Initialize Location
Description
Location data for GPS in the Center control unit is initialized in Europe by this mode. Then it is possible for
Center control unit to receive GPS signals for short time.
How to perform “Initialize Location” mode
1. select “Initialize Location”, and push “ENTER”.
2. A message “Please wait.” is displayed and then backs to
another display of “Confirmation/Adjustment” mode.
NOTE:
To continue GPS initialized operation, operate as follows back to
“Map” screen.
–Push “BACK” button twice.
–Push “MAP” button.
After above operation, GPS indicator changes to green color
within half a minute, unless improper GPS located condition.
This operation should be performed in out side field.
FEATURE RESTRICTION SETTING
Operations of navigation system that are performed while driving
can be restricted by using this function.
CAUTION:
Once operational restrictions are imposed, they can not be can-
celled even when the software is updated or the language-
switching program is loaded.

BASIC OPERATIONS

Symptom Possible cause Remedy
No image comes on.The brightness adjustment is at the lowest set-
ting.Adjust to brighter setting.
No map comes on the screen.No map DVD-ROM is inserted, or it is inserted
upside down.Insert the DVD-ROM correctly.
The map display mode is switched off. Push the “MAP” button.
No voice guidance is available. or
The volume is not high enough.The volume is not set correctly or it is turned
off.Adjust the volume correctly.
The screen is too dim. The move-
ment is slow.The temperature in the vehicle is low. Wait for the temperature to rise.
There are darker or brighter dots
in the display.It is inherent to LC displays. This is not malfunction.
Symptom Possible cause Remedy
The location names differ between
PLAN VIEW 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 the roads or locations will be repeat-
edly displayed. The name appearing on the
screen may be different because of the pro-
cessing procedure.It should not be regarded as malfunction.
The vehicle mark is not shown
correctly.The vehicle might have moved with the ignition
off, for example on a ferry boat or car trans-
porter.Drive the vehicle with GPS on for some dis-
tance.
The screen does not switch to
night mode even after turning the
headlights on.The last time the lights were turned on, your
setting was in daytime mode.Turn the headlights on again, go to DISPLAY
SETTINGS screen and set it to the night
mode.
The map does not scroll even
when the vehicle is traveling.The display is not switched to the map screen. Push the “MAP” button.
The vehicle mark does not show
up.The display is not switched to the map screen. Push the “MAP” button.
GPS indicator on the screen
remains gray.GPS signals are not received because the vehi-
cle is indoors or in the shade of buildings.Move the vehicle outdoors with a clear view of
the sky.
GPS satellites are in poor locations.Wait for the satellites to move to better loca-
tions.
The location of the vehicle mark
does not match the actual posi-
tion.Driving on slippery road surface If the vehicle mark does not move to the cor-
rect position even after the vehicle has been
driven for approximately 10 km (6 miles),
adjust the current location. If necessary, adjust
the moving speed of the vehicle. Driving on slanted area
Rough or violent driving.If the position maker does not move to the cor-
rect position even after the vehicle has been
driven for approximately 10 km (6 miles),
adjust the current location.
GPS indicator remains gray.Please check the GPS indicator on the screen
to see if it remains gray.
Errors (gain or loss) result in calculating the
speed from the speed pulse because the vehi-
cle has tire chains on, or the system was trans-
ferred to a different vehicle.It will move by driving the vehicle for 30 min-
utes [in case it is running at 30 km/h (19
MPH)]. If you still notice errors, adjust moving
speed.
The map data has an error or is incomplete (if
the location error always happens in the same
area).Please wait for the updated Map

ROUTE CALCULATION
NOTE:
Except for the ordinance-designated cities and the prefectural capitals. (Applicable areas may be changed in the updated map disc.) Symptom Possible cause Remedy
Although the system is set with
the moving direction as the prefer-
ence, it does not find the route by
matching the preference.There is no route found in that direction. This is not malfunction.
Route is not indicated.There is no road close to the destination that
can be found by this system.Reset the destination close to the road dis-
played with orange, or wider ones. Especially
with roads which have separate lanes for
opposite directions, be careful in setting the
destination or way points on it, as results may
differ depending on the lane you choose.
The starting point to the destination is too close. Set more distant destinations.
The route is not displayed continu-
ously at way points that are for
example not calculated routes
from the vehicle's current position.Suggested routes may be displayed discontinu-
ously near way points as route calculation is
done at each way point.This is not malfunction.
The suggested route the vehicle
has travelled is erased.Suggested routes are stored in memory by the
blocks; if the vehicle travels past way point 1,
the former data will be erased.This is not malfunction.
A very detoured route is sug-
gested.If there are restrictions (such as one-way traffic)
on roads close to the starting point or destina-
tion, the system may suggest a detoured route.Try slightly moving the starting point or desti-
nation.
The landmark description does
not correspond to the actual one.It may be caused by insufficient or incorrect
data on the DVD-ROM.Please wait for the update Map DVD-ROM.
The suggested route does not
exactly connect to the starting
point, way points, or destination.There is no data for route calculation closer to
these points.Set these points on the main road displayed in
thick orange. Please note that in some cases
even main roads lack the data for route calcu-
lation.

VEHICLE MARK IS IN A RIVER OR SEA
The navigation system moves the vehicle mark with no distinction between land and rivers or sea. If the vehi-
cle mark is somehow out of place, it may appear that the vehicle is driving in a river or the sea.
VEHICLE MARK AUTOMATICALLY ROTATES
The system wrongly memorizes the rotating status as stopping when the ignition switch is turned ON with the
turntable rotating. That causes the vehicle mark to rotate when the vehicle is stopped.
WHEN DRIVING ON SAME ROAD, SOMETIMES VEHICLE MARK IS IN RIGHT PLACE AND
SOMETIMES IT IS WRONG PLACE
The conditions of the GPS antenna (GPS data) and gyroscope (angular speed sensor) change gradually.
Depending on the road traveled and the operation of the steering wheel, the location detection results will be
different. Therefore, even on a road on which the location has never been wrong, conditions may cause the
vehicle mark to deviate.
LOCATION CORRECTION BY MAP-MATCHING IS SLOW
The map matching function needs to refer to the data of the surrounding area. It is necessary to drive
some distance for the function to work.
Because map matching operates on this principle, when there are many roads running in similar direc-
tions in the surrounding area, no matching determination may be made. The location may not be cor-
rected until some special feature is found.
ALTHOUGH GPS RECEIVING DISPLAY IS GREEN, VEHICLE MARK DOES NOT RETURN TO
CORRECT LOCATION
The GPS accuracy has an error of approximately 10 m (30 ft). In some cases the vehicle mark may not be
on the correct street, even when GPS location-correction is done.
The navigation system compares the results of GPS location detection with the results from map-match-
ing location detection. The one which is determined to have higher accuracy is used.
GPS location correction may not be performed when the vehicle is stopped.
NAME OF CURRENT PLACE IS NOT DISPLAYED
The current place name may not be displayed if there are no place names displayed on the map screen.
CONTENTS OF DISPLAY DIFFER FOR BIRDVIEW® AND THE (FLAT) MAP SCREEN
Difference of the BIRDVIEW
® Screen From the Flat Map Screen Are As Follows
The current place name displays names which are primarily in the direction of vehicle travel.
The amount of time before the vehicle travel or turn angle is updated on the screen is longer than for the
(flat) map display.
The conditions for display of place names, roads, and other data are different for nearby areas and for
more distant areas.
Some thinning of the character data is done to prevent the display becoming to complex. In some cases
and in some locations, the display contents may differ.
The same place name, street name, etc. may be displayed multiple times.
