The Navigation System is one of the most technologically advanced vehicle ac-
cessories ever developed. The system receives satellite signals from the Global 
Positioning System (GPS) operated by  the U.S. Depa
rtment of Defense. Using 
these signals and other vehicle sensors, the system indicates your present po -
sition and assists in locating a desired destination.
The navigation system is designed to select efficient routes from your present  
starting location to your destination. The  s
ystem is also designed to direct you 
to a destination that is unfamiliar to you in an efficient manner. Map database is  
made based on AISIN AW maps, whose information source comes from HERE  
maps. The calculated routes may not be the shortest nor the least traffic con -
gested. Your own personal local knowledge or “short cut” may at times be faster  
than the calculated routes.
The navigation system’s database includes Point of Interest categories to allow  
you to easily  select destinations such as restaurants and ho
tels. If a destination 
is not in the database, you can enter the street address or a major intersection  
close to it and the system will guide you there.
The system will provide both a visual map and audio instructions. The audio in -
structions will announce the distance remaining and the direction to turn in when  
approaching a n intersection. The
se voice instructions will help you keep your  
eyes on the road and are timed to provide enough time to allow you to maneu-
ver, change lanes or slow down.
Please be aware that all current vehicle navigation systems have certain limita -
tions that may affect their ability to perform properly. The accuracy of the vehi -
cle’s position depends on satellite conditions, road configuration, vehicle  
condition or othe r circumstances. For more information 
on the limitations of the 
system, refer to page  251.

AUTOMATIC PLAYBACK OF 
THE CACHE
 If the radio broadcast is interrupted by  
another audio output, such as an  
incoming phone call, the system will 
automatically cache the interrupted  
portion and perform time-shift  
playback when the interruption ends.  
To manually operate the cache  
operation: ( →P.81)
INFORMATION
●The system can store up to 20 minutes.  
Cached data will be erased when the  
radio mode or station is changed or  
when the audio system is turned off. 
● If noise or silence occurs during the  
caching process, cache writing will con-
tinue, with the noise or silence recorded  
as is. In this case, the cached broadcast  
will contain the noise or silence when  
played back.
This audio system is equipped with Ra-
dio Broadcast Data Systems (RBDS).  
RBDS mode allows text messages to  
be received from radio stations that uti-
lize RBDS transmitters.
When RBDS is on, the radio can  
— only select stations of a particular  
program type, 
— display messages from radio sta-
tions, 
— search for a stronger signal station.
RBDS features are available only  
when listening to an FM station that  
broadcasts RBDS information and the  
“FM Info”  indicator is on.
