Principles of GPS (Global Positioning System) operation
Your Vehicle Navigation System directs you based on information derived
from satellites, road maps stored on the CD, sensors in your vehicle and
the desired destination. The system compiles all necessary information to
guide you to your selected destination. Space satellites determine the
vehicle’s current location and transmit position and time signals to your
car.
If the vehicle has been parked for a long period of time, the navigation
function may be temporarily unresponsive. The navigation system will
operate reliably again once GPS reception is available in a few minutes.
