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 si gnals 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 syste m is
designed to direct you to a destination that is unfamiliar to you in an efficient manner. Map database is made based on the map s, 2001
edition of DENSO, whose information source comes from NavTech maps and GDT maps. 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 hotels. 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 y our 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 ab ility to perform
properly. The accuracy of the vehicle’s position depends on the satellite c ondition, road configuration, vehicle condition or
other circumstances. For more information on the limitations of the system, refer to pages 49 through 51.

Safety Instruction
To use your system as safely as possible,
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 opera-
tion 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 driv-
ing. Your first priority while you are driving
should always be the safe operation of
your vehicle. While you are driving, be
sure to observe all traffic regulations.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 Owner ’s
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 acci-
dent.
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 pro-
vide wrong information such as the
direction of a one way street.
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 infor-
mation. If the system cannot determine
your current position correctly, there is a
possibility of incorrect, late or non
−voice
guidance.
