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. 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 inter-

est 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 an-

nounce 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.

2

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 59 through 60.

For safety reasons, this manual indicates

items requiring particular attention with the

following marks.

CAUTION

This is a warning against anything

which may cause injury to people if

the warning is ignored. You are in-

formed about what you must or must

not do in order to reduce the risk of

injury to yourself and others.

NOTICE

This is a warning against anything

which may cause damage to the ve-

hicle or its equipment if the warning

is ignored. You are informed about

what you must or must not do in or-

der to avoid or reduce the risk of dam-

age to your vehicle and its equip-

ment.

To use your system as safely as pos-

sible, 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 op-

eration 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 un-

derstand the system. Do not allow oth-

ers 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 dri-

ving. Unavailable switches are dimmed.

You can input your destination and se-

lect 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

accident.

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 information. If the system

cannot determine your current position

correctly, there is a possibility of incor-

rect, late or non−voice guidance.

The data in the system may occasion-

ally 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.

Safety Instruction

6

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 coun-

tries/provinces may have laws prohibit-

ing video screens within sight of the

driver.
