DETAILED MAP COVERAGE AREAS
(MCA) FOR THE NAVIGATION SYS-
TEM
This system is designed to help you reach your
destination, and it also performs other functions
as outlined in this manual. However, you, the
driver, must use the system safely and properly.
Information concerning road conditions, traffic
signs and the availability of services may not
always be up-to-date. The system is not a
substitute for safe, proper and legal driving. Map
data covers select metropolitan areas in the
United States.
Map data includes two types of areas: “Detailed
coverage areas” providing all detailed road data
and other areas showing “Main roads only”.
NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in many
areas and is generally limited to select
major metropolitan areas.
WHEN A GRAY ROAD IS DISPLAYED
ON THE MAP
.When you are driving on a road displayed in
gray after the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route during route guidance,automatic rerouting may not start immedi-
ately.
.The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in dark
green. Therefore, if the destination is set on
a road displayed in dark green, the enlarged
map display will return to the ordinary map
screen at some point on a suggested route
that is near the destination. Also, voice
guidance will stop at some point on a
suggested route that is near the destination.
.POI information and street names near
roads displayed in gray may not be con-
tained in the map data.
General system information10-7

Black plate (190,1)
Model "NAV2-N" EDITED: 2007/ 3/ 9
.There may be cases that carpool lanes are
included on a suggested route when the
automatic rerouting function is activated,
even if the “Use Time Restricted Roads” is
turned off.
“SETTING CONDITIONS FOR THE
ROUTE CALCULATION” (page 5-14)
.The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in dark
green.
.If the destination is set on a dark green road,
the enlarged map display will switch to the
ordinary map screen at some point and
suggest a route that is near the destination.
The distance and direction to the endpoint
of the suggested route will be displayed in
the lower right corner of the screen. Also, at
this time, voice guidance will announce,
“The route to your destination includes
roads through incomplete map areas. Voice
guidance will not be provided in these
areas”.
When approaching the endpoint of the
suggested route, voice guidance will an-
nounce, “Entering the road with incomplete
map data. Please use the direction arrow
and distance information to proceed to your
destination.”
To reach your destination, refer to the map
screen. Always follow actual roads andregulations and drive safely.
.The suggested route may not be the short-
est, nor are other circumstances such as
traffic jams considered.
.Because of the inevitable difference in road
conditions and circumstances between the
time you use this system and the time the
information was produced for the map data,
there may be discrepancies in roads and
regulations. In such cases, follow the actual
information available.
.During route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move
with the actual vehicle’s movement.
.During route calculation, buttons such as
<MAP>,<DEST>,<ZOOM OUT>and
<ZOOM IN>and the multi-function con-
troller will be disabled.
.In some cases, after the calculation is
complete, the calculated route may not be
immediately displayed.
.Waypoints that have been passed will be
disregarded by rerouting calculation.
.If you scroll the map while the suggested
route is being drawn, it may take more time
to finish drawing.
.If waypoints are set, the system calculates
multiple routes between waypoints simulta-
neously, and the following may result.— If one section between waypoints cannot
be calculated, none of the route will be
displayed.
— The route may not connect completely at
some waypoints.
— The route may require a U-turn close to
some waypoints.
.Route calculation may not be completed in
the following cases.
— If there is no main road within a range of
1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the vehicle, a
message saying so will appear on the
screen. Try recalculating when the vehi-
cle is closer to a main road.
— If there is no main road within a range of
1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the destination or
waypoint, a message saying so will
appear on the screen. Try setting the
location closer to a main road.
— If the vehicle is too close to the
destination or if there are no roads to
the destination, a message saying so will
appear on the screen.
— If it is impossible to reach the destination
or waypoints because of traffic regula-
tions, etc.
— If the only route to reach the destination
or waypoints is extremely complicated.
ROUTE CALCULATION
10-8General system information

