Lexus RX 330 Navigation Manual

Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the Navigation System. Please read this manual carefully to ensure proper use. Keep this manual
stored in your vehicle at all times.

The Lexus 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 can show you where you are and assist you 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 based on NAVTECH maps,
GDT maps and infoUSA POIs. The calculated routes are neither the shortest routes nor routes without traffic congestion. Y our own personal
local knowledge or “short cut” may at times be faster than the calculated routes.

The navigation system’s database includes more than 50 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 route you there. The system will provide both a visual map and audio instructions. The audio instructions will announce the distance and
direction to go when you are 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 53 through 55.

Safety Introduction

0UE003

T o use your system as safely as possible, 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 you are driving should al­ways be the safe operation of your vehicle.
While you are driving, be sure to observe all
traffic regulations.

Before attempting to use this system while
you are driving, learn how to use it and be­come thoroughly familiar with it. Read the
entire Navigation System Manual to make
sure you understand the system. Do not al­low others to use this system until they have
read and understood these and other 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.

CAUTION

 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.

 While you are driving, be sure to

follow the traffic regulations and
keep the road condition in mind. 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 the
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, don’t drive into it. Under no circum-

stances is th i s s y stem 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 built
in for security reasons. While the navigation
system will compensate for this most of the
time, occasional positioning errors up to 300
feet can and should be expected. Generally ,
position errors will be corrected within a few
seconds.

1UE087a

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
recommend not to use the 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 good GPS signals, the vehicle position
may not be shown accurately or inappropri­ate route guidance may occur in some
cases.

53

Limitations of the Navigation System

(a) Accurate current vehicle
position may not be shown in the
following cases:

 When driving on a small angled Y-

shaped road.

 When driving on a spiral road.
 When driving on a slippery road such as

in sand, gravel, snow, etc.

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

parallel.

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

speed driving.

 When driving without setting the current

position calibration correctly.

 After repeating a change of directions by

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

 When leaving a covered parking lot or

parking garage.

 When a roof carrier is installed.
 When driving with the tire chains installed.
 When the tires are worn.

 After replacing a tire or tires.
 When using tires that are smaller or larger

than the factory specifications.

 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 the information on
setting the current position calibration,
see page 80.

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

 When turning at a wrong intersection off

the designated route guidance

 If you set more than one destination, auto

reroute will display a route returning to the
destination on the previous route when
you try to skip any of the destinations.

 When turning at an intersection, there is

no route guidance.

 When passing through the intersection,

there is no route guidance.

 During automatic rerouting, the route

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

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

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

 After auto reroute, the route may not be

changed.

 An unnecessary U-turn may be shown or

announced.

 A location may have multiple names and

the system will announce one or more.

54

Limitations of the Navigation System

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

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

 Your destination point might be shown on

the opposite side of the street.

 When a portion of the route has regula-

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

 The road and map data stored in your

navigation system may not be complete
or may not be the latest release.

When replacing the tire(s), do the calibra­tion. See page 80 for detailed information.

around metropolitan centers, detailed
route guidance is available for the entire
area. In t h e o t h e r t ype 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
