Avoiding Voice Recognition Errors.Read the notes listed below to allow the Voice Recognition function to recognize your voice properly.l
Speak a voice command clearly.
l Keep yourself in a safe driving position. Do not face or approach the microphone to make a 
voice command recognizable. 
Voice recognition may fail to recognize your command due to voice tone. If this happens, 
change the tone of your voice by speaking more loudly and clearly.
l Keep the inside of the vehicle quiet when making a voice command. Your command may be 
compromised by noises made by people, blinkers, the horn, vehicle vibration, and noises 
from outside the vehicle.
l Use the language you selected in voice recognition.
The following voice commands can be used with voice control.
( ): Say any one of the commands separated by a / (slash) within this type of parentheses. 
[]: Recognizes without saying the command in “[]”
“/”: Recognizes when saying either commands before and after “/”
*Triple A stands for AAA. If the command is not spoken as indicated (Triple A), the system will  not recognize the command.

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 
intersection.
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be unable at times to arrive at your destination due to out-of-date information 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.

If necessary
GPS is a position detecting system utilizing the signals 
from GPS satellites deployed by the U.S. Department of 
Defense. The Mobile Navigation System uses input from 
three or more satellites and calculates the vehicle position 
based on the principle of triangulation. 
The positioning accuracy of the system corresponds to the 
error display of the GPS which is from about 30 to 200 meters 
(98 to 656 ft)
.
l If you are using the system for the first time, or if you have not used it for some time, it takes 
about 5 minutes (or about 2 minutes in open areas) to calculate your vehicle’s position.
nGPS signal reception is poor in the following places
lThe GPS satellites are controlled by the U.S. Defense Department, which may intentionally 
lower positioning accuracy. In such cases, there may be vehicle position deviations.
l There may be vehicle position deviations for some time until GPS signals are received after 
switching on the ignition.
This function compares your vehicle’s tracking data with the road data on the map 
disc, applies dead reckoning to determine the road you are driving on, and displays 
your vehicle on that road on the map.
l Intelligent map matching addresses the following problems to achieve high accuracy in 
vehicle positioning.
Position Correction for Elevated RoadsPosition accuracy is improved by detecting if the vehicle is 
running on or under an elevated road.
Position Correction for Parking GaragesPosition accuracy is improved by detecting if the vehicle is 
driving in an elevated or underground parking garage.
High-precision GyrosensorA gyro detects turns with an accuracy of 0.05° per second. 
Combined with a speed sensor, it enables the system to 
display the current vehicle position even where GPS signals 
may be blocked.
l Using a spare tire in place of the regular one may cause vehicle position deviations.
l Any difference between the direction which your vehicle actually travels and that shown on 
the map is automatically eliminated by azimuth correction.

In the following situations, your vehicle positio
n may not be displayed correctly on the 
map. But, as you keep driving, your  vehicle position will be automatically corrected 
utilizing map matching and GPS data.
Although you may encounter the following problems in route guide, there is nothing 
wrong with the system.

Route Guide
For certain intersection shapes, 
the upcoming turn or the name of 
the intersection may not be 
announced. For certain intersection shapes, 
you may be prompted to turn right 
or left when you should actually 
stay on the same road. Voice guidance for the planned 
route may continue even after you 
have deviated from that route 
such as having turned too early.
Some points where the road 
divides on highways or toll roads 
may not be displayed or 
announced. The Intersection Zoom Map may 
not always agree with the actual 
shape of the intersection.
The announced distance to an 
upcoming turn may differ slightly 
from reality.

nOperating Tips for In-Dash CD 
Changer
Condensation phenomenon
Immediately after turning on the heater 
when the vehicle is cold, the CD or optical 
components (prism and lens) in the In-dash 
CD changer may become clouded with 
condensation. At this time, the CD will eject 
immediately when placed in the unit. A 
clouded CD can be corrected simply by 
wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded optical 
components will clear naturally in about an 
hour. Wait for normal operation to return 
before attempting to use the unit.
Handling the In-dash CD changer
The following precautions should be 
observed.
l
Do not spill any liquid on the audio system.
l Do not insert any objects, other than CDs, 
into the slot.
l The CD revolves at high speed within the 
unit. Defective (cracked or badly bent) CDs 
should never be used. l
Do not use non-conventional discs such as 
heart-shaped, octagonal discs, etc. The 
disc may not eject resulting in a 
malfunction.
l If the memory portion of the CD is 
transparent or translucent, do not use the 
disc.
l A new CD may have rough edges on its 
inner and outer perimeters. If a disc with 
rough edges is used, proper setting will not 
be possible and the In-dash CD changer 
will not play the CD. In addition, the disc 
may not eject resulting in a malfunction.
Remove the rough edges in advance by 
using a ball-point pen or pencil as shown 
below. To remove the rough edges, rub the 
side of the pen or pencil against the inner 
and outer perimeter of the CD.
l When driving over uneven surfaces, 
the sound may jump.

Audio Operation
lUse discs that have been legitimately 
produced. If illegally-copied discs such as 
pirated discs are used, the system may not 
operate properly.
l Be sure never to touch the signal surface 
when handling the CDs. Pick up a CD by 
grasping the outer edge or the edge of the 
hole and the outer edge.
l Do not stick paper or tape on the CD. 
Avoid scratching the reverse side (the side 
without a label). The disc may not eject 
resulting in a malfunction.
l Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can 
decrease the amount of light reflected from 
the signal surface, thus affecting sound 
quality. If the CD should become soiled, 
gently wipe it with a soft cloth from the 
center of the CD to the edge.
l Do not use record sprays, antistatic 
agents, or household spray cleaners. 
Volatile chemicals such as benzine and 
thinner can also damage the surface of the 
CD and must not be used. Anything that 
can damage, warp, or fog plastic should 
never be used to clean CDs.
l Insert discs one by one. If two discs are 
inserted at the same time, the system may 
not operate properly.
l The In-dash CD changer ejects the CD if 
the CD is inserted upside down. Also dirty 
and/or defective CDs may be ejected.
l Do not insert any disc with a peel-off seal 
affixed to it. Handling the In-dash CD changer
l
This unit may not be able to play certain 
CD-R/CD-RWs made using a computer or 
music CD recorder due to disc 
characteristics, scratches, smudges, dirt, 
etc., or due to dust or condensation on the 
lens inside the unit.
l Storing CDs in the vehicle exposed to 
direct sunlight or high temperature may 
damage the CD-R/CD-RWs, and make 
them unplayable.
l CD-R/CD-RW exceeding 700 MB cannot 
be played.
l This unit may not be able to play certain 
discs made using a computer due to the 
application (writing software) setting used. 
(For details, consult the store where the 
application was purchased.)
l It is possible that certain text data, such as 
titles, recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW may 
not be displayed when musical data (CD-
DA) is playing.
l The period from when a CD-RW is 
inserted to when it begins playing is longer 
than a normal CD or CD-R.
l Completely read the instruction manual 
and cautions for CD-R/CD-RWs.
l Do not use discs with cellophane tape 
adhering, partially peeled off labels, or 
adhesive material exuding from the edges 
of the CD label. Also, do not use discs with 
a commercially-available CD-R label 
affixed. The disc may not eject resulting in 
a malfunction.
