WARNING
To operate the navigation system or to
use the screen functions, first park the
vehicle in a safe place and set the park-
ing brake. Using the system while driv-
ing can distract the driver and may re-
sult in a serious accident.
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
The voice guidance will verbally tell you which di-
rection to turn when the vehicle approaches the
intersection in which you have to make a turn to
reach your destination.
NOTE:
Directional guidance provided by the navi-
gation system does not take carpool lane
driving into consideration, especially when
carpool lanes are separated from other
road lanes.
cThere may be some cases in which the
voice guidance and the actual road con-
ditions do not correspond. This may oc-
cur because of discrepancies between
the actual road and the information on
the DVD or due to the vehicle’s speed.cIn case the content of the voice guid-
ance does not match the actual road
conditions, follow the information ob-
tained from traffic signs or notices on
the road.
ADJUSTING THE GUIDE VOLUME
1. Press the SETTING button on the control
panel.
2. Select the
Guidance Volume key, then
push the ENTER button. When the
Guidance Volume key is illuminated with
amber indicator, it is activated. When turn-
ing up/down the voice guidance, touch the
Louder orSofter key. The voice will be-
come louder/softer.
