This manual explains the opera-
tion of the system. Please read
this manual carefully to ensure
proper use. Keep this manual in
your vehicle at all times.
The screens shown in this man-
ual may differ from the actual
screen of the system depending
on availability of functions, con-
nected services subscription
status, and map data available
at the time this manual was pro-
duced.
The screens in this manual will
also differ if the screen theme
settings have been changed.
(Theme setting: P. 6 2 )
In some situations when chang-
ing between screens, it may
take longer than normal for the
screen to change, the screen
may be blank momentarily or
noise may be displayed.
Please be aware that the con-
tent of this manual may be dif-
ferent from the system in some
cases, such as when the sys-
tem’s software is updated.
The company names and prod-
uct names appearing on this
manual are trademarks and reg-
istered trademarks of their
respective companies. The navigation system is one of
the most technologically
advanced vehicle accessories
ever developed. The system
receives satellite signals from
the Global Positioning System
(GPS) operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. Using
these signals and other vehicle
sensors, the system indicates
your present position and
assists in locating a desired des-
tination.
The navigation system is
designed to select efficient
routes from your present start-
ing location to your destination.
The system is also designed to
direct you to a destination that is
unfamiliar to you in an efficient
manner. The system uses AISIN
AW maps. The calculated routes
may not be the shortest nor the
least traffic congested. Your own
personal local knowledge or
“short cut” may at times be
faster than the calculated
routes.
The navigation system’s data-
base includes Point of Interest
categories to allow you to easily
select destinat
ions such as
restaurants and hotels. If a des-
tination is not in the database,
you can enter the street address
close to it and the system will

guide you there.
The system will provide both a
visual map and audio instruc-
tions. The audio instructions will
announce the distance remain-
ing and the direction to turn in
when approaching an intersec-
tion. These voice instructions
will help you keep your eyes on
the road and are timed to pro-
vide enough time to allow you to
maneuver, change lanes or slow
down.
Please be aware that all current
vehicle navigation systems have
certain limitations that may
affect their ability to perform
properly. The accuracy of the
vehicle’s position depends on
satellite conditions, road config-
uration, vehicle condition or
other circumstances. For more
information on the limitations of
the system, refer to page 123.

To use this system in the safest
possible manner, follow all the
safety tips shown below.
This system is intended to assist
in reaching the destination and,
if used properly, can do so. The
driver is solely responsible for
the safe operation of your vehi-
cle and the safety of your pas-
sengers.
Do not use any feature of this
system to the extent it becomes
a distraction and prevents safe
driving. The first priority while
driving should always be the
safe operation of the vehicle.
While driving, be sure to
observe all traffic regulations.
Prior to the actual use of this

become thoroughly familiar with
it. Read the entire manual to
make sure you understand the
system. Do not allow other peo-
ple to use this system until they
have read and understood the
instructions in this manual.
For your safety, some functions
may become inoperable when
driving. Unavailable screen but-
tons are dimmed.While driving, listen to the voice
instructions as much as possible
and glance at the screen briefly
and only when it is safe. How-
ever, do not totally rely on voice
guidance. Use it just for refer-
ence. If the system cannot
determine the current position
correctly, there is a possibility of
incorrect, late, or non-voice
guidance.
The data in the system may
occasionally be incomplete.
Road conditions, including driv-
ing restrictions (no left turns,
street closures, etc.) frequently
change. Therefore, before fol-
lowing any instructions from the
system, look to see whether the
instruction can be done safely
and legally.
This system cannot warn about
such things as the safety of an
area, condition of streets, and
availability of emergency ser-
vices. If unsure about the safety
of an area, do not drive into it.
