The map scale can be changed by pushing
the zoom in/out buttons of the navigation
controller to the
“+” (zoom in) side or to
the “” (zoom out) side while the map is
displayed and while guiding as well. The
scale runs from 1/32nd of a mile to 128
miles. Push and release the zoom in/out
buttons to the
“+” side or “” side to
change the scale one step at a time. Push
and hold either button to zoom in or out
smoothly.
The map scale is displayed under the
North−up symbol or Heading −up symbol
at the top left of the screen.
If you wish to look at a different point on the
map other than your current vehicle posi-
tion, you can bring the desired point to the
center of the screen by using the scroll fea-
ture.
Move the cursor mark
to the point you
desire by operating the select and scroll le-
ver of the navigation controller. Push the
“ENTER” button on the navigation con-
troller, and select the
“Enter ” switch.
If you continue to hold the lever by your fin-
ger on the navigation controller, the map
will continue scrolling in that direction until
you lift your finger.
After scrolling the screen, the map remains
centered at the selected location until you
push the
“MAP/VOICE” button. The
current vehicle position mark will continue
to move along your actual route and may
move off the screen. When you push the
“MAP/VOICE” button, the current ve-
hicle position mark returns to the center of
the screen and the map moves as you pro-
ceed on your route.
INFORMATION
If you enter a destination using the
screen scrolling function, the road
nearest to the point you selected is
set as the destination. At this time, if
the nearest road is over 4 miles from
destination point, the system may not
be able to calculate a guidance route.

3. When there are 2 map screens dis-
played to switch the Northup/Head-
ingup of the right screen map, select
the
“Right screen” switch.
4. Select the “Map orient.” of the
“Edit right screen”, and then the North
up/Headingup of the right screen is
switched.
When 2 map screens are displayed, you
can set one as the North −up and the other
one as the Heading −up. This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However, an accurate posi-
tion may not be shown depending on
the satellite condition, road configura-
tion, vehicle condition or other circum-
stances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense provides an accurate cur-
rent vehicle position, normally using 4 or
more s
atellites, and in some cases 3 satel-
lites. The GPS system has a certain level
of inaccuracy built in for security reasons.
While the navigation system will compen-
sate for this most of the time, occasional
positioning errors of up to 300 feet (100 m)
can and should be expected. Generally,
position errors will be corrected within a
few seconds.
Limitations of the navigation
system

BASIC FUNCTIONS

When your vehicle is not receiving signals
from the satellites, the “GPS” mark does
not appear at the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically ob-
structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle
position on the map display. Tunnels, tall
buildings, trucks, or even the placement of
objects on the instrument panel may ob-
struct the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not send signals
due to repairs or improvements being
made to them.
Even when the navigation system is re-
ceiving good GPS signals, the vehicle
position may not be shown accurately or
inappropriate route guidance may occur in
some cases.
NOTICE
The installation of window tinting
may obstruct the GPS signals. Most
window tinting contains some metal-
lic content that will interfere with GPS
signal reception of the antenna in the
instrument panel. We advise against
the use of window tinting on vehicles
equipped with navigation systems.
(a) Accurate current vehicle position
may not be shown in the following
cases:
When driving on a small angled Y−
shaped road.
When driving on a spiral road.
When driving on a slippery road such
as in sand, gravel, snow, etc.
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 cur-
rent position calibration correctly.
After repeating a change of directions
by going forward and backward, or
turning on a turntable in the parking lot.
When leaving a covered parking lot or
parking garage.
When a roof carrier is installed.
When driving with the 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 specifications.
When the tire pressure in any of the
four tires is not correct.
INFORMATION
If your vehicle cannot receive GPS
signals, you can correct the current
position manually. For the informa-
tion on setting the current position
calibration, see page 95.

(b) Inappropriate route guidance may
occur in the following cases:
When turning at a wrong intersection
off the designated route guidance.
If you are heading for a destination
without passing through a set preferred
road, automatic rerouting may display
a route returning to the set preferred
road.
When turning at an intersection for
which there is no route guidance.
When passing through an intersection
for which there is no route guidance.
During automatic rerouting, the route
guidance may not be available for the
next turn to the right or left.
It may take a long time to operate auto-
matic rerouting during high speed dri-
ving. In automatic rerouting, a detour
route may be shown.
During automatic rerouting, the route
may not be changed.
The route in a U− turn may be shown or
announced.
A location may have multiple names
and the system will announce one or
more.
Some routes may not 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 regula-
tions prohibiting the entry of the vehicle
that vary by time or season or other
reasons.
The road and map data stored in your
navigation system may not be com-
plete or may not be the latest release. After replacing the tire, implement the
operation described in the “Current
position calibration”. (For details, see
page 95.)
This navigation system uses tire turning
data
and is designed to work with factory −
specified tires for your Toyota. Installing
tires that are larger or smaller than the orig-
inally equipped diameter may cause inac-
curate display of the vehicle’s position.
The tire pressure also affects the diameter
of the tires so please make sure the tire
pressure of all four tires is correct.
