Foreword
Thank you for your purchase of the Navigation System. Please read this manual ca refully to ensure proper use. Keep this
manual stored in your vehicle at all times.
The Toyota Navigation System is one of the most technologica lly advanced vehicle accessories ever developed. The system
receives satellite signals from the Global Po sitioning System (GPS) operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. Using these
signals and other vehicle sensors, the syst em can show you where you are and assist you in locating a desired destination.
The navigation system is designed to select efficient routes from your present starting location to your destination. The syste m is
designed to direct you to a destination that is unfamiliar to yo u in efficient manners. The system uses the maps of DENSO based
on NAVTECH maps, GDT maps and infoUSA POIs. The calculated rout es are neither the shortest routes nor routes without traffic
congestion. Your own personal local knowledge or “short cut” may at times be faster than the calculated routes.
The navigation system’s database includes about 50 point of interest categories to allow you to easily select destinations such as
restaurants and banks. If a destination is not in the database, you can enter the str eet address or a major intersection close to it
and the system will route you there. The sy stem will provide both a visual map and audio instructions. The audio instructions will
announce the distance and direction to go when you are approaching a fork or intersection. These voice instructions will help you
keep your eyes on the road and are ti med to provide enough time to allow you to maneuver, change lanes or slow down.
Please be aware that all current vehicle navigation systems have certain li mitations that may affect their ability to
perform properly. The accuracy of the vehicle’s position depends on the satellite condition, road configuration, vehicle
condition or other circumstances. For more information on the limitations of the system, refer to pages 59 through 61.

You can change the orientation of the
map from the northup to the heading
up by touching the orientation symbol
at the top left of the screen.
Northup symbol
Regardless of the direction of vehicle
travel, North is always up.
Headingup symbol
The direction of the vehicle travel is al-
ways up. A red arrow indicates North. This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various ve
hicle signals, map
data, etc. However, the accurate posi-
tion may not be shown depending on
the satellite condition, road configura-
tion, vehicle condition or other circum-
stances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense provides an accurate
current vehicle position using 3 to 4 sa-
tellites. The GPS system has a certain
level of inaccuracy. While the navigation
system will compensate for this most of
the time, occasional positioning errors up
to 300 feet can and should be expected.
Generally, position errors will be cor-
rected within a few seconds.

When your vehicle is receiving signals
from the satellites, the “GPS” mark ap-
pears at the top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically ob-
structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle
position on the map display. Tunnels, tall
buildings, trucks, or even the placement
of objects on the instrument panel may
obstruct the GPS signals.
The installation of window tinting may
also obstruct the GPS signals. Most win-
dow tinting contains some metallic con-
tent that will interfere with the GPS signal
reception. We recommend not to use the
window tinting on vehicles equipped with
navigation systems.The GPS satellites may not send signals
due to repairs or improvements being
made to them.
Even when the navigation system is re-
ceiving good GPS signals, the vehicle
position may not be shown accurately or
inappropriate route guidance may occur
in some cases.
When driving on a small angled Y
−
shaped road.
When driving on a spiral 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 carri-
er.
When a long route is searched during
high speed driving.
When driving without setting the cur-
rent position calibration correctly.
After repeating a change of directions
by going forward and backward, or
turning on a turntable in the parking
lot.
When leaving a covered parking lot or
parking garage.
When a roof carrier is installed.
When driving with the tire chains
installed.
When the tires are worn.
After replacing a tire or tires.
When using tires that are smaller or
larger than the fact ory specifications.

(e) Operating a DVD video disc
NOTE: The playback condition of some
DVD video discs may be determined
by the manufacturer of the DVD video
software producer. This DVD player
plays discs as the software manufac-
turer intended. Therefore, some func-
tions may not work properly. Be sure
to read the instru ction manual for the
DVD video disc separately provided.
For detailed information about DVD
video discs, see “(h) DVD video disc
information”.
Precautions for DVD video discs
When recording on a DVD or video CD,
audio tracks may not record in some
cases while the menu is displayed. As
audio will not play in this case, verify that
the video tracks are playing and then
activate playback.
When playback of a disc is completed:
If an audio CD is playing, the next CD
will be selected and playback will be-
gin automatically.
If a DVD video or video CD is playing,
playback will stop or the menu screen
will be displayed. The next disc will
not play back automatically. (Audio
tracks cannot be heard while the disc
is stopped) The title/chapter number and playback
time display may not appear while playing
back certain DVD video discs.
CAUTION
Conversational speech on some
DVDs is recorded at a low volume to
emphasize the impact of sound ef-
fects. If you adjust the volume as-
suming that the conversations repre-
sent the maximum vo
lume level that
the DVD will play, you may be
startled by louder sound effects or
when you change to a different au-
dio source. Loud sounds may have
a significant impact on the human
body or pose a driving hazard. Keep
this in mind when you adjust the
volume.

DVD video discs: Digital Versatile Disc
that holds video. DVD video discs have
adopted “MPEG2”, one of the world stan-
dards of digital compression technologies.
The picture data is compressed by 1/40
on average and stored. Variable rate en-
coded technology in which the volume of
data assigned to the picture is changed
depending on the picture format has also
been adopted. Audio data is stored using
PCM and Dolby digital, which enables
higher quality of sound. Furthermore, mul-
ti − angle and multi− language features will
also help you enjoy the more advanced
technology of DVD video.
Viewer restrictions: This feature limits
what can be viewed in conformity with
the level of restrictions of the country.
The level of restrictions varies depending
on the DVD video disc. Some DVD video
discs cannot be played at all, or violent
scenes are skipped or replaced with other
scenes.
Level 1: DVD video discs for children can
be played.
Level 2—7: DVD video discs for children
and G −rated movies can be played. Level 8: All types of DVD video discs can
be played.
Multiangle feature:
You can enjoy the
same scene at different angles.
Multilanguage feature: You can select
the language of the subtitles and audio.
Region codes: Region codes are pro-
vided on DVD players and DVD discs. If
the DVD video disc does not have the
same region code as the DVD player,
you cannot play the disc on the DVD
player. For region codes, see page 168.
Audio: This DVD player can play liner
PCM, Dolby digital and MPEG audio for-
mat DVD. Other decoded type cannot be
played.
Title and chapter: Video and audio pro-
grams stored on DVD video discs are
divided in parts by title and chapter.
Title: The largest unit of the video and
audio programs stored on DVD video
discs. Usually, one piece of a movie, one
album, or one audio program is assigned
as a title.
Chapter: A unit smaller than a title. A
title comprises plural chapters. Manufactured under license from Dolby
Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic”,
and the doubleD symbol are trade-
marks of Dolby Laboratories. Confiden-
tial unpublished works.
