Further Information
NOTE•Because the GPS satellite is in orbit around the earth, the reception status for
the electromagnetic waves changes depending on their position at that point
in time, even if your vehicle is in the same place. Also, electromagnetic-waves
from satellites near the horizon can be easily influenced by surrounding
obstacles.
•At times, satellites under the control of the US Department of Defence will
intentionally drop positioning accuracy.
Regarding Errors in Current Position Display
The system displays the vehicle current position based on GPS
information and data from various sensors and road maps. However,
when the radiowave signals from GPS satellites are weak or when
signals are received only from two satellites or less, errors may occur in
the position. Modifying or adjusting the system will not prevent these
errors.
• In underground buildings and indoor
parking lots• In places with a lot of overgrown
trees and so on
• Under elevated roads • Roads at the base of cliffs and caves

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.)
