Displaying timeline of quick and sudden
acceleration and driving:
&1Quickly depressing the accelerator pedal will
result in a steep climbing line.
&2When the accelerator is being depressed quickly,
the angle of the line slopes upwards at a steep
angle.
&3Releasing the accelerator pedal quickly will result
in a pointed line
&4Here the accelerator is being depressed and
released repeatedly. The resulting line displayed
appears wavy. Repeatedly depressing and re-
leasing the accelerator pedal will result in a wavy
line.
BRAKING SCREEN
The braking screen displays the results of how
the vehicle behaves based on the manner in
which the driver operates the vehicle. The
information displayed is for confirmation pur-
poses. The results of how the brake pedal is
used are displayed as a timeline of g-force
exerted on the vehicle during deceleration. Use
the information to improve your operation of the
brake pedal.
WARNING
.Use the information from the multi
function meter strictly as a refer-
ence to make your driving more
comfortable. The readings are not
meant to prevent accidents caused
by reckless driving or poor driving
conditions (due to weather, road
condition, etc.) . Always obey all
traffic regulations and posted speed
limits.
. Red zone readings are configured to
function only as a guide for smooth
driving. The readings are not in-
tended to prevent accidents caused
by reckless driving.
How to view the screen
&1BRAKE G (timeline graph):
Displays the deceleration of the g-force being
exerted on the vehicle. The vertical readout
illustrates the progress of acceleration and the
horizontal readout tracks the deceleration time-
line of the past 20 seconds.
&2Red zone display:
The color of the graph will change when the level
of g-force exerted on the vehicle while decelerat-
ing exceeds a preset level.
&3G-meter:
Displays the g-force currently being exerted due
on the vehicle due to deceleration.
&4SPEED:
Displays the current driving speed.
&5BRAKE PEDAL:
Displays the brake pedal position.

INFO:
. The reading that the brake meter displays
when the pedal is being depressed may
vary, depending on the vehicle speed and
road conditions. The brake meter may not
display a reading of “100%” even when the
brake is being fully depressed. This is not a
malfunction.
. This panel only displays acceleration infor-
mation when the vehicle is decelerating. It
does not display any acceleration informa-
tion when the vehicle is accelerating.
. Due to the slope of a road, this meter may
register g-force even when the vehicle is
stopped. This is not a malfunction.
. When the VDC or the ABS is activated, a
mark will appear on the far left side of the
panel (large panel only) .
. The scale of the readout is adjusted auto-
matically to accommodate readings that
exceed the upper limit of the meter.Using result screens to improve
driving
INFO:
This section explains how to use the driving
timeline screens. Use this information to make
your driving smoother.
Timeline and driving that show smooth
operation of brake pedal:
&1Depressing the brake pedal slowly and smoothly
will result in a smoothly dropping line.
&2By gradually depressing the brake pedal, the
angle of the line slopes gently downwards.
&3Slowly releasing the brake pedal results in a
stable deceleration. The timeline display gradually
becomes a straight horizontal line.
&4When you release the brake pedal slowly, the line
of the braking panel slopes gently upwards.
Timeline and driving that show sudden
operation of brake pedal:
&1Because the brake pedal is being depressed
quickly, the angle of the line drops off at a steep
angle.
&2Quick application of the brake pedal results in a
steep dropping line.
&3When the brake pedal is repeatedly depressed
and released, the resulting line appears wavy.
&4Because the brake pedal was depressed quickly
the vehicle stopped abruptly. The graph becomes
perpendicular to the time scale.
11-14General system information
.The advice provided by the naviga-
tion system is to be regarded as a
suggestion only. There may be
times when the navigation system
displays the vehicle’s location in-
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
contained on the navigation sys-
tem.
— The Software may contain inac- curate or incomplete informa-
tion due to the passage of
time, changing circumstances,
and the sources of information
used. Please respect current
traffic conditions and regula-
tions at all times while driving.
— Where actual road conditions and highway regulations differ
from the information contained
on the navigation system, abide
by the highway regulations.
— Keep the amount of time spent viewing the screen while driving
to a strict minimum. The navigation system does not provide,
nor represent in any way information on:
traffic and highway regulations; technical
aspects of the vehicle including weight,
height, width, load and speed limits; road
conditions including grade, percentage of
incline and surface conditions; obstacles
such as the height and width of bridges
and tunnels; and other current driving or
road conditions. Always rely on your own
judgement when driving a car, taking into
account current driving conditions.
