INFO:
The GPS antenna is located on the instrument
panel inside the vehicle. Do not place any
objects, especially cellular 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.
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.

9. General system information
*When driving on a road not displayed on the
map screen or a road that has been
changed due to additional construction or
other reasons.
*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
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. Map data includes two types of areas: “Detailed
coverage areas” providing all detailed road data
and other areas showing “Main roads only”.
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
. 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 CALCULATION
.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].
“Route Settings” (page 3-46)
. 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, “The
route to your destination includes roads
through incomplete map areas. Voice gui-
dance will not be provided in these areas.”
When approaching the endpoint of the
suggested route, voice guidance will an-
nounce, “Entering the road with incomplete
map data. Please 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 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
— If you calculate a route on a main road, thestarting point of the route may not exactly
match the current vehicle location.
— The endpoint of the route may not exactly 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 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.
— 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.
— 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 ferry preference is set to OFF, a
route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.ROUTE GUIDANCE
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 GUIDANCE
This 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
.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.
“Recalculating route” (page 3-42)
. 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.
“Volume and Beeps settings”
(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, “You have arrived at
waypoint 1 (2, 3, 4,...) .” 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 “on the right/left”
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.

unsafe.
. The advice provided by the naviga-
tion system is to be regarded only as
a suggestion. There may be situa-
tions where the navigation system
displays the vehicle’s location incor-
rectly, fails to suggest the shortest
course, and/or fails to direct you to
your desired destination. In such
situations, rely on your own driving
judgement, taking into account cur-
rent driving conditions.
. Do not use the navigation system to
route you to emergency services. The
database does not contain a com-
plete listing of locations of emer-
gency service providers such as
police, fire stations, hospitals and
clinics. Please use your judgement
and your ability to ask for directions
in these situations.
. As the driver you solely are respon-
sible for your driving safety.

— In order to avoid traffic accidents or traffic offence, remember that
actual road conditions and traffic
regulations take precedence over
the information contained on the
navigation system.
— Accordingly, the Software may contain inaccurate or incomplete
information due the passage of
time, changing circumstances, and
due to the nature of the sources
used. Please observe the actual
traffic circumstances and regula-
tions at all times while driving.
— In a situation when actual road conditions and traffic regulations
differ from the information con-
tained on the navigation system,
then abide by traffic rules.
— The navigation system does not provide, or account for in any way,
information regarding traffic and
road laws; speed restrictions; road
conditions including road slope, grade, and/or surface conditions;
