SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ between
Plan View and Birdview
TM. This is because the quantity of the displayed information is reduced
so that the screen does not become too cluttered. There is also a
chance that names of the roads or locations may be displayed
multiple times, and the names appearing on the screen may be
different because of a processing procedure. This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle icon is not displayed in the correct
position. The vehicle was transported after the power switch was pushed off,
for example, by a ferry or car transporter. Drive the vehicle for a period of time on a road where
GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon may be incorrect
depending on the driving environments and the levels of positioning
accuracy of the navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for a
period of time to automatically correct the position
and direction of the vehicle icon.
ªCurrent vehicle locationº (page 10-29)
When the vehicle is traveling on a new road,
the vehicle icon is located on another road
nearby. Because the new road is not stored in the map data, the system
automatically places the vehicle icon on the nearest road available.
Updated road information will be included in the next
version of the map data.
The screen does not switch to the night screen
even after turning on the headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights were turned
on. Set the screen to the night screen mode using the
button when turning on the headlights.ªDisplay adjustmentº (page 1-14)
The map does not scroll even when the vehicle
is moving. The current location map screen is not displayed.
Push theMAPbutton.
The vehicle icon is not displayed. The current location map screen is not displayed. Push theMAPbutton.
The GPS indicator on the screen remains gray. GPS signals cannot be received under certain conditions, such as in a parking garage, on a road with many tall buildings, etc. Drive on an open, straight road for a period of time.
GPS signals cannot be received because objects are placed on the
instrument panel. Remove the objects from the instrument panel.
A sufficient number of GPS satellites is not available. Wait for the satellites to move to locations available
for the navigation system.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Traffic information is not displayed. Traffic information is not set to ON. Set the traffic information to ON.
The vehicle is in an area where traffic information is not
available. Scroll to an area where traffic information is available.
The subscription to NavTraffic is incomplete, or the sub-
scription to NavTraffic has expired. Check the subscription status of NavTraffic.
The map scale is set at a level where the display of icons is
impossible. Check that the map scale is set at a level in which the display
of icons is possible.
ªTraffic information display and scale levelsº (page 6-9)
With the automatic detour route search ON,
no detour route is set to avoid congested
areas. There is no faster route compared to the current route, based
on the road network and traffic information.
The automatic detour search is not intended for avoiding
traffic jams. It searches for the fastest route taking into
consideration conditions as traffic jams. Follow the current
route. Also see ªNOTES ON TRAFFIC INFORMATIONº for
further information.
The route does not avoid a road section with
traffic information stating that it is closed
due to road construction. The navigation system is designed not to avoid this event
because the actual period of closure may differ from the
declared roadwork period. Observe the actual road conditions and follow the instructions
on the road for detour when necessary. If the road is closed,
use the detour function and set the detour distance to avoid
the road section that is closed.

CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATIONGUID-3DB2B298-7959-42E7-A529-EBC2E6E1A510
Display of current vehicle locationGUID-AC334D4E-00C5-4F0B-889E-D50DC5D61202This 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)?
GUID-A33AD639-F86B-4DA8-B59E-2726CD899634GPS 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) .INI0121
*Inside tunnels or parking garages
INI0122
*In areas with numerous tall buildings
INI0123
*Under multi-layered highways

*When the GPS positioning accuracy is low.
INFO:
. The vehicle icon may be misaligned when
starting the vehicle just after the READY to
drive indicator light is ON.
. The vehicle icon may also be misaligned if
different sized tires or tire chains are
installed.
. The system has a function that automatically
corrects the vehicle icon position when it is
misaligned from the actual position.
. Vehicle position correction by GPS may not
function when the vehicle is stopped.
. If the vehicle icon position does not return to
normal even after driving for a while, correct
the vehicle icon position manually.

Detailed Map Coverage Areas
(MCA) for navigation system
GUID-A7515219-FB6B-4303-A8B1-B6FF7C9DABCDThis 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: ªDetailed
coverage areasº providing all detailed road data
and other areas showing ªMain roads onlyº.
INFO:
Detailed map data is not available in many areas
and is generally limited to select major metro-
politan areas.
When gray road is displayed on mapGUID-B4E64482-6BC5-421A-8E74-FD830C019E3A. When you are driving on a road displayed in
gray after the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route during route guidance,
automatic rerouting may not start immedi-
ately. .
The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in dark
green. Therefore, if the destination is set on
a road displayed in dark green, the enlarged
map display will return to the ordinary map
screen at some point on a suggested route
that is near the destination. Also, voice
guidance will stop at some point on a
suggested route that is near the destination.
. Places information and street names near
roads displayed in gray may not be con-
tained in the map data.
ROUTE CALCULATIONGUID-EE073CB3-3FAF-4421-BD08-BF04F3C95D6B.There may be cases where carpool lanes are
included on a suggested route when the
automatic rerouting function is activated,
even if the ªUse Time Restricted Roadsº is
turned off.
ªSetting conditions for route calcula-
tionº (page 3-55)
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in dark
green.
. If the destination is set on a dark green road,
the enlarged map display will switch to the
ordinary map screen at some point and
suggest a route that is near the destination.

of the vehicle icon is automatically
adjusted before recalculating the route.
Ð 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.
Ð 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.
Ð Even if the freeway preference is set to OFF, a route that uses the freeway may
be suggested.
Ð Even if the ferry preference is set to OFF, a route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.
Ð 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.ROUTE GUIDANCEGUID-D4460D59-8C4D-4A28-8361-F3C3C250F896
INFO:
The system will only announce street names
when the system language is set to English.
Street names are not announced when the
system is set to FrancË ais (French) .
Basics of voice guidanceGUID-D2B260D5-6CB0-48D2-B54D-66BD13AD9397Voice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
INFO:
. There may be some cases in which voice
guidance and actual road conditions do not
correspond. This may occur because of
discrepancies between the actual road and
the information on the map data, or it is due
to the vehicle's speed.
. In case voice guidance does not correspond
to the actual road conditions, follow the
information obtained from traffic signs or
notices on the road.
. Route guidance provided by the navigation
system does not take carpool lane driving
into consideration, especially when carpool
lanes are separated from other road lanes.
Directions provided and distances
to guide points
GUID-5384B826-AF3F-4803-AEE0-F26A41C42241Directions will differ, depending on the road
type.
INFO:
Distances may vary, depending on the vehicle
speed.
