Precautions/System Performance
Voice guidance has the following functions:
nIntersection guidance
lThe 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 
junction.
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be unable at times to arrive at your destination due to out-of-date information 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.

GPS is a position detecting system utilizing the signals 
from GPS satellites deployed by the U.S. Department of 
Defense. The Mobile Navigation System uses input from 
three or more satellites and calculates the vehicle position 
based on the principle of triangulation. 
The positioning accuracy of the system corresponds to the 
error display of the GPS which is from about 30 to 200 meters.
l If you are using the system for the first time, or if you have not used it for some time, it takes 
about 5 minutes (or about 2 minutes in open areas) to calculate your vehicle’s position.
nGPS signal reception is poor in the following places
lThe GPS satellites are controlled by the U.S. Defense Department, which may intentionally 
lower positioning accuracy. In such cases, there may be vehicle position deviations.
l There may be vehicle position deviations for some time until GPS signals are received after 
turning on the ignition.
This function compares your vehicle’s tracking data with the road data on the map 
disc, applies dead reckoning to determine the road you are driving on, and displays 
your vehicle on that road on the map.
l Intelligent map matching addresses the following problems to achieve high accuracy in 
vehicle positioning.
Position Correction for Elevated RoadsPosition accuracy is improved by detecting if the vehicle is 
running on or under an elevated road.
Position Correction for Parking GaragesPosition accuracy is improved by detecting if the vehicle is 
driving in an elevated or underground parking garage.
High-precision GyrosensorA gyro detects turns with an accuracy of 0.05° per second. 
Combined with a speed sensor, it enables the system to 
display the current vehicle position even where GPS signals 
may be blocked.
l Using a spare tire in place of the regular one may cause vehicle position deviations.
l Any difference between the direction which your vehicle actually travels and that shown on 
the map is automatically eliminated by azimuth correction.

Precautions/System Performance
In the following situations, your vehicle position may not be displayed correctly on the 
map. But, as you keep driving, your vehicle position will be automatically corrected 
utilizing map matching and GPS data.
Although you may encounter the following problems in route guide, there is nothing 
wrong with the system.

Route Guide
For certain intersection shapes, 
the upcoming turn or the name of 
the intersection may not be 
announced. For certain intersection shapes, 
you may be prompted to turn right 
or left When you should actually 
stay on the same road. Voice guidance for the planned 
route may continue even after you 
have deviated from that route 
such as having turned too early.
Some points where the road 
divides on highways or toll roads 
may not be displayed or 
announced. The Intersection Zoom Map may 
not always agree with the actual 
shape of the intersection.
The announced distance to an 
upcoming turn may differ slightly 
from reality.
