ABOUT ROUTE GUIDANCE
After setting the route, select [Start] to start the
route guidance.
Throughout the route guidance, the system
navigates you through the guide points using
visual and voice guidance.
WARNING
. The navigation system’s visual and
voice guidance is for reference pur-
poses only. The contents of the
guidance may be inappropriate de-
pending on the situation.
. Follow all traffic regulations when
driving along the suggested route
(e.g., one-way traffic) .
“Route guidance” (page 9-7)
Voice guidance during route guidance
Basics of voice guidance:
Voice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection for 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 may also
be due to the vehicle 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.
. 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 or Spanish.
INFO:
. When approaching a guide point (intersec-
tion or corner) , destination, etc. during route
guidance, voice guidance announces the
remaining distance and/or turning direction.
Push and hold
