VOICE RECOGNITION
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The system does not operate or fails to interpret the
command correctly after speaking a voice command. The system interprets the passenger’s speech. Ask the passenger to be as quiet as possible.
The fan speed of the air conditioner is too fast. Decrease the fan speed of the air conditioner.
The ambient noise level is excessive. (For example:
heavy rain, construction sites, inside a tunnel, oncoming
vehicles, etc.)Close the windows to shut out ambient noise.
The noise generated by driving the vehicle is too loud. Reduce the vehicle speed, and then speak the command.
The voice command is spoken in a low voice. Speak the command in a louder voice.
The timing of speaking a command is too fast. Speak the command after confirming the following: a voice guidance is announced, a tone sounds, and an
icon on the screen changes from white to orange.
The command is spoken too slowly. Speak in a natural voice without pausing between
words.
The system announces, "Please say again". Pronunciation is unclear. Speak clearly.

CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATION
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 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 satellites:
The reception of GPS signals can be weak,
depending on the environment. Vehicles in the
following areas/environments may not receiveGPS signals (indicator color: gray) .*Inside tunnels or parking garages
*In areas with numerous tall buildings
*Under multi-layered highways
*Areas with numerous tall trees
GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION

*In a canyon
INFO:
The GPS antenna is located on the instrument
panel inside the vehicle. Do not place any
objects, especially cellular phones or transcei-
vers, on the instrument panel. Because the
strength of the GPS signal is approximately one
billionth of that of TV waves, phones and
transceivers will affect or may totally disrupt
the signal.
Display of GPS information:
GPS information can be displayed.
“Viewing GPS current location informa-
tion” (page 6-11)
Incorrect display of vehicle position
The following cases may affect the display
accuracy of the vehicle’s position or traveling
direction. The accuracy will return to normal if
the driving conditions return to normal.
*When there is a similar road nearby.
*When the vehicle is traveling in an area with a
grid pattern road system.
*When the vehicle is passing through a large Y-
shaped intersection/junction.
*When the vehicle is traveling on a continuous,
slowly curving road.

*When the vehicle is traveling on a road with
repeating S-shaped curves.
*When the vehicle is on a loop bridge.
*When the vehicle is on a snow-covered or
unpaved road.
*When repeatedly turning left or right, or driving in
zigzags.
*When the vehicle is rotated on a parking lot
turntable while the power 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.
