Precautions on use This navigation system uses the tire turning data. So, replacing the tire may cause a positioning error. Make sure tire pressures of 4 wheels should be correct. For your safety, some functions may become inoperable when you start driving. Unavailable switches are dimmed.

Precautions on use
Accurate Operation Tips
iii
This navigation system uses the tire turn-
ing data.
So, replacing the tire may cause
a positioning error.
Make sure tire pressures of 4 wheels
should be correct.
For your safety, some functions may
become inoperable when you start driv-
ing.
Unavailable switches are dimmed.
CAUTION
D
For safety, the driver should not
operate the navigation system
during driving.
Incorrect
maneuvering of steering wheel
may cause an accident.
D
When driving, be sure to follow
traffic regulations and keep the
road condition in mind.
If a traffic
sign on the road is changed by the
regulation, route guidance may
provide wrong information such as
the route prohibiting the entry of
the vehicle.
This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, map
data, etc.
However, the accurate posi-
tion may not be shown or inappropriate
route guidance may occur in some
cases.
(a)
The accurate current vehicle
position may not be shown in
the following cases:
D
When driving on a small angled Y–
shaped road.
D
When driving on a spiral road.
D
When driving on a slippery road such as
in sand, gravel, snow, etc.
D
When driving on a long straight road.
D
When the freeway and surface streets
run in parallel.
D
When the long route is searched during
high speed driving.
D
When approaching a tall building or

D
When going out from the parking lot with
roof.
D
When driving with the tire chains
installed.
D
When replacing the tire(s).
D
When using the tire other than specified.
D
When tire pressures of 4 wheels are not
correct.
D
When driving without setting the current
position calibration correctly.
D
When the roof carrier is installed.
D
When the tires are worn.
(i.e., studless
tires used in the previous season)
INFORMATION
D
After your vehicle receives signals
from the GPS, the current vehicle
position, if it is not placed in cor-
rect position or on the wrong road,
will be corrected automatically.
D
If your vehicle cannot receive GPS
signals, you can correct it manual-
ly.
For the information on current
position calibration, see page 63.
