2014 TOYOTA AVALON ESP

5
To use this system in the safest possible
manner, follow all the safety tips shown
below.
This system is intended to assist in reach-
ing the destination and, if used properly,
can do so. The driver is solely responsible
for the safe operation of your vehicle and
the safety of your passengers.
Do not use any featur e of this system to
the extent it becom es a distraction and
prevents safe driving. The first priority
while driving should always be the safe op-
eration of the vehicle. While driving, be
sure to observe all traffic regulations.
Prior to the actual us e of this system, learn
how to use it and become thoroughly famil-
iar with it. Read the entire Navigation Sys-
tem Owner’s Manual to make sure you
understand the system. Do not allow other
people to use this system until they have
read and understood the instructions in
this manual.
For your safety, some functions may be-
come inoperable when driving. Unavail-
able screen buttons are dimmed. Only
when the vehicle is not moving, can the
destination and route selection be done. While driving, listen to the voice instruc-
tions as much as possible and glance at
the screen briefly and only when it is safe.
However, do not totally rely on voice guid-
ance. Use it just for reference. If the sys-
tem cannot determine the current position
correctly, there is a po
ssibility of incorrect,
late, or non-voice guidance.
The data in the system may occasionally
be incomplete. Road conditions, including
driving restrictions (no left turns, street clo-
sures, etc.) frequently change. Therefore,
before following any instructions from the
system, look to see whether the instruction
can be done safely and legally.
This system cannot warn about such
things as the safety of an area, condition of
streets, and availability of emergency ser-
vices. If unsure about the safety of an ar-
ea, do not drive into it. Under no
circumstances is this system a substitute
for the driver’s personal judgement.
Use this system only in locations where it
is legal to do so. Some states/provinces
may have laws prohibiting the use of video
and navigation screens next to the driver.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONCAUTION
● For safety, the driver should not operate
the navigation system while he/she is
driving. Insufficient attention to the road
and traffic may cause an accident.
● While driving, be sure to obey the traffic
regulations and maintain awareness of
the road conditions. If a traffic sign on
the road has been changed, route guid-
ance may not have the updated informa-
tion such as the direction of a one way
street.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM
■ROUTES INCLUDING IPD ROADS
After it has made a route calculation, the
system will advise the user whether IPD
roads are included in the route or not.
 The portion of the route that covers IPD
roads is indicated by light blue.
Even when on IPD roads (roads that
are not completely digitized in our da-
tabase), you will be guided along the
searched route via voice guidance.
No.Voice guidance
“On the way to your destination,
there will be roads with incomplete
data.”
“In half of a mile, left turn.”
“Next left. Upcoming roads have in-
complete data. Please carefully ob-
serve the local traffic restrictions, as
they may not match the navigation

IPD roads are roads that are not yet
completely digitized in our database.
However, their geometry, name and
administrative coding are already
known.
CAUTION
● Be sure to obey the traffic regulations
and keep the road condition in mind
especially when you are driving on IPD
