Introduction
i
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 Lexus 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 sen-
sors, 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 efficient manners.
The routes are generated from a large database that includes all
roads contained in AAA state maps along with detailed street coverage for many major metropolitan areas. 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 53 point of interest categories to allow you to easily select destinations such as restaurants and
banks.
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 circum-
stances.
For more information on the limitations of the system, refer to pages 39 through 41.
