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 7 )
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 129.
