For safety reasons, this manual indicates
items requiring particular attention with the
following marks.
CAUTION
This is a warning against anything
which may cause injury to people if
the warning is ignored. You are in-
formed about what you must or must
not do in order to reduce the risk of
injury to yourself and others.
NOTICE
This is a warning against anything
which may cause damage to the ve-
hicle or its equipment if the warning
is ignored. You are informed about
what you must or must not do in or-
der to avoid or reduce the risk of dam-
age to your vehicle and its equip-
ment.
INFORMATION
This provides additional information.
Safety Instruction
To use this system in the safest possible
manner, follow all the safety tips shown be-
low.
This system is intended to assist in reach-
ing the destination and, if used properly,
can do so. The driver is solely responsible
for the safe operation of your vehicle and
the safety of your passengers.
Do not use any feature of this system to the
extent it becomes a distraction and pre-
vents safe driving. The first priority while
driving should always be the safe opera-
tion of the vehicle. While driving, be sure
to observe all traffic regulations.
Prior to the actual use of this system, learn
how to use it and become thoroughly famil-
iar with it. Read the entire Navigation Sys-
tem Owner’s Manual to make sure you un-
derstand the system. Do not allow other
people to use this system until they have
read and understood the instructions in
this manual.
For your safety, some functions may be-
come inoperable when driving. Unavail-
able touch −screen buttons are dimmed.
Only when the vehicle is not moving, can
the destination be set and route be se-
lected.

CAUTION
For safety, the driver should not
operate the navigation system
while he/she is driving.
Insufficient attention to the road
and traffic may cause an accident.
 While driving, be sure to obey the
traffic regulations and maintain
awareness of the road conditions.
If a traffic sign on the road has
been changed, route guidance
may provide incorrect information
such as the direction of a one way
street.
While driving, listen to the voice instruc-
tions as much as possible and glance at
the screen briefly and only when it is safe.
However, do not totally rely on voice guid-
ance. Use it just for reference. If the sys-
tem cannot determine the current vehicle
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
driving restrictions (no left turns, street clo-
sures, etc.) frequently change. Therefore,
before following any instruction 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. Under no cir-
cumstances is this system a substitute
for the driver’s personal judgement.
Use this system only in locations where it
is legal to do so. Some states/provinces
may have laws prohibiting the use of video
and navigation screens next to the driver.

 Map database information and updates 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This navigation system calculates the current vehicle position using satellite sig-
nals, various vehicle signals, map data, etc. However, the accurate position may
not be shown depending on the satellite condition, road configuration, vehicle
condition or other circumstances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) developed and operated by the U.S. Department
of Defense provides an accurate current vehicle position, normally using 4 or more satel-
lites, and in some cases 3 satellites. The GPS system has a certain level of i\
naccuracy.
While the navigation system will compensate for this most of the time, occasional \
posi-
tioning errors of up to 300 feet (100 m) can and should be expected. Generally , position
errors will be corrected within a few seconds.
When your vehicle is receiving signals from the satellites, the “GPS” mark appears at the
top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically obstructed, leading to inaccurate vehicle \
position on
the map display. Tunnels, tall buildings, trucks, or even the placement of objects on the
instrument panel may obstruct the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not send signals due to repairs or improvements being mad\
e
to them.
Even when the navigation system is receiving clear GPS signals, the vehi\
cle position
may not be shown accurately or inappropriate route guidance may occur in so\
me cases.

NOTICE
The installation of window tinting may obstruct the GPS signals. Most window
tinting contains some metallic content that will interfere with GPS signal recep\
-
tion of the antenna in the instrument panel. We advise against the use of win-
dow tinting on vehicles equipped with navigation systems.
(a) Accurate current vehicle position may not be shown in the following case\
s:
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 current 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 specificati\
ons.
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 po\
sition
manually. For information on setting the current position calibration, 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 display
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 guidanc\
e.

21

During auto reroute, the route guidance 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 re-
route, 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 m\
ore.
Some routes may not be searched.
If the route to your destination includes gravel, unpaved roads or alley\
s, 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 regulations 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 complete or may
not be the latest version.
After replacing a tire, implement the operation described in the “TIR\
E CHANGE
CALIBRATION”. (See page 109.)
This navigation system uses tire turning data and is designed to work with fa\
ctory −speci-
fied tires for your vehicle. Installing tires that are larger or smaller than the \
originally
equipped diameter may cause inaccurate display of the vehicle’s position. The tire pres-
sure 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.
