2. Navigation system outline
(a) Vehicle position tracking methods
It is essential that the navigation system correctly
tracks the current vehicle position and displays it on
the map. There are 2 methods to track the current
vehicle position: autonomous (dead reckoning) and
GPS* (satellite) navigation. Both navigation
methods are used in conjunction with each other.
*GPS (Global Positioning System)

Operation Description
Vehicle Position CalculationThe radio and navigation assembly calculates the current vehicle
position (direction and current position) using the direction deviation
signal from the gyro sensor and the running distance signal from the
vehicle speed sensor and creates the driving route.
Map Display ProcessingThe radio and navigation assembly displays the vehicle track on the
map by processing the vehicle position data, vehicle running track,
and map data from the map disc.
Map MatchingThe map data from the map disc is compared to the vehicle position
and running track data. Then, the vehicle position is matched with the
nearest road.
GPS CorrectionThe vehicle position is matched to the position measured by GPS.
Then, the measurement position data from the GPS unit is compared
with the vehicle position and running track data. If the position is
widely different, the GPS measurement position is used.
Distance CorrectionThe running distance signal from the vehicle speed sensor includes
the error caused by tire wear and slippage between the tires and road
surface. Distance correction is performed to account for this. The
radio and navigation assembly automatically offsets the running
distance signal to make up for the difference between it and the
distance data of the map. The offset is automatically updated.

HINT:
The combination of autonomous and GPS
navigation makes it possible to display the vehicle
position even when the vehicle is in places where
the GPS radio wave cannot receive a signal. When
only autonomous navigation is used, however, the
mapping accuracy may slightly decline.
(b) Autonomous navigation
This method determines the relative vehicle position
based on the running track determined by the gyro
and vehicle speed sensors located in the radio and
navigation assembly.
(1) Gyro sensor
Calculates the direction by detecting angular
velocity. It is located in the radio and navigation
assembly.
(2) Vehicle speed sensor
Used to calculate the vehicle running distance.

(c) GPS navigation (Satellite navigation)
This method detects the absolute vehicle position
using radio waves from a GPS satellite.
* GPS satellites were launched by the U.S.
Department of Defence for military purposes.
Number of satellites Measurement Description
2 or less Measurement impossibleVehicle position cannot be obtained because
the number of satellites is not enough.
3 2-dimensional measurement is possibleVehicle position is obtained based on the
current longitude and latitude. (This is less
precise than 3-dimensional measurement.)
4 3-dimensional measurement is possibleVehicle position is obtained based on the
current longitude, latitude and altitude.

(d) Map matching
The current driving route is calculated by
autonomous navigation (according to the gyro
sensor and vehicle speed sensor) and GPS
navigation. This information is then compared with
possible road shapes from the map data in the map
disc and the vehicle position is set onto the most
appropriate road.

(e) Touch switch
Touch switches are touch-sensitive (interactive)
switches operated by touching the screen. When a
switch is pressed, the outer glass bends in to
contact the inner glass at the pressed position. By
doing this, the voltage ratio is measured and the
pressed position is detected.
3. DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) player outline (for
navigation map)
(a) The radio and navigation assembly (built-in
navigation ECU) uses a laser pickup to read the
digital signals recorded on a DVD.
HINT:
• Do not disassemble any part of the radio and
navigation assembly (built-in navigation ECU).
• Do not apply oil to the radio and navigation
assembly (built-in navigation ECU).
• Do not insert anything but a DVD into the radio
and navigation assembly (built-in navigation
ECU).

CAUTION:
Do not look directly at the laser pickup because
the radio and navigation assembly (built-in
navigation ECU) uses an invisible laser beam.
Be sure to only operate the navigation system
as instructed.
4. CD (Compact Disc) player outline
(a) A compact disc player uses a laser pickup to read
digital signals recorded on a compact disc (CD). By
converting the digital signals to analog, it can play
music and other things.
NOTICE:
• Do not disassemble any part of the CD player.
• Do not apply oil to the CD player.
• Do not insert anything but a CD into the CD
player.
CAUTION:
Do not look directly at the laser pickup because
the CD player uses an invisible laser beam. Be
sure to only operate the player as instructed.
(b) Usable discs
(1) This player can only play audio CDs, CD-Rs
(CD-Recordable), and CD-RWs (CD-
ReWritable) that have any of the following
marks:
(c) Precautions for use of discs
NOTICE:
• Copy-protected CDs cannot be played.
• CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not be played
depending on the recording conditions or
characteristics of the discs, or due to
damage, dirt, or deterioration caused by
leaving the discs in the cabin for a long time.
• Unfinalized CD-Rs and CD-RWs cannot be
played.
• Dualdiscs that mate DVD recorded material
on one side with CD digital audio material on
the other cannot be played.
• Keep the discs away from dirt. Be careful not
to damage the discs or leave your
fingerprints on them.
• Hold discs by the outer edge and center hole
with the label side up.

• Leaving the disc exposed halfway out of the
slot for a long time after pressing the disc
eject button may cause deformation of the
disc, making the disc unusable.
• If discs have adhesive tape, stickers, CDR
labels, or any traces of such labels attached,
the discs may not be ejected or player
malfunctions may result.
• Keep the discs away from direct sunlight.
(Exposure to direct sunlight may cause
deformation of the disc, making the disc
unusable.)
• Do not use odd-shaped CDs because these
may cause player malfunctions.
• Do not use discs whose recording portion is
transparent or translucent because they may
not be inserted, ejected, or played normally.
HINT:
• When it is cold or it is raining, if the windows mist
up, mist and also dew may form in the player. In
such a case, the CD may skip or the CD may
stop in the middle of play. Ventilate or dehumidify
the cabin for a while before using the player.
• The CD may skip if the player experiences strong
vibrations when the vehicle is driven on rough
road or similar uneven surface(s).
(d) Cleaning
NOTICE:
Do not use a lens cleaner because it may cause
a malfunction in the pickup portion of the player.
(1) If dirt is on the disc surface, wipe it clean with a
soft dry cloth such as an eyeglass cleaner for
plastic lenses from the inside to the outside in a
radial direction.
NOTICE:
• Pressing on the disc by hand or rubbing
the disc with a hard cloth may scratch the
disc surface.
• Use of solvent such as a record spray,
antistatic agent, alcohol, benzine, and
thinner, or a chemical cloth may cause
damage to the disc, making the disc
unusable.
