Precautions/System Performance
Voice guidance has the following functions:
nIntersection guidance
l
The system voice announces the distance to an upcoming turn and the turning direction.
This guidance function is automatic. Therefore, you do not have to set it, and it cannot be
disabled.
l The system vocally announces the distance to an upcoming highway branching point or
junction.
Voice Guidance
l The navigation system is just a support system for the driver. The driver should
always pay attention to the traffic situation to safely make decisions. You may
be unable at times to arrive at your destination due to out-of-date information
on a map disc. You should be especially careful when selecting an urgent
destination such as a hospital or a police station.
l Your route may sometimes include roads that are not open to vehicles or are
closed due to traffic regulations. Please comply with the local traffic
regulations.
l Do not change the settings and destination locations while driving. Minimize
the time spent viewing the monitor screen and listening to the voice guidance
while driving. Operating the system will distract the driver from looking ahead
of the vehicle and may cause an accident. Always stop the vehicle in a safe
location and use the parking brake before operating the system.
When two intersections are close together, the
voice guidance may be late. When two roundabouts are close together, the
voice guidance for the second may be late.
