This manual explains the operation of the Navigation System. Please read this manual
carefully to ensure proper use. Keep this manual in your vehicle at all times.
The screen shots in this document and the actual screens of the navigation system dif-
fer depending on whether the functions and/or a contract existed and the map data
was available at the time of producing this document.
Please be aware that the content of this manual may be different from the navigation
system in some cases, such as when the system’s software is updated.
The Navigation System is one of the most technologically advanced vehicle accesso-
ries ever developed. The system receives satellite signals from the Global Positioning
System (GPS) operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. Using these signals and
other vehicle sensors, the system indicates your present position and assists in locating
a desired destination.
The navigation system is designed to select efficient routes from your present starting
location to your destination. The system is also designed to direct you to a destination
that is unfamiliar to you in an efficient manner. The system uses DENSO maps. The cal-
culated routes may not be the shortest nor the least traffic congested. Your own per-
sonal local knowledge or “short cut” may at times be faster than the calculated routes.
The navigation system’s database includes Point of Interest categories to allow you to
easily select destinations such as restaurants and hotels. If a destination is not in the da-
tabase, you can enter the street address or a major intersection close to it and the sys-
tem will guide you there.
The system will provide both a visual map and audio instructions. The audio instructions
will announce the distance remaining and the direction to turn in when approaching an
intersection. These voice instructions will help you keep your eyes on the road and are
timed to provide enough time to allow you to maneuver, change lanes or slow down.
Please be aware that all current vehicle navigation systems have certain limitations that
may affect their ability to perform properly. The accuracy of the vehicle’s position de-
pends on satellite conditions, road configuration, vehicle condition or other circum-
stances. For more information on the limitations of the system, refer to pages 149
through 151.

To use this system in the safest possible
manner, follow all the safety tips shown be-
low.
This system is intended to assist in reaching
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 feature of this system to the
extent it becomes a distraction and pre-
vents safe driving. The first priority while
driving should always be the safe operation
of the vehicle. While driving, be sure to ob-
serve all traffic regulations.
Prior to the actual use 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. Unavailable
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 instructions
as much as possible and glance at the
screen briefly and only when it is safe. How-
ever, do not totally rely on voice guidance.
Use it just for reference. If the system can-
not determine the current position correct-
ly, there is a possibility 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 services. If un-
sure about the safety of an area, do not drive
into it. Under no circumstances is this sys-
tem 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 guidance
may not have the updated information
such as the direction of a one way street.
