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.

GPS information can be displayed.
“Viewing GPS current location infor-
mation” (page 7-32)
NOTE:
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.
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.

.When the vehicle is passing through a
large Y-shaped intersection/junction.
.When the vehicle is traveling on a
continuous, slowly curving road.
.When the vehicle is traveling on a road
with repeating S-shaped curves.
.When the vehicle is on a loop bridge.
.When the vehicle is on a snow-covered
or unpaved road.
.When repeatedly turning left or right, or
driving in zigzags.

.When the vehicle is rotated on a
parking lot turntable while the ignition
switch is off.
.When driving on a road not displayed
on the map screen or a road that has
been changed due to additional con-
struction or other reasons.
.When the GPS positioning accuracy is
low.
INFO:
.
The vehicle icon may be misaligned when
starting the vehicle just after starting the
engine or the hybrid system.
.The vehicle icon may also be misaligned if
different sized tires or tire chains are
installed.
.The system has a function that automati-
cally 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:
“ Detailed coverage areas” providing all
detailed road data and other areas show-
ing “Main roads only”.
NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in many
areas and is generally limited to select major
metropolitan areas.

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 re-
routing may not start immediately.
. 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 gui-
dance 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 CALCULATION
.There may be cases that carpool lanes
are included on a suggested route
when the automatic rerouting function
is activated, even if the “Use Time
Restricted Roads” is turned off.
“Setting conditions for route cal-
culation”(page 5-25)
. 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 sug-
gested route will be displayed in the
lower right corner of the screen. Also,
at this time, voice guidance will an-
nounce, “The route to the destination
includes roads through incomplete
map areas. Voice guidance will not be
provided in these areas”.
When approaching the endpoint of the
suggested route, voice guidance will
announce, “Entering the road with
incomplete map data. Use the direction arrow and distance information to
proceed to your destination.”
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
shortest, 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 regula-
tions. 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 move-
ment.
. During route calculation, buttons such
as / (if so
equipped),

.Waypoints that have been passed will
be disregarded by rerouting calcula-
tion.
. If you scroll the map while the sug-
gested route is being drawn, it may
take more time to finish drawing.
. If waypoints are set, the system calcu-
lates multiple routes between way-
points simultaneously, and the
following may result.
—
If one section between waypoints cannot
be calculated, none of the route will be
displayed.
—The route may not connect completely at
some waypoints.
—The route may require a U-turn close tosome waypoints.
. Route calculation may not be com-
pleted in the following cases.
—
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.
—If there is no main road within a range of1.5 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.
—If the vehicle is too close to the
destination or if there are no roads to
the destination, a message saying so
will appear on the screen.
—If it is impossible to reach the destina- tion or waypoints because of traffic
regulations, etc.
—If the only route to reach the destination
or waypoints is extremely complicated.
—If the destination, current vehicle posi-tion or waypoint is within the “Avoid
Area”.
—If a part of the route is included in the “Avoid Area”.
. The following may occur when the route
is displayed.
—
If you calculate a route on a main road,
the starting point of the route may not
exactly match the current vehicle loca-
tion.
—The endpoint of the route may notexactly match the destination.
—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 automati-
cally adjusted before recalculating the
route.
—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 direc-
tions are shown separately, such as
interchanges and service areas.
—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.
—Even if the freeway preference is set toOFF, a route that uses the freeway may
be suggested.
—Even if the ferry preference is set to OFF,a route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.

—Ferry lines, excluding those that are onlyfor pedestrians, bicycles and motor-
cycles, are stored in this system. Take
into consideration the travel time re-
quired and operational condition before
deciding whether to use them or not.ROUTE GUIDANCE
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 Français (French).
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
Voice guidance announces which direction
to turn when approaching an intersection
in which a turn is necessary.
NOTE:
.
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.
