3-5.Tips for operating the navigation system
The Global Positioning System
(GPS) developed and operated
by the U.S. Department of
Defense provides an accurate
current position, normally using
4 or more satellites, and in some
case 3 satellites. The GPS sys-
tem has a certain level of inac-
curacy. While the navigation
system compensates for this
most of the time, occasional
positioning errors of up to 300 ft.
(100 m) can and should be
expected. Generally, position
errors will be corrected within a
few seconds.
When the vehicle is not receiv-
ing signals from satellites, the
unreceived GPS mark appears
on the map screen. When the
vehicle is receiving the signals,
the unreceived GPS mark does not appear on the map screen.
The GPS signal may be physi-
cally obstructed, leading to inac-
curate vehicle position on the
map screen. Tunnels, tall build-
ings, trucks, or even the place-
ment of objects on the
instrument panel may obstruct
the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not
send signals due to repairs or
improvements being made to
them.
Even when the navigation sys-
tem is receiving clear GPS sig-
nals, the vehicle position may
not be shown accurately or inap-
propriate route guidance may
occur in some cases.
Accurate current position may
not be shown in the following
cases:
• When driving on a small angled
Y-shaped road.
• When driving on a winding road.
• When driving on a slippery road such as in sand, gravel, snow,
etc.
GPS (Global Position-
ing System)
This navigation system cal-
culates the current position
using satellite signals, vari-
ous vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However, an accu-
rate position may not be
shown depending on satel-
lite conditions, road config-
uration, vehicle condition or
other circumstances.
Limitations of the naviga-
tion system
NOTICE
●The installation of window tint-
ing may obstruct the GPS sig-
nals. Most window tinting
contains some metallic content
that will interf ere with GPS sig-
nal reception of the antenna in
the instrument panel. We advise
against the use of window tint-
ing on vehicles equipped with
navigation systems.

1604-6. Tips for operating the audio/visual system
■ID3 tag
This is a method of embed- ding track-related information
in an MP3 file. This embed-
ded information can include
the track number, track title,
the artist’s name, the album
title, the music genre, the year
of production, comments,
cover art and other data. The
contents can be freely edited
using software with ID3 tag
editing functions. Although
the tags are restricted to a
number of characters, the
information can be viewed
when the track is played back.
■WMA tag
WMA files can contain a
WMA tag that is used in the
same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA tags carry information
such as track title and artist
name.
■MP3
MP3 is an audio compression
standard determined by a
working group (MPEG) of the
ISO (International Standard
Organization). MP3 com-
presses audio data to about
1/10 the size of that on con-
ventional discs.
■WMA
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
is an audio compression for-
mat developed by Microsoft
®.
It compresses files into a size
smaller than that of MP3 files.

ognized if:
• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The roof or windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while voice commands are spoken.
• The fan speed of the air condition-
ing system is set at high.
• The air conditioning vents are turned towards the microphone.
●In the following c onditions, the
system may not recognize the
command properly and using
voice commands may not be pos-
sible:
• The command is incorrect or unclear. Note that certain words,
accents or speech patterns may
be difficult for the system to recog-
nize.
• There is excessive background
noise, such as wind noise.
●Normally, it is necessary to wait
for a beep before saying a com-
mand. To enable th e ability to talk
over prompts and say commands
before the beep, enable the voice
prompt interrupt function. ( P. 6 6 )
●This system may not operate
immediately after the power
switch is in ACC or ON.
Voice command sys-
tem
The voice command system
enables the radio, phone
dialing, etc. to be operated

1847-1. Rear view monitor system
■Cleaning the rear camera
with washer fluid
Dirt on the rear camera lens can
be cleaned by operating the
dedicated camera cleaning washer. For details, refer to
“OWNER’S MANUAL”.
When cleaning the camera, it
may be difficult to see the
image due to the washer fluid.
When backing up, be sure to
visually check all around the
vehicle both directly and using
the mirrors before proceed-
ing.
If washer fluid remains on the
camera lens surface after
cleaning, the image may be
difficult to see at night due to
the height or inclination of the
headlights of the vehicle
behind.
Some dirts may not be
removed completely after
cleaning. In this case, rinse
the camera lens with a large
quantity of water and then
wipe it clean with a soft cloth
dampened with water.
Washer fluid is sprayed onto
the camera lens surface.
Therefore, the ice, snow, etc.
adhering around the camera
cannot be removed.
NOTICE
●The rear view monitor system
may not operate properly in the
following cases.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting angle
of the camera may change.
• As the camera has a water proof construction, do not
detach, disassemble or modify
it. This may cause incorrect
operation.
• When cleaning the camera lens, flush the camera with a large
quantity of water and wipe it
with a soft and wet cloth.
Strongly rubbing the camera
lens may cause the camera lens
to be scratched and unable to
transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or a
glass coating to adhere to the
camera. If this happens, wipe it
off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rap- idly, such as when hot water is
poured on the vehicle in cold
weather, the system may not
operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of
water to the camera or camera
area. Doing so may result in the
camera malfunctioning.
●Do not expose the camera to
strong impact as this could
cause a malfunction. If this hap-
pens, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
NOTICE
●Do not strike or hit the washer
nozzle or subject it to a strong
impact, as the washer nozzle
installation position and angle
may be changed.
1987-2. Toyota parking assist monitor
The distance guide lines and
the vehicle width guide lines
may not actually be parallel
with the dividing lines of the
parking space, even when
they appear to be so. Be sure
to check visually.
The distances between the
vehicle width guide lines and
the left and right dividing lines
of the parking space may not
be equal, even when they
appear to be so. Be sure to
check visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road
surfaces. In any of the follow-
ing situations, there is a mar-
gin of error between the guide
lines on the screen and the
actual distance/course on the
road.
■When the ground behind
the vehicle slopes up
sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be closer to the vehi-
cle than the actual distance.
Because of this, objects will
appear to be farther away than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the guide lines
and the actual distance/course
on the road.
NOTICE
• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or a
glass coating to adhere to the
camera. If this happens, wipe it
off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rap- idly, such as when hot water is
poured on the vehicle in cold
weather, the system may not
operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of
water to the camera or camera
area. Doing so may result in the
camera malfunctioning.
●Do not expose the camera to
strong impact as this could
cause a malfunction. If this hap-
pens, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