Black plate (191,1)
Model "NAV2-N" EDITED: 2007/ 3/ 9
— If the destination, current vehicle position
or waypoint is within the “Avoid Area”.
— If a part of the route is included in the
“Avoid Area”.
.The following may occur when the route is
displayed.
— If you calculate a route on a main road,
the starting point of the route may not
exactly match the current vehicle loca-
tion.
— The endpoint of the route may not
exactly match the destination.
— If you calculate a route on a main road,
the system may display a route from
another main road. This may be because
the position of the vehicle icon is not
accurate. In this case, park the vehicle in
a safe location and reset the vehicle
icon, or continue driving to see if the
position of the vehicle icon is automati-
cally adjusted before recalculating the
route.
— There are cases in which the system
shows an indirect route to reach the
destination or waypoints, if you set them
from stored or facility information. In
order to correct this, you must be careful
about the traffic direction, especially
when lanes with different travel direc-tions are shown separately, such as
interchanges and service areas.
— This system makes no distinction be-
tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show an
indirect route even if the road is usable.
— Even if the freeway preference is set to
OFF, a route that uses the freeway may
be suggested.
— Even if the preference is set to OFF, a
route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.
— Ferry lines, excluding those that are only
for pedestrians, bicycles and motor-
cycles, are stored in this system. Take
into consideration the travel time re-
quired and operational condition before
deciding whether to use them or not.INFO:
The announcement of the street name during
route guidance is available only when English is
set as the language for the system. Street
names are not announced if French is set for the
system.
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
Voice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
NOTE:
.There may be some cases in which
voice guidance and actual road condi-
tions do not correspond. This may
occur because of discrepancies be-
tween the actual road and the informa-
tion on the map data, or it is due to the
vehicle’s speed.
.In case voice guidance does not corre-
spond to the actual road conditions,
follow the information obtained from
traffic signs or notices on the road.

when the automatic reroute function is off,
voice guidance will announce, “Proceed to
the highlighted route.”
.If you push<VOICE>when you are going
in the wrong direction, voice guidance will
announce: “Please make a legal U-turn if
possible.”
NOTES ON VOICE GUIDANCE
.Voice guidance in this system should be
regarded as a supplementary function.
When driving your vehicle, check the routeon the map and follow the actual roads and
traffic regulations.
.Voice guidance is activated only for inter-
sections with certain conditions. There may
be cases that the vehicle has to turn, but
voice guidance is not provided.
.Voice guidance contents may vary, depend-
ing on the direction of the turn and the type
of intersection.
.The voice guidance timing will vary depend-
ing on the situation.
.When the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route, voice guidance is not
available. The system will not announce this
to you. Refer to the map and recalculate the
route.
“RECALCULATE ROUTE”
(page 5-16)
.Voice guidance may not accurately corre-
spond with road numbers and directions at
freeway junctions.
.Voice guidance may not accurately corre-
spond to street names at freeway exits.
.The displayed street names may sometimes
differ from the actual names, or “UN-
KNOWN STREET NAME” may be dis-
played.
.Voice guidance is not available when the
[Guidance Voice] indicator is not illuminated..Voice guidance will start when the vehicle
enters the suggested route. Refer to the
map for directions to the starting point of the
route.
.When approaching a waypoint, voice gui-
dance will announce, “You have arrived at
waypoint 1 (2, 3, 4,...) .” Voice guidance will
switch to the next section of the route. When
voice guidance is not available, refer to the
map for directions.
.In some cases, voice guidance ends before
arrival at the destination. Refer to the
destination icon on the map to reach the
destination.
.If the system recognizes on which side the
destination (waypoint) is located, voice
guidance will announce “on the right/left”
after announcing the arrival at the destina-
tion.
.Voice guidance may be partially operational
or inoperative due to the angle of roads at an
intersection.
.Because freeway lane information is avail-
able only for approximately 7,000 major
freeways in North America, it is not possible
to display information for all junctions and
exits.
.Freeway exit information may differ from the
information on the actual exit signs.
10-12General system information

Black plate (195,1)
Model "NAV2-N" EDITED: 2007/ 3/ 9
.Because it is not possible to consider data
concerning roads that are seasonally avail-
able or unavailable, a route may be displayed
that does not match the actual traffic
restrictions. Be sure to follow the actual
traffic restrictions while driving.
.Canada and Alaska contain many roads with
incomplete map data. As a result, when
searching for a route, the route may include
roads with incomplete data. In regions
where road data is not complete, voice
guidance may stop for long periods of time.
Be sure to follow the actual traffic restric-
tions while driving..The XM®NavTrafficTMinformation service is
not provided for some cities. In addition, the
cities for which the traffic information service
is provided may be changed.
.In some cases, infrastructure problems may
prevent the complete display of the traffic
information. This is not a malfunction.
.Due to infrastructure problems, or due to the
time when the traffic information service
broadcast is received, the displayed infor-
mation may differ from the actual traffic
conditions.
.Depending on the traffic information, a
detour route may be slower than the original
route.
