charged. If this occurs, service the vehicle's battery as necessary and re-enter the information in the Address Book.
VEHICLE ICON
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
No image is displayed.The brightness is at the lowest setting. Adjust the brightness of the display.
The display is turns off.
Push and hold to turn on the display.
No voice guidance is available.
The volume is too high or too low.The volume is not set correctly, or it is turned off. Adjust the volume of voice guidance.
Volume guidance is not provided for narrow streets
(roads displayed in gray).This is not a malfunction.
No map is displayed on the screen.The map DVD-ROM is not inserted, or it is inserted
upside down.Insert the map DVD-ROM correctly.
A screen other than map screen is displayed. Push “MAP”.
The screen is too dim.
The movement is slow.The temperature in the interior of the vehicle is low.Wait until the interior of the vehicle has
warmed up.
Some pixels in the display are
darker or brighter than others.This condition is an inherent characteristic of liquid
crystal displays.This is not a malfunction.
Some menu items cannot be
selected.Some menu items become unavailable while the
vehicle is driven.Park the vehicle in a safe location, and
then operate the navigation system.
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations dif-
fer between Plan view and Bird-
view™.This is because the quantity of the displayed infor-
mation is reduced so that the screen does not
become too crowded. There is also a chance that
names of the roads or locations may be displayed
multiple times, and the names appearing on the
screen may be different because of a processing
procedure.This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle icon is not displayed in
the correct position.The vehicle was transported after the ignition switch
was turned off, for example, by a ferry or car trans-
porter.Drive the vehicle for a while on a road
where GPS can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle may be
incorrect depending on the driving environments and
the levels of positioning accuracy of the navigation
system.This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehi-
cle for a while to automatically correct the
position and direction of the vehicle icon.
When the vehicle is travelling on a
new road, the vehicle icon is
located on another road nearby.Because the new road is not stored in the map data,
the system automatically places the vehicle ion on
the nearest road available. Updated road information will be included
in the next version of the map DVD-ROM.
The screen does not switch to the
night screen even after turning on
the headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the head-
lights were turned on.Set the screen to the night screen mode
using when turning on the headlights.
The map does not scroll even
when the vehicle is moving.The current location map screen is not displayed. Push “MAP”.
The vehicle icon is not displayed. The current location map screen is not displayed. Push “MAP”.

MAP DVD-ROM
ROUTE CALCULATION AND VISUAL GUIDANCE
The GPS indicator on the screen
remains gray.GPS signals cannot be received depending on the
vehicle location, such as in a parking garage, on a
road that has numerous tall buildings, etc.Drive on an open, straight road for a
while.
GPS signals cannot be received because objects
are placed on the instrument panel.Remove the objects from the instrument
panel.
A sufficient amount of GPS satellites are not avail-
able.Wait for the satellites to move locations
available for navigation system.
The location of vehicle icon is mis-
aligned from the actual position.When using tire chains or replacing the tires, speed
calculations based on the speed sensor may be
incorrect.Drive the vehicle for a while [at approxi-
mately 30 km/h (19 MPH) for about 30
minutes] to automatically correct the vehi-
cle icon position.
If this does not correct the vehicle icon
position, inspect AV system.
The map data has mistake or is incomplete (the
vehicle icon position is always misaligned in the
same area).Updated road information will be included
in the next version of the map DVD-ROM. Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
The message “Error” appears. Map DVD-ROM is dirty or partially damaged.Check the DVD-ROM and wipe it clean
with a soft cloth.
If there is any damage, replace the DVD-
ROM.
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
In the auto reroute calculation,
waypoints are not included.Waypoints already passed are not included in the
auto reroute calculation.In case of going to that waypoints again,
edit the route.
Route information is not displayed.Route calculation has not yet been performed.Set the destination and perform route cal-
culation.
The vehicle is not driven on the suggested route. Drive on the suggested route.
Route guidance is set to off. Turn on route guidance.
Route information is not provided for narrow streets
(roads displayed in gray).This is not a malfunction.
The auto reroute calculation (or
detour calculation) suggests the
same route as the one previously

sideration, but the same route was calculated. This is not a malfunction.
A waypoint cannot be added.Five waypoints are already set on the route, includ-
ing ones that already passed.A maximum of 5 waypoints can be set on
the route. In case of going to 6 or more
waypoints, perform route calculations mul-
tiple times as necessary.
The suggested route is not dis-
played.Roads near the destination cannot be calculated.Reset the destination to a main or ordinary
road, and recalculate the route.
The starting point and destination are too close. Set a more distant destination.
The starting point and destination are too far away.Divide the way by selecting one or two
intermediate destinations, and perform
route calculations multiple times.
There are time restricted roads (by day of week, by
time) near the current vehicle location or destina-
tion.Set “Use Time Restricted Roads” to off.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
System FunctionsNKS004AB
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.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
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 (30ft).

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.
MOBILE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM

The wireless headphone has been adopted to the rear seat. It is possible to listen to a separate sound in
front seat and rear seat and to see a separate image in front display and rear display.

When headphone mode is turned ON at radio/CD changer mode, AUX or DVD mode is turned ON only for
rear seat. The image that is different from front seat is displayed and a separate sound is output from
speaker and headphone.
HANDS-FREE PHONE

AV (NAVI) control unit has a Bluetooth module. It can perform wireless hands-free telephone calls using
the portable phone in a pocket.

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.

SATELLITE TUNER

The satellite tuner is connected with the audio unit via communi-
cation line.

It sends the received sound signal from the satellite radio
antenna to the audio unit.
AV CONTROL UNIT (WITHOUT NAVI)

It controls each unit of the system by the operation signal from
the multifunction switch and sends the image signal of operating
condition or vehicle information, etc. to the display unit.

It receives the TEL input voice or the input voice at voice control
from the microphone. It receives the received TEL voice, and
then sends it to the audio unit.

It sends the voice guidance signal to BOSE amp (BOSE sys-
tem).
NAVI CONTROL UNIT (WITH NAVI)

It controls each unit of the system by the operation signal from
the multifunction switch and sends the image signal of operating
condition or vehicle information, etc. to the display unit.

It receives the TEL input voice or the input voice at voice control
from the microphone. It receives the received TEL voice, and
then sends it to the audio unit.

The gyro (angle speed sensor) and the DVD-ROM drive are
built-in units that control the navigation functions.

Signals are received from the gyro, the vehicle speed sensor,
and the GPS antenna. Vehicle location is determined by com-
bining this data with the data contained in the DVD-ROM map.
Location information is shown on liquid crystal display panel.
FRONT DISPLAY UNIT

It receives the RGB signal and the image signal of video distrib-
utor and camera control unit from AV (NAVI) control unit.

The changing of image is controlled by the communication with
AV ( N AV I ) c o n t r o l u n i t .

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.
