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 on the roof. Trees, tall buildings, highway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead electrical power wires can easily interrupt or interfere 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Route guidance may conflict with street closures, road construction, detours, and out-of-date map data.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.

Quick Reference Guide
Troubleshooting
For more Information
(P69)
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.
●
You can set time manually. Press the (Home)
button and then select Settings > System > Date &
Time > Set Date & Time > Set Time. Adjust hours
and minutes.
For more information, see the Owner's Manual.
How do I turn on the navigation system voice guidance?
●
Adjust the volume using the volume knob during the
voice guidance.
●
Press the (Home) button.
Select Navigation > MENU > Voice Guidance
Volume. Turn up the volume if it is low.
How do I specify a destination when an entered city or
street could not be found?
Try selecting the destination directly from the map.
