NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Revision: August 20072004 QX56

In map-matching, alternative routes to reach the destination will
be shown and prioritized, after the road on which the vehicle is
currently driven has been judged and the current-location mark
has been repositioned.
If there is an error in distance and/or direction, the alternative
routes will be shown in different order of priority, and the wrong
road can be avoided.
If two roads are running in parallel, they are of the same priority.
Therefore, the current-location mark may appear on either of
them alternately, depending on maneuvering of the steering
wheel and configuration of the road.

Map-matching does not function correctly when the road on
which the vehicle is driving is new and not recorded in the map
DVD-ROM, or when the road pattern stored in the map data and
the actual road pattern are different due to repair.
When driving on a road not present in the map, the map-match-
ing function may find another road and position the current-loca-
tion mark on it. Then, when the correct road is detected, the
current-location mark may leap to it.

Effective range for comparing the vehicle position and travel
direction calculated by the distance and direction with the road
data read from the map DVD-ROM is limited. Therefore, when
there is an excessive gap between the current vehicle position
and the position on the map, correction by map-matching is not possible.
GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
GPS (Global Positioning System) has been developed and con-
trolled by the US Department of Defense. The system utilizes GPS
satellite (NAVSTAR), sending out radio waves while flying on an orbit
around the earth at the height of approx. 21,000 km (13,000 miles).
The GPS receiver calculates the vehicle's position in three dimen-
sions (latitude/longitude/altitude) according to the time lag of the
radio waves received from four or more GPS satellites (three-dimen-
sional positioning). If radio waves were received only from three
GPS satellites, the GPS receiver calculates the vehicle's position in
two dimensions (latitude/longitude), utilizing the altitude data calcu-
lated previously by using radio waves from four or more GPS satel-
lites (two-dimensional positioning).
Accuracy of the GPS will deteriorate under the following conditions.

In two-dimensional positioning, the GPS accuracy will deteriorate when the altitude of the vehicle position
changes.

There may be an error of approximately 10 m (30 ft) in position detected by three-dimensional positioning,
which is more accurate than two-dimensional positioning. The accuracy can be even lower depending on
the arrangement of the GPS satellites utilized for the positioning.

Position detection is not possible when the vehicle is in an area where radio waves from the GPS satellite
do not reach, such as in a tunnel, parking lot in a building, and under an elevated highway. Radio waves
from the GPS satellites may not be received when some object is located over the GPS antenna.

Position correction by GPS is not available while the vehicle is stopped.

On Board Self-Diagnosis FunctionEKS007LT
DESCRIPTION

Diagnosis function consists of the self-diagnosis mode performed automatically and the CONFIRMATION/
ADJUSTMENT mode operated manually.

Self-diagnosis mode checks for connections between the units constituting this system, analyzes each
individual unit at the same time, and displays the results on the LCD screen.

CONFIRMATION/ADJUSTMENT mode is used to perform trouble diagnosis that require operation and
judgment by an operator (trouble that cannot be automatically judged by the system), to check/change the
set value, and to display the History of Errors of the navigation system.
DIAGNOSIS ITEM
NOTE:
Make the status that is set by D/N function be shown.
Self-Diagnosis Mode (DCU)EKS007LU
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the audio system off.
Mode Description
Self-diagnosis (DCU) Display control unit diagnosis.
Self-diagnosis (NAVI)

NAVI Control unit diagnosis (DVD-ROM drive) will not be diagnosed
when no map DVD-ROM is in it.

Analyzes connection between the NAVI control unit and the GPS
antenna and operation of each unit.
CONFIRMATION/
ADJUSTMENTDisplay diagnosisIn display control unit mode, color tone and shading of the screen can be
checked by the display of a color bar and a gray scale.
Vehicle signalsIn display control unit mode, analyzes the following vehicle signals: Vehi-
cle speed signal, light signal
NOTE , ignition switch signal, and reverse sig-
nal.
Auto Climate Control A/C self-diagnosis of A/C system.
NavigationDisplay diagnosisIn NAVI C/U mode, color tone and shading of the screen can be checked
by the display of a color bar and a gray scale.
Vehicle signalsIn NAVI C/U mode, analyzes the following vehicle signals: Vehicle speed
signal, light signal, ignition switch signal, and reverse signal.
History of ErrorsDiagnosis results previously stored in the memory (before turning ignition
switch ON) are displayed in this mode. Time and location when/where the
errors occurred are also displayed.
Naviga-
tionDisplay Lon-
gitude & Lat-
itudeDisplay the map. Use the joystick to adjust position. Longitude and latitude
will be displayed.
Speed Cali-
brationUnder ordinary conditions, the navigation system distance measuring
function will automatically compensate for minute decreases in wheel and
tire diameter caused by tire wear or low-pressure. Speed calibration imme-
diately restores system accuracy in cases such as when distance calibra-
tion is needed because of the use of tire chains in inclement weather.
Angle
adjustmentCorrects difference between actual turning angle of a vehicle and turning
angle of the car mark on the display.
Initialize
LocationThis mode is for initializing the current location. Use when the vehicle is
transported a long distance on a trailer, etc.
CAN DIAG SUPPORT MONITOR Display status of CAN communication.

1. The navigation screen will be shown, and items “Display Longi-
tude & Latitude”, “Speed Calibration”, “Angle Adjustment” and
“Initialize Location” will become selective.
2. Select each switch on “NAVIGATION” screen to display the rele-
vant diagnosis screen.
GPS RTC
malfunctionClock IC in GPS substrate is malfunctioning.

Correct time may not be displayed.

After the power is turned on, the system
always takes some time until GPS positioning
becomes possible. (The GPS receiver starts
positioning without re-collecting the whole sat-
ellite information when it judged the data
stored in the receiver is correct.)

Correct time of error occurrence may not be
stored in the ″History of Errors″.

Perform self-diagnosis.

When the NAVI control unit is judged normal by self-diagnosis,
the symptom may be intermittent, caused by strong radio inter-
ference.
