11-2General system information
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 information 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 satel-
lites
The reception of GPS signals can be weak,
depending on the environment. Vehicles in the
following areas/environments may not receive
GPS signals (indicator color: gray) .
*Inside tunnels or parking garages
*Areas with numerous tall buildings
*Under multi-layered highways
*Under many large trees

INFO:
The GPS antenna is located on the instrument
panel inside the vehicle. Do not place any
objects, especially mobile 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.
ªViewing GPS current location informa-
tionº (page 6-22)
NOTICE
Route guidance provided by the naviga-
tion system does not take carpool lane
driving into consideration, especially
when carpool lanes are separated from
other road lanes.
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.

INFO:
. The vehicle icon may be misaligned when
starting the vehicle just after starting the
engine.
. 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
This 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.
NOTICE
Detailed map data is not available in
many areas and is generally limited to
select major metropolitan areas.

11-6General system information
WHEN GRAY ROAD IS DISPLAYED
ON MAP
.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.
.There may be cases that 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 2-65)
. 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.
The distance and direction to the endpoint
of the suggested route will be displayed in
the lower right corner of the screen. Also, at
this time, voice guidance will announce,
ªThe route to the destination includes roads
through incomplete map areas. Voice gui-
dance will not be provided in these areasº.
When approaching the endpoint of the
suggested route, voice guidance will an-
nounce, ªEntering the road with incomplete
map data. Use the direction arrow and
distance information to proceed to your
destination.º
To reach the destination, refer to the map
screen. Always follow actual roads and regulations and drive safely.
. The suggested route may not be the short-
est, nor are other circumstances such as
traffic jams considered.
. Because of the inevitable difference in road
conditions and circumstances between the
time you use this system and the time the
information was produced for the map data,
there may be discrepancies in roads and
regulations. In such cases, follow the actual
information available.
. During route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move
with the actual vehicle's movement.
. During route calculation, buttons such as


> (GLW    0RGHO 51 @
Ð If one section between waypoints cannotbe calculated, none of the route will be
displayed.
Ð The route may not connect completely at some waypoints.
Ð The route may require a U-turn close to some waypoints.
. Route calculation may not be completed in
the following cases.
Ð If there is no main road within a range of
1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the vehicle, a
message saying so will appear on the
screen. Try recalculating when the vehi-
cle is closer to a main road.
Ð If there is no main road within a range of 1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the destination or
waypoint, a message saying so will
appear on the screen. Try setting the
location closer to a main road.
Ð If the vehicle is too close to the destina- tion or if there are no roads to the
destination, a message saying so will
appear on the screen.
Ð If it is impossible to reach the destination or waypoints because of traffic regula-
tions, etc. Ð If the only route to reach the destination
or waypoints is extremely complicated.
Ð If the destination, current vehicle position or waypoint is within the ªAvoid Areaº.
Ð If a part of the route is included in the ªAvoid Areaº.
. The following may occur when the route is
displayed.
Ð If you calculate a route on a main road,
the starting point of the route may not
exactly match the current vehicle loca-
tion.
Ð The endpoint of the route may not exactly match the destination.
Ð If you calculate a route on a main road, the system may display a route from
another main road. This may be because
the position of the vehicle icon is not
accurate. In this case, park the vehicle in
a safe location and reset the vehicle icon,
or continue driving to see if the position
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.

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 GUIDANCE
Voice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
NOTICE
. 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 con-
ditions, follow the information ob-
tained from traffic signs or notices
on the road.
. Route guidance provided by the
navigation system does not take
carpool lane driving into considera- tion, especially when carpool lanes
are separated from other road
lanes.
DIRECTIONS PROVIDED AND DIS-
TANCES TO GUIDE POINTS
Directions will differ, depending on the road
type.
