Precautions/System Performance
Voice guidance has the following functions:
nIntersection guidance
l
The system voice announces the distance to an upcoming turn and the turning direction.
This guidance function is automatic. Therefore, you do not have to set it, and it cannot be 
disabled.
l The system vocally announces the distance to an upcoming highway branching point or 
intersection.
Voice Guidance
l The navigation system is just a support system for the driver. The driver should 
always pay attention to the traffic situation to safely make decisions. You may 
be unable at times to arrive at your destination due to out-of-date information 
on a map disc. You should be especially careful when selecting an urgent 
destination such as a hospital or a police station.
l Your route may sometimes include roads that are not open to vehicles or are 
closed due to traffic regulations. Please comply with the local traffic 
regulations.
l Do not change the settings and destination locations while driving. Minimize 
the time spent viewing the monitor screen and listening to the voice guidance 
while driving. Operating the system will distract the driver from looking ahead 
of the vehicle and may cause an accident. Always stop the vehicle in a safe 
location and use the parking brake before operating the system.
When two intersections are close together, the 
voice guidance may be late. When two roundabouts are close together, the 
voice guidance for the second may be late.

Audio Operation
Flutter/Skip noise
Signals from an FM transmitter move in 
straight lines and become weak in valleys 
between tall buildings, mountains, and other 
obstacles. When a vehicle passes through 
such an area, the reception conditions may 
change suddenly, resulting in annoying 
noise.
Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast signals 
become weak because of distance from the 
transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas is 
characterized by sound breakup.Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a transmitter tower. 
The broadcast signals are extremely strong, 
so the result is noise and sound breakup at 
the radio receiver.
Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area of two 
strong stations broadcasting at similar fre-
quencies, the original station may be tempo-
rarily lost and the second station picked up. 
At this time there will be some noise from 
this disturbance.

nOperating Tips for In-Dash CD 
Changer
Condensation phenomenon
Immediately after turning on the heater 
when the vehicle is cold, the CD or optical 
components (prism and lens) in the In-dash 
CD changer may become clouded with 
condensation. At this time, the CD will eject 
immediately when placed in the unit. A 
clouded CD can be corrected simply by 
wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded optical 
components will clear naturally in about an 
hour. Wait for normal operation to return 
before attempting to use the unit.
Handling the In-dash CD changer
The following precautions should be 
observed.
l
Do not spill any liquid on the audio system.
l Do not insert any objects, other than CDs, 
into the slot.
l The CD revolves at high speed within the 
unit. Defective (cracked or badly bent) CDs 
should never be used. l
Do not use non-conventional discs such as 
heart-shaped, octagonal discs, etc. The 
disc may not eject resulting in a 
malfunction.
l If the memory portion of the CD is 
transparent or translucent, do not use the 
disc.
l A new CD may have rough edges on its 
inner and outer perimeters. If a disc with 
rough edges is used, proper setting will not 
be possible and the In-dash CD changer 
will not play the CD. In addition, the disc 
may not eject resulting in a malfunction.
Remove the rough edges in advance by 
using a ball-point pen or pencil as shown 
below. To remove the rough edges, rub the 
side of the pen or pencil against the inner 
and outer perimeter of the CD.
l When driving over uneven surfaces, 
the sound may jump.

Audio Operation
lUse discs that have been legitimately 
produced. If illegally-copied discs such as 
pirated discs are used, the system may not 
operate properly.
l Be sure never to touch the signal surface 
when handling the CDs. Pick up a CD by 
grasping the outer edge or the edge of the 
hole and the outer edge.
l Do not stick paper or tape on the CD. 
Avoid scratching the reverse side (the side 
without a label). The disc may not eject 
resulting in a malfunction.
l Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can 
decrease the amount of light reflected from 
the signal surface, thus affecting sound 
quality. If the CD should become soiled, 
gently wipe it with a soft cloth from the 
center of the CD to the edge.
l Do not use record sprays, antistatic 
agents, or household spray cleaners. 
Volatile chemicals such as benzine and 
thinner can also damage the surface of the 
CD and must not be used. Anything that 
can damage, warp, or fog plastic should 
never be used to clean CDs.
l Insert discs one by one. If two discs are 
inserted at the same time, the system may 
not operate properly.
l The In-dash CD changer ejects the CD if 
the CD is inserted upside down. Also dirty 
and/or defective CDs may be ejected.
l Do not insert any disc with a peel-off seal 
affixed to it. Handling the In-dash CD changer
l
This unit may not be able to play certain 
CD-R/CD-RWs made using a computer or 
music CD recorder due to disc 
characteristics, scratches, smudges, dirt, 
etc., or due to dust or condensation on the 
lens inside the unit.
l Storing CDs in the vehicle exposed to 
direct sunlight or high temperature may 
damage the CD-R/CD-RWs, and make 
them unplayable.
l CD-R/CD-RW exceeding 700 MB cannot 
be played.
l This unit may not be able to play certain 
discs made using a computer due to the 
application (writing software) setting used. 
(For details, consult the store where the 
application was purchased.)
l It is possible that certain text data, such as 
titles, recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW may 
not be displayed when musical data (CD-
DA) is playing.
l The period from when a CD-RW is 
inserted to when it begins playing is longer 
than a normal CD or CD-R.
l Completely read the instruction manual 
and cautions for CD-R/CD-RWs.
l Do not use discs with cellophane tape 
adhering, partially peeled off labels, or 
adhesive material exuding from the edges 
of the CD label. Also, do not use discs with 
a commercially-available CD-R label 
affixed. The disc may not eject resulting in 
a malfunction.
