Introduction
CAUTION
When a route is calculated, the route and voice
guidance for the route are automatically set.
Also, for day or time traffic regulations, only information about traffic regulations applicable at the
time when the route was calculated is considered. One-way streets and street closures may
not be taken into consideration. For example, if a
street is open during the morning only, but you
arrive later, it would be against the traffic regulations so you cannot drive along the set route.
When driving, please follow the actual traffic
signs. Also, the system may not know some traffic regulations.
Before using your navigation system, be sure
to read and fully understand the following
safety information:
! Read the entire manual before operating
this navigation system.
! This navigation system may in certain cir-
cumstances display inaccurate position of
your vehicle, the distance of objects shown
on the screen, and compass directions. In
addition, the system has certain limitations, including the inability to identify oneway streets, temporary traffic restrictions
and potentially unsafe driving areas. Please
exercise your own judgement in the light of
actual driving conditions.
! The navigation features of your navigation
system (and rear view camera option if purchased) are intended solely as an aid to
you in the operation of your vehicle. It is
not a substitute for your attentiveness, judgement, and care when driving.
! Certain country and government laws may
prohibit or restrict the placement and use
of this system in your vehicle. Please comply with all applicable laws and regulations
regarding the use, installation and operation of your navigation system.
! Do not operate this navigation system (or
the rear view camera option if purchased) if
doing so will divert your attention in any
way from the safe operation of your vehicle.
Always observe safe driving rules and fol-
low all existing traffic regulations. If you experience difficulty in operating the system
or reading the display, park your vehicle in
a safe location and apply the handbrake before making the necessary adjustments.
! Never allow others to use the system un-
less they have read and understood the operating instructions.
! Never use this navigation system to route
to hospitals, police stations or similar facilities in an emergency. Stop using any functions relating to the hands-free phoning
and please call the appropriate emergency
number.
! Route and guidance information displayed
by this equipment is for reference purposes
only. It may not accurately reflect the latest
permissible routes, road conditions, one
way streets, road closures, or traffic restrictions.
! Traffic restrictions and advisories currently
in force should always take precedence
over guidance given by the navigation system. Always obey current traffic restrictions, even if the navigation system
provides contrary advice.
! Failure to set correct information about the
local time may result in the navigation system providing improper routing and guidance instructions.
! Never set the volume of your navigation
system so high that you cannot hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles.
! The data encoded in the built-in memory is
the intellectual property of the provider, and
the provider is responsible for such content.
! Keep this manual handy as a reference for
operating procedures and safety information.
! Pay close attention to all warnings in this

match the actual speed limit of the current
road. This is not a definite value. Be sure to
drive according to the actual speed limit.
Lorry navigation
p This function is only available on AVIC-
F160.
! Based on the dimensions and other en-
tered parameters of your vehicle, this sys-
tem warns you when you are approaching
a restricted road segment or such roads
must be used in your route.
! Warnings are both visual and audible.
There are different kinds of warnings:
! When approaching a restricted road
segment without a route, you are
warned that there is a restricted area
ahead.
! Restricted road segments are excluded
from your routes but in some cases
some restricted roads need to be used
to reach the given destination. In this
case you receive a warning and you
must accept that you have restricted
roads in your route or you can stop the
navigation and continue without an active route.
p Please note that lorry navigation is only as
accurate and comprehensive as the restrictions received with the map. Restrictions
may not cover lower priority roads and in
most cases the coverage changes as you
move around your map region. You are obliged to always obey the restrictions displayed on the road.

roads as well to save fuel.
p This item is available for AVIC-F160

! Easy:
Results in a route with fewer turns and
no difficult manoeuvres. With this option, you can make this system to take,
for example, the motorway instead of a
series of smaller roads or streets.
Changing road types used
To recalculate the current route with different
road type preferences, follow the steps below.
p To let the route fit your needs, you can also
set which road types are to be considered
for or to be excluded from the route if possible. Excluding a road type is a preference. It
does not necessarily mean total prohibition.
p If your destination can only be accessed
using some of the excluded road types,
they will be used but only as much as necessary. In this case a warning icon will be
shown on the route parameter, and the part
of the route not matching your preference
will be displayed in a different colour on

