Foreword
Thank you for your purchase of the Navigation System. Please read this manual carefully to ensure proper use. Keep this
manual stored in your vehicle at all times.
The Toyota Navigation System is one of the most technologically advanced vehicle accessories ever developed. The system receives
satellite si gnals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) operated by the U. S. Department of Defense. Using these signals and other
vehicle sensors, the system 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 you in an efficient manner. The system uses the maps of DENSO bas ed on
NavTech maps and GDT maps. The calculated routes are neither the shortest routes nor routes without traffic congestion. Your ow n
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 hotels. If a destination is not in the database, you can enter the street address or a major intersection close to it and
the system will route you there. The system 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 y our eyes
on the road and are timed 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 limitations that may affect their ab ility to perform
properly. The accuracy of the vehicle’s position depends on the satellite c ondition, road configuration, vehicle condition or
other circumstances. For more information on the limitations of the system, refer to pages 45 through 47.

3. When there are 2 map screens dis-played to switch the “North
up”/“Headingup” of the right screen
map, select
“Right screen”
switch.

4.Select the “Map orient.” switch
of the “Edit right screen”, and then
the “Northup”/“Headingup” of the
right screen is switched.
When 2 map screens are displayed, you
can set one as the “North −up” and the
other one as the “Heading −up.” This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However, an accurate position
may not be shown depending on the
satellite condition, road configuration,
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 cur-
rent vehicle position using 3 to 4
satellites. The GPS system has a certain
level of inaccuracy built in for security
reasons. While the navigation system will
compensate for this most of the time, oc-
casional positioning errors up to 300 feet
can and should be expected. Generally,
position errors will be corrected within a
few seconds.

When your vehicle is not receiving signals
from the satellites, the “GPS” mark does
not appear at 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 ob-
struct the GPS signals.
The installation of window tinting may also
obstruct the GPS signals. Most window
tinting contains some metallic content that
will interfere with the GPS signal recep-
tion. We recommend not to use the win-
dow tinting on vehicles equipped with nav-
igation 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 carrier.
When a long route is searched during
high speed driving.
When driving without setting the current
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 factory specifications.
(a) Accurate current vehicle
position may not be shown in
the following cases:

(b) Tone and balance
How good an audio program sounds to you
is largely determined by the mix of the
treble, mid−range, and bass levels. In fact,
different kinds of music and vocal programs
usually sound better with different mixes of
treble, midrange, and bass.
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound
levels is also important.

Pushing the “” button will display
the sound control mode. Adjust the
tone and balance by moving the select
and scroll lever.
“Treble”: Adjusts high −pitched tones.
“Midrange”: Adjusts mid−pitched tones.
“Bass”: Adjusts low− pitched tones.
“Balance”: Adjusts the sound balance
between the right and left speakers.
“Fader”: Adjusts the sound balance be-
tween the front and rear speakers.
“Speed Compensated Volume”: Adjusts
the volume level automatically to depend-
ing on road and wind noise as you drive.
Adjusts the volume to the desired level.
Move the select and scroll lever to adjust
the volume level to “O ff”, “Low”, “Mid” or
“High”. The higher the choice, the greater
the volume compensation at faster ve-
hicle speeds. This function will automati-
cally adjust increasing the volume to
overcome noise at any speed. The vol-
ume level will always be the same while
you are driving. If you do not want to use
speed compensated volume, adjust “Off”.

(g) If the player malfunctions
If the player does not operate, check that
the disc surface is not soiled or dam-
aged. If the disc is O.K., the following
causes are possible.
The temperature of the player’s inter-
nal mechanism may be raised be-
cause of high external temperature.
Remove the disc from the player to
cool it.
Compact disc changer—
Condensation may have occurred on
the internal mechanism of the auto-
matic changer. Open the cover to let
the air circulate.
The temperature of the player’s inter-
nal mechanism may be raised be-
cause of high external temperature.
Remove the magazine from the player
to cool it.
If the player still does not operate, have
it checked by your dealer.
NOTICE
To ensure the correct audio system
operation:
 Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio system.
 Do not put anything other than a
Compact Disc into the slot.
 The use of cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise
from the speakers of the audio
system which you are listening to.
However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with
your radio—it is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can interfere with
AM signals. And of course, radio signals
have a limited range. The farther you are
from a station, the weaker its signal will
be. In addition, reception conditions
change constantly as your vehicle moves. Here are some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a
problem with your radio:
FM
Fading and drifting stations—Generally,
the effective range of FM is about 40 km
(25 miles). Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting, which in-
crease with the distance from the radio
transmitter. They are often accompanied
by distortion.
Multi
−path—FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for two signals to
reach your antenna at the same time. If
this happens, the signals will cancel each
other out, causing a momentary flutter or
loss of reception.
Static and fluttering—These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping—If the FM signal you
are listening to is interrupted or weak-
ened, and there is anot her strong station
nearby on the FM band, your radio may
tune in the second station until the origi-
nal signal can be picked up again.
