Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Navigation System. Please read
this manual carefully to ensure proper use. Keep this manual in your
vehicle at all times.
The Navigation System is one of the most technologically advanced ve-
hicle accessories ever developed. The system receives satellite signals
from the Global Positioning System (GPS) operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense. Using these signals and other vehicle sensors, the sys-
tem indicates your present position and assists in locating a desired des-
tination.
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 an efficient manner.
The system uses the maps of DENSO. The calculated routes may not be
the shortest nor the least traffic congested. Your own personal local
knowledge or "short cut" may at times be faster than the calculated routes.
The navigation system's database includes about 75 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 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 to
turn in 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.
