General system information
. There may be cases that carpool lanes are
included on a suggested route when the
automatic rerouting function is activated,
even if the “Use Time Restricted Roads” is
turned off.
“Setting conditions for route calcula-
tion” (page 5-23)
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in dark
green.
. If the destination is set on a dark green road,
the enlarged map display will switch to the
ordinary map screen at some point and
suggest a route that is near the destination.
The distance 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 the destination includes roads
through incomplete map areas. Voice gui-
dance will not be provided in these areas”.
When approaching the endpoint of the
suggested route, voice guidance will an-
nounce, “Entering the road with incomplete
map data. Use the direction arrow and
distance information to proceed to your
destination.”
To reach the destination, refer to the map
screen. Always follow actual roads and regulations and drive safely.
. The suggested route may not be the short-
est, nor are other circumstances such as
traffic jams considered.
. Because of the inevitable difference in road
conditions and circumstances between the
time you use this system and the time the
information was produced for the map data,
there may be discrepancies in roads and
regulations. In such cases, follow the actual
information available.
. During route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move
with the actual vehicle’s movement.
. During route calculation, buttons such as

— If it is impossible to reach the destination or waypoints because of traffic regula-
tions, 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”.
. The 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
exactly match the current vehicle loca-
tion.
— 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
another 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
adjusted before recalculating the route. — There are cases in which the system
shows an indirect route to reach the
destination or waypoints, if you set them
from stored or facility information. In
order to correct this, you must be careful
about the traffic direction, especially
when lanes with different travel directions
are shown separately, such as inter-
changes and service areas.
— This system makes no distinction be- tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show an
indirect 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 ferry 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 motor-
cycles, are stored in this system. Take
into consideration the travel time required
and operational condition before decid-
ing whether to use them or not.
INFO:
The system will only announce street names
when the system language is set to English.
Street names are not announced when the
system is set to Franc¸ ais (French) .
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCEVoice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
NOTE:
. There may be some cases in which
voice guidance and actual road condi-
tions do not correspond. This may
occur because of discrepancies be-
tween the actual road and the informa-
tion on the map data, or it is due to the
vehicle’s speed.
. In case voice guidance does not corre-
spond to the actual road conditions,
follow the information obtained from
traffic signs or notices on the road.
. Route guidance provided by the navi-
gation system does not take carpool
lane driving into consideration, espe-
cially when carpool lanes are separated
from other road lanes.

General system information
INFO:
. If is pushed when the vehicle is
deviating from the suggested route and
when the automatic reroute function is off,
voice guidance will announce, “Proceed to
the highlighted route.”
. If is pushed when the vehicle is
going in the wrong direction, voice guidance
will announce: “Please make a legal U-turn if
possible.”
NOTES ON VOICE GUIDANCE. Voice guidance in this system should be
regarded as a supplem entary function.
When driving the vehicle, check the route
on the map and follow the actual roads and
traffic regulations.
. Voice guidance is activated only for inter-
sections with certain conditions. There may
be cases that the vehicle has to turn, but
voice guidance is not provided.
. Voice guidance contents may vary, depend-
ing on the direction of the turn and the type
of intersection.
. The voice guidance timing will vary depend-
ing on the situation. .
When the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route, voice guidance is not
available. The system will not announce this.
Refer to the map and recalculate the route.
“Recalculating route” (page 5-21)
. Voice guidance may not accurately corre-
spond with road numbers and directions at
freeway junctions.
. Voice guidance may not accurately corre-
spond to street names at freeway exits.
. The displayed street names may sometimes
differ from the actual names, or “UN-
KNOWN STREET NAME” may be dis-
played.
. Voice guidance is not available when the
[Guidance Voice] is turned off.“Turning voice guidance ON/OFF”
(page 2-22)
. Voice guidance will start when the vehicle
enters the suggested route. Refer to the
map for directions to the starting point of the
route.
. When approaching a waypoint, voice gui-
dance will announce, “You have arrived at
waypoint 1 (2, 3, 4,...) .” Voice guidance will
switch to the next section of the route. When
voice guidance is not available, refer to the
map for directions. .
In some cases, voice guidance ends before
arrival at the destination. Refer to the
destination icon on the map to reach the
destination.
. If the system recognizes on which side the
destination (waypoint) is located, voice
guidance will announce “on the right/left”
after announcing the arrival at the destina-
tion.
. Voice guidance may be partially operational
or inoperative due to the angle of roads at an
intersection.
. Because freeway lane information is avail-
able only for approximately 7,000 major
freeways in North America, it is not possible
to display information for all junctions and
exits.
. Freeway exit information may differ from the
information on the actual exit signs.
. Because it is not possible to consider data
concerning roads that are seasonally avail-
able or unavailable, a route may be displayed
that does not match the actual traffic
restrictions. Be sure to follow the actual
traffic restrictions while driving.
. Canada and Alaska contain many roads with
incomplete map data. As a result, when
searching for a route, the route may include

Waypoints are not included in the
auto reroute calculation. Waypoints that have been already passed are not included in the auto
reroute calculation. To go to that waypoint again, edit the route.
Route information is not displayed. Route calculation has not yet been performed. Set the destination and perform route calculation.
The vehicle is not on the suggested route. Drive on the suggested route.
Route guidance is set to off. Turn on route guidance.
Route information is not provided for certain types of roads (roads
displayed in gray) . This is not a malfunction.
The auto reroute calculation (or de-
tour calculation) suggests the same
route as the one previously sug-
gested. Route calculations took priority conditions into consideration, but the
same route was calculated.
This is not a malfunction.
A waypoint cannot be added. Five waypoints are already set on the route, including ones that the vehicle has already passed. A maximum of 5 waypoints can be set on the
route. To go to 6 or more waypoints, perform
route calculations multiple times as necessary.
[Calculate] must be selected for route calculation after Waypoints are
selected from the “Edit/Add to Route” screen. Highlight [Calculate] and push
after
selecting waypoints.
The suggested route is not displayed. Roads near the destination cannot be calculated. Reset the destination to a main or ordinary road,
and recalculate the route.
The starting point and destination are too close. Set a more distant destination.
The starting point and destination are too far away. Divide the trip by selecting one or two inter-
mediate destinations, and perform route calcula-
tions multiple times.
There are time restricted roads (by the day of the week, by time) near
the current vehicle location or destination. Set [Use Time Restricted Roads] to off.
“Setting conditions for route calculation”
(page 5-23)
A part of the route is not displayed. The suggested route includes narrow streets (roads displayed in gray). This is not a malfunction.

Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
The part of the route that the vehicle
has already passed is deleted. A route is managed by sections between waypoints. If the vehicle
passed the first waypoint, the section between the starting point and
the waypoint is deleted (it may not be deleted depending on the area). This is not a malfunction.
An indirect route is suggested. If there are restrictions (such as one-way streets) on roads close to the starting point or destination, the system may suggest an indirect route. Adjust the location of the starting point or
destination.
The system may suggest an indirect route because route calculation
does not take into consideration some areas such as narrow streets
(gray roads) . Reset the destination to a main or ordinary road,
and recalculate the route.
The landmark information does not
correspond to the actual information. This may be caused by insufficient or incorrect map data.
Updated information will be included in the next
version of the map data.
The suggested route does not exactly
connect to the starting point, way-
points, or destination. There is no data for route calculation closer to these locations. Set the starting point, waypoints and destination
on a main road, and perform route calculation.
