The Navigation System is one of the most technologically advanced vehicle accesso-
ries ever developed. The system receives satellite signals from the Global Positioning
System (GPS) operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. Using these signals and
other vehicle sensors, the system indicates your present position and assists in locating
a desired destination.
The navigation system is designed to select efficient routes from your present starting
location to your destination. The system is also designed to direct you to a destination
that is unfamiliar to you in an efficient manner. Map database is made based on AISIN
AW maps, whose information source comes from NAVTEQ maps. The calculated
routes may not be the shortest nor the least traffic congested. Your own personal local
knowledge or “short cut” may at times be faster than the calculated routes.
The navigation system’s database includes Point of Interest categories to allow you to
easily select destinations such as restaurants and hotels. If a destination is not in the da-
tabase, you can enter the street address or a major intersection close to it and the sys-
tem will guide you there.
The system will provide both a visual map an d audio instructions. The audio instructions
will announce the distance remaining and the direction to turn when approaching an
intersection. These voice instructions will help you keep your eyes on the road and are
timed to provide enough time to allow you to maneuver, change lanes or slow down.
Please be aware that all current vehicle navigation systems have certain limitations that
may affect their ability to perform properly. The accuracy of the vehicle’s position de-
pends on satellite conditions, road configuration, vehicle condition or other circum-
stances. For more information on the limitations of the system, refer to page 186.

6. TIPS FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
1. GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense provides an accurate
current position, normally using 4 or more
satellites, and in some case 3 satellites. The
GPS system has a certain level of inaccura-
cy. While the navigation system compen-
sates for this most of the time, occasional
positioning errors of up to 100 yd. (100 m)
can and should be expected. Generally, po-
sition errors will be corrected within a few
seconds.When the vehicle is receiving signals from
satellites, the “GPS” mark appears at the
top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically obstruct-
ed, leading to inaccurate vehicle position on
the map screen. Tunnels, tall buildings,
trucks, or even the placement 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 system is receiv-
ing clear GPS signals, the vehicle position
may not be shown accurately or inappropri-
ate route guidance may occur in some cas-
es.
LIMITATIONS OF THE
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This navigation system calculates the
current position using satellite signals,
various vehicle signals, map data, etc.
However, an accurate position may not
be shown depending on satellite condi-
tions, road configuration, vehicle condi-
tion or other circumstances.
NOTICE
●The installation of window tinting may
obstruct the GPS signals. Most window
tinting contains some metallic content
that will interfere with GPS signal recep-
tion of the antenna in the instrument
panel. We advise against the use of win-
dow tinting on vehicles equipped with
navigation systems.

•Press to select a media mode.
• While in a media mode, pressing the “MEDIA” button changes media modes.
CAUTION
●Conversational speech on some DVDs is recorded at a low volume to emphasize the
impact of sound effects. If you adjust the volume assuming that the conversations represent
the maximum volume level that the DVD will play, you may be startled by louder sound
effects or when you change to a different au dio source. The louder sounds may have a sig-
nificant impact on the human body or pose a driving hazard. Keep this in mind when you
adjust the volume.
INFORMATION
●
According to the DVD disc, some menu items can be selected directly. (For details, see the
manual that comes with the DVD disc provided separately.)
●If appears on the screen when a control is selected, the operation relevant to the control

zHandle discs carefully, especially when
inserting them. Hold them on the edge and
do not bend them. Avoid getting finger-
prints on them, particularly on the shiny
side.
z Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes or other
disc damage could cause the player to skip
or to repeat a section of a track. (To see a
pin hole, hold the disc up to the light.)
z Remove discs from the players when not in
use. Store them in their plastic cases away
from moisture, heat and direct sunlight.To c l e a n a d i s c : Wipe it with a soft, lint-free
cloth that has been dampened with water.
Wipe in a straight line from the centre to the
edge of the disc (not in circles). Dry it with
another soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use a
conventional record cleaner or anti-static
device.
z CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been
subject to the “finalizing process” (a pro-
cess that allows discs to be played on a
conventional CD player) cannot be played.
z It may not be possible to play CD-R/CD-
RW discs recorded on a music CD
recorder or a personal computer because
of disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on
the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the
lens of the unit.
z It may not be possible to play discs
recorded on a personal computer depend-
ing on the application settings and the envi-
ronment. Record with the correct format.
(For details, contact the appropriate appli-
cation manufacturers of the applications.)

DVD video discs: Digital Versatile Disc that
holds video. DVD video discs have adopted
“MPEG2”, one of the world standards of
digital compression technologies. The pic-
ture data is compressed by 1/40 on aver-
age and stored. Variable rate encoded
technology in which the volume of data as-
signed to the picture is changed depending
on the picture format has also been adopt-
ed. Audio data is stored using PCM and
Dolby Digital, which enables higher quality
of sound. Furthermore, multi-angle and
multi-language features will also help users
enjoy the more advanced technology of
DVD video.
Viewer restrictions : This feature limits what
can be viewed in conformity with a level of
restrictions of the country. The level of re-
strictions varies depending on the DVD vid-
eo disc. Some DVD video discs cannot be
played at all, or violent scenes are skipped
or replaced with other scenes.
• Level 1: DVD video discs for children can be played.
• Level 2 - 7: DVD video discs for children and G-rated movie can be played.
• Level 8: All types of the DVD video discs can be played.
Multi-angle feature : The same scene can
be enjoyed from different angles.
Multi-language feature : The subtitle and
audio language can be selected.
Region codes : The region codes are pro-
vided on DVD players and DVD discs. If the
DVD video disc does not have the same re-
gion code as the DVD player, you cannot
play the disc on the DVD player. For region
codes: ( →P.273)
Audio : This DVD player can play liner
PCM, Dolby Digital and MPEG audio for-
mat DVDs. Other decoded types cannot be
played.
Tit le and cha pter : Video and audio pro-
grams stored in DVD video discs are divid-
ed into parts by title and chapter.
Tit le : The largest unit of the video and audio
programs stored on DVD video discs. Usu-
ally, one movie, one album, or one audio
program is assigned as a title.
Chapter : A unit smaller than that of title. A
title comprises of several chapters.DVD VIDEO DISC GLOSSARY
