 Inappropriate route guidance
may occur in the following
cases:

• When turning at an intersection for which there is no route guid-
ance.
• When passing through an inter- section for which there is no route
guidance.
• During auto rer oute, the route
guidance may not be available for
the next turn to t he right or left.

1684-6. Tips for operating the audio/visual system
HIGHLANDER_HIGHLANDER HV_NAVI_(U)
Station interference: When a
reflected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio
station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere
with each other, making it diffi-
cult to hear the broadcast.
Static: AM is easily affected by
external sources of electrical
noise, such as high tension
power lines, lightening or electri-
cal motors. This results in static.
■SiriusXM
 Cargo loaded on the roof lug-
gage carrier, especially metal
objects, may adversely affect
the reception of SiriusXM Sat-
ellite Radio.
 Alternation or modifications
carried out without appropri-
ate authorization may invali-
date the user’s right to
operate the equipment.
