TIPS FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING
SYSTEM)
REGARDING ERRORS IN CURRENT
POSITION DISPLAY
The system displays the vehicle current position based on
GPS information and data from various sensors and road
maps. However, when the radiowave signals from GPS
satellites are weak or when signals are received from only
two satellites or less, errors may occur in the position.
Modifying or adjusting the system will not prevent these
errors.
LIMITATIONS OF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This navigation system calculates the current position using
satellite signals, various vehicle signals, map data, etc.
However, an accurate position may not be shown depending

CAUTION
OThe installation of window tinting may obstruct the GPS
signals. Most window tinting contains some metallic content
that will interfere with GPS signal reception of the antenna in
the instrument panel. We advise against the use of window
tinting on vehicles equipped with navigation systems.

”Accurate current position may not be shown in the
following cases:
‡When driving on a small angled Y-shaped road.
‡When driving on a winding road.
‡When driving on a slippery road such as in sand,
gravel, snow, etc.
‡When driving on a long straight road.
‡When freeway and surface streets run in parallel.
‡After moving by ferry or vehicle carrier.
‡When a long route is searched during high speed
driving.
‡After repeating a change of direction by going
forward and backward, or turning on a turntable in
a parking lot.
‡When leaving a covered parking lot or parking
garage.‡When a roof carrier is installed.
‡When driving with tire chains installed.
‡When the tires are worn.
‡After replacing a tire or tires.
‡When using tires that are smaller or larger than the
IDFWRU\VSHFL¿FDWLRQV
‡When the tire pressure in any of the 4 tires is not
correct.

”Inappropriate route guidance may occur in the
following cases:
‡When turning at an intersection off the designated
route guidance.
‡If you set more than 1 destination but skip any of
them, auto reroute will display a route returning to
the destination on the previous route.
‡When turning at an intersection for which there is
no route guidance.
‡When passing through an intersection for which
there is no route guidance.
‡During auto reroute, the route guidance may not be
available for the next turn to the right or left.
‡During high speed driving, it may take a long time
for auto reroute to operate. In auto reroute, a detour
route may be shown.

‡After auto reroute, the route may not be changed.
‡If an unnecessary U-turn is shown or announced.
‡If a location has multiple names and the system
announces 1 or more of them.
‡When a route cannot be searched.
‡If the route to your destination includes gravel,
unpaved roads or alleys, the route guidance may
not be shown.
‡Your destination point might be shown on the
opposite side of the street.
‡When a portion of the route has regulations
prohibiting the entry of the vehicle that vary by time
or season or other reasons.
‡The road and map data stored in the navigation
system may not be complete or may not be the
latest version.

VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM
The voice recognition system enables the navigation,
audio, hands-free systems, etc. to be operated using voice
commands.
Refer to the command list for samples of voice commands.

USING THE VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM
STEERING SWITCH
Talk switch

”Press the talk switch to start the voice recognition
system.

”To cancel voice recognition, press and hold the talk
switch.
MICROPHONE
The microphone is built into the map light slits.

”It is unnecessary to speak directly into the
microphone when giving a command.

OVoice commands may not be recognized if:
‡Spoken too quickly.
‡Spoken at a low or high volume.
‡Driving with a window open.
‡Passengers are talking while voice commands are spoken.
‡The air conditioning speed is set high.
‡When air from the ventilator blows directly toward the
microphone.
OIn the following conditions, the system may not recognize the
command properly and using voice commands may not be
possible:
‡The command is incorrect or unclear. Note that certain words,

VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM OPERATION
1.Press the talk switch.

”After the voice recognition top screen has been
displayed, speech guidance will commence.
NOTE
OA caution display appears after pressing the talk switch while
an external device is connected and the stored data is being
read. Be sure to start the operation after the caution display
disappears.
OWhen the voice recognition mode is audio mode, voice guidance
for the voice recognition system can be skipped by pressing the
talk switch.
2.Say the command.

”Commands related with each function are displayed
on the screen of the each function tab. Some
commonly used commands are displayed on the
screen of the main tab. Even if any tab is selected, all
commands can be operated.

”Selecting
Help +HOS RU VD\LQJ“Help” prompts
voice guidance to offer examples of commands and
operation methods.

”To cancel voice recognition, select

NOTE
OWhile the recognition data is being created or being updated, a
track search cannot be performed using a voice command.
VOICE COMMAND EXAMPLE: CALL NAME
1.Press the talk switch.
2.Say“Call <contacts> <phone types>”.

”If multiple matching items are found, a selection
screen will be displayed. Say “<number>” or select
the number.
NOTE
OIn the same manner as it is displayed on the screen, “Call
<contacts> <phone types> (Call <contacts> <phone types>)”,
after saying “Call a contact” say the name, or the name and
type of phone, of a contact.
For example: “Call a contact”,“John Smith” or “Call a
contact”,“Mary Davis”,“Mobile”
OThere are 4 types of phones: Home, Mobile, Work and Other.
OShort or abbreviated names in the contacts list may not be
recognized. Change names in the contacts list to full names.

”As the system cannot recognize additional numbers,
say the complete number without stopping.
CASUAL SPEECH RECOGNITION
Due to natural language speech recognition technology, this
system enables recognition of a command when spoken
naturally. However, the system cannot recognize every
variation of each command. In some situations, it is possible
to omit the command for the procedure and directly state the
desired operation. Not all voice commands are displayed in
the function menu.
NOTE
OIf the command cannot be recognized completely, the command
input screen will be displayed. (Search results will be shown
based on the part of the command that was recognized.)
