SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Upper ventilator door control system components are:
Unified meter and A/C amp.
Upper ventilator door motor (LCU)
A/C LAN system (PBR built-in mode door motor, upper ventilator door motor, air mix door motor and
intake door motor)
Sunload sensor
System Operation
The unified meter and A/C amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The unified meter and A/C amp.
sends air mix door, mode door, upper ventilator door and intake door opening angle data to the air mix door
motor LCU, mode door motor LCU, upper ventilator door motor LCU and intake door motor LCU.
The air mix door motor, mode door motor, upper ventilator door motor and intake door motor read their respec-
tive signals according to the address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the unified meter
and A/C amp. and each of the motor position sensors are compared by the LCUs in each door motor with the
existing decision and opening angles. Subsequently, HOT/COLD, DEF/VENT, OPEN/SHUT and FRE/REC
operation is selected. The new selection data are returned to the unified meter and A/C amp.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
System FunctionsNKS00489
Here is an example of functions. For details, refer to the owner's manual or navigation system owner's manual.
AUDIO
Speed Sensitive Volume (for BASE System)
Volume level of this system gone up and down automatically in proportion to the vehicle speed. And the
control level can be selected by the customer.
The audio unit inputs the vehicle signal that is sent from unified meter and A/C amp via CAN communica-
tion through AV (NAVI) control unit.
Precision Phased Audio (for BASE System)
It plays back the sound using the woofer (ultra-low bass and clear midrange sound) and reproduces the
sound with presence.
When the conventional BASS/TREBLE adjustment is a maximum, the sounds might be unclear because
the volume of midrange sound also rises together with the bass and treble. The precision phased audio
can emphasize ultra-low bass and ultra-high treble without changing the midrange sound by digital pro-
cessing using DSP.
NOTE:
When the radio is played, the noise may increase more than the presence due to the characteristics of
broadcasting waves. Therefore, the amplification rate while playing the radio is controlled lower than the
rate while playing CD.
AudioPilot® (for BOSE System)
AudioPilot® is the sound improving system that picks up any noises and the sound of music coming into the
vehicle by a microphone under the steering, and that the BOSE amp revises the frequency feature of music at
real time in response to the frequency feature of the noise while driving and listening to music.
If low frequency area noise from vehicle is loud, it adjusts low frequency element of music to be bigger
than vehicle noise.
If high frequency area noise from vehicle is loud, it adjusts all frequency element of music to be bigger
than vehicle noise.
Centerpoint® (for BOSE Surround 5.1ch System)
CD and 2.0ch DVD stereo sound played at audio unit and DVD player are subjected to signal processing in
BOSE amp. It can play the surround sound with presence.
VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEM
The status of audio, climate control system, fuel consumption, and navigation system (if equipped) are
displayed.
AV (NAVI) control unit receives the data signal from ECM, unified meter and A/C amp and low tire pres-
sure warning control unit via CAN communication. It calculates the values of fuel economy, tire pressure,
and trip computer from the received information and displays them.
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Location Detection Principle
The navigation system periodically calculates the vehicle's current
position according to the following three signals:
Travel distance of the vehicle as determined by the vehicle
speed sensor
Turning angle of the vehicle as determined by the gyroscope
(angular velocity sensor)
Direction of vehicle travel as determined by the GPS antenna
(GPS information)
The current position of the vehicle is then identified by comparing the
calculated vehicle position with map data read from the map DVD-
ROM, which is stored in the DVD-ROM drive (map-matching), and

indicated on the screen as a vehicle mark. More accurate data is judged and used by comparing vehicle posi-
tion detection results found by the GPS with the result by map-matching.
The current vehicle position will be calculated by detecting the dis-
tance the vehicle moved from the previous calculation point and its
direction.
Travel distance
Travel distance calculations are based on the vehicle speed
sensor input signal. Therefore, the calculation may become
incorrect as the tires wear down. To prevent this, an automatic
distance correction function has been adopted.
Travel direction
Change in the travel direction of the vehicle is calculated by a
gyroscope (angular velocity sensor) and a GPS antenna (GPS
information). They have both advantages and disadvantages.
More accurate traveling direction is detected because priorities are set for the signals from these two
devices according to the situation.
Map-Matching
Map-matching compares a current location detected by the method
in the “Location Detection Principle” with a road map data from Map
DVD-ROM stored in DVD-ROM drive.
NOTE:
The road map data is based on data stored in the map DVD-ROM.
The vehicle position may not be corrected under the following circumstances and after driving for a certain
time when GPS information is difficult to receive. In this case, the vehicle mark on the display must be cor-
rected manually.
In map-matching, alternative routes to reach the destination will
be shown and prioritized, after the road on which the vehicle is
currently driven has been judged and the vehicle mark has been
repositioned.
If there is an error in distance and/or direction, alternative routes
will be shown in different order of priority, and the incorrect road
can be avoided.
If two roads are running in parallel, they are of the same priority.
Therefore, the vehicle mark may appear on either of them alter-
nately, depending on maneuvering of the steering wheel and
configuration of the road.
SEL684V
Type Advantage Disadvantage
Gyroscope
(angular velocity sensor)Can detect the vehicle's turning angle quite
accurately.Direction errors may accumulate when vehicle is
driven for long distances without stopping.
GPS antenna
(GPS information)Can detect the vehicle's travel direction
(North/South/East/West).Correct direction cannot be detected when vehi-
cle speed is low.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEMPFP:00000
Multifunction Switch Self-Diagnosis FunctionNKS0048T
It can check each switch ON/OFF (continuity) operation of centralized switches.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
Turn the ignition switch from OFF position to ACC position.
Within 10 seconds, press and hold BACK switch and switch
for 3 seconds or more. Then, when these switches are released,
the buzzer sounds, all indicators of multifunction switch turned
on, and self-diagnosis mode is started.
When each switch is pressed, the switch continuity can be
checked by sounding the buzzer.
CAUTION:
The hazard switch cannot be checked.
FINISHING SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
When the ignition switch is turned ON, self-diagnosis mode is canceled.
Multi AV System Diagnosis FunctionsNKS0048U
There are 2 diagnosis functions (On board diagnosis and diagnosis using CONSULT-II). It is necessary to
use them properly according to the condition. If the on board diagnosis starts, perform diagnosis with on
board diagnosis. If the on board diagnosis does not start (because the display is not displayed, the multi-
function switch operation is not activated, etc.), perform diagnosis using CONSULT-II.
At on board diagnosis, the AV (NAVI) control unit diagnosis function starts when multifunction switch oper-
ation and the AV (NAVI) control unit performs the diagnosis for each unit of system. Then, it displays the
results on the display.
At diagnosis using CONSULT-II, the AV (NAVI) control unit diagnosis function starts when the CAN com-
munication and the AV (NAVI) control unit perform the diagnosis for each unit of system.
On Board DiagnosisNKS0048V
DESCRIPTION
It has Self-Diagnosis mode for conducting trouble diagnosis automatically and a Confirmation/Adjustment
mode for operating manually.
Self-diagnosis mode diagnoses AV (NAVI) control unit and communication of each unit composing sys-
tem, and displays self-diagnosis results. NAVI control unit diagnoses communication with GPS antenna
simultaneously.
Confirmation/Adjustment mode is used to monitor the vehicle signals requiring operation and judgement
by a technician (malfunctions that cannot be automatically judged by the system), the confirmation/
change/adjustment of setting value, the error history of system, and the communication condition of sys-
tem.
