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

close to it and the system will 
guide you there.
The system will provide both a 
visual map and audio instruc-
tions. The audio instructions will 
announce the distance remain-
ing and the direction to turn in 
when approaching an intersec-
tion. These voice instructions 
will help you keep your eyes on 
the road and are timed to pro-
vide 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 ability to perform 
properly. The accuracy of the 
vehicle’s position depends on 
satellite conditions, road config-
uration, vehicle condition or 
other circumstances. For more 
information on the limitations of 
the system, refer to page 129.

3-5.Tips for 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.
