route calcula-
tion” (page 2-65)
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in dark
green.
. If the destination is set on a dark green road,
the enlarged map display will switch to the
ordinary map screen at some point and
suggest a route that is near the destination.
The distance and direction to the endpoint
of the suggested route will be displayed in
the lower right corner of the screen. Also, at
this time, voice guidance will announce,
“The route to the destination includes roads
through incomplete map areas. Voice gui-
dance will not be provided in these areas”.
When approaching the endpoint of the
suggested route, voice guidance will an-
nounce, “Entering the road with incomplete
map data. Use the direction arrow and
distance information to proceed to your
destination.”
To reach the destination, refer to the map
screen. Always follow actual roads and regulations and drive safely.
. The suggested route may not be the short-
est, nor are other circumstances such as
traffic jams considered.
. Because of the inevitable difference in road
conditions and circumstances between the
time you use this system and the time the
information was produced for the map data,
there may be discrepancies in roads and
regulations. In such cases, follow the actual
information available.
. During route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move
with the actual vehicle’s movement.
. During route calculation, buttons such as

11-8General system information
INFO:
The system will only announce street names
when the system language is set to English.
Street names are not announced when the
system is set to Franc¸ ais (French).
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
Voice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
NOTICE
. There may be some cases in which
voice guidance and actual road
conditions do not correspond. This
may occur because of discrepancies
between the actual road and the
information on the map data, or it is
due to the vehicle’s speed.
. In case voice guidance does not
correspond to the actual road con-
ditions, follow the information ob-
tained from traffic signs or notices
on the road.
. Route guidance provided by the
navigation system does not take
carpool lane driving into considera- tion, especially when carpool lanes
are separated from other road
lanes.
DIRECTIONS PROVIDED AND DIS-
TANCES TO GUIDE POINTS
Directions will differ, depending on the road
type.
Notification of intersection on or-
dinary road
1. “In about one quarter mile (400 meters) ,
right (left) turn.”
2. “Right (left) turn ahead.”
Notification of consecutive inter-
sections on ordinary roads
When the road has three or more consecutive
intersections ahead, voice guidance will an-
nounce the following.
1. “In about one quarter mile (400 meters) , right (left) turn, then in about one quarter
mile (100 meters) left (right) turn.”
2. “Left (right) turn ahead, then in about one quarter mile (100 meters) right (left) turn.”

correctly, fails to suggest the short-
est route, or fails to direct you to the
your desired destination. In such
instances, rely on your own driving
judgement, taking into account the
driving conditions at the time.
. Do not use the navigation system to
locate emergency services. The da-
tabase does not contain a complete
listing of emergency services such
as police stations, fire halls, hospi-
tals and walk-in clinics. Please
show discretion and ask for direc-
tions in such instances.
. As the driver, you alone are respon-
sible for your driving safety.
— In order to avoid a traffic acci-
dent, do not operate the system
while driving.
— In order to avoid a traffic acci- dent, operate the system only
when the vehicle is stopped at a
safe place and the parking brake is on.
— In order to avoid a traffic acci- dent or traffic offence, remem-
ber that actual road conditions
and traffic regulations take pre-
cedence over the information
