GPS Function Menu
GPS Status Check
Selecting GPS Status on the GPS functions menu displays the status menu of the GPS system. The status menu
shows the current position in latitude and longitude, the approximate altitude and the time and date (always displayed
in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)).
The ground speed and heading can be checked when the vehicle is in motion. The indicated ground speed should be
the actual vehicle speed in m/s and the heading should be the actual direction of travel in degrees.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 87-25
The Rec Stat/Pos Src element is used to check that the GPS system is functioning correctly. The Rec Stat window
displays one of the following:
lPOS – The system has a current position fix. This indicates that the GPS system is working normally. The Pos
Src window indicates the type of position fix (2D or 3D) and the number of satellites being received.
lTRACK – The system is tracking a number of satellites. This indicates that the system is working normally but
does not yet have enough information to determine the position of the vehicle. Check that there is nothing
obstructing the GPS antenna's 'view' of the sky.
NOTE: When exposed to satellites for the first time, the GPS system can take up to 15 minutes to determine the
position of the vehicle.
lCOMERR – There is a communication error between the GPS receiver and the navigation computer
lSEARCH – The system is searching for satellites. If this is displayed it may mean there is a failure in the GPS
system. First check that there is nothing obstructing the GPS antenna's 'view' of the sky. Check the connections
between the GPS antenna and the navigation computer.

GPS Tracking Information
Selecting the GPS Tracking Information from the GPS functions menu displays the satellite being received on each
channel together with a signal level. The menu also displays the number of satellites that are currently being received
and the Almanac status.

GPS Tracking Menu
Sensor Check
Selecting Sensor Test from the service mode menu causes the sensor check menu to be displayed. The sensor
check menu is used to confirm that all the input sensors are working. Some of the tests below involve driving the
vehicle for short distances. Before starting these tests ensure that an appropriate location, away from public roads
and obstructions, is chosen. The system-input sensors can be tested as follows:
lWheel Sensors - When the vehicle is stationary the values in the wheel sensor boxes should both be zero. Drive
the vehicle for a short distance. While driving, a number should be displayed in the left wheel sensor box. The
value in the box should be proportional to the speed of the vehicle, and increase as the speed increases.
lGPS Satellites – Indicates the number of satellites being received
lGPS Status – Indicates the status of the GPS system by displaying one of the following messages:
lPosition Known – The system has a current position fix. This indicates that the GPS system is functioning
normally.
lSatellite Contact – The system is tracking a number of satellites. This indicates that the system is working
correctly but does not have enough information to determine the position of the vehicle. Check that there is
nothing obstructing GPS antenna's 'view' of the sky. It may take several minutes for the GPS system to
acquire enough satellites to determine the vehicle's position (Position Known).
lSatellite Search – The system is searching for satellites. If this is displayed it may mean that there is a failure
in the GPS system. First check that the GPS antenna's 'view' of the sky is not blocked in any way. Check
harness connections between the navigation computer and the GPS antenna.
lGPS Error – There is a communication error between the GPS receiver and the navigation computer.
lGYRO – Drive the vehicle forwards, in a straight line and making left and right turns. When the vehicle is moving
in a straight line the direction arrow should be pointing to the top of the screen and the gyro value beside the
direction arrow should remain relatively constant. When the vehicle turns to the right, the direction arrow should
turn clockwise and the gyro value should increase. The size of the angle through which the direction icon turns
depends on the tightness of the turn. When the vehicle turns to the left, the direction arrow should turn anti-
clockwise and the gyro value should decrease.
lDirection of Travel – When the gear lever is in any position other than reverse, the display should show
Forwards. When reverse is selected, the display should change to Backwards.

Sensor Check Menu
TestBook/T4 Diagnostics
No serial diagnostic link is provided with the CARiN III navigation system, so TestBook/T4 cannot interact with the
system.
Vehicle Position
If the vehicle’s battery has been disconnected, or if the vehicle has been transported to a new location on another
vehicle (e.g. by trailer or train), the navigation system will require up to 15 minutes to identify the new position. Entering
the vehicle’s position manually, reduces this delay. To enter the vehicle's position manually:
1Highlight and select Information.
2From the information menu, scroll down to the next screen and highlight and select Vehicle position.
NOTE: If the correct CD is in the navigation computer, the country is automatically entered. If you have travelled
to a new country, a new CD may be needed.
3From the vehicle position menu, highlight and select City, then use the typewriter menu to enter the vehicle’s
position (town, road, etc.) in the same way that you would enter a destination.
4Once the town and road names are entered, the navigation computer asks for a junction. This is the name of the
road that forms the next junction ahead of the vehicle.
5Highlight and select Junction, then enter the name using the typewriter, or select the correct road name if a list
of names is displayed. Crossing the junction will be highlighted. Drive the vehicle in the direction of the junction
and press the rotary controller when you reach the junction.
NOTE: The vehicle position menu provides a street map facility which enables you to check your vehicle’s current
position and assists in identifying the name of the next road junction.
Provided that the information entered into the computer is correct, the navigation system requires approximately 1
minute to determine the vehicle's position.
Navigation and Trafficmaster
Road navigation and off-road navigation are accessed from the main menu by highlighting and selecting the
appropriate title with the rotary controller. In both modes of navigation, this brings up a safety notice on the display
unit. Pushing the rotary controller again accepts the safety notice and replaces it with a menu screen, which is the
entry point for operation of the navigation function. The Trafficmaster function only operates in the road navigation
mode, and is activated and de-activated by pushing and holding the menu switch for more than 0.5 second. When
activating the Trafficmaster function, the system returns to the navigation mode if the menu switch is not released
within 1.5 seconds.
Refer to the Owner Handbook: Navigation, CARiN III & Traffic Master, Publication Part No. LRL 0586ENG for full
details of how to operate the road navigation, off-road navigation and Trafficmaster functions.
