matically corrects the vehicle icon posi-
tion when it is misaligned from the actual
position.
. Vehicle position correction by GPS may
not function when the vehicle is stopped.
. If the vehicle icon position does not
return to normal even after driving for a
while, correct the vehicle icon position

Detailed Map Coverage Areas
(MCA) for navigation system
This system is designed to help guiding to
the destination, and it also performs other
functions as outlined in this manual. How-
ever, the system must be used safely and
properly. Information concerning road con-
ditions, traffic signs and the availability of
services may not always be up-to-date. The system is not a substitute for safe, proper
and legal driving.
Map data covers select metropolitan areas.
Map data includes two types of areas:
“Detailed coverage areas” providing all de-
tailed road data and other areas showing
“Main roads only”.
INFO:
Detailed map data is not available in many
areas and is generally limited to select major
metropolitan areas.
ROUTE GUIDANCE
INFO:
. The system will announce street names
when the system language is set to
English. Street names are not announced
when the system is set to French or
Spanish.
Repeating voice guidance
This function is available throughout route
guidance, from the time after the route
calculation is completed until the vehicle
arrives at the destination. Push and hold
6. Navigation (if so equipped)
Voice guidance will be repeated.
Notes on voice guidance
.Voice guidance in this system should be
regarded as a supplementary function.
When driving the vehicle, check the route
on the map and follow the actual roads
and traffic regulations.
. Voice guidance is activated only for
intersections with certain conditions.
There may be cases where the vehicle
has to turn, but voice guidance is not
provided.
. Voice guidance contents may vary, de-
pending on the direction of the turn and
the type of intersection.
. The voice guidance timing will vary
depending on the situation.
. When the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route, voice guidance is not
available. The system will not announce
this. Refer to the map and recalculate the
route.
“Recalculating route” (page 6-36)
. Voice guidance may not accurately cor-
respond with road numbers and direc-
tions at freeway junctions. .
Voice guidance may not accurately cor-
respond to street names at freeway
exits.
. The displayed street names may some-
times differ from the actual names.
. Voice guidance is not available when the
[Guidance Voice] is turned off.
“Volume and Beeps settings”
(page 2-32)
. Voice guidance will start when the
vehicle enters the suggested route. Refer
to the map for directions to the starting
point of the route.
. When approaching a waypoint, voice
guidance will announce, “You have ar-
rived at waypoint 1 (2, 3, 4,...).” Voice
guidance will switch to the next section
of the route. When voice guidance is not
available, refer to the map for directions.
. In some cases, voice guidance ends
before arrival at the destination. Refer
to the destination icon on the map to
reach the destination.
. If the system recognizes on which side
the destination (waypoint) is located,
voice guidance will announce “on the
right/left” after announcing the arrival at the destination.
. Voice guidance may be partially opera-
tional or inoperative due to the angle of
roads at an intersection.
. Because freeway lane information is
available only for approximately 7,000
major freeways in North America, it is
not possible to display information for all
junctions and exits.
. Freeway exit information may differ
from the information on the actual exit
signs.
. Because it is not possible to consider
data concerning roads that are season-
ally available or unavailable, a route may
be displayed that does not match the
actual traffic restrictions. Be sure to
follow the actual traffic restrictions
while driving.
. Canada and Alaska contain many roads
with incomplete map data. As a result,
when searching for a route, the route
may include roads with incomplete data.
In regions where road data is not
complete, voice guidance may stop for
long periods of time. Be sure to follow
the actual traffic restrictions while driv-
ing.