Using traffic information
p When the traffic data is available, a 2D map
is displayed with road segments coloured
by the density of the traffic in the given period.
p You can modify the day of week and the
time of day to see the desired period.
p You can disable this feature on public holi-
days, for example, in order not to take into
account normal weekday traffic jams.
p When traffic information that may affect
your route is received, this system will warn
you that it is recalculating the route, and
navigation will continue with a new route
that is optimal considering the most up-todate traffic conditions.
To fine-tune this calculation, you can set the
minimum delay that can trigger a route recalculation, or you can instruct the software to
have you confirm the new recommended
route before it takes effect. You can set these

Important safeguards
WARNING
Pioneer does not recommend that you install
your navigation system yourself. This product is designed for professional installation
only. We recommend that only authorised
Pioneer service personnel, who have special
training and experience in mobile electronics, set up and install this product. NEVER
SERVICE THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF. Installing or servicing this product and its connecting cables may expose you to the risk of
electric shock or other hazards, and can
cause damage to the navigation system that
is not covered by warranty.
! Read this manual fully and carefully before
installing your navigation system.
! As with any accessory in your vehicle’s in-
terior, the navigation system should not divert your attention from the safe operation
of your vehicle as it may result in serious
injury or death. If you experience difficulty
in operating the system or reading the display, please make adjustments while safely
parked.
Precautions before
connecting the system
CAUTION
! If you decide to perform the installation
yourself, and have special training and experience in the mobile electronics installations, please carefully follow all of the
steps in the installation manual.
! Secure all wiring with cable clamps or
electrical tape. Do not allow any bare wiring to remain exposed.
! Do not directly connect the yellow lead of
this product to the vehicle battery. If the
lead is directly connected to the battery,
engine vibration may eventually cause
the insulation to fail at the point where
the wire passes from the passenger compartment into the engine compartment. If
the yellow lead’s insulation tears as a result of contact with metal parts, short-circuiting can occur, resulting in
considerable danger.
! It is extremely dangerous to allow cables
to become wound around the steering column or gearstick. Be sure to install this
product, its cables, and wiring away in
such so that they will not obstruct or hinder driving.
! Make sure that the cables and wires will
not interfere with or become caught in
any of the vehicle’s moving parts, especially the steering wheel, gearstick, handbrake, sliding seat tracks, doors, or any of
the vehicle’s controls.
! Do not route wires where they will be ex-
posed to high temperatures. If the insulation heats up, wires may become
damaged, resulting in a short circuit or
malfunction and permanent damage to
the product.
! Do not cut the GPS aerial cable to shorten
it or use an extension to make it longer.
Altering the aerial cable could result in a
short circuit or malfunction.
! Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the
protection circuit (fuse holder, fuse resistor or filter, etc.) may fail to work properly.
! Never feed power to other electronic pro-
ducts by cutting the insulation of the
power supply lead of the navigation system and tapping into the lead. The current
capacity of the lead will be exceeded,
causing overheating.

Before installing this product
! Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and ne-
gative earthing only. Failure to do so may
result in a fire or malfunction.
! To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be
sure to disconnect the (–) battery cable before installation.
To prevent damage
WARNING
! The black lead is earth. Please earth this
lead separately from the earth of high-current products such as power amps. Do not
earth more than one product together
with the earth from another product. For
example, you must separately earth any

