POSITIONING ADJUSTMENT
When the system judges that the vehicle posi-
tion information is not accurate based on vehicle
speed and gyro sensor data calculations, the
system will adjust the vehicle position informa-
tion using GPS signals.
RECEIVING SIGNALS FROM GPS
SATELLITES
Sometimes, satellite reception is weak. The fol-
lowing are places where signals tend to be
weak:
cInside tunnels and parking lots in buildings
cAreas with numerous tall buildings
cUnder multi-layered highways
cIn a dense forest
cNear military bases and certain government
facilities
Vehicles in these areas may not receive GPS
signals (Indicator color: gray) .INFO:
The antenna for GPS is located on the instru-
ment panel inside the vehicle.Do not place
any objects, especially mobile phones or
transceivers, on the instrument panel.Be-
cause the strength of the GPS signals are ap-
proximately one billionth of that of TV waves;
phones and transceivers will decrease the
strength or may totally disrupt the signals.DISPLAY OF GPS INFORMATION
This system displays GPS information.
Please refer to “GPS information display” on
page 11-17.

Symptom Possible cause Remedy
The location names differ, between Planview and
Birdview™.This is because the displayed information is reduced so
that the screen does not become too crowded. There is
also a chance that names of roads or locations will be dis-
played twice. The name appearing on the screen may be
different because of a processing procedure.This should not be regarded as abnormal.
The vehicle icon is not shown correctly. The vehicle might have moved with the ignition off, for ex-
ample on a ferry boat or car transporter.Drive the vehicle with the GPS on for some distance.
The screen does not switch to night screen even after turn-
ing the headlights on.When the lights were last turned on, the last setting was
the daytime screen.Turn the headlights on again, go to [DISPLAY SETTING]

placed on the instrumental panel.Remove the objects from the instrumental panel.
GPS satellites are in poor locations. Please wait for the satellites to move to better locations.
