1143-5. Tips for operating the navigation system
3-5.Tips for operating 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.

1514-6. Tips for operating the audio/visual system

Audio/visual system
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), 
WMA (Windows Media Audio) 
and AAC (Advanced Audio 
Coding) are audio compres-
sion standards.
 This system can play 
MP3/WMA/AAC files on USB 
memory.
 MP4, WMV and AVI files can 
use the following resolutions: 
128x96, 160x120, 176x144 
(QCIF), 320x240 (QVGA), 
352x240 (SIF), 352x288 
(CIF), 640x480 (VGA), 
720x480 (NTSC), 720x576 
(PAL)
 When naming an 
MP3/WMA/AAC file, add an 
appropriate file extension 
(.mp3/.wma/.m4a).
 This system plays back files 
with .mp3/.wma/.m4a file 
extensions as 
MP3/WMA/AAC files respec-
tively. To prevent noise and 
playback errors, use the 
appropriate file extension.
 MP3 files are compatible with 
the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, 
Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3 formats. 
This system cannot display  disc title, track title and artist 
name in other formats.
 WMA/AAC files can contain a 
WMA/AAC tag that is used in 
the same way as an ID3 tag. 
WMA/AAC tags carry infor-
mation such as track title and 
artist name.
 The emphasis function is 
available only when playing 
MP3 files.
 This system can play back 
AAC files encoded by iTunes.
 The sound quality of 
MP3/WMA files generally 
improves with higher bit rates.
 m3u playlists are not compati-
ble with the audio player.
 MP3i (MP3 interactive) and 
MP3PRO formats are not 
compatible with the audio 
player.
 The player is compatible with 
VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
 When playing back files 
recorded as VBR (Variable Bit 
Rate) files, the play time will 
not be correctly displayed if 
the fast forward or reverse 
operations are used.
 It is not possible to check fold-
ers that do not include 
MP3/WMA/AAC files.
 MP3/WMA/AAC files in fold-
ers up to 8 levels deep can be 
played. However, the start of 
playback may be delayed

Audio/visual system
■ID3 tag
 This is a method of embed- ding track related information 
in an MP3 file. This embed-
ded information can include 
the track number, track title, 
the artist’s name, the album 
title, the music genre, the year 
of production, comments, 
cover art and other data. The 
contents can be freely edited 
using software with ID3 tag 
editing functions. Although 
the tags are restricted to a 
number of characters, the 
information can be viewed 
when the track is played back.
■WMA tag
 WMA files can contain a 
WMA tag that is used in the 
same way as an ID3 tag. 
WMA tags carry information 
such as track title and artist 
name.
■MP3
 MP3 is an audio compression 
standard determined by a 
working group (MPEG) of the 
ISO (International Standard 
Organization). MP3 com-
presses audio data to about 
1/10 the size of that on con-
ventional discs.
■WMA
 WMA (Windows Media Audio) 
is an audio compression for-
mat developed by Microsoft
®. 
It compresses files into a size 
smaller than that of MP3 files.

Audio/visual system
MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER3) is 
a standard audio compression 
format. Files can be com-
pressed to approximately 1/10 
of their original size by using 
MP3 compression.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is 
a Microsoft audio compression 
format. This format compresses 
audio data to a size smaller than 
that of the MP3 format.
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) 
is a standardized the audio com-
pression type that is designed to 
be the successor of the MP3 for-
mat. AAC generally achieves 
good sound quality and high-
compression than MP3 at simi-
lar bit rates.
There is a limit to the MP3, 
WMA and AAC file standards 
and to the media/formats 
recorded by them that can be 
used.

used in the front seats, the 
Wi-Fi
® connection in the rear 
seats is canceled. As a result, 
DLNA cannot be used.

■Steering switchTa l k   s w i t c h
Voice command system:
• Press the talk switch to start the  voice command system. To can-
cel voice command, press and 
hold the talk switch.
When an Apple CarPlay/Android 
Auto connection is established:
• Press and hold the talk switch to  start Siri/Google Assistant. To 
cancel Siri/Google Assistant, 
press the talk switch.
• Press the talk switch to start the  voice command system.
■Microphone
 It is unnecessary to speak 
directly into the microphone 
when giving a command.
●Voice commands may not be rec-
ognized if:
• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The roof or windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while  voice commands are spoken.
• The fan speed of the air condition-
ing system is set at high.
• The air conditioning vents are  turned towards the microphone.
●In the following c onditions, the 
system may not  recognize the 
command properly and using 
voice commands may not be pos-
sible:
• The command is incorrect or  unclear. Note that certain words, 
accents or speech patterns may 
be difficult for the system to recog-
nize.
• There is excessive background 
noise, such as wind noise.
●Normally, it is necessary to wait 
for a beep before saying a com-
mand. To enable th e ability to talk 
over prompts and say commands 
before the beep, enable the voice 
prompt interrupt function. ( P. 6 4 )
●This system may not operate 
immediately after the engine 
switch is in ACC or ON.
