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.
General system information11-5
— If one section between waypoints cannotbe calculated, none of the route will be
displayed.
— The route may not connect completely at some waypoints.
— The route may require a U-turn close to some waypoints.
. Route calculation may not be completed in
the following cases.
— If there is no main road within a range of
1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the vehicle, a
message saying so will appear on the
screen. Try recalculating when the vehi-
cle is closer to a main road.
— If there is no main road within a range of 1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the destination or
waypoint, a message saying so will
appear on the screen. Try setting the
location closer to a main road.
— If the vehicle is too close to the destina- tion or if there are no roads to the
destination, a message saying so will
appear on the screen.
— If it is impossible to reach the destination or waypoints because of traffic regula-
tions, etc. — If the only route to reach the destination
or waypoints is extremely complicated.
— If the destination, current vehicle position or waypoint is within the “Avoid Area”.
— If a part of the route is included in the “Avoid Area”.
. The following may occur when the route is
displayed.
— If you calculate a route on a main road,
the starting point of the route may not
exactly match the current vehicle loca-
tion.
— The endpoint of the route may not exactly match the destination.
— If you calculate a route on a main road, the system may display a route from
another main road. This may be because
the position of the vehicle icon is not
accurate. In this case, park the vehicle in
a safe location and reset the vehicle icon,
or continue driving to see if the position
of the vehicle icon is automatically
adjusted before recalculating the route.
— There are cases in which the system shows an indirect route to reach the
destination or waypoints, if you set them
from stored or facility information. In
order to correct this, you must be careful
about the traffic direction, especially when lanes with different travel directions
are shown separately, such as inter-
changes and service areas.
— This system makes no distinction be- tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show an
indirect route even if the road is usable.
— Even if the freeway preference is set to OFF, a route that uses the freeway may
be suggested.
— Even if the ferry preference is set to OFF, a route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.
— Ferry lines, excluding those that are only for pedestrians, bicycles and motor-
cycles, are stored in this system. Take
into consideration the travel time required
and operational condition before decid-
ing whether to use them or not.
General system information11-7
.When approaching a waypoint, voice gui-
dance will announce, “You have arrived at
waypoint 1 (2, 3, 4,...) .” Voice guidance will
switch to the next section of the route. When
voice guidance is not available, refer to the
map for directions.
. In some cases, voice guidance ends before
arrival at the destination. Refer to the
destination icon on the map to reach the
destination.
. If the system recognizes on which side the
destination (waypoint) is located, voice
guidance will announce “on the right/left”
after announcing the arrival at the destina-
tion.
. Voice guidance may be partially operational
or inoperative due to the angle of roads at an
intersection.
. Because freeway lane information is avail-
able only for approximately 7,000 major
freeways in North America, it is not possible
to display information for all junctions and
exits.
. Freeway exit information may differ from the
information on the actual exit signs.
. Because it is not possible to consider data
concerning roads that are seasonally avail-
able or unavailable, a route may be displayed
that does not match the actual traffic restrictions. Be sure to follow the actual
traffic restrictions while driving.
. Canada and Alaska contain many roads with
incomplete map data. As a result, when
searching for a route, the route may include
roads with incomplete data. In regions
where road data is not complete, voice
guidance may stop for long periods of time.
Be sure to follow the actual traffic restric-
tions while driving..The XM NavTraffic®information service is
not provided for some cities. In addition, the
cities for which the traffic information service
is provided may be changed.
. In some cases, infrastructure problems may
prevent the complete display of the traffic
information. This is not a malfunction.
. Due to infrastructure problems, or due to the
time when the traffic information service
broadcast is received, the displayed infor-
mation may differ from the actual traffic
conditions.
. Depending on the traffic information, a
detour route may be slower than the original
route.

.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.
