System Overview
Your navigation system is a highly
sophisticated location system with
voice control that uses satellites and a
map database to show you where you
are and to help guide you to a desired
destination.
The navigation system receives signals
from the global positioning system
(GPS), a network of 24 satellites in
orbit around the earth. By receiving
signals from several of these satellites,
the navigation system can determine the
latitude, longitude, and elevation of your
vehicle. In addition, a gyroscopic yaw
sensor and a vehicle speed sensor in
your vehicle keep track of the direction
and speed of travel at all times.
2010 TL

Introduction
Navigation System5
The navigation system applies location,
direction, and speed information to
the maps and calculates a route to the
destination you enter. As you drive to
that destination, the system provides
map and voice guidance.
The navigation system is easy to
use. The locations of many places of
business and entertainment are already
entered in the system. You can select
any of them as a destination by using
the Interface Dial or voice control.
There are several ways to enter a
destination, such as by point of interest
(POI), by address, by phone number,
and by selecting it from the map. The
last 50 destinations are saved for reuse
at a later date. The system also allows
you to store a home address to simplify
returning home from your destination. Accessories Precautions
If you have front or side window tinting
installed, be aware that if the tint has
metallic properties, it can seriously
degrade or prevent GPS reception. This
is because the GPS antenna is located
behind the navigation display in the
center of the dashboard.
If you plan to install electronic
components such as radar detectors,
vehicle tracking devices, remote
starters, additional amplifi ers, or other
audio components, ensure that they are
not located near the navigation display
in the center of the dashboard, or near
the GPS antenna behind the navigation
display. Signal noise emanating from
these devices can cause intermittent
disruption of the navigation system.
Important Safety Information
The navigation system can distract your
attention from the road if you focus
on the screen or operate the system’s
controls while driving.
Enter as much information as possible
into the system before you begin
driving, or when the vehicle is stopped.
Then, as you drive, listen to the audio
instructions and use voice commands
when possible.

Introduction
6 Navigation System
WAR N I N G
Using the navigation system
while driving can take your
attention away from the road,
causing a crash in which you
could be seriously injured or
killed.
Follow all operating instructions
and safety information in this
manual.
While driving, do not look at the screen
or operate the system controls for more
than a second or so at a time, and only
after deciding you can do so safely. Pull
to the side of the road if you need more
time to look at the screen or operate the
controls. The navigation system is designed to
provide route information to help you
reach your destination. However, this
route guidance may sometimes confl
ict
with current road conditions such as
street closures, road construction,
detours, and out-of-date map data.
Additionally, the system itself has
certain limitations (see page 124 ).
Therefore, you must verify the audio
and visual route information provided
by the system by carefully observing
the roadway, signs and signals, etc. If
you are unsure, proceed with caution.
Always use your own good judgment,
and obey traffi c laws while driving.
Map Overview

Current Street
The current street on which your vehicle
is located appears at the bottom of the
map screen (see page 20 ). A message
saying “Not on a digitized road” may
appear instead when you drive half a
mile away from a mapped road. For
more details, see O f f - r o a d T r a c k i n g on
page 69 .
Verifi ed/Unverifi ed Street
Your navigation system has two kinds
of streets: verifi ed (red, gray, and pink)
and unverifi ed (purple). The differences
between the two types of streets are
contrasted in the chart on page 7 .

V e r i fi ed streets Unverifi ed streets
When
displayed These roads are found within metropolitan areas, and
include interstate freeways and major roads connecting
cities. These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include
residential streets away from the center of a town.
Street color Shown as red (freeways), pink (state routes), or gray
(ver i fi
ed streets) on the daytime map screen. Shown on the daytime map
screen as purple.
Map quality The database vendor has verifi
ed these streets.
Information like turn restrictions, average speed, and
whether it is a one-way street have been gathered and used
when creating your route to a destination. These streets have not been verifi
ed by the database
vendor. The system does not contain information on one-
way streets, turn restrictions, or the road’s average speed.
They are shown on the map for reference and may have
errors in map location, naming, and address range.
Routing
differences While driving to your destination, the displayed route line
is solid blue. The system provides voice and map guidance
to your destination.
Your route line is either a purple dotted “vector line,” or
a dashed pink/blue line. For information on selecting this
option, and the routing differences, see
Unverifi ed Area
Routing on page 102 .
Cautions There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during
a route. However, because roads constantly change, you
are urged to use common sense, and always obey posted
traffi
c restrictions. Regardless of whether the user chooses route guidance,
there are cautionary screens before and during the route
urging the user to be extra cautious, and obey all traffi
c
restrictions. See Unverifi ed Area Routing on page 102 .
Guidance
voice Voice guidance issues instructions such as “In a half-mile,
make a right turn.”
The phrase “if possible” is added to each guidance
instruction. For example: “In a half-mile, make a right
turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go” The time and distance “to go,” displayed while en route to
a destination, is based on the average speed and distance
for the roads used for your route.
The time and distance “to go,” displayed while en route to
a destination, is based on the average speed and distance
for the roads used for your route.
