Volume

This system has voice guidance prompts that provide various messages as you approach points where you need to maneuver your vehicle, such as an intersection.

To adjust the volume of the voice prompts you receive from the system, do the following:

This function allows you to recalculate a route based on your preferences. You can also add, reorder, or delete destinations and adjust road preference settings.

The Search Condition screen under the Edit route menu allows you to select your route preference by choosing from Fastest, Shortest, or Alternative route. By selecting the Fastest route, you will be routed along main roads and highways, which does not necessarily mean it will be the shortest route.

The Route Preference screen under the Edit route menu allows you to select your road preferences by setting which types of roads you wish to use and avoid.

Route Preview

Selecting Route preview from the main navigation menu displays the map screen with the route highlighted. The route is traced by the vehicle symbol as you travel.

Choose Yes to calibrate the system, or No to leave the calibration as it is.

Select Defaults?: This feature allows you to restore all available factory default settings in the Setup menu. Choose Yes to restore defaults, or No to retain the current settings.

Marked Points

Selecting this function will display the Marked points menu. This menu contains options for registering, deleting, and editing marked points stored in memory, such as memory points, preset destinations, and areas to avoid.
