System Operation Verification  
Before Use  
Automatic distance correction  
The mobile navigation system uses GPS data for distance correction automatically. It must be  
properly calibrated for accurate operation. Perform calibration in any of the following circumstances:  
1. When using the navigation system for the very first time after installing the system.  
2. When the navigation system is transferred to another vehicle.  
3. When the tire pressure is changed, tires are rotated, the spare tire is used, tire size, or  
wheel diameter is changed.  
4. When deleting the position correction learning results.  
Notes  
GStart the driving after closing the opening screen as much as possible. The system is ready  
to start during opening screen.  
GThe vehicle position indicator may disappear temporarily after the speed is increased  
depending on the vehicle model. This is a normal phenomenon indicating that the system  
is calculating the distance correction.  
I
Resetting automatic distance correction  
Drive the vehicle in an open area for approximately 30-minutes at a speed over 20 kph  
(12.5 MPH) while receiving GPS signals.  
Notes  
Make sure the GPS reception indicator is illuminated on the map screen.

Precautions/System Performance  
Voice Guidance  
GThe navigation system is just a support system for the driver. The driver should always  
pay attention to the traffic situation to safely make decisions. You may be unable at  
times to arrive at your destination due to out-of-date information on a map disc. You  
should be especially careful when selecting an urgent destination such as a hospital or  
a police station.  
Warnings  
G Your route may sometimes include roads that are not open to vehicles or are closed  
due to traffic regulations. Please comply with the local traffic regulations.  
G Do not change the settings and destination locations while driving. Minimize the time  
spent viewing the monitor screen and listening to the voice guidance while driving.  
Operating the system will distract the driver from looking ahead of the vehicle and may  
cause an accident. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location and use the parking brake  
before operating the system.  
Voice guidance has the following functions:  
IIntersection guidance  
GThe system voice announces the distance to an upcoming turn and the turning direction.  
a This guidance function is automatic. Therefore, you do not have to set it, and it cannot  
be disabled.  
GThe system vocally announces the distance to an upcoming highway  
branching point or junction.  
a This guidance function can be set in the [Setup menu]. For details, see page 32.

Roundabout.  
Take the second

then right turn.  
100m  
In 700m left turn.  
When two intersections are close together,  
the voice guidance may be late.  
When two roundabouts are close together,  
the voice guidance for the second may be late.  
Automatic Distance Correction  
GThe mobile navigation system calculates and indicates the vehicle position on the map by  
multiplying the speed pulse emitted by the vehicle with a correction coefficient.  
The speed pulse emitted varies with the type of vehicle and with differences in tire  
pressure and wear.  
A different correction coefficient might even be required for the same type of vehicle.  
GUsing a spare tire in place of the regular one may cause vehicle position deviations.  
34  
GPS  
GPS is a position detecting system utilizing the signals from  
GPS satellites deployed by the U.S. Department of Defense.  
The Mobile Navigation System uses input from three or more  
satellites and calculates the vehicle position based on the  
principle of triangulation.  
The positioning accuracy of the system corresponds to the  
error display of the GPS which is from about 30 to 200 meters.  
GIf you are using the system for the first time, or if you have not used it for some time, it  
takes about 5 minutes (or about 2 minutes in open areas) to calculate your vehicle's  
position.  
IGPS signal reception is poor in the following places  
In tunnels  
Among high-rise buildings Under elevated roads  
In wooded areas  
GThe GPS satellites are controlled by the U.S. Defense Department, which may intentionally  
lower positioning accuracy. In such cases, there may be vehicle position deviations.  
GThere may be vehicle position deviations for some time until GPS signals are received after  
turning on the ignition.  
Map Matching  
This function compares your vehicle's tracking data with the road data on the map  
disc, applies dead reckoning to determine the road you are driving on,  
and displays your vehicle on that road on the map.  
GIntelligent map matching addresses the following problems to achieve high accuracy  
in vehicle positioning.  
Position Correction for Elevated Roads  
Position accuracy is improved by detecting if  
the vehicle is running on or under an elevated road.  
Position Correction for Parking Garages  
Position accuracy is improved by detecting if the vehicle  
is driving in an elevated or underground parking garage.  
High-precision Gyrosensor  
A gyro detects turns with an accuracy of 0.05˚ per second.  
Combined with a speed sensor, it enables the system to display  
the current vehicle position even where GPS signals may be  
blocked.  
GUsing a spare tire in place of the regular one may cause vehicle position deviations.  
GAny difference between the direction which your vehicle actually travels and that shown  
on the map is automatically eliminated by azimuth correction.  
35
