INFO:
For approximately 3 or 4 minutes after system
startup, the GPS indicator
remains gray,
even if accurate positioning is possible.
POSITIONING ADJUSTMENTWhen 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
SATELLITESSometimes, satellite reception is weak. The fol-
lowing are places where signals tend to be
weak:
Inside tunnels and parking garages
Areas with numerous tall buildings
Under multi-layered highways
In a dense forest
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 trans-
ceivers, 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 INFORMATIONThis system displays GPS information.
Please refer to “GPS information display” on
page 11-17.
NOTE:
Directional guidance provided by the navi-
gation system does not take carpool lane
driving into consideration, especially when
carpool lanes are separated from other
road lanes.This system is designed to help you reach your
destination, and also performs other functions as
outlined in this manual. However, you, the driver,
must use the system safely and properly. Infor-
mation concerning road conditions, traffic signs
and the availability of services may not always be
up-to-date. The system is not a substitute for
safe, proper, and legal driving.

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 several names of the
roads or locations will be displayed, and the names
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
example 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
turning the headlights on.When the lights were last turned on, the last setting
