Lexus GS 430 Navigation Manual

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 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 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 circumstan­ces. 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 be­low.

This system is intended to assist you in
reaching your destination and, if used prop­erly, can do so. You, as the driver, are solely
responsible for the safe operation of your ve­hicle 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 regu­lations.

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 under­stand the system. Do not allow others to use
this system until they have read and under­stood the instructions in this manual.

For your safety, some functions may become
inoperable when you start driving. Unavail­able switches are dimmed. You can input
your destination and select your route only
when the vehicle is not moving.

iv

CAUTION

D 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.

D 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.

While you are driving, listen to the voice in­structions as much as possible and glance at
the screen briefly and only when it is safe.
However, do not totally rely on voice gui­dance. Use it just for your information. If t h e
system cannot determine your current posi­tion correctly, there is a possibility of incor­rect, late or non−voice guidance.

The data in the system may occasionally be
incomplete. Road conditions, including driv­ing restrictions (no left turns, street closures,
etc.) frequently change. Therefore, before
you follow any instruction from the system,
look to see whether you can comply with the
instruction safely and legally.

This system cannot warn you about such
things as the safety of an area, condition of
streets, and availability of emergency servi­ces. If you are unsure about the safety of an
area, do not drive into it. Under no circum-

stances is this system a substitute for the
driver’s personal judgement.

Use this system only in locations where it is
legal to do so. Some states/provinces may
have laws prohibiting video screens within
sight of the driver.

Limitations of the navigation
system

This navigation system calculates the cur­rent vehicle position using satellite sig­nals, 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) devel­oped and operated by the U.S. Department of
Defense provides an accurate current vehicle
position using 3 to 4 satellites. The GPS sys­tem has a certain level of inaccuracy. While
the navigation system will compensate for
this most of the time, occasional positioning
errors of up to 300 feet (100 m) can and
should be expected. Generally, position er­rors will be corrected within a few seconds.

9

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 ob­structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle posi­tion on the map display. Tunnels, tall build­ings, trucks, or even the placement of objects
on the instrument panel may obstruct the
GPS signals.

The installation of window tinting may also ob­struct the GPS signals. Most window tinting
contains some metallic content that will inter­fere with the GPS signal reception. We ad­vice against the use of window tinting on ve­hicles 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 posi­tion may not be shown in the fol­lowing cases:

D When driving on a small angled Y−shaped

road.

D When driving on a winding road.
D When driving on a slippery road such as

in sand, gravel, snow, etc.

D When driving on a long straight road.
D When freeway and surface streets run in

parallel.

D After moving by ferry or vehicle carrier.
D When a long route is searched during high

speed driving.

D When driving without setting the current

position calibration correctly.

D After repeating a change of direction by

going forward and backward, or turning on
a turntable in the parking lot.

D When leaving a covered parking lot or

parking garage.

D When a roof carrier is installed.
D When driving with tire chains installed.
D When the tires are worn.
D After replacing a tire or tires.
D When using tires that are smaller or larger

than the factory specifications.

10

D When the tire pressure in any of the four

tires is not correct.

INFORMATION

If your vehicle cannot receive GPS sig­nals, you can correct the current posi­tion manually. For information on set­ting the current position calibration, see
page 77.

(b) Inappropriate route guidance
may occur in the following cases:

D When turning at an intersection off the

designated route guidance.

D 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.

D When turning at an intersection for which

there is no route guidance.

D When passing through an intersection for

which there is no route guidance.

D During auto reroute, the route guidance

may not be available for the next turn to
the right or left.

D It may take a long time to operate auto re-

route during high speed driving. In auto
reroute, a detour route may be shown.

D After auto reroute, the route may not be

changed.

D An unnecessary U−turn may be shown or

announced.

D A location may have multiple names and

the system will announce one or more.

D Some routes may not be searched.
D If the route to your destination includes

gravel, unpaved roads or alleys, the route
guidance may not be shown.

D Your destination point might be shown on

the opposite side of the street.

D When a portion of the route has regula-

tions prohibiting the entry of the vehicle
that vary by time or season or other rea­son.

D 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 op­eration described in the “D 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 pres­sure also affects the diameter of the tires so
please make sure the tire pressure of all four
tires is correct.

There are two types of areas available for
route guidance. In one type of area, pri­marily around metropolitan centers, de­tailed route guidance is available for the
entire area. In the other type of area, all
roads are displayed on the map but route
guidance is limited. The navigation route
might lack precision because the data (no
right turns, one−way traffic, etc.) is not
complete. It is still possible to reach the
destination by following the arrow direc­tion and distance as shown on the bottom
left of the screen. The arrow points in the
direction of the destination. The distance
shown is as measured in a straight line
from the current vehicle position to the
destination area.

In order to provide you with as accurate map
information as possible, we are always gath­ering information such as on road repairs and
carrying out on−site investigations. However ,
the names of roads, streets, facilities, and
their locations are often changed. In some
places, construction on roads may be in pro­gress. For that reason, information on some
areas in this system might be different from
the actual location.
