WHEN A GRAY ROAD IS DIS-
PLAYED ON THE MAP
cWhen you are driving on a road displayed in
gray after the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route during route guidance, auto-
matic rerouting may not start immediately.
cThe navigation system does not provide route
guidance for roads displayed in dark green.
Therefore, if the destination is set on a road
displayed in dark green, the enlarged map
display will return to the ordinary map screen
at some point on a suggested route that is
near the destination. Also, voice guidance will
stop at some point on a suggested route that
is near the destination.
cPOI information and street names near roads
displayed in gray may not be contained in the
map data.cThere may be cases that carpool lanes are in-
cluded on a suggested route when the auto-
matic rerouting function is activated, even if
the “Use Time Restricted Roads” is turned off.“SETTING CONDITIONS FOR
THE ROUTE CALCULATION”
(page 5-10)
cThe navigation system does not provide route
guidance for roads displayed in dark green.
cIf the destination is set on a dark green road,
the enlarged map display will switch to the or-
dinary map screen at some point and suggest
a route that is near the destination. The dis-
tance and direction to the endpoint of the
suggested route will be displayed in the lower
right corner of the screen.
Also, at this time, voice guidance will
announce, “The route to your destination in-
cludes roads through incomplete map
areas. Voice guidance will not be provided
in these areas”.
When approaching the endpoint of the sug-
gested route, voice guidance will announce,
“Entering the road with incomplete map
data. Please use the direction arrow and
distance information to proceed to your
destination.” To reach your destination, refer
to the map screen. Always follow actual
roads and regulations and drive safely.cThe suggested route may not be the shortest,
nor are other circumstances, such as traffic
jams, considered.
cBecause of the inevitable difference in road
conditions and circumstances between the
time you use this system and the time the in-
formation was produced for the map
DVD-ROM, there may be discrepancies in
roads and regulations. In such cases, follow
the actual information available.
cDuring route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move with
the actual vehicle’s movement.
cDuring route calculation, buttons such as
MAP and DEST will be disabled.
cIn some cases, after the calculation is
complete, the calculated route may not be im-
mediately displayed.
cWaypoints that have been passed will be dis-
regarded by rerouting calculation.
cIf you scroll the map while the suggested
route is being drawn, it may take more time to
finish drawing.
cIf waypoints are set, the system calculates
multiple routes between waypoints
simultaneously, and the following may result:

– If one section between waypoints cannot
be calculated, none of the route will be
displayed.
– The route may not connect completely at
some waypoints.
– The route may require a U-turn close to
some waypoints.
cRoute calculation may not be completed in
the following cases:
– If there is no main road within a range of
1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the vehicle, a
message saying so will appear on the
screen. Try recalculating when the ve-
hicle is closer to a main road.
– If there is no main road within a range of
1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the destination or
waypoint, a message saying so will ap-
pear on the screen. Try setting the loca-
tion closer to a main road.
– If the vehicle is too close to the destina-
tion or if there are no roads to the
destination, a message saying so will ap-
pear on the screen.
– If it is impossible to reach the destination
or waypoints because of traffic
regulations, etc.– If the only route to reach the destination
or waypoints is extremely complicated.
– If the destination, current vehicle position
or waypoint is within the “Avoid Area”.
– If a part of the route is included in the
“Avoid Area”.
cThe following may occur when the route is
displayed:
– If you calculate a route on a main road,
the starting point of the route may not ex-
actly match the current vehicle location.
– The endpoint of the route may not exactly
match the destination.
– If you calculate a route on a main road,
the system may display a route from an-
other main road. This may be because
the position of the vehicle icon is not
accurate. In this case, park the vehicle in
a safe location and reset the vehicle icon,
or continue driving to see if the position
of the vehicle icon is automatically ad-
justed before recalculating the route.
– There are cases in which the system
shows an indirect route to reach the des-
tination or waypoints, if you set them
from stored or facility information. In or-
der to correct this, you must be carefulabout the traffic direction, especially
when lanes with different travel direc-
tions are shown separately, such as in-
terchanges and service areas.
– This system makes no distinction be-
tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show an indi-
rect route even if the road is usable.
– Even if the freeway preference is set to
OFF, a route that uses the freeway may
be suggested.
– Even if the preference is set to OFF, a
route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.
– Ferry lines, excluding those that are only
for pedestrians, bicycles and
motorcycles, are stored in this system.
Take into consideration the travel time re-
quired and operational condition before
deciding whether to use them or not.

INFO:
The announcement of the street name during
route guidance is available only when English is
set as the language for the system. Street names
are not announced if French is set for the
system.
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
Voice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
NOTE:
cThere may be some cases in which voice
guidance and actual road conditions do not
correspond. This may occur because of dis-
crepancies between the actual road and the
information on the map DVD-ROM, or it is due
to the vehicle’s speed.
cIn case voice guidance does not correspond
to the actual road conditions, follow the infor-
mation obtained from traffic signs or notices
on the road.
cRoute guidance provided by the navigation
system does not take carpool lane driving into
consideration, especially when carpool lanes
are separated from other road lanes.
DIRECTIONS PROVIDED AND THE
DISTANCES TO GUIDE POINTS
Directions will differ, depending on the road
type.
INFO:
