AUDIO SYSTEM
The audio system consists of the following components
• AV control unit
• Display unit
• BOSE speaker amp.
• Window antenna
• Steering wheel audio control switches
• A/C and AV switch assembly
• Rear audio remote control unit
• Front door speakers
• Front tweeters
• Center speaker
• Rear door speakers
• Rear door tweeters
• Back door speakers
• Subwoofer
When the audio system is on, radio signals are receiv
ed by the window antenna. The AV control unit then
sends audio signals to the BOSE speaker amp. The BO SE speaker amp. amplifies the audio signals before
sending them to the front door speakers, front tweeters, center speaker, rear door speakers, rear door tweet-
ers, back door speakers and the subwoofer.
Refer to Owner's Manual for audio system operating instructions.
SATELLITE RADIO SYSTEM
The satellite radio system consists of the following components
• Satellite antenna
• AV control unit
When the satellite radio system is on, radio signals are supplied to the AV contro l unit from the satellite
antenna. The AV control unit then sends audio signals to the BOSE speaker amp.
Refer to Owner's Manual for satellite radio system operating instructions.
SPEED SENSITIVE VOLUME SYSTEM
Volume level of this system goes up and down automatically in proportion to the vehicle speed. The control
level can be selected by the customer. Refer to Owner's Manual for operating instructions.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM
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 data stored on the
HDD.
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 on the HDD.
• In map-matching, alternative rout
es to reach the destination will be
shown and prioritized, after the road on which the vehicle is cur-
rently 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 on the HDD, or when
the road pattern stored in the m ap data and the actual road pattern
are different due to repair.
When driving on a road not present in the map, the map-matching
function may find another road and position the current-location
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 direc-
tion calculated by the distance and direction with the road data
read from the HDD is limited. Therefore, when there is an exces-
sive 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 wa ves from four or more GPS satel-
lites (two-dimensional positioning).
Type Advantage Disadvantage
Gyroscope (angular velocity sensor) • Can detect the vehicle's turning angle quite
accurately. • Direction errors may accumulate when the ve-
hicle is driven for long distances without stop-
ping.
GPS antenna (GPS information) • Can detect the vehicle's travel direction
(North/South/East/West). • Correct direction cannot be detected when the
vehicle speed is low.

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.
• Position detection is not possible when the 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.
• Position correction by GPS is not available while the vehicle is stopped.
