System Setup
Voice Control System
Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of the
navigation system functions.
The voice control system us es the (Talk) and (Bac k) buttons on the steering
wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.
For details of the (Talk) button, (Back) button and microphone position, see
the Owner's Manual.
Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition wh en using the navigation voice control
system:
• Make sure the correct screen is displa yed for the voice command that you are
using. The system recogniz es only certain commands.
Available navigation commands:
2 Voice Commands P. 118
• Close the windows and moonroof*.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow onto the microphone on the ceiling.
• Speak in a clear, natural speaking voice without pausing between words.
• Reduce any background noise if possible. The system may misinterpret your
command if more than one person is speaking at the same time.
1Voice Control System
When you press the (Talk) button, the system
prompts you to say a voice command. Press and
release the (Talk) butt on again to bypass this
prompt and give a command.

Guidance, Routing
ProblemSolution
The navigation system does not route me the same
way I would go or the same way as other mapping
systems.The navigation system attempts to generate the optimal route. You can change the
route preferences used wh en calculating a route.
2Calculation Mode P. 41
The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road. ●Check that the GPS antenna (located in the dashboard) is not blocked. For best
reception, remove items from the dashboar d, such as radar detectors, cellular
phones, or loose articles.
●Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with GPS reception.
Please consult your dealer.
2 GPS P. 106
How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive
along?1.Press the (Map) button.
2. Select > Settings > Map and Vehicle > Driving Map View .
3. Check that Driving Map View is set to Track Up or 3D.
4. Select North Up and then select Save.
The “Arrival time” displa y sometimes increases
even though I am getting closer to my destination.The “Arrival time” is based on the speed limit on each road. Depending on the
traffic conditions, the “Arrival time” may be calculated to be earlier or later.
My elevation (shown when I display the current
position) seems to fluc tuate even though my
elevation has not changed.This is normal. The elevation can vary ±100 ft (30 m) due to GPS calculation errors.
2 GPS P. 106
My elevation is missing on the “current position”
screen.The elevation is only displayed if the GP S antenna can receive signals from at least
four satellites. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. The elevation is also not
displayed if the calculated elevation is zero or below sea level.

Reference Information
System Limitations
GPS
The signals received from GPS satellites are
extremely weak (less than a millionth of the
strength of a local FM station) and require
an unobstructed view of the sky. The GPS
antenna is located in the dashboard. The
signal reception can easily be interrupted or
interfered with by the following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side windows
• Cellular phones, PDAs, or other electronic
devices docked in a cradle or lying loose
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle
tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devices mounted near
the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, highway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead electrical power
wires GPS is operated by the U.S. Department of
Defense. For security
reasons, there are
certain inaccuracies bu ilt into GPS for which
the navigation system must constantly
compensate. This can cause occasional
positioning errors of up to several hundred
feet (meters).
Address Calculation
The destination icon shows only the
approximate location of a destination
address. This occurs if the number of
possible addresses is different from the
number of actual addr esses on a block. For
example, the address 1425 on a 1400 block
with 100 possible addresses (because it is
followed by the 1500 block) will be shown a
quarter of the way down the block by the
system. If there are only 25 actual addresses
on the block, the actual location of address
1425 would be at the end of the block.
Database
The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various points
in time before production. Accordingly,
your database may contain inaccurate or
incomplete data or information due to the
passage of time, road construction,
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may
be missing when you search the database
because the name was misspelled, the place
was improperly categorized, or a place/
landmark is not yet in the database. This is
also true for police st ations, hospitals, and
other public institutions. Do not rely on the
navigation system if you need law
enforcement or hospital services. Always
check with local in formation sources.
