Quick Reference GuideTroubleshootingFor more Information (P125)
Why does the vehicle position icon on the map appear
slightly off my actual position, especially at intersections?
This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the
width of intersections. Large differences in vehicle position
can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.
Why does the “Arrival time” display sometimes increase
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.
Why does my clock frequently change the time forward
and backward by one hour?
The clock setting is automatically updated based on your
GPS location. If you are driving near a time zone border,
the automatic update likely is the reason.
How do I turn on the navigation system voice guidance?
1.Press the (Home) icon.
Select Settings > System > Sound/Beep tab.
Turn up Guidance Volume, if guidance volume is low.
2.Select and then press the (Back) icon. Select
Settings > Navigation and enable Voice Prompts.
For more details, see the Owner’s Manual.
How do I specify a destination when an entered city or
street could not be found?
Try selecting the destination directly from the map.

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 (Talk) 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 when using the navigation voice control
system:
• Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command that you are
using. The system recognizes only certain commands.
Available navigation commands:
2Voice Commands P. 140
• 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) button again to bypass this
prompt and give a command.
1Voice 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.
