Keep thismanual in your vehicle at all times.The Navigation System is one of the most technologically advancedvehicle accessories ever developed. The system receives satellite sig-nals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) operated by the U.S.Department of Defense. Using these signals and other vehicle sen-sors, the system indicates your present position and assists in locatinga desired destination.The navigation system is designed to select efficient routes from yourpresent starting location to your destination. The system is also designedto direct you to a destination that is unfamiliar to you in an ef ficient manner.The system uses DENSO maps. The calculated routes may not be theshortest nor the least traffic congested. Your own personal local knowl-edge or "short cut" may at times be faster than the calculated routes.The navigation system's database includes Point of Interest categories toallow you to easily select destinations such as restaurants and hotels. Ifa destination is not in the database, you can enter the street address ora major intersection close to it and the system will guide you there.The system will provide both a visual map and audio instructions. The au-dio instructions will announce the distance remaining and the direction toturn in approaching an intersection. These voice instructions will help youkeep your eyes on the road and are timed to provide enough time to allowyou to maneuver, change lanes or slow down.
