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, but most of the audible instructions and voice commands continue to funct ion. Pull to the side of the road
if you need to devote more atte ntion 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Route guidance may conflict with street closures, road construction, detours, and out-of-date map data.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. 2

As you approach each guidance point, a pop-up window is displayed on the map
screen with instructions for you to follow. Voice guidance for each guidance point is
also provided.
Typically, you hear three prompts:
• 1/2 mile (800 m) from the guidance point (2 miles (3 km) on freeway)
• 1/4 mile (400 m) from the guidance point (1 mile (1.5 km) on freeway)
• Just before the guidance point
To replay voice guidance, select Voice in the Map Menu.
If you select Voice between guidance points, voice guidance for the next guidance
point is provided.1Listening to Voice Guidance

guidance information.
•The vehicle is out of the road (e.g., pulling in a
parking lot).
The timing of voice guidance varies depending on the
type of road you are on and the distance to the next
guidance point.

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
• Cell 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, freeway overpasses,
tunnels, or overhead electrical power
wires
GPS is operated by the U.S. Department of
Defense. For security reasons, there are
certain inaccuracies built into GPS for which
the navigation system must constantly
compensate. This can cause occasional positioning errors of up to several hundred
feet.
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 addresses 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, and
other public institutions. Do not rely on the
navigation system if you need law
enforcement or hospital services. Always
check with local information sources.

Reference Information
laws you are responsible to know and
follow. Even occasional short scans of the
screen may be hazardous if your attention
has been diverted away from your driving at
a critical time. Pull over and stop the vehicle
in a safe and legal manner before
attempting to access a function of the
system requiring prolonged attention. Do
not raise the volume excessively. Keep the
volume at a level where you can still hear
outside traffic and emergency signals while
driving. Driving while unable to hear these
sounds could result in a crash.
