BLUETOOTH® HANDS-FREE PHONE SYSTEM
Refer to the Owner's Manual for Bluetooth telephone system operating instructions.
NOTE:
Cellular telephones must have their wireless connection set up (paired) before using the Bluetooth telephone
system.
Bluetooth telephone system allows users who have a Bluetooth cellular telephone to make a wireless connec-
tion between their cellular telephone and the Bluetooth control unit. Hands-free cellular telephone calls can be
sent and received. Personal memos can be created using the Infinity Voice Recognition system. Some Blue-
tooth cellular telephones may not be recognized by the Bluetooth control unit. When a cellular telephone or
the Bluetooth control unit is replaced, the telephone must be paired with the Bluetooth control unit. Different
cellular telephones may have different pairing procedures. Refer to the cellular telephone operating manual.

Bluetooth Control Unit
When the ignition switch is turned to ACC or ON, the Bluetooth control unit will power up. During power up, the
Bluetooth control unit is initialized and performs various self checks. Initialization may take up to 10 seconds.
During this time the Bluetooth ON indicator will flash until initialization is complete. Infinity Voice Recognition
will then become active and the Bluetooth ON indicator will remain on. Bluetooth telephone functions can be
turned off using the voice recognition system.
BCM
The BCM supplies power for the Bluetooth ON indicator.
Steering Wheel Audio Control Switches
When buttons on the steering wheel audio control switch are pushed, the resistance in steering wheel audio
control switch circuit changes depending on which button is pushed. The Bluetooth control module uses this
signal to perform various functions while navigating through the voice recognition system.
The following functions can be performed using the steering wheel audio control switch:

Initiate Self Diagnosis of the Bluetooth telephone system

Start a voice recognition session

Answer and end telephone calls

Adjust the volume of calls

MAP-MATCHING
Map-matching is a function that repositions the vehicle on the road
map when a new location is judged to be the most accurate. This is
done by comparing the current vehicle position, calculated by the
method described in the position detection principle, with the road
map data around the vehicle, read from the map DVD-ROM stored in
the DVD-ROM drive.
Therefore, the vehicle position may not be corrected after the vehicle
is driven over a certain distance or time in which GPS information is
hard to receive. In this case, the current-location mark on the display
must be corrected manually.
CAUTION:
The road map data is based on data stored in the map DVD-
ROM.

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 current-location mark
has been repositioned.
If there is an error in distance and/or direction, the alternative
routes will be shown in different order of priority, and the wrong
road can be avoided.
If two roads are running in parallel, they are of the same priority.
Therefore, the current-location mark may appear on either of
them alternately, depending on maneuvering of the steering
wheel and configuration of the road.

Map-matching does not function correctly when the road on
which the vehicle is driving is new and not recorded in the map
DVD-ROM, or when the road pattern stored in the map data and
the actual road pattern are different due to repair.
When driving on a road not present in the map, the map-match-
ing function may find another road and position the current-loca-
tion mark on it. Then, when the correct road is detected, the
current-location mark may leap to it.

Effective range for comparing the vehicle position and travel
direction calculated by the distance and direction with the road
data read from the map DVD-ROM is limited. Therefore, when
there is an excessive gap between the current vehicle position
and the position on the map, correction by map-matching is not possible.
GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
GPS (Global Positioning System) has been developed and con-
trolled by the US Department of Defense. The system utilizes GPS
satellite (NAVSTAR), sending out radio waves while flying on an orbit
around the earth at the height of approx. 21,000 km (13,000 miles).
The GPS receiver calculates the vehicle's position in three dimen-
sions (latitude/longitude/altitude) according to the time lag of the
radio waves received from four or more GPS satellites (three-dimen-
sional positioning). If radio waves were received only from three
GPS satellites, the GPS receiver calculates the vehicle's position in
two dimensions (latitude/longitude), utilizing the altitude data calcu-
lated previously by using radio waves from four or more GPS satel-
lites (two-dimensional positioning).
Accuracy of the GPS will deteriorate under the following conditions.

In two-dimensional positioning, the GPS accuracy will deteriorate when the altitude of the vehicle position
changes.

There may be an error of approximately 10 m (30 ft) in position detected by three-dimensional positioning,
which is more accurate than two-dimensional positioning. The accuracy can be even lower depending on
the arrangement of the GPS satellites utilized for the positioning.

