Foreword
Thank you for your purchase of the Navigation System. Please read this manual carefully to ensure proper use. Keep this
manual stored in your vehicle at all times.
The Toyota Navigation System is one of the most technologically advanced vehicle accessories ever developed. The system
receives satellite signals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. Using these
signals and other vehicle sensors, the system can show you where you are and assist you in locating a desired destination.
The navigation system is designed to select efficient routes from your present starting location to your destination. The system is
designed to direct you to a destination that is unfamiliar to you in efficient manners. The system uses the maps of DENSO based
on NAVTECH maps, GDT maps and infoUSA POIs. The calculated routes are neither the shortest routes nor routes without traffic
congestion. Your own personal local knowledge or “short cut” may at times be faster than the calculated routes.
The navigation system’s database includes about 50 point of interest categories to allow you to easily select destinations such as
restaurants and banks. If a destination is not in the database, you can enter the street address or a major intersection close to it
and the system will route you there. The system will provide both a visual map and audio instructions. The audio instructions will
announce the distance and direction to go when you are approaching a fork or intersection. These voice instructions will help you
keep your eyes on the road and are timed to provide enough time to allow you to maneuver, change lanes or slow down.
Please be aware that all current vehicle navigation systems have certain limitations that may affect their ability to
perform properly. The accuracy of the vehicle’s position depends on the satellite condition, road configuration, vehicle
condition or other circumstances. For more information on the limitations of the system, refer to pages 59 through 61.

Safety Instruction
L00002
To use your system as safely as pos-
sible, follow all the safety tips shown
below.
This system is intended to assist you in
reaching your destination and, if used
properly, can do so. You, as the driver,
are solely responsible for the safe op-
eration of your vehicle and the safety of
your passengers.
Do not use any feature of this system
to the extent it distracts you from safe
driving. Your first priority while you are
driving should always be the safe opera-
tion of your vehicle. While you are driv-
ing, be sure to observe all traffic regula-
tions.Before attempting to use this system
while you are driving, learn how to use
it and become thoroughly familiar with it.
Read the entire Navigation System
Manual to make sure you understand the
system. Do not allow others to use this
system until they have read and under-
stood these and other instructions in this
manual.
For your safety, some functions may be-
come inoperable when you start driving.
Unavailable switches are dimmed. You
can input your destination and select
your route only when the vehicle is not
moving.
CAUTION
For safety, the driver should not
operate the navigation system
while he/she is driving. Inattention
to the road and traffic may cause
an accident.
While you are driving, be sure to
follow the traffic regulations and
keep the road condition in mind.
If a traffic sign on the road has
been changed, route guidance
may provide wrong information
such as the direction of a one
way street.

2004 4RUNNER Navigation from Aug. ’03 Prod. (OM35813U)
While you are driving, listen to the voice
instructions as much as possible and
glance at the screen briefly and only
when it is safe. However, do not totally
rely on voice guidance. Use it just for
your information. If the system cannot
determine your current position correctly,
there is a possibility of incorrect, late or
non−voice guidance.
The data in the system may occasionally
be incomplete. Road conditions, includ-
ing driving restrictions (no left turns,
street closures, etc.) frequently change.
Therefore, before you follow any instruc-
tion from the system, look to see wheth-
er you can comply with the instruction
safely and legally.
This system cannot warn you about such
things as the safety of an area, condi-
tion of streets, and availability of emer-
gency services. If you are unsure about
the safety of an area, do not drive into
it. Under no circumstances is this sys-
tem a substitute for the driver ’s per-
sonal judgement.
Use this system only in locations where
it is legal to do so. Some states/prov-
inces may have laws prohibiting video
screens within sight of the driver.
