To search for an address or a name, touch theListº switch. Matching items from the da-
tabase are listed even if the entered address
or name is incomplete.
If the number of matches is four or less, the list
is displayed without touching the
Listº
switch.

If appears to the right of the
item name, the complete name is
too long for the display. Touch
to scroll to the end of the name.
Touch to scroll to the
beginning of the name.Current position display
When starting the navigation system, the cur-
rent position is displayed first.
This screen displays the current vehicle posi-
tion and a map of the surrounding local area.
The current vehicle position mark appears in
the center or bottom center of the map
screen. You can return to this map screen
showing your current position at any time
from any screen by pushing the
MAPº but-
ton.
During driving, the current vehicle position
mark is fixed in the screen and the map
moves.The current position is automatically set as
your vehicle receives signals from the GPS
(Global Positioning System). If your current
position is not correct, it is automatically cor-
rected after your vehicle receives signals
from the GPS.
INFORMATION

After the battery disconnection, or on
a new vehicle, the current position
may not be correct. As soon as the
system receives signals from the
GPS, the correct current position is
displayed.

To correct the current position manu-
ally, see page 77.

BASIC FUNCTIONS

Screen scroll operation
(one-touch scroll)
Touch any point on the map and that point
moves to the center of the screen and is
shown by the cursor mark.
If you wish to look at a point on the map which
is different to your current vehicle position,
you can bring the desired point to the center
of the screen by using the scroll feature.
If you continue to hold your finger on the
screen, the map will continue scrolling in that
direction until you lift your finger.After you scroll the screen, the map remains
centered at the selected location until you ac-
tivate another function. The current vehicle
position mark will continue to move along
your actual route and may move off the
screen. When you push the
MAPº button,
the current vehicle position mark returns to
the center of the screen and the map moves
as you proceed along the designated route.
INFORMATION
When you use the one-touch scroll fea-
ture, the current vehicle position mark
may disappear from the screen. Move
the map with a one-touch scroll again or
push the
MAPº button to return to the
current vehicle position map location
display.

To set the cursor position as a destina-
tion
You can set a specific point on the map as a
destination using the one-touch scroll func-
tion.
Touch the Enter º switch.
The screen changes and displays the map
location of the selected destination and
the route preference. (See  Ð Entering
destinationº on page 38.)
If there is already a preset destination, touch
the
Add to º switch or the Replace
º switch.
When there is already a preset destination,
using the
Add to º switch to set an addi-
tional destination, will set the new one as the
first point of arrival.

Map scale
Touch the or switch to change
the scale of the map display. The scale bar
and indicator at the bottom of the screen indi-
cates the map scale menu. The scale ranges

up symbol or heading-up symbol at the top
left of the screen.
INFORMATION
When the map scale is at the maximum
range of 250 miles (400 km), is not
shown. When the map scale is at the
minimum range of 150 feet (50 m),
is not shown. However, in the area
where the foot print map is contained,
when the map scale is changed to 150
feet (50 m), the switch changes to
the switch.

Orientation of the map
North-up screen
Heading-up screenYou can change the orientation of the map
from north-up to heading-up by touching
the orientation symbol at the top left of the
screen.
North-up symbol
Regardless of the direction of vehicle travel,
North is always up.
Heading-up symbol
The direction of vehicle travel is always up.
A red arrow indicates North.
Limitations of the navigation
system
This navigation system calculates the cur-
rent vehicle position using satellite sig-
nals, various vehicle signals, map data,
etc. However, the accurate position may
not be shown depending on the satellite
condition, road configuration, vehicle
condition or other circumstances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) devel-
oped and operated by the U.S. Department of
Defense provides an accurate current vehicle
position using 3 to 4 satellites. The GPS sys-
tem has a certain level of inaccuracy. While
the navigation system will compensate for
this most of the time, occasional positioning
errors up to 300 feet (100 m) can and should
be expected. Generally, position errors will
be corrected within a few seconds.

BASIC FUNCTIONS
10
When your vehicle is receiving signals from
the satellites, the GPSº mark appears at the
top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically ob-
structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle posi-
tion on the map display. Tunnels, tall build-
ings, trucks, or even the placement of objects
on the instrument panel may obstruct the
GPS signals.
The installation of window tinting may also ob-
struct the GPS signals. Most window tinting
contains some metallic content that will inter-
fere with the GPS signal reception. We ad-
vice against the use of window tinting on ve-
hicles equipped with navigation systems.
The GPS satellites may not send signals due
to repairs or improvements being made to
them.Even when the navigation system is receiving
clear GPS signals, the vehicle position may
not be shown accurately or inappropriate
route guidance may occur in some cases.
(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 winding 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 current
position calibration correctly.

After repeating a change of direction 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 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.