ROUTE SEARCH
NOTE:
Except for the ordinance-designated cities. (Malfunctioning areas may be changed in the updated map disc.)Symptom
Cause Remedy
No route is shown. No road to be searched is found around the des-
tination. Find wider road (orange road or wider)
nearby and reset the destination and passing
points onto it. Take care of the traveling
direction when there are separate up and
down roads.
Starting point and the destination are too close. Set the destination at more distant point.
Conditional traffic regulation (day of the week/
time of the day) is set at the area around the cur-
rent location or the destination. Turn the time-regulating search conditions
OFF. Turn
“Avoid regulation time” in the
search conditions OFF.
Indicated route is intermittent. In some areas, highways (gray routes) are not used for the search
(Note) Therefore, the route to
the current location or the passing points may be
intermittent. System is not malfunctioning.
When the vehicle has passed the
recommended route, it is deleted
from the screen. A recommended route is controlled by each sec-
tion. When the vehicle has passed the passing
point 1, then the map data from the starting point
up to the passing point 1 will be deleted. (The
data may remain undeleted in some areas.) System is not malfunctioning.
Detouring route is recommended. In some areas, highways (gray routes) are not used for the search. (Note). Therefore, detour
route may be recommended. Set the route closer to the basic route (gray
route).
A detour route may be shown when some traffic
regulation (one-way traffic, etc.) is set at the area
around the starting point or the destination. Slightly move the starting point or the desti-
nation, or set the passing point on the route
of your choice.
In the area where highways (gray routes) are
used for the search, left turn has priority around
the current location and the destination (passing
points). For this reason, the recommended route
may be detouring. System is not malfunctioning.
Landmarks on the map do not
match the actual ones. This can be happen due to omission or error in
the map data. As a rule, an updated map DVD-ROM will be
released once a year. Wait until the latest
map has become available.
Recommended route is far from
the starting point, passing points,
and destination. Starting point, passing points, and destination of
the route guide were set far from the desired
points because route searching data around
these area were not stored. Reset the destination onto the road nearby. If
this road is one of the highways (gray
routes), an ordinary road nearby may be dis-
played as the recommended route.

CURRENT-LOCATION MARK IS IN A RIVER OR SEA
The navigation system moves the current-location mark with no distinction between land and rivers or sea. If
the location mark is somehow out of place, it may appear that the vehicle is driving in a river or the sea.
WHEN DRIVING ON SAME ROAD, SOMETIMES CURRENT-LOCATION 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 current-location 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 too 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.

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)PFP:284B2
System DescriptionEKS00D7W

BCM (Body Control Module) controls the operation of various electrical units installed on the vehicle.
BCM FUNCTION
BCM has a combination switch reading function for reading the operation of combination switches (light, wiper
washer, turn signal) in addition to the function for controlling the operation of various electrical components.
Also, it functions as an interface that receives signals from the front air control, and sends signals to ECM
using CAN communication.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
1. Description

BCM reads combination switch (light, wiper) status, and controls various electrical components accord-
ing to the results.

BCM reads information of a maximum of 20 switches by combining five output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5)
and five input terminals (INPUT 1-5).
2. Operation description

BCM activates transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) periodically and allows current to flow in
turn.

If any (1 or more) of the switches are turned ON, circuit of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) and input ter-
minals (INPUT 1-5) becomes active.

At this time, transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) are activated to allow current to flow. When
voltage of input terminals (INPUT 1-5) corresponding to that switch changes, interface in BCM detects
voltage change and BCM determines that switch is ON.
3. BCM - Operation table of combination switch

BCM reads operation status of combination switch by the combination shown in the following table.

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
NOTE:
Headlamp has a dual system switch.
4. Example operation: (When lighting switch 1st position turned ON)

When lighting switch 1st position is turned ON, contact in combination switch turns ON. At this time if
OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5.

When OUTPUT 4 transistor is ON, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5, and judges lighting
switch 1st position is ON. Then BCM sends tail lamp ON signal to IPDM E/R using CAN communica-
tion.

When OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated again, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5 and rec-
ognizes that lighting switch 1st position is continuously ON.

BCM is activated with low current consumption mode.

CAN communication is not active.

When CAN communication operation is detected, it switches to CAN communication status.

When a state of the following switches changes, it switches to CAN communication state:
–Ignition switch
–Key switch (insert)
–Hazard switch
–Main door lock/unlock switch
–Front door switch (LH, RH)
–Rear door switch (LH, RH)
–Back latch (door ajar switch)
–Glass hatch ajar switch
–Combination switch (passing, lighting switch 1st position, front fog lamp)
–Keyfob (lock/unlock signal)
–Front door lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch)

When control performed only by BCM is required by switch, it shifts to CAN communication inactive
mode.

Status of combination switch reading function is changed.
