CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATIONENJN1502-120906-3DB2B298-7959-42E7-A529-EBC2E6E1A510
DISPLAY OF CURRENT VEHICLE
LOCATION
ENJN1502-120906-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)?
ENJN1502-120906-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 detect the position of the vehicle by
utilizing the principle of triangulation.
Positioning adjustmentGUID-397DB4FB-31B2-4B95-A408-0734E5AE4532When the system judges that the vehicle position
is not accurate based on vehicle speed and gyro
sensor data calculations, the system will auto-
matically adjust the position of the vehicle icon
using GPS signals.
Receiving signals from GPS satellitesGUID-BE69F8F9-5318-4090-9ED5-74A3046914D7The reception of GPS signals can be weak,
depending on the environment. Vehicles in the
following areas/environments may not receive
GPS signals.

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 turned 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
ENJN1502-120906-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.
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 metropo-
litan areas.
WHEN GRAY/DARK GREEN ROAD
IS DISPLAYED ON MAP
ENJN1502-120906-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 contained
in the map data.

ROUTE CALCULATIONENJN1502-120906-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 [Time Restricted Rd] is set to
[Use Restriction Info] or [Avoid].
ªRoute Settingsº (page 3-47)
. 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 your destination includes roads
through incomplete map areas. Voice gui-
dance will not be provided in these areas.º
When approaching the endpoint of the
suggested route, voice guidance will an-
nounce, ªEntering the road with incomplete
map data. Please 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, actual road
conditions and regulations take precedence
over map data information.
. During route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move
according to the actual vehicle's movement.
. During route calculation, buttons such as


> (GLW    0RGHO (1-1 (91$01&*. @
Ð If you calculate a route on a main road, thestarting point of the route may not exactly
match the current vehicle location.
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 accu-
rate. 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 interchanges 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 ferry preference is set to OFF, a
route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.ROUTE GUIDANCEENJN1502-120906-D4460D59-8C4D-4A28-8361-F3C3C250F896
INFO:
The system will announce street names when the
system language is set to English. Street names
are not announced when the system is set to
French/Spanish.
REPEATING VOICE GUIDANCEENJN1502-120906-43C350DF-CAB4-4E5D-8440-651D34A03D54This function is available throughout route
guidance, from the time after the route calcula-
tion is completed until the vehicle arrives at the
destination. Push and hold the


> (GLW    0RGHO (1-1 (91$01&*. @
.Voice guidance is activated only for inter-
sections with certain conditions. There may
be cases where the vehicle has to turn, but
voice guidance is not provided.
. Voice guidance contents may vary, depend-
ing on the direction of the turn and the type of
intersection.
. The voice guidance timing will vary depend-
ing on the situation.
. When the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route, voice guidance is not
available. The system will not announce this.
Refer to the map and recalculate the route.
ªRecalculating routeº (page 3-43)
. Voice guidance may not accurately corre-
spond with road numbers and directions at
freeway junctions.
. Voice guidance may not accurately corre-
spond to street names at freeway exits.
. The displayed street names may sometimes
differ from the actual names.
. Voice guidance is not available when the
[Guidance Voice] is turned off.
ªVolume and Beeps settingsº
(page 1-16) .
Voice guidance will start when the vehicle
enters the suggested route. Refer to the map
for directions to the starting point of the
route.
. When approaching a waypoint, voice gui-
dance will announce, ªYou have arrived at
waypoint 1 (2, 3, 4,...) .º Voice guidance will
switch to the next section of the route. When
voice guidance is not available, refer to the
map for directions.
. In some cases, voice guidance ends before
arrival at the destination. Refer to the
destination icon on the map to reach the
destination.
. If the system recognizes on which side the
destination (waypoint) is located, voice
guidance will announce ªon the right/leftº
after announcing the arrival at the destina-
tion.
. Voice guidance may be partially operational
or inoperative due to the angle of roads at an
intersection.
. Because freeway lane information is avail-
able only for approximately 7,000 major
freeways in North America, it is not possible
to display information for all junctions and
exits. .
Freeway exit information may differ from the
information on the actual exit signs.
. Because it is not possible to consider data
concerning roads that are seasonally avail-
able or unavailable, a route may be displayed
that does not match the actual traffic
restrictions. Be sure to follow the actual
traffic restrictions while driving.
. Canada and Alaska contain many roads with
incomplete map data. As a result, when
searching for a route, the route may include
roads with incomplete data. In regions where
road data is not complete, voice guidance
may stop for long periods of time. Be sure to
follow the actual traffic restrictions while
driving.
