2GS350/450h (US) NAVI 30C46U11.12.13 07:32IntroductionThis manual explains the operation of the Navigation System. Please read this manualcarefully to ensure proper use. Keep th is manual in your vehicle at all times.The screen shots in this document and the ac tual screens of the navigation system dif-fer depending on whether the functions and/or a contract existed and the map dataavailable at the time of producing this document.The Navigation System is one of the most technologically advanced vehicle accesso-ries ever developed. The system receives satellite signals from the Global PositioningSystem (GPS) operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. Using these signals andother vehicle sensors, the system indicates yo ur present position and assists in locatinga desired destination.The navigation system is desi gned to select efficient routes from your present startinglocation to your destination. The system is al so designed to direct you to a destinationthat is unfamiliar to you in an efficient manner. The system uses DENSO maps. The cal-culated routes may not be the shortest nor the least traffic congested. Your own per-sonal local knowledge or "short cut" may at times be faster than the calculated routes.The navigation system's database includes Point of Interest categories to allow you toeasily select destinations such as restaurants and hotels. If a destination is not in the da-tabase, you can enter the street address or a major intersecti on close to it and the sys-tem will guide you there.The system will provide both a visual map and audio instructions. The audio instructionswill announce the distance remaining and the direction to turn in when approaching anintersection. These voice instructions will he lp you keep your eyes on the road and aretimed to provide enough time to allow you to maneuver, change lanes or slow down.Please be aware that all current vehicle navi gation systems have certain limitations thatmay affect their ability to perform properly. The accuracy of the vehicle's position de-pends on satellite conditions, road configur ation, vehicle condition or other circum-stances. For more information on the limitations of the system, refer to pages 137through 139.NAVIGATION SYSTEM OWNER'S MANUALNAVIGATION SYSTEM
