Navigation System Controls: Overview
SCREEN - All selections and instructions are displayed on the screen. This touch-screen display uses infrared beams that are interrupted by your finger to determine what selection has been made. Because of this, you do not need to push on the screen; all you do is touch your selection. If the system doesn't accept your selection (nothing happens), try moving your finger slightly on the selection; do not push against the screen.
MENU - Press this button to change the display from the current instructions to a menu.
MAP/GUIDE - When en route, press this button to switch between the map and route information.
A/C (3.2TL and 3.2CL) - Press this button to display a menu of manual controls for the climate control system.
CANCEL - Press this button to return to the previous screen.
ZOOM - Press these arrows to change the scale when displaying a map. When a list is displayed, this control can be used to page up or page down.
JOYSTICK - The joystick moves left, right, up, and down. Use it to highlight menu selections, scroll through lists, or look around in maps. After making a selection in a menu or list, choose the selection by pushing in the joystick. You can also choose a selection by touching it on the screen.
SETUP - Press this screen icon to show a menu of system setup options.
NAVIGATION SYSTEM OPERATION
Selecting a Destination
A destination can be selected by Address, Intersection, Place, Phone Number of a Point Of Interest, Personal Address, Previous Destination, Map Input, or Today's Destinations. Refer to the Navigation System Owner's
Manual for detailed information.
Traveling to a Destination
Confirm a selected route - The system display asks you to select one of four route options:
^ Direct Route - Takes the least amount of time
^ Easy Route - Minimizes the number of turns
^ Minimize Freeways - Avoids freeway travel (when possible)
^ Minimize Toll Roads - Avoids toll roads (when possible)
Going oft the route - If you leave the route, the system recalculates the route from your current position.
Modifying the route - The system can recalculate portions of the route and/or avoid a specific street, and then return you to the current route.
Save current location - This option stores the current location for later use (it does not change or cancel the route instructions currently in progress). A location can be stored any time the navigation system is in use.
Personal Addresses
Two users can each store up to 50 destinations (addresses with phone numbers) in the system once a PIN (Personal Identification Number) is entered. Refer to the Navigation System Owner's Manual for instructions on how to enter a PIN and use the Personal Addresses function.
System Limitations
Always verify the audio and visual route information by carefully observing roadway signs, signals, etc. Use your own good judgment, and obey traffic laws while driving. The navigation system has these limitations:
^ The GPS (global positioning system) satellites used by the navigation system are operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. For security reasons, certain inaccuracies are built into the GPS. This can cause occasional positioning errors of up to several hundred feet. It the navigation system indicates your position incorrectly, wait several seconds until it corrects itself. The system may also correct itself after you make a turn or cross a road.
^ The routes calculated by the system may not always be what you consider to be the most direct ones.
^ Since businesses fail or move to new locations, some information may be inaccurate. Also, route guidance may conflict with actual road conditions such as street closures, construction, and detours.
^ Occasionally, the navigation system may "reboot" due to excess heat or shock, or from recalculating a route too many times. Rebooting does not necessarily indicate a need for service.
