Quick Reference GuideTroubleshootingFor more Information (P123)
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 di fferences 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 is the likely 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 .
Check that  Voice Prompts  is not set to off.
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 destinat ion 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 wh en using the navigation voice control 
system:
• Make sure the correct screen is displa yed for the voice command that you are 
using.
The system recognizes  only certain commands.
Available navigation commands:
2 Navigation Commands  P. 138
• Close the windows and moonroof.
• 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) butt on again to bypass this 
prompt and give a command.