Positioning technology
Positioning by GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses a
network of satellites orbiting the Earth. Each
of the satellites, which orbit at a height of
21 000 km, continually broadcasts radio signals giving time and position information. This
ensures that signals from at least three can be
picked up from any open area on the earth’s
surface.
The accuracy of the GPS information depends
on how good the reception is. When the signals are strong and reception is good, GPS
can determine latitude, longitude and altitude
for accurate positioning in three dimensions.
But if signal quality is poor, only two dimensions, latitude and longitude, can be obtained
and positioning errors are somewhat greater.
Handling large errors
Positioning errors are kept to a minimum by
combining GPS, dead reckoning and map
matching. However, in some situations, these
functions may not work properly, and the error
may become bigger.
When positioning by GPS is
impossible
! GPS positioning is disabled if signals can-
not be received from more than two GPS
satellites.
! In some driving conditions, signals from
GPS satellites may not reach your vehicle.
In this case, it is impossible for the system
to use GPS positioning.
In tunnels or enclosed parking
garages
When driving
among high buildings
! If a car phone or mobile phone is used near
the GPS aerial, GPS reception may be lost
temporarily.
! Do not cover the GPS aerial with spray
paint or car wax, because this may block
the reception of GPS signals. Snow buildup
can also degrade the signals, so keep the
aerial clear.
p If a GPS signal has not been received for a
long time, your vehicle’s actual position
and the current position mark on the map
may diverge considerably or may not be updated. In such case, once GPS reception is
restored, accuracy will be recovered.
Under elevated
roads or similar
structures
When driving through
a dense forest or tall
trees
Conditions likely to cause
noticeable positioning errors
For various reasons, such as the state of the
road you are travelling on and the reception
status of the GPS signal, the actual position of
your vehicle may differ from the position displayed on the map screen.

Route setting information
Route search specifications
Your navigation system sets a route to your
destination by applying certain built-in rules to
the map data. This section provides some useful information about how a route is set.
CAUTION
When a route is calculated, the route and voice
guidance for the route are automatically set.
Also, for day or time traffic regulations, only information about traffic regulations applicable at the
time when the route was calculated is considered. One-way streets and street closures may
not be taken into consideration. For example, if a
street is open during the morning only, but you
arrive later, it would be against the traffic regulations so you cannot drive along the set route.
When driving, please follow the actual traffic
signs. Also, the system may not know some traffic regulations.
! If you join the road after driving around a
large car park.
! The calculated route is one example of the
route to your destination decided by the navigation system while taking the type of
streets or traffic regulations into account. It
is not necessarily an optimum route. (In
some cases, you may not be able to set the
streets you want to take. If you need to take
a certain street, set a waypoint on that
street.)
Engb
71
Page 72
Appendix
Appendix
! If the destination is too far, there may be in-
stances where the route cannot be set. (If
you want to set a long-distance route going
across several areas, set waypoints along
the way.)
! During voice guidance, turns and intersec-
tions from the motorway are announced.
However, if you pass intersections, turns,
and other guidance points in rapid succession, some may delay or not be announced.
! It is possible that guidance may direct you
off a motorway and then back on again.
! In some cases, the route may require you
to travel in the opposite direction to your
current heading. In such cases, you are instructed to turn around, so please turn
around safely by following the actual traffic
rules.
! In some cases, a route may begin on the
opposite side of a railway or river from your
actual current location. If this happens,
drive towards your destination for a while,
and try route calculation again.
! When there is a traffic jam ahead, a detour
route may not be suggested if driving
through the traffic jam would still be better
than taking the detour.
! There may be instances when the starting
point, the waypoint and the destination
point are not on the highlighted route.
! The number of roundabout exits displayed
on the screen may differ from the actual
number of roads.
Auto reroute function
! If you deviate from the set route, the system
will re-calculate the route from that point
so that you remain on track to the destination.
! This function may not work under certain
conditions.

Route highlighting
! Once set, the route is highlighted in bright
colour on the map.
! The immediate vicinity of your starting
point and destination may not be highlighted, and neither will areas with particularly complex road layouts. Consequently,
the route may appear to be cut off on the
display, but voice guidance will continue.
