NOTICE

WARNING

however, to discontinue or change specifications or design at any time without notice and without incurring any obligation.

Accessories Precautions

The GPS antenna is located in the dashboard. Metallic front or side window tinting can seriously degrade or obstruct GPS reception.

Signal noise from devices such as radar detectors, vehicle tracking devices, remote starters, and additional amplifiers can disrupt the navigation system. If you install any such item, install it away from the navigation display and antenna.

Important Safety Information

Using the navigation system while driving can take your attention away from the road, causing a crash in which you could be seriously injured or killed.

Only operate system controls when the conditions permit you to safely do so.

Avoid focusing on the screen or manually operating the system controls while driving.

Certain on-screen controls are disabled when driving, however most of the voice commands continue to function. Pull to the side of the road if you need to devote more attention and time to look at the screen or access additional menus.

Route guidance may conflict with street closures, road construction, detours, and out-of-date map data.

The system itself may also have limitations. Verify route information by carefully observing roads, signs, and signals. Always use your own judgment and obey traffic laws.

System Limitations

This vehicle’s navigation display, if so equipped, includes mercury-containing components. Upon removal, please reuse, recycle, or dispose of as hazardous waste.

Clean the screen with a soft, damp cloth. You may use a mild cleaner intended for use on navigation screens.

Troubleshooting

For more Information

(P123)

Why does the vehicle position icon on the map appear slightly off my actual position, especially at intersections?

This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the width of intersections. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.

Why does the “Arrival time” display sometimes increase even though I am getting closer to my destination?

The “Arrival time” is based on the speed limit on each road. Depending on the traffic conditions, the “arrival time” may be calculated to be earlier or later.

Why does my clock frequently change the time forward and backward by one hour?

The clock setting is automatically updated based on your GPS location. If you are driving near a time zone border, the automatic update likely is the reason.

How do I turn on the navigation system voice guidance?

Press the (Home) icon. Select Settings > System > Sound/Beep tab. Turn up Guidance Volume, if guidance volume is low.

Select and then press the (Back) icon. Select Settings > Navigation. Check that Voice Prompts is not set to off. For more details, see the Owner’s Manual.

How do I specify a destination when an entered city or street could not be found?

Try selecting the destination directly from the map.
