Accessories Precautions
The GPS antenna is located in the dashboard . Metallic front or side window tinting can seriously degrade or obstruct GPS recept ion.
Signal noise from devices such as radar detectors, vehicle tracking devices, remote starters, and additional amplifiers can disrupt the navigation system. If you
install any such item, install it away from the navigation display and antenna.
Important Safety Information
Avoid focusing on the screen or manually operating the system controls while driving.
Certain on-screen controls are disabled when driving, however most of the voice commands continue to function. Pull to the side of the road if you need to devote
more attention and time to look at the screen or access additional menus.
Route guidance may conflict with street closures, road construction, detours, and out-of-date map data.
The system itself may also have limitations. Verify route information by carefully observing roads, signs, and signals. Always use your own judgment and obey
traffic laws.

System Setup
Voice Control System
Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of the
navigation system functions.
The voice control system uses the (Talk) and (Hang-Up/Back) buttons on the
steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.
For details of the (Talk) button, (Hang-Up/Back) button and microphone
position, see the Owner's Manual.
Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition when using the navigation voice control
system:
• Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command that you are
using. The system recognizes only certain commands.
Available navigation commands:
2Voice Commands P. 140
• Close the windows.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow onto the microphone
on the ceiling.
• Speak in a clear, natural speaking voice without pausing between words.
• Reduce any background noise if possible. The system may misinterpret your
command if more than one person is speaking at the same time.
1Voice Control System
When you press the (Talk) button, the system
prompts you to say a voice command. Press and
release the (Talk) button again to bypass this
prompt and give a command.
1Voice Recognition
The voice control system can only be used from the
driver’s seat because the microphone unit removes
noises from the passenger’s side.

ProblemSolution
The navigation system does not route me the same
way I would go or the same way as other mapping
systems.The navigation system attempts to generate the optimal route. You can change the
route preferences used when calculating a route.
2Recalculate Using Another Route Preference P. 107
The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road. ●Check that the GPS antenna (located in the dashboard) is not blocked. For best
reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar detectors, cellular
phones, or loose articles.
●Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with GPS reception.
Please consult your dealer.

4.Select North Up and then select Save.
The “Arrival time” display sometimes increases
even though I am getting closer to my destination.The “Arrival time” is based on the speed limit on each road. Depending on the
traffic conditions, the “Arrival time” may be calculated to be earlier or later.
My elevation (shown when I display the current
position) seems to fluctuate even though my
elevation has not changed.This is normal. The elevation can vary ±100 ft (30 m) due to GPS calculation errors.
2GPS P. 132
My elevation is missing on the “current position”
screen.The elevation is only displayed if the GPS antenna can receive signals from at least
four satellites. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. The elevation is also not
displayed if the calculated elevation is zero or below sea level.

Reference Information
System Limitations
GPS
The signals received from GPS satellites are
extremely weak (less than a millionth of the
strength of a local FM station) and require
an unobstructed view of the sky. The GPS
antenna is located in the dashboard. The
signal reception can easily be interrupted or
interfered with by the following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side
windows
• Cellular phones, PDAs, or other electronic
devices docked in a cradle or lying loose
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle
tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devices mounted near
the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, highway overpasses,
tunnels, or overhead electrical power
wiresGPS is operated by the U.S. Department of
Defense. For security reasons, there are
certain inaccuracies built into GPS for which
the navigation system must constantly
compensate. This can cause occasional
positioning errors of up to several hundred
feet (meters).
Address Calculation
The destination icon shows only the
approximate location of a destination
address. This occurs if the number of
possible addresses is different from the
number of actual addresses on a block. For
example, the address 1425 on a 1400 block
with 100 possible addresses (because it is
followed by the 1500 block) will be shown a
quarter of the way down the block by the
system. If there are only 25 actual addresses
on the block, the actual location of address
1425 would be at the end of the block.
Database
The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various points
in time before production. Accordingly,
your database may contain inaccurate or
incomplete data or information due to the
passage of time, road construction,
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may
be missing when you search the database
because the name was misspelled, the place
was improperly categorized, or a place/
landmark is not yet in the database. This is
also true for police stations, hospitals, EV
stations, Gas stations and other public
institutions. Do not rely on the navigation
system if you need law enforcement or
hospital services. Always check with local
information sources.
