i2003 ES300 Navigation from Aug. ’02 Prod. (OM33592U)

Thank you for your purchase of the Navigation System. Please read this manual carefully to ensure proper use. Keep this manua lstored in your vehicle at all times.

The Lexus Navigation System is one of the most technologically advanced vehicle accessories ever developed. The system receives satellitesignals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. Using these signals and other vehicle sen-sors, the system can show you where you are and assist you in locating a desired destination.

The navigation system is designed to select efficient routes from your present starting location to your destination. The system is designedto direct you to a destination that is unfamiliar to you in efficient manners. The system uses the maps of DENSO based on NAVTECH maps,GDT maps and infoUSA POIs. The calculated routes are neither the shortest routes nor routes without traffic congestion. Your own personallocal knowledge or “short cut” may at times be faster than the calculated routes.

The navigation system’s database includes about 50 point of interest categories to allow you to easily select destinations such as restaurantsand 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 routeyou there. The system will provide both a visual map and audio instructions. The audio instructions will announce the distance and directionto go when you are approaching a fork or intersection. These voice instructions will help you keep your eyes on the road and are timed toprovide enough time to allow you to maneuver, change lanes or slow down.

Please be aware that all current vehicle navigation systems have certain limitations that may affect their ability to perform properly.The accuracy of the vehicle’s position depends on the satellite condition, road configuration, vehicle condition or other circu mstan-ces. For more information on the limitations of the system, refer to pages 50 through 52.

TheGPS system has a certain level of inaccura-cy. While the navigation system will com-pensate for this most of the time, occasionalpositioning errors up to 300 feet can andshould be expected. Generally, position er-rors will be corrected within a few seconds.

L00102

When your vehicle is receiving signals fromthe satellites, the “GPS” mark appears at thetop left of the screen.

The GPS signal may be physically ob-structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle posi-tion on the map display. Tunnels, tall build-ings, trucks, or even the placement ofobjects on the instrument panel may obstructthe GPS signals.

The installation of window tinting may alsoobstruct the GPS signals. Most window tint-ing contains some metallic content that willinterfere with the GPS signal reception. Werecommend not to use the window tinting onvehicles equipped with navigation systems.

The GPS satellites may not send signals dueto repairs or improvements being made tothem.

Limitations of the Navigation System

ES300_Navi_U (L/O 0208)


Even when the navigation system is receiv-ing good GPS signals, the vehicle positionmay not be shown accurately or inappropri-ate route guidance may occur in somecases.

(a) Accurate current vehicleposition may not be shown inthe following cases:� When driving on a small angled Y–

shaped road.

� When driving on a spiral road.

� When driving on a slippery road such asin sand, gravel, snow, etc.

� When driving on a long straight road.

� When freeway and surface streets run inparallel.

� After moving by ferry or vehicle carrier.

� When a long route is searched during highspeed driving.

� When driving without setting the currentposition calibration correctly.

� After repeating a change of directions bygoing forward and backward, or turningon a turntable in the parking lot.

� When leaving a covered parking lot orparking garage.

� When a roof carrier is installed.

� When driving with the tire chains installed.

� When the tires are worn.

� After replacing a tire or tires.

� When using tires that are smaller or largerthan the factory specifications.

� When the tire pressure in any of the fourtires is not correct.

INFORMATIONIf your vehicle cannot receive GPS sig-nals, you can correct the current posi-tion manually. For the information onsetting the current position calibration,see page 75.

Limitations of the Navigation System

ES300_Navi_U (L/O 0208)


(b) Inappropriate route guidancemay occur in the followingcases:� When turning at a wrong intersection off

the designated route guidance

� If you set more than one destination butskip any of them, auto reroute will displaya route returning to the destination on theprevious route.

� When turning at an intersection, there isno route guidance.

� When passing through the intersection,there is no route guidance.

� During auto reroute, the route guidancemay not be available for the next turn tothe right or left.

� It may take a long time to operate auto re-route during high speed driving. In autoreroute, a detour route may be shown.

� After auto reroute, the route may not bechanged.

� An unnecessary U–turn may be shown orannounced.

� A location may have multiple names andthe system will announce one or more.

� Some routes may not be searched.

� If the route to your destination includesgravel, unpaved roads or alleys, the routeguidance may not be shown.

� Your destination point might be shown onthe opposite side of the street.

� When a portion of the route has regula-tions prohibiting the entry of the vehiclethat vary by time or season or other rea-son.

� The road and map data stored in yournavigation system may not be completeor may not be the latest release.

When replacing the tire(s), perform cal-ibration. See page 75 for detailed infor-mation.

RADIO RECEPTION

Usually, a problem with radio reception doesnot mean there is a problem with your ra-dio—it is just the normal result of conditionsoutside the vehicle.

For example, nearby buildings and terraincan interfere with FM reception. Power linesor telephone wires can interfere with AM sig-nals. And of course, radio signals have a lim-ited range. The farther you are from a sta-tion, the weaker its signal will be. In addition,reception conditions change constantly asyour vehicle moves.

Here are some common reception problemsthat probably do not indicate a problem withyour radio:

FM

Fading and drifting stations—Generally, theeffective range of FM is about 40 km (25miles). Once outside this range, you may no-tice fading and drifting, which increase withthe distance from the radio transmitter. Theyare often accompanied by distortion.

Multi–path—FM signals are reflective, mak-ing it possible for two signals to reach yourantenna at the same time. If this happens,the signals will cancel each other out, caus-ing a momentary flutter or loss of reception.

Static and fluttering—These occur when sig-nals are blocked by buildings, trees, or otherlarge objects. Increasing the bass level mayreduce static and fluttering.

Station swapping—If the FM signal you arelistening to is interrupted or weakened, andthere is another strong station nearby on theFM band, your radio may tune in the secondstation until the original signal can be pickedup again.

AM

Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected by theupper atmosphere—especially at night.These reflected signals can interfere withthose received directly from the radio station,causing the radio station to sound alternatelystrong and weak.

Station interference—When a reflected sig-nal and a signal received directly from a radiostation are very nearly the same frequency,they can interfere with each other, making itdifficult to hear the broadcast.

Static—AM is easily affected by externalsources of electrical noise, such as high ten-sion power lines, lightening, or electrical mo-tors. This results in static.

� Do not leave a cassette in the player if youare not listening to it, especially if it is hotoutside.

� Store cassettes in their cases and out ofdirect sunlight.
