The Navigation System is one of the most technologically advanced vehicle accesso-
ries 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 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. Map database is made based on AISIN
AW maps, whose information source comes from NAVTEQ 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 database includes Point of Interest categories to allow you to
easily select destinations such as restaurants and hotels. If a destination is not in the da-
tabase, you can enter the street address or a major intersection close to it and the sys-
tem will guide you there.
The system will provide both a visual map an d audio instructions. The audio instructions
will announce the distance remaining and the direction to turn when 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.
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 de-
pends on satellite conditions, road configuration, vehicle condition or other circum-
stances. For more information on the limitations of the system, refer to page 186.

6. TIPS FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
1. GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense provides an accurate
current position, normally using 4 or more
satellites, and in some case 3 satellites. The
GPS system has a certain level of inaccura-
cy. While the navigation system compen-
sates for this most of the time, occasional
positioning errors of up to 100 yd. (100 m)
can and should be expected. Generally, po-
sition errors will be corrected within a few
seconds.When the vehicle is receiving signals from
satellites, the “GPS” mark appears at the
top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically obstruct-
ed, leading to inaccurate vehicle position on
the map screen. 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 made to
them.
Even when the navigation system is receiv-
ing clear GPS signals, the vehicle position
may not be shown accurately or inappropri-
ate route guidance may occur in some cas-
es.
LIMITATIONS OF THE
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This navigation system calculates the
current position using satellite signals,
various vehicle signals, map data, etc.
However, an accurate position may not
be shown depending on satellite condi-
tions, road configuration, vehicle condi-
tion or other circumstances.
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.

1Select “Sound settings” on the “Audio
settings” screen. ( →P.260)
2Select the “DSP” tab.
3Select the desired items to be set.
INFORMATION
●
Up to two portable players can be con-
nected to the USB port at the same time.
●Even if a USB hub is used to connect
more than two USB devices, only the first
two connected devices will be recog-
nized.
SOUND SETTINGS
DSP CONTROL
No.Function
The system adjusts to the optimum
volume and tone quality according to
vehicle speed to compensate for in-
creased vehicle noise.
This function can create a feeling of
presence.

•Press to select a media mode.
• While in a media mode, pressing the “MEDIA” button changes media modes.
CAUTION
●Conversational speech on some DVDs is recorded at a low volume to emphasize the
impact of sound effects. If you adjust the volume assuming that the conversations represent
the maximum volume level that the DVD will play, you may be startled by louder sound
effects or when you change to a different au dio source. The louder sounds may have a sig-
nificant impact on the human body or pose a driving hazard. Keep this in mind when you
adjust the volume.
INFORMATION
●
According to the DVD disc, some menu items can be selected directly. (For details, see the
manual that comes with the DVD disc provided separately.)
●If appears on the screen when a control is selected, the operation relevant to the control
is not permitted.
