Start the driving after closing the opening screen as much as possible. The system is ready
to start during opening screen.

The vehicle position indicator may disappear temporarily after the speed is increased
depending on the vehicle model. This is a normal phenomenon indicating that the system
is calculating the distance correction.
The mobile navigation system uses GPS data for distance correction automatically. It must be
properly calibrated for accurate operation. Perform calibration in any of the following circumstances:
1. When using the navigation system for the very first time after installing the system.
2. When the navigation system is transferred to another vehicle.
3. When the tire pressure is changed, tires are rotated, the spare tire is used, tire size, or
wheel diameter is changed.
4. When deleting the position correction learning results.
Notes
Before Use
Make sure the GPS reception indicator is illuminated on the map screen.
GPS reception indicator Drive the vehicle in an open area for approximately 30-minutes at a speed over 20 kph
(12.5 MPH) while receiving GPS signals.
