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.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45

Map-matching does not function correctly when a road on which
the vehicle is driving is new and not recorded in the map DVD-
ROM, or when 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 vehicle mark
on it. Then, when the correct road is detected, the vehicle mark
may change 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 current vehicle position and
the position on the map, correction by map-matching is not possible.
GPS (Global Positioning System)
GPS (Global Positioning System) was developed for and is con-
trolled by the US Department of Defense. The system utilizes GPS
satellites (NAVSTAR), sending out radio waves while flying on an
orbit around the earth at an altitude of approximately 21,000 km
(13,100miles).
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 with radio waves from four or more GPS satellites
(two-dimensional positioning).
Position correction by GPS is not available while the vehicle is stopped.
Accuracy of GPS will deteriorate under the following conditions:

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

The accuracy can be even lower depending on the arrangement of the GPS satellites utilized for the posi-
tioning.

Position detection is not possible when vehicle is in an area where radio waves from the GPS satellite do
not reach, such as in a tunnel, parking lot in a building, and under an elevated highway. Radio waves from
the GPS satellites may not be received when some object is located over the GPS antenna.
NOTE:

Even a high-precision three dimensional positioning, the detection result has an error about 10 m (30 ft).

Because the signals of GPS satellite is controlled by the Tracking and Control Center in the United States,
the accuracy may be degraded lower intentionally or the radio waves may stop.
HANDS-FREE PHONE

AV (NAVI) control unit has Bluetooth module. It can perform wireless hands-free telephone calls using a
cellular phone in vehicle compartment.

5 or more portable phones can be registered into the AV (NAVI) control unit.
REAR VIEW MONITOR

The small CCD camera is equipped into the rear end of the vehicle. The rear view monitor that displays
the area behind the vehicle while backing up is equipped.

Guiding lines indicating side and rear clearances are provided in the rear view monitor image, which
allows the driver to more easily judge distances between the vehicle and objects in the display. The possi-
ble route lines that indicate the possible route according to the steering angle are provided to help backing
up when parking.

Image quality of the rear view image and of the navigation screen can be adjusted separately.

NAVIGATION
Steering Angle Adjustment
The steering angle output value detected with the gyroscope can be
adjusted.
Speed Calibration
Usually the automatic distance correction function adjusts the mal-
function in distance caused by the tires wearing down or the tire
pressure change. If prompt adjustment is necessary when the tire
chains are installed etc., perform this procedure.
ERROR HISTORY
The diagnostic results of “Self-diagnosis” determine if any malfunction occurred between selecting “Self-diag-
nosis” and displaying “Self-diagnostic Results”.
If an error occurred before the ignition switch was turned ON and does not occur again until “Self-diagnosis” is
completed, the trouble diagnosis result will be judged normal. Therefore, errors in the past which cannot be
found by “Self-diagnosis”, must be found by checking the “Error record”.
The error history shows the error occurrence frequency in past. The frequency of occurrence is displayed by 2
types: the count down type and the count up type. Select either type according to the error item.
In “Error History” of models with NAVI, time and place that the selected error last occurred are displayed. Be
careful about the following.

If there is a malfunction with the GPS antenna circuit board in the NAVI control unit, the correct date of
occurrence may not be able to be displayed.

Place of the error occurrence is represented by the position of the current location mark at the time an
error occurred. If current location mark has deviated from the correct position, then the place of the error
occurrence cannot be located correctly.

Here is an example of functions. For details, refer to the owner's manual or navigation system owner's manual.
AUDIO
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.
