Intersection guidance
Voice Guidance

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times to arrive at your destination due to out-of-date information on a map disc.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.

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.

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.
Warnings

The system vocally announces the distance to an upcoming highway
branching point or junction.
aThis guidance function can be set in the [Setup menu]. For details, see page 32.

The mobile navigation system calculates and indicates the vehicle position on the map by
multiplying the speed pulse emitted by the vehicle with a correction coefficient.
The speed pulse emitted varies with the type of vehicle and with differences in tire
pressure and wear.
A different correction coefficient might even be required for the same type of vehicle.

Using a spare tire in place of the regular one may cause vehicle position deviations.
