86-8-8 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Sensors
Four sensors are positioned in the rear bumper. Each sensor comprises an outer housing with an angled rubber trim
which differs between the inner and outer sensors and the sensor body. The outer housing has a slot which engages
with a pin on the sensor body and is locked by rotating the sensor. A coil spring around the sensor is compressed
when the sensor is installed in the bumper and maintains the sensor housing engaged on the pin. The sensor housing
has a raised lip at the top which locates in a corresponding groove in the bumper mounting hole and sets the correct
orientation for the sensor body.
Each sensor has a three pin connector which connects into a common harness linking all four sensors. This harness
is connected to the main vehicle body harness. The three pins are for sensor negative and positive feeds and a signal
line.
Each sensor comprises a plastic housing which contains a piezoelectric disc. The disc resonates at a frequency of
38.4kHz, producing an ultrasonic signal output. The disc also receives the reflected echo signal.
The PDC ECU controls the operating mode of each sensor by output of a digital signal on the signal line. Each sensor
has two modes of operation; combined transmitter and receiver mode or receiver mode only.

87-8 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Calibration Routine
1Park the vehicle outside in an area clear of high buildings, trees etc.
NOTE: The more open the surrounding area is, the faster the system will acquire sufficient GPS satellite signals to
begin calibration. To minimise the calibration time, the vehicle should not be moved again until the calibration
ride.
2Turn the ignition switch to position II. If the navigation computer does not come on, press the navigation
computer ON button.
3If necessary, use the navigation computer multifunction buttons to enter the security code.
4Turn the ignition switch to position 0 and remove the ignition key.
5Press the navigation computer ON button.
6Call up the SENSORS screen on the LCD:
lIf the navigation CD-ROM has not been installed before, press and hold multifunction button 1 then press
multifunction button 10.
lIf the navigation CD-ROM has been installed before, use the garage menu as detailed above.
7Turn the LH rotary control to minimum volume.
8Wait for 30 minutes. If necessary, the vehicle can be left unattended and locked.
NOTE: Land Rover recommend a minimum of 30 minutes be allowed to elapse in order to ensure that only a short
distance need be driven to achieve calibration.
9After the 30 minutes have elapsed, ensure the navigation computer LCD shows a GPS almanac figure of 27 or
higher.
10Start the vehicle engine and allow to idle.
11Install the navigation CD-ROM.
12Wait until the navigation computer LCD prompts for a language to be selected. Turn the RH rotary control to

15The navigation computer LCD will default to the CALIBRATION RIDE screen and should show the
CALIBRATION RIDE CAN START message. The GPS data and the road speed counter will also be shown.
16Drive the vehicle over a road route approximating that shown below (it is not necessary to copy the route
exactly). Calibration is complete when the navigation computer LCD switches to show DESTINATION & POI
and the satellite graphic. If all the pre calibration ride conditions were complied with, calibration is typically
achieved within 3 miles (5 km) and usually occurs when the vehicle returns to the start point. However,
calibration may be achieved earlier in the journey and, if it is, there is no need to complete the remainder of the
calibration route.
17After calibration is achieved, return to the dealership, park the vehicle and stop the engine.
18Turn the ignition switch to position I.
19Use the system settings menu to set the navigation computer to local time and the required units of measure:
aPress the Nav button.

control to select. Press the + or – multifunction button to adjust the time in 30 minute steps. Select the 24
hour clock and confirm by pressing the OK multifunction button.
cIf metric units of measure are required, go to step e) (the navigation computer defaults to metric units of
measure).
dIf Imperial units of measure are required, turn the RH rotary control to scroll through the displayed menu,
highlight MEASURING UNIT and press the RH rotary control to select. Turn the RH rotary control to
highlight IMPERIAL and press the RH rotary control to select.
ePress the Nav button to return to the destination menu.
20Calibration is complete. The navigation system is ready for use.
NOTE: The accuracy of the system will automatically be fine tuned when a further journey is made, but this is not
required as part of the calibration procedure.
NOTE: In European countries, the territory will have to be set the first time the navigation system is used, and the
first time a destination in another country is selected. The first time the navigation system is used or a destination
in another country is selected, a map is displayed with the default/current territory highlighted. To change the
territory: Press the RH rotary control to display the territory list; turn the RH rotary control to scroll through the
list and highlight the required territory; press the RH rotary control to confirm the selection.

87-26 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
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.
