Accessories Precautions
The GPS antenna is located in the dashboard . Metallic front or side window tinting can seriously degrade or obstruct GPS recept ion.
Signal noise from devices such as radar detectors, vehicle tracking devices, remote starters, and  additional amplifiers can disrupt the navigation system. If you 
install any such item, install it away from the navigation display and antenna.
Important Safety Information
Avoid focusing on the screen or manually operating the system controls while driving.
Certain on-screen controls are disabled when driving, however most  of the voice commands continue to function. Pull to the side of the road if you need to devote 
more attention and time to look at  the screen or access additional menus.
Route guidance may conflict with street closures, road construction, detours, and out-of-date map data.
The system itself may also have limitations. Verify route information by carefully observing roads, signs, and signals. Always  use your own judgment and obey 
traffic laws.

could be seriously injured or killed.
Only operate system controls when the conditions permit you 
to safely do so.

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 uses the   (Tal k) and   (Hang-Up/Back) buttons on the 
steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.
For details of the   (Talk) button,    (Hang-Up/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.
• Close the windows.
• 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.
1 Voice Recognition
The voice control system can only be used from the 
driver’s seat because  the microphone unit removes 
noises from the passenger’s side.

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  stations, hospitals, 
Hydrogen stations, Gas stations 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.
