With the factory default (Normal), typically you will hear two prompts: • The first is about 1/4 mile from the
maneuver.
• The final prompt is close to your
actual turn.
If the distance between the next two driving maneuvers is very small, both maneuvers are displayed on the screen in a single window, and the voice will remind you of both of them at the same time.

Directions list
Unverified Area Routing: OFF (factory default) The driver wishes to navigate manually by using the navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to the destination. The driver understands that unverified roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in location, naming, and address range. A blue dotted vector line is displayed on the map that continually points to your destination. The driver should stop and then use the map to select streets that lead to the destination. There are cautionary pop-up screens and voice announcements, before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you should obey all traffic restrictions. There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance.
A direction list is typically not available. However, depending on your route, directions are provided to help you reach the first available verified road.
Unverified Area Routing: ON The driver chooses to let the navigation system suggest possible routing. The driver understands that in some cases guidance may not be appropriate. Unverified roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in location, naming, and address range.
A blue-pink dashed route line highlights suggested unverified streets on the map while traveling to your destination. This is in sharp contrast to the normal blue route line displayed in verified areas. There are cautionary pop-up screens and voice announcements, before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you should exercise additional caution, and obey all traffic restrictions. Voice guidance commands end with the words “If possible.” This is to remind the driver to verify all traffic restrictions before making a maneuver. A direction list is provided showing street names and turn symbols in pink.

Unverified Area Routing When driving to your destination, you have the choice of using or not using “unverified” roads. You make this choice in Set up screen (second). The next few pages contain an example of a route to a destination in an unverified area explaining the routing differences found in unverified areas. With Unverified Area Routing Off, the system tries to use verified roads whenever possible. In this example, since only verified streets are used, it created a longer route than necessary. With Unverified Area Routing On, the route is shorter, but consists of unverified (light colored) streets that may not be accurate. Because the streets are unverified, there may be errors in street location, name, or address range. Additional caution is recommended in these areas. Always obey posted traffic restrictions.

Because both routes bypass or use unverified streets, an initial Disclaimer screen is provided. It is recommended that you stop and review the map.

With Unverified Area Routing Off, the driver chose to take a shortcut, and avoid the long route. The moment you enter an unverified street, a caution box appears on the screen, and is read by the voice. This lets you know that you are about to enter an unverified area and that you will be following a dotted “vector line” that points to your destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On, a caution box appears on the screen and is read by the voice. In this case you will be presented with a dashed blue/ pink line instead of the regular blue route line. You cannot assume that all guidance is appropriate. This is your signal to pay attention to posted traffic restrictions.
In both cases, when you actually enter the unverified street, a short caution will remind you. You will see and hear this short caution message whenever you enter unverified areas.

Voice guidance commands in unverified areas always end with “if possible.” This is your signal that you should use additional caution, and obey all traffic restrictions. The maneuver window “arrow” shows any portions of unverified turns in blue/ pink dashes. These guidance maneuvers are only a suggestion. You should always confirm that the maneuver is possible.
