Cautions relating to auto reroute

in memory navi mode
Auto rerouting in memory navi mode is designed
to return you to your original route wherever pos-
sible.
In memory navi mode, persistently deviating from
the route may result in one of the following:
• A clearly circuitous route
• Leaving a toll road and returning to the toll
road from where you left it.
In the above case, if the set route seems unsuita-
ble, insert the map disc that records your current
position. Setting the map disc to navigation auto-
matically resets the route from your current loca-
tion to your destination.

Operation outside the memo-

Appendix
rized area
When the vehicle leaves the memorized area, the
functions will be limited.
• The auto reroute function does not work.
• You can only display a larger scale map. The
map display will automatically change to a 25-
mi (or 50-mi) scale.
• The map matching function will not be availa-
ble. Therefore, the position of your vehicle may
be misaligned.
• Only the navigation guidance when arriving to
your destination will be available; no other
guidance is possible (this includes no display
of direction arrows).
To cancel these limitations, reset the map disc to
the navigation system.

Deleting the memory data

The memorized area may be deleted in the follow-
ing circumstances:
• Yellow lead of the navigation system or the
vehicle battery is disconnected.
• RESET button is pressed.
• Software is updated.

• If a route calculation is operated within an

if you set the destination in an unrecorded
area of the disc, the system may not be able to
set the route up to the destination.
• If the vehicle deviates from the set route in an

• Even if “Close-up of Junction” is “ON”, the

Route Information

Appendix
• If the set route goes through an unrecorded
area, no route profile for the unrecorded area
will be displayed. (If the set route traverses
both an unrecorded area and area stored on
the disc, only the route profile within the
recorded area will be displayed.)
• Route scrolling for an unrecorded area is pos-
sible only with a map scale of 0.5 mi or above.

Other Function Limitations

Overlay POI
• Overlay POI is not available in an unrecorded
area.

• Only data for areas stored on the disk can be
memorized. (Data for unrecorded areas cannot
be memorized.)

• An area not stored on the disc cannot be set as
