Toyota Avalon Owner's manual

AVALON_Navi_U (L/O 0307)

i

Foreword

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 Toyota 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. Your own personal local knowledge or “short cut” may at times be faster than the calculated routes.

The navigation system’s database includes about 50 point of interest categories to allow you to easily select destinations such as

restaurants and hotels. 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 49 through 51.

Safety Instruction

To 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 opera-

tion 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 driv-

ing. 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 Owner’s

Manual” to make sure you understand the

system. Do not allow others to use this

system until they have read and under-

stood these and other instructions in this

manual.

For your safety, some functions may be-

come 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

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 acci-

dent.

D 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 pro-

vide 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 infor-

mation. If the system cannot determine

your current position correctly, there is a

possibility of incorrect, late or non−voice

guidance.

AVALON_Navi_U (L/O 0307)

v

The data in the system may occasionally

be incomplete. Road conditions, including

driving restrictions (no left turns, street

closures, etc.) frequently change. There-

fore, 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 circumstances 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 countries/prov-

inces may have laws prohibiting video

screens within sight of the driver.
