3-5.Tips for operating the navigation system
The Global Positioning System 
(GPS) developed and operated 
by the U.S. Department of 
Defense provides an accurate 
current position, normally using 
4 or more satellites, and in some 
case 3 satellites. The GPS sys-
tem has a certain level of inac-
curacy. While the navigation 
system compensates for this 
most of the time, occasional 
positioning errors of up to 300 ft. 
(100 m) can and should be 
expected. Generally, position 
errors will be corrected within a 
few seconds.
When the vehicle is not receiv-
ing signals from satellites, the 
unreceived GPS mark appears 
on the map screen. When the 
vehicle is receiving the signals, 
the unreceived GPS mark does  not appear on the map screen.
The GPS signal may be physi-
cally obstructed, leading to inac-
curate vehicle position on the 
map screen. Tunnels, tall build-
ings, trucks, or even the place-
ment of objects on the 
instrument panel may obstruct 
the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not 
send signals due to repairs or 
improvements being made to 
them.
Even when the navigation sys-
tem is receiving clear GPS sig-
nals, the vehicle position may 
not be shown accurately or inap-
propriate route guidance may 
occur in some cases.
Accurate current position may 
not be shown in the following 
cases:
• When driving on a small angled 
Y-shaped road.
• When driving on a winding road.
• When driving on a slippery road  such as in sand, gravel, snow, 
etc.
GPS (Global Position-
ing System)
This navigation system cal-
culates the current position 
using satellite signals, vari-
ous vehicle signals, map 
data, etc. However, an accu-
rate position may not be 
shown depending on satel-
lite conditions, road config-
uration, vehicle condition or 
other circumstances.
Limitations of the naviga-
tion system
NOTICE
●The installation of window tint-
ing may obstruct the GPS sig-
nals. Most window tinting 
contains some  metallic content 
that will interf ere with GPS sig-
nal reception of the antenna in 
the instrument panel. We advise 
against the use of window tint-
ing on vehicles equipped with 
navigation systems.

1123-5. Tips for operating the navigation system
4RUNNER_Navi_(U)• When driving on a long straight 
road.
• When freeway and surface  streets run in parallel.
• After moving by ferry or vehicle  carrier.
• When a long route is searched  during high speed driving.
• When driving without setting the  current position calibration cor-
rectly.
• After repeating a change of direc- tion by going forward and back-
ward, or turning on a turntable in 
a parking lot.
• When leaving a covered parking  lot or parking garage.
• When a roof carrier is installed.
• When driving with tire chains  installed.
• When the tires are worn.
• After replacing a tire or tires.
• When using tires that are smaller  or larger than the factory specifi-
cations.
• When the tire pressure in any of  the 4 tires is not correct.
 If the vehicle cannot receive 
GPS signals, the current posi-
tion can be adjusted manu-
ally. For information on setting 
the current position calibra-
tion:  P. 1 0 4
 Inappropriate route guidance 
may occur in the following 
cases:
• When turning at an intersection 
off the designated route guid-
ance. • If you set more than 1 destination 
but skip any of them, auto reroute 
will display a rout e returning to 
the destination on the previous 
route.
• When turning at an intersection  for which there is no route guid-
ance.
• When passing through an inter- section for which there is no route 
guidance.
• During auto rer oute, the route 
guidance may not be available for 
the next turn to t he right or left.
• During high speed driving, it may  take a long time fo r auto reroute 
to operate. In auto reroute, a 
detour route may be shown.
• After auto reroute, the route may  not be changed.
• If an unnecessary U-turn is  shown or announced.
• If a location has  multiple names 
and the system announces 1 or 
more of them.
• When a route cannot be  searched.
• If the route to your destination  includes gravel, unpaved roads or 
alleys, the route  guidance may 
not be shown.
• Your destination point might be  shown on the opposite side of the 
street.
• When a portion of the route has  regulations prohibiting the entry 
of the vehicle that vary by time, 
season or other reasons.
• The road and map data stored in  the navigation system may not be 
complete or may not be the latest

version.
 After replacing a tire:  P.104
●This navigation system uses tire 
turning data and is designed to 
work with factory- specified tires 
for the vehicle. Ins talling tires that 
are larger or smaller than the orig-
inally equipped  diameter may 
cause inaccurate display of the 
current position. The tire pressure 
also affects the diameter of the 
tires, so make sure that the tire 
pressure of all 4 tires is correct.

If the map data has been pro-
vided from the Cloud for any of 
the following areas and the map 
data in the navigation system is 
older than what has been pro-
vided, the displayed map will be 
updated temporarily:
• Areas around the area dis-played on the map screen 
(example: areas around cur-
rent position)
• Areas around destinations
• Areas along the set route
●The updated data will temporarily 
be saved in the  navigation sys-
tem.
●If temporary updat e data exceeds 
the available memory in the tem-
porary map cache, the oldest data 
will be deleted.
●The temporary map data will dis-
appear when the expiration date 
has passed.

■Treble/Mid/Bass
How good an audio program 
sounds is largely determined by 
the mix of the treble, mid and 
bass levels. In fact, different 
kinds of music and vocal pro-
grams usually sound better with 
different mixes of treble, mid 
and bass.
1 Select “Treble/Mid/Bass”. 2
Select the desired screen 
button.
Select “+” or “-” to adjust 
high-pitched tones.
Select “+” or “-” to adjust 
mid-pitched tones.
Select “+” or “-” to adjust 
low-pitched tones.
■Fader/Balance
A good balance of the left and 
right stereo channels and of the 
front and rear sound levels is 
also important.
Keep in mind that when listening 
to a stereo recording or broad-
cast, changing the right/left bal-
ance will increase the volume of 
1 group of sounds while 
decreasing the volume of 
another.
