APPENDIX

This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle 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 cur-
rent vehicle position, normally using 4 or
more satellites, and in some cases 3 satel-
lites. The GPS system has a certain level
of inaccuracy. While the navigation sys-
tem will compensate for this most of the
time, occasional positioning errors of up to
300 feet (100 m) can and should be expec-
ted. 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 ob-
struct the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not send signals
due to repairs or improvements being
made to them.
Even when the navigation system is re-
ceiving clear GPS signals, the vehicle
position may not be shown accurately or
inappropriate route guidance may occur in
some cases.
NOTICE
The installation of window tinting
may obstruct the GPS signals. Most
window tinting contains some metal-
lic content that will interfere with GPS
signal reception of the antenna in the
instrument panel. We advise against
the use of window tinting on vehicles
equipped with navigation systems.

(a) Accurate current vehicle position
may not be shown in the following
cases:
When driving on a small angled Y−
shaped road.
When driving on a winding road.
When driving on a slippery road such
as in sand, gravel, snow, etc.
When driving on a long straight road.
When motorway 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 cur-
rent position calibration correctly.
After repeating a change of direction 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 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.
When the tire pressure in any of the
four tires is not correct.
INFORMATION
If your vehicle cannot receive GPS
signals, you can correct the current
position manually. For information
on setting the current position cal-
ibration, see page 108.
(b) Inappropriate route guidance may
occur in the following cases:
When turning at an intersection off the
designated route guidance.
If you set more than one destination but
skip any of them, auto reroute will dis-
play a route returning to the destination
on the previous route.
When turning at an intersection for
which there is no route guidance.
When passing through an intersection
for which there is no route guidance.
During auto reroute, the route guid-
ance may not be available for the next
turn to the right or left.
It may take a long time to operate auto
reroute during high speed driving. In
auto reroute, a detour route may be
shown.
After auto reroute, the route may not be
changed.
An unnecessary U−turn may be shown
or announced.
A location may have multiple names
and the system will announce one or
more.
Some routes may not be searched.
If the route to your destination includes
gravel, unpaved roads or alleys, the
route guidance may not be shown.
Your destination point might be shown
on the opposite side of the street.
When a portion of the route has regula-
tions prohibiting the entry of the vehicle
that vary by time or season or other
reasons.
The road and map data stored in your
navigation system may not be com-
plete or may not be the latest version.

After replacing a tire, implement the op-
eration described in the “TIRE
CHANGE CALIBRATION”. (See page
109.)
This navigation system uses tire turning
data and is designed to work with factory−
specified tires for your vehicle. Installing
tires that are larger or smaller than the orig-
inally equipped diameter may cause inac-
curate display of the vehicle’s position.
The tire pressure also affects the diameter
of the tires so please make sure the tire
pressure of all four tires is correct.This system uses the maps of DENSO.

The marks of companies displayed by
this product to indicate business loca-
tions are the marks of their respective
owners. The use of such marks in this
product does not imply any sponsor-
ship, approval, or endorsement by
such companies of this product.There are two types of areas available
for route guidance. In one type of area,
primarily around metropolitan centers,
detailed route guidance is available for
the entire area. In the other type of area,
all roads are displayed on the map but
route guidance is limited. The naviga-
tion route might lack precision because
the data (no right turns, one way traf-
fic, etc.) is not complete. It is still pos-
sible to reach the destination by follow-
ing the arrow direction and distance as
shown on the bottom left of the screen.
The arrow points in the direction of the
destination. The distance shown is as
measured in a straight line from the cur-
rent vehicle position to the destination
area.
In order to provide you with as accurate
map information as possible, we are al-
ways gathering information such as on
road repairs and carrying out on−site in-
vestigations. However, the names of
roads, streets, facilities, and their locations
frequently change. In some places,
construction on roads may be in progress.
For that reason, information on some
areas in this system might be different from
the actual location.

Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Navigation System. Please read
this manual carefully to ensure proper use. Keep this manual in your
vehicle at all times.
The Navigation System is one of the most technologically advanced
vehicle accessories ever developed. The system receives satellite sig-
nals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. Using these signals and other vehicle sen-
sors, the system indicates your present position and assists in locating
a desired destination.
The navigation system is designed to select efficient routes from your
present starting 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 DENSO maps. The calculated routes may not be the
shortest nor the least traffic congested. Your own personal local knowl-
edge or “short cut” may at times be faster than the calculated routes.
The navigation system’s database includes about 75 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 street
address or a major intersection close to it and the system will guide you
there.
The system will provide both a visual map and audio instructions. The au-
dio instructions will announce the distance remaining and the direction to
turn in approaching an intersection. These voice instructions will help you
keep your eyes on the road and are timed to provide enough time to allow
you to maneuver, change lanes or slow down.
