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 58 through 60.

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
Owners 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 nonvoice 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
drivers 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.
