3. THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
If you notice any of the following symptoms, refer to the likely cause and the so-
lution, and re-check.
If the symptom is not resolved by the solution, have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
IF YOU NOTICE ANY SYMPTOMS
SymptomLikely causeSolution
The image is difficult to see
The vehicle is in a dark
area
The temperature around
the lens is either high or low
The outside temperature is
low
There are water droplets on
the camera
It is raining or humid
Foreign matter (mud etc.) is
adhering to the camera
Sunlight or headlights are
shining directly into the
camera
The vehicle is under fluo-
rescent lights, sodium
lights, mercury lights etc.
Back up while visually check-
ing the vehicle’s surround-
ings. (Use the monitor again
once conditions have been
improved.)
The procedure for adjusting
the picture quality of the rear
view monitor system is the
same as the procedure for
adjusting the navigation
screen. (P.40)
The image is blurry
Dirt or foreign matter (such as
water droplets, snow, mud
etc.) is adhering to the cam-
era.Rinse the camera lens with
water and wipe it clean with a
soft cloth.
Wash with a mild soap if the
dirt is stubborn.
The image is out of alignment
The camera or surrounding
area has received a strong
impact.Have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
The fixed guide lines are very
far out of alignment
The camera position is out of
alignment.Have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
The vehicle is tilted (there is
a heavy load on the vehicle,
tire pressure is low due to a
tire puncture, etc.)
The vehicle is used on an
incline.If this happens due to these
causes, it does not indicate a
malfunction.
Back up while visually check-
ing the vehicle’s surround-
ings.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM

Accurate current position may not be
shown in the following cases:
• When driving on a small angled Y-
shaped road.
• When driving on a winding road.
• When driving on a slippery road such as
in sand, gravel, snow, etc.
• When driving on a long straight road.
• When freeway and surface streets run in
parallel.
• After moving by ferry or vehicle carrier.
• When a long route is searched during
high speed driving.
• When driving without setting the current
position calibration correctly.
• After repeating a change of direction by
going forward and backward, or turning
on a turntable in a parking lot.
• When leaving a covered parking lot or
parking garage.
• When a roof carrier is installed.
• When driving with tire chains installed.
• When the tires are worn.
• After replacing a tire or tires.
• When using tires that are smaller or
larger than the factory specifications.
• When the tire pressure in any of the 4
tires is not correct.Inappropriate route guidance may occur in
the following cases:
• When turning at an intersection off the
designated route guidance.
• If you set more than 1 destination but
skip any of them, auto reroute will dis-
play a route returning to the destination
on the previous route.
• When turning at an intersection for which
there is no route guidance.
• When passing through an intersection
for which there is no route guidance.
• During auto reroute, the route guidance
may not be available for the next turn to
the right or left.
• During high speed driving, it may take a
long time for auto reroute to operate. In
auto reroute, a detour route may be
shown.
• After auto reroute, the route may not be
changed.
• If an unnecessary U-turn is shown or
announced.
• If a location has multiple names and the
system announces 1 or more of them.
• When a route cannot be searched.
• If the route to your destination includes
gravel, unpaved roads or alleys, the
route guidance may not be shown.
• Your destination point might be shown
on the opposite side of the street.
• When a portion of the route has regula-
tions prohibiting the entry of the vehicle
that vary by time or season or other rea-
sons.
• The road and map data stored in the
navigation system may not be complete
or may not be the latest version.
If the vehicle cannot receive GPS sig-
nals, the current position can be
adjusted manually. For information on
setting the current position calibration:
P. 2 4 6
After replacing a tire: P. 2 4 6
INFORMATION
●This navigation system uses tire turning
data and is designed to work with fac-
tory-specified tires for the vehicle.
Installing tires that are larger or smaller
than the originally equipped diameter
may cause inaccurate display of the cur-
rent position. The tire pressure also
affects the diameter of the tires, so make
sure that the tire pressure of all 4 tires is
correct.
