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 vehi\
cle accessories ever developed. The system receiv es satellite
signals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) operated by the U. S. Department of Defense. Using these signals and other vehicle \
sen-
sors, the system can show you where you are and assist you in locating a desi\
red destination.
The navigation system is designed to select efficient routes from your present starting location to your destination. \
The syst em is designed
to direct you to a destination that is unfamiliar to you in an efficient manner. The routes are generated from a large database that includes
all roads contained in AAA state maps along with detailed street coverage f\
or many major metropolitan areas. The calculated rou tes are neither
the shortest routes nor routes without traffic congestion. Your own personal local knowledge or ºshort cutº may at times be fas ter than the
calculated routes.
The navigation system's database includes 53 point of interest categories to allow you to easi\
ly select destinations such as re staurants and
banks. If a destination is not in the database, you can enter the stree\
t 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 instruction\
s. The audio instructions will announce the distance and direction
to go when you are approaching a fork or intersection. These voice inst\
ructions will help you keep your eyes on the road and a re 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 limitatio\
ns that may affect their ability to perform properly.
The accuracy of the vehicle's position depends on the satellite condition, road configuration, vehic\
le condition or other circum-
stances. For more information on the limitations of the system, refer to pages \
35 through 37.

You can change the orientation of the
map from North- up to Heading- up by
touching the direction 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 the vehicle travel is always
up. A red arrow indicates North. This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However, an accurate position
may not be shown depending on the sat-
ellite condition, road configuration, ve-
hicle condition or other circumstances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) devel-
oped and operated by the U.S. Department
of Defense provides an accurate current ve-
hicle position using 3 to 4 satellites. The
GPS system has a certain level of inaccura-
cy built in for security reasons. While the
navigation system will compensate for this
most of the time, occasional positioning er-
rors up to 300 feet can and should be ex-
pected. Generally, position errors
will be cor-
rected within a few seconds.

When your vehicle is receiving signals from
the satellites, the ºGPSº 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
obstruct the GPS signals. Most window tint-
ing contains some metallic content that will
interfere with the GPS signal reception. We
recommend not to use 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 receiv-
ing good GPS signals, the vehicle position
may not be shown accurately or inappropri-
ate route guidance may occur in some
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 current
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.
