This manual explains the opera-
tion of the system. Please read
this manual carefully to ensure
proper use. Keep this manual in
your vehicle at all times.
The screens shown in this man-
ual may differ from the actual
screen of the system depending
on availability of functions, con-
nected services subscription
status, and map data available
at the time this manual was pro-
duced.
The screens in this manual will
also differ if the screen theme
settings have been changed.
(Theme setting: P. 6 7 )
In some situations when chang-
ing between screens, it may
take longer than normal for the
screen to change, the screen
may be blank momentarily or
noise may be displayed.
Please be aware that the con-
tent of this manual may be dif-
ferent from the system in some
cases, such as when the sys-
tem’s software is updated.
The company names and prod-
uct names appearing on this
manual are trademarks and reg-
istered trademarks of their
respective companies. The 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 indicates
your present position and
assists in locating a desired des-
tination.
The navigation system is
designed to select efficient
routes from your present start-
ing location to your destination.
The system is also designed to
direct you to a destination that is
unfamiliar to you in an efficient
manner. The system uses AISIN
AW maps. The calculated routes
may not be the shortest nor the
least traffic congested. Your own
personal local knowledge or
“short cut” may at times be
faster than the calculated
routes.
The navigation system’s data-
base includes Point of Interest
categories to allow you to easily
select destinat
ions such as
restaurants and hotels. If a des-
tination is not in the database,
you can enter the street address
