3. Navigation system outline
(a) Vehicle position tracking methods
It is essential that the navigation system correctly tracks the current vehicle position and displays it on
the map. There are 2 methods to track the current vehicle position: autonomous (dead reckoning) and
GPS* (satellite) navigation. Both navigation methods are used in conjunction with each other.
*GPS (Global Positioning System)

Description
Vehicle Position Calculation
The navigation ECU calculates the current vehicle position (direction and current
position) using the direction deviation signal from the gyro sensor and the running
distance signal from the vehicle speed sensor and creates the driving route.
Map Display processingThe navigation ECU displays the vehicle track on the map by processing the ve-
hicle position data, vehicle running track, and map data from the map disc.
Map MatchingThe map data from the map disc is compared to the vehicle position and running
track data. Then, the vehicle position is matched with the nearest road.
GPS Correction
The vehicle position is matched to the position measured by GPS. Then, the mea-
surement position data from the GPS unit is compared with the vehicle position and
running track data. If the position is widely different, the GPS measurement position
is used.
Distance Correction
The running distance signal from the vehicle speed sensor includes the error
caused by tire wear and slippage between the tires and road surface. Distance
correction is performed to account for this. The navigation ECU automatically off-
sets the running distance signal to make up for the difference between it and the
distance data of the map. The offset is automatically updated.
HINT:
The combination of autonomous and GPS navigation makes it possible to display the vehicle position even
when the vehicle is in places where the GPS radio wave cannot receive a signal. When only autonomous
navigation is used, however, the mapping accuracy may slightly decline.

GPS Current longitude/latitude/altitude is determined using the radio wave arrival time from four satellites.

(b) Autonomous navigation
This method determines the relative vehicle position based on the running track determined by the
gyro and vehicle speed sensors located in the navigation ECU.
(1) Gyro sensor
Calculates the direction by detecting angular velocity. It is located in the radio and navigation
assy.
(2) Vehicle speed sensor
Used to calculate the vehicle running distance.
(c) GPS navigation (Satellite navigation)
This method detects the absolute vehicle position using radio wave from a GPS satellite.
* GPS satellites were launched by the U.S. Department of Defence for military purposes.

4. DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) player outline (for navigation map)
The navigation ECU uses a laser pickup to read the digital signals recorded on a DVD.
HINT:
Do not disassemble any part of the navigation system.
Do not apply oil to the navigation system.
Do not insert anything but a DVD into the navigation system.
CAUTION:
Because the navigation system uses an invisible laser beam, do not look directly at the laser pickup.
Be sure to only operate the navigation as instructed.
5. CD (Compact Disc) player outline
A CD player uses a laser pickup to read digital signals recorded on a CD. By converting the digital signals
to analog, it can play music and other things. In general, CD players can play a 4.7±inch (12 cm) or 3.2±inch
(8 cm) disc.
HINT:
Do not disassemble any part of the CD player.
Do not apply oil to the CD player.
Do not insert anything but a CD into the CD player.
CAUTION:
Because the CD player uses an invisible laser beam, do not look directly at the laser pickup. Be sure
to only operate the player as instructed.
