Database Limitations
116 Navigation System
You will fi nd that some points of 
interest (POI) may be missing when you 
search the database. This can be caused 
if at the time the database was gathered, 
the name was misspelled, the place 
was improperly categorised, or the POI 
change is not yet in the database. This 
means you may not fi nd places listed 
that you know exist. This is also true 
for police agencies and hospitals. In 
outlying areas, facilities listed may not 
be the closest. Always check with local 
information sources if you need law 
enforcement or hospital services. 
Every effort has been made to verify 
that the system’s database was accurate 
at the time it was created. However, 
businesses do close or relocate, and new 
businesses start in the old locations. 
For this reason, you may occasionally 
fi nd inaccurate information when you 
select and drive to a point of interest 
(for example, a restaurant is now a 
jewelry store). The number of these 
inaccuracies increases the longer you go 
without an update. 
The digitized map database refl ects 
conditions as they existed at various 
points in time before production. 
Accordingly, your database may contain 
inaccurate or incomplete data or 
information due to the passage of time, 
road construction, changing conditions, 
or other causes. 
Due to ongoing software and database 
improvements, navigation software 
and mapping versions may change in 
the middle of a production year. The 
version shipped with your vehicle was 
the most recent available at the time of 
production and is considered standard 
equipment for that vehicle. There is 
no free programme to retrofi t early 
production vehicles with the latest 
software and mapping versions. For 
update DVD ordering information, see 
page 119 . 
In addition, this database does not 
include, analyze, process, consider, or 
refl ect any of the following categories 
of information: 
• Neighborhood quality or safety
• Population density
• Availability or proximity of law
enforcement
• Emergency, rescue, medical, or other
assistance
• Construction work, zones, or hazards
• Road and lane closures
• Legal restrictions (such as vehicular
type, weight, load, height, and speed 
restrictions) 
• Road slope or grade
• Bridge height, width, weight, or other
limits
