Regarding Vehicle Position Detection
Correction Using Map Matching
Map matching is a method of comparing information on the current
position acquired by GPS and so on, with the road driven up to that
point, and correcting the current position based on the most likely
road.
This unit uses information on the current position combined with
independent navigation and satellite navigation and matches it to the
shape of the road to create the correction.
However, as it cannot avoid the error margins at the current position,
the current position may shift away from the actual position even when
correcting using map matching.
Also, the vehicle marker may shift if the map data and the shape of the
road being driven on differ.
NOTE
Because it takes a short time for operations to stabilize just after turning on the
unit, the vehicle mark may not immediately match the vehicle as it moves. After
driving for a while, operations stabilize, and the marker should match the actual
driving position.
Regarding the Accuracy of the Current Position
and Route Navigation
As in the following images, an accurate display of the current position
or route navigation may not be provided, however this is not an
indication of a malfunction in the unit, but is due to road conditions or
driving conditions.
Actual Vehicle Swept Path
Vehicle swept path acquired from each sensor
Corrected using map matching on the screen
• Shows the current position on roads
running in parallel.• Shows the current position on the
other road when there is a narrow
fork in the road.
• Shows the current position on the
road ahead or behind when turning
right or left.• Shows the current position when
traveling up a steep hill.

Further Information
Regarding Roads and Place Name Data
Because road and place names may change after the map data has
been created, there may be times when road and place names do not
match.
When no information is available in the map data, function such as
display of road names, searching for facilities, and route guidance
cannot be used.
When maps are created, land surveys are conducted and information
about roads improvement and opening is collected to provide the
most accurate information possible. However, modifications in roads,
place names and facilities may be carried out at any time.
Consequently, we cannot guarantee that map data contains no errors
in road positions, configuration and names, or in facility names.
The navigation system includes a function to read out names of roads,
intersections, and so on during guidance.
Depending on the selected language, names read out by the system
may not be exactly accurate due to missing information in map data.
Regarding Route Navigation
• It may deviate from the route
navigation when there is a turn at an
intersection etc., and a mistake in the
voice navigation.• When searching for the route, it may
take the long way around.
• The route may need you to make a
U-urn during navigation.• When driving on a straight road,
information may be displayed
indicating that you should go
straight ahead. ( When the
intersection shape is not clear and so
on.)

Further Information
•Performing a new search while traveling at high speeds may take
some time.
•The route may not change even after performing another search.
•When isolated locations or roads with no surrounding available
information are set as the current position/destination, you may not
be able to search for a route.
•A route may not be displayed when the current position is close to
the destination.
•Even if you select toll roads as a priority, the route may not guide you
through a toll road.
In a similar way, toll roads may be displayed even if you prioritize
other roads over toll roads.
( When it is possible to select a toll road or a normal road to create
the route, priority is given to the user's toll road preference - use toll
roads, or avoid toll roads.)
• The navigation may not indicate that
the road curves at an intersection.• The navigation may guide you back
to a waypoint if you search for the
route again after passing the
waypoint and are heading to your
destination.
• Many place names may be displayed
when navigating a district.• Always drive by following the actual
traffic regulations.
• When searching for a route, it may not be displayed quick enough for the next
left or right turn.

Precautions When Using the System
WA R N I N G
Read this manual first
Read this manual carefully before using the audio and visual
system. We are not liable for accidents or other problems
resulting from failure to follow the instructions in this
manual.
Avoid operating the audio and visual system while driving
You should stop the vehicle in a safe place before operating
the audio and visual system. For safety, some of the audio
and visual system's functions cannot be used unless the
vehicle is stopped.
If you stare at the display too much or operate the buttons of
the system while driving, the audio and visual system could
distract your attention from the current traffic conditions. Be
sure to enter as much information as possible into the
system before departing. Also, be sure to stop your vehicle
in a safe place if you need to enter information.
The touch button on the display screen that cannot be used
have their colors toned down. Buttons on the touch screen
that cannot be used have their colors toned down.
Operating the audio and visual system while driving could
cause your attention to be distracted from the current traffic
conditions. This could result in a severe or fatal accident. Follow
the descriptions of all operations and the instructions for
safety given in this manual without fail.
Look at the audio and visual system screen only when
necessary
When you need to look at the audio and visual system
screen, do so for the shortest time possible. Looking away
from the road for too long could lead to an accident.
Keep the volume low enough for you to hear outside sounds
Keep the system's volume level low enough for you to be
able to hear outside sounds while driving. Otherwise, you
may not be able to react appropriately to traffic conditions,
resulting in an accident.

About the audio and visual system
•Subjecting the control buttons or liquid crystal display to excessive
shock could result in audio and visual screen deformation or other
damage.
•Keep any heat source (including lighted cigarettes) away from the
audio and visual system. If a heat source is brought into contact with
the audio and visual system cabinet or panel, they could be
deformed or otherwise degraded.
•In extreme cold, the audio and visual screen may operate sluggishly
and the display may dim. Such conditions do not indicate a problem.
They will disappear when the temperature inside the vehicle rises to
a normal temperature.
•Tiny black and white dots may occasionally appear on the liquid
crystal display. These dots are a normal characteristic of the display.
They do not indicate a problem.
•When the audio and visual screen requires cleaning, gently wipe it
with a silicone cloth or other soft cloth. If necessary, spray the cloth
with neutral cleaning fluid. Be sure to wipe away any cleaning fluid
left on the audio and visual screen. Do not spray the cleaning fluid
directly onto the audio and visual screen. Spraying cleaning fluid
directly onto the audio and visual screen could cause an adverse
effect on internal components. It is also not recommended to wipe
the audio and visual screen with a stiff cloth or attempt to clean it
using thinners, alcohol, or any other volatile solvent. Doing so could
leave scratches or erase the control button labels. CAUTION
Never disassemble or modify the audio and visual system
