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.
Pressing the Navi switch in the steering switches repeats the guidance if the voice 
guidance has been missed.
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be unable at times to arrive at your destination due to out-of-date information 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.
