ABOUT VOICE GUIDANCE
WARNING
T o operate the navigation system or
to use the screen functions, first park
the vehicle in a safe place and set the
parking brake. Using the system
while driving can distract the driver
and may result in a serious accident.
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
The voice guidance will verbally tell you which
direction to turn when the vehicle approaches
the intersection in which you have to make a
turn to reach your destination.
NOTE:
Directional guidance provided by the
navigation system does not take carpool
lane driving into consideration, espe-
cially when carpool lanes are separatedfrom other road lanes.

There may be some cases in which
the voice guidance and the actual
road conditions do not correspond.
This may occur because of discrep-
ancies between the actual road and
the information on the DVD or due to
the vehicle’s speed.

In case the content of the voice guid-
ance does not match the actual road
conditions, follow the information
obtained from traffic signs or notices
on the road.
ADJUSTING THE GUIDE VOL-
UME
1. Press the SETTING button on the control
panel.
2. When turning on/off the voice guidance,
push the PUSH ENTER button. When the
Guidance Volume key is illuminated
with a green indicator , it is activated. When
turning up/down the voice guidance, touch
the
Louder orSofter key . The voice
will become louder/softer .

NOTES ON THE VOICE
GUIDANCE

The voice guidance in this system should
be regarded as a supplementary function.
When driving your vehicle, check the route
on the map display and follow the actual
road and all traffic regulations.

The voice guidance is activated only forjunctions with certain conditions. In some
cases you may need to turn, even if there
is no voice guidance.

The content of the voice guidance may vary ,
depending on the direction of the turn and
the type of junction with other roads.

The route guidance will be activated at vari-
ous times depending on the situation.

When the vehicle is off the suggested route,
route guidance is not available. The system
will not inform you of this; please refer to
the map display and request rerouting.

At freeway junctions, the road numbers and
directions may not accurately correspond
with the voice guidance.

At freeway exits, the street names may not
accurately correspond with the voice guid-
ance.

The displayed street names may sometimes
differ from the actual names or “UNKNOWNSTREET NAME” may be displayed.
Please refer to “Automatic re-routing” on page
9-2.

When the green indicator on the
Guidance Volume key is not illuminated,
the voice guidance is not available.

The voice guidance will start when the ve-
hicle enters the suggested route. Before en-
tering the route, refer to the map display for
the direction.

When the vehicle approaches a waypoint,
the voice will say , “Y ou have arrived at
waypoint 1 (2, 3, 4,...).” The guidance will
switch to the next route section. While the
voice guidance is not available, please refer
to the map display for the direction.

When the vehicle approaches a destination,

In some cases, the voice guidance ends be-
fore arrival at the destination. In such cases,
drive the vehicle by referring to the desti-
nation icon displayed on the map screen.

When the system can judge on which side
the destination (waypoint) is located, the
voice guidance will say “on the right” after
announcing the arrival at the destination.

Voice guidance may not operate as speci-
fied or may not operate at all due to the
angle of roads at intersection entrances and
exits.
