Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Navigation System. Please read this manual carefully to ensure proper use. Keep this manual
in your vehicle at all times.
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 destination.
The navigation system is designed to select efficient routes from your present starting location to your destination. The system is designed
to direct you to a destination that is unfamiliar to you in an efficient manner. The system uses the maps of DENSO. 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 calcu-
lated routes.
The navigation system’s database includes about 75 Point of Interest categories to allow you to easily select destinations such as restaurants
and banks. If a destination is not in the database, you can enter the street address or a major intersection close to it and the system will guide
you there. The system will provide both a visual map and audio instructions. The audio instructions will announce the distance remaining
and the direction to turn in approaching a fork or intersection. These voice instructions will help you keep your eyes on the road and are 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 limitations that may affect their ability to perform properly.
The accuracy of the vehicle’s position depends on the satellite condition, road configuration, vehicle condition or other circumstan-
ces. For more information on the limitations of the system, refer to pages 9 through 11.

Safety Instruction
To use your system in the safest possible
manner, follow all the safety tips shown be-
low.
This system is intended to assist you in
reaching your destination and, if used prop-
erly, can do so. You, as the driver, are solely
responsible for the safe operation of your ve-
hicle and the safety of your passengers.
Do not use any feature of this system to the
extent it distracts you from safe driving. Your
first priority while driving should always be
the safe operation of your vehicle. While you
are driving, be sure to observe all traffic regu-
lations.Prior to the actual use of this system, learn
how to use it and become thoroughly familiar
with it. Read the entire Navigation System
Owner’s Manual to make sure you under-
stand the system. Do not allow others to use
this system until they have read and under-
stood the instructions in this manual.
For your safety, some functions may become
inoperable when you start driving. Unavail-
able switches are dimmed. You can input
your destination and select your route only
when the vehicle is not moving.
CAUTION
For safety, the driver should not
operate the navigation system while
he/she is driving. Inattention to the
road and traffic may cause an
accident.
While you are driving, be sure to
obey the traffic regulations and
maintain awareness of the road
conditions. If a traffic sign on the
road has been changed, route
guidance may provide wrong
information such as the direction of
a one way street.

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 touching the
“MAP/
VOICE”
button.
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.

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.

10
When your vehicle is receiving signals from
the satellites, the “GPS” 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 posi-
tion may not be shown in the fol-
lowing 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.

11
When the tire pressure in any of the four
tires is not correct.
INFORMATION
If your vehicle cannot receive GPS sig-
nals, you can correct the current posi-
tion manually. For information on set-
ting the current position calibration, see
page 77.
(b) Inappropriate route guidance
may occur in the following cases:
When turning at an intersection off the
designated route guidance.
If you set more than one destination but
skip any of them, auto reroute will display
a route returning to the destination on the
previous route.
When turning at an intersection, there is
no route guidance.
When passing through the intersection,
there is no route guidance.
During auto reroute, 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 re-
route during high speed driving. In auto
reroute, a detour route may be shown.
After auto reroute, the route may not be
changed.
An unnecessary 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 rea-
son.
The road and map data stored in your nav-
igation system may not be complete or
may not be the latest version.
After replacing the tire, implement the op-
eration described in the “ Tire change
calibration”. (For details, see page 78.)
This navigation system uses the tire turning
data and is designed to work with factory−
specified tires for your vehicle. Installing tires
that are larger or smaller than the originally
equipped diameter may cause inaccurate
display of the vehicle’s position. The tire pres-
sure also affects the diameter of the tires so
please make sure the tire pressure of all four
tires is correct.
