Appendix

set by voice operation, only one route is calcu- lated.

Route setting is limited to the range of the disc in use.

The destination is too far, there may be instances where the route cannot be set. (If you want to set a long-distance route going across several areas, set way points along the way.)

During voice guidance, turns and junctions from the freeway are announced. However, if you pass junctions, turns, and other guide points in rapid succession, some may not be announced.

It is possible that guidance may direct you off a freeway and then back on again.

In some cases, the set route may require you to travel in the opposite direction to your current heading. In such cases, you are instructed to turn around, so please turn around safely by following the actual traffic rules.

In some cases, guidance may direct you past your destination and then indicate a U-turn to get back to it.

In some cases, a route may begin on the oppo- site side of a railway or river from your actual current location. If this happens, drive towards your destination for a while, and try route cal- culation again.

In the following cases, the route that passes through an Area to Avoid may be set:

-when your vehicle is in the Area to Avoid

-when your destination or way points are in the Area to Avoid

-when it is not possible to avoid doing so

If a suitable route cannot be set in compliance with the specified “Detour” distance, or your preference to avoid freeways, toll roads, ferry route, the setting or parameter may be ignored.

When there is a traffic jam ahead, if driving through the traffic jam is better than taking the detour, a detour route may not be set.

There may be instances when the starting point and the destination point are not on the highlighted route.

The number of roundabout exits displayed on the screen may differ from the actual number of roads.

Auto Reroute function does not work in the fol- lowing cases:

-when your vehicle is not on a street

-when your vehicle is on a ferry

-when driving on a road inside a facility

-when driving on a roundabout

Route highlighting

Once set, the route is highlighted in bright green on the map.

The immediate vicinity of your starting point and destination may not be highlighted, and neither will areas with particularly complex road layouts. Consequently, the route may appear to be cut off on the display, but voice guidance will continue.

Intersection enlargement

When Close-up of Junction” is on, the map scale increases to show more detail as you approach an intersection.

If the intersection is approached in a gentle curve, the map displayed may differ from the actual road layout.

Tracking

Your Navigation System marks your course on the map in certain increments. This is called tracking. It is handy when you want to check a route traveled without guidance or if returning along a complex route.

A maximum of about 145 miles (230 km) is marked and, as you travel beyond this limit, tracking marks are erased in order from the most distant. Tracking display shows about 100 miles tracking of your vehicle with white dots.

Tracking can also be set for automatic erasing whenever the Navigation System is switched off Page 48
