Touch screen operation

BASIC FUNCTIONS
33
When starting the navigation system, the
current position is displayed first.
This screen displays the current vehicle
position and a map of the surrounding local
area.
The current vehicle position mark (1) ap-
pears in the center or bottom center of the
map screen.
A street name will appear on the bottom of
the screen, depending on the scale of the
map (

You can return to this map screen that
shows your current position at any time
from any screen by pushing the “MAP/
VOICE” button.
While driving, the current vehicle position
mark is fixed on the screen and the map
moves.
The current position is automatically set as
the vehicle receives signals from the GPS
(Global Positioning System). If the current
position is not correct, it is automatically
corrected after the vehicle receives sig-
nals from the GPS.
INFORMATION
 After battery disconnection, or on
a new vehicle, the current position
may not be correct. As soon as the
system receives signals from the
GPS, the correct current position
is displayed.
 To correct the current position
manually, see page 223.
When any point on the map is touched,
that point moves to the center of the screen
and is shown by the cursor mark (
1).
Use the scroll feature to move the desired
point to the center of the screen for looking
at a point on the map that is different from
the current position of the vehicle.
If the finger is continuously held on the
screen, the map will continue scrolling in
that direction until the finger is removed.
A street name, city name, etc. of the
touched point will be shown, depending on
the scale of the map (
2). Distance from
the current position to will also be
shown (3).
After the screen is scrolled, the map re-
mains centered at the selected location
until another function is activated. The cur-
rent vehicle position mark will continue to
move along your actual route and may
move off the screen. When the “MAP/
VOICE” button is pushed, the current ve-
hicle position mark returns to the center of
the screen and the map moves as the ve-
hicle proceeds along the designated route.
INFORMATION
When the onetouch scroll feature is
used, the current vehicle position
mark may disappear from the screen.
Move the map with a onetouch scroll
again or push the “MAP/VOICE” but-
ton to return to the current vehicle
position map location display.

REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
200
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle while backing
up. The left and right displayed on the
screen are the same as those of the in-
side rear view mirror.
Vehicles with smart key system —
To display the rear view image on the
screen, place the shift lever in the “R”
position when the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Vehicles without smart key system —
To display the rear view image on the
screen, place the shift lever in the “R”
position when the engine switch is in
the “ON” position.
If you move the shift lever out of the “R”
position, the screen returns to the previous
screen. Operating another function of the
navigation system will display another
screen.
The rear view monitor system is a supple-
ment device intended to assist back up.
When backing up, be sure to check behind
and all around the vehicle visually.
CAUTION
Never depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when
backing up. Always make sure
your intended path is clear.
Use caution, just as you would
when backing up any vehicle.
Never back up while looking only at
the screen. The image on the
screen is different from actual
conditions. Depicted distances
between objects and flat surfaces
will differ from actual distance. If
you back up while looking only at
the screen, you may hit a vehicle, a
person or an object. When backing
up, be sure to check behind and all
around the vehicle visually and
with mirrors before proceeding.
Always check the vehicle sur-
rounding area, because the guide
lines are ancillary lines.
The guide lines are ancillary lines
and do not change even if the steer-
ing wheel is turned.
Do not use the system when the
trunk is not completely closed.
Use your own eyes to confirm the
vehicle’s surroundings, as the dis-
played image may become faint or
dark, and moving images will be
distorted, or not entirely visible
when the outside temperature is
low. When backing up, be sure to
check behind and all around the ve-
hicle visually and with mirror be-
fore proceeding.
Do not use the system in the follow-
ing cases:
On icy or slick road surfaces, or
in snow.
When using tire chains or emer-
gency tires.
On an uneven road, such as a
slope.
