sensor TOYOTA PRIUS 2006 2.G Navigation Manual

i
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 vehicl\
e accessories ever developed. The system receives sate llite
signals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) operated by the U.S. \
Department of Defense. Using these signals and other veh icle
sensors, the system indicates your present position and assists in locating a de\
sired destination.
The navigation system is designed to select efficient routes from your present starting 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 DENSO 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 fa\
ster than the calculated
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 stre\
et 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 audi\
o instructions will announce the distance remaining and the direction
to turn in approaching an intersection. These voice instructions will h\
elp 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 limitatio\
ns 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 \
108 through 109.
