INFO:
For approximately 3 or 4 minutes after system
startup, the GPS indicator
remains gray ,
even if accurate positioning is possible.
POSITIONING ADJUSTMENT
When the system judges that the vehicle po-
sition information is not accurate based on ve-
hicle speed and gyro sensor data calculations,
the system will adjust the vehicle position in-
formation using GPS signals.
RECEIVING SIGNALS FROM
GPS SATELLITES
Sometimes, satellite reception is weak. The fol-
lowing are places where signals tend to be
weak:
Inside tunnels and parking lots in structures
Areas with numerous tall buildings
Under multi-layered highways
In a dense forestVehicles in these areas may not receive GPS
signals (Indicator color: gray).
INFO:
The antenna for GPS is located in the instru-
ment panel.Do not place any objects, es-
pecially mobile phones or transceivers,
on the instrument panel. Because the
strength of the GPS signal is approximately
one billionth of that of TV waves, phones and
transceivers will decrease the strength or may
totally disrupt the signals.
DISPLAY OF GPS INFORMA-
TION
This system displays GPS information.
Please refer to “GPS information display” on
page 11-13.NOTE:
Directional guidance provided by the
navigation system does not take carpool
lane driving into consideration, espe-
cially when carpool lanes are separated
from other road lanes.
