System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146227
NOTE:
Refer to NAVI System Owner's Manual for system operation.
The navigation system periodically calculates the vehicl e'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), and the 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 data, which is stored in the har d disk drive (HDD)(map-matching), and indicated on the
screen with a current-location mark.
By comparing the vehicle position detection results found by the
GPS and by map-matching, more accurate vehicle position data can
be used.
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 input signal. Therefore, the calculation may
become incorrect as the tires wear down. To prevent this, an automatic distance fine adjustment 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). As the gyroscope and GP S antenna have both merit and demerit, input signals
from them are prioritized in each situation. However, this order of priority may change in accordance with more
detailed travel conditions so that the travel direction is detected more accurately.

STEERING ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment of the steering angle output value detected by the gyro-
scope.
SPEED CALIBRATION
During normal driving, distance error caused by tire wear and tire
pressure change is automatically adj
usted for by the automatic dis-
tance correction function. This function, on the other hand, is for
immediate adjustment, in cases such as driving with tire chain fitted
on tires.

Place In a parking lot
When driving in a parking lot, or other loca-
tion where there are no roads on the map,
matching may place the vehicle mark on a
nearby road. When the vehicle returns to
the road, the vehicle mark may have devi-
ated from the correct location.
When driving in circle or turning the steer-
ing wheel repeatedly, direction errors accu-
mulate, and the vehicle mark may deviate
from the correct location.
If after travelling about 10 km (6
miles) the correct location has
not been restored, perform lo-
cation correction and, if neces-
sary, direction correction.
Turntable
When the ignition switch is OFF, the navi-
gation system cannot get the signal from
the gyroscope (angular speed sensor).
Therefore, the displayed direction may be
wrong and the correct road may not be eas-
ily returned to after rotating the vehicle on a
turntable with the ignition OFF.
Slippery roads On snow, wet roads, gravel, or other roads
where tires may slip easily, accumulated
mileage errors may cause the vehicle mark
to deviate from the correct road.
Slopes When parking in sloped garages, when
travelling on banked roads, or in other cas-
es where the vehicle turns when tilted, an
error in the turning angle will occur, and the
vehicle mark may deviate from the road.
Map data Road not displayed on the map screen
When driving on new roads or other roads
not displayed on the map screen, map
matching does not function correctly and
matches the location to a nearby road.
When the vehicle returns to a road which is
on the map, the vehicle mark may deviate
from the correct road.
Different road pattern
(Changed due to repair) If the road pattern stored in the map data
and the actual road pattern are different,
map matching does not function correctly
and matches the location to a nearby road.
The vehicle mark may deviate from the cor-
rect road.
Vehicle Use of tire chains When tire chains are used, the mileage is
not correctly detected, and the vehicle mark
may deviate from the correct road.Drive the vehicle for a while. If
the distance still deviates, ad-
just it by using the distance ad-
justment function. (If the tire
chain is removed, recover the
original value.)

WARNING:
Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne
particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
• While removing cylinder bod y, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
• It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
• Do not damage piston boot.
• If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
• Always replace shim and shim cover as a set when replacing brake pads.
• Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
• Burnish the brake pads and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces, after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a so ft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
REMOVAL
1. Remove front wheel and tires. Refer to WT-49, "Rotation".
2. Partially drain some brake fluid from the reservoir.
3. Remove the sliding pin bolts.

4. Hang cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, pad retainers,shims, and shim cover from torque member.
CAUTION:
When removing the pad retainer from the torque member,
lift it in the direction indi cated by the arrow as shown so
that it does not deform.
INSTALLATION
1. Push pistons in using suitable tool.
CAUTION:
By pushing in pistons, brake fluid returns to m aster cylinder reservoir tank. Watch the brake fluid
level in the reservoir tank.
NOTE:
Using a suitable tool, makes it easier to push in the pistons.
2. Apply Molykote M-77 grease or equivalent to between shim cover and shim. Install outer shim, outer shim cover to inner pad, and inner multi-layered shim to outer pad.
3. Apply Molykote M-77 grease or equivalent to between pad retainer and pad. Install pad retainers and pads to torque member.
4. Apply Molykote M-77 grease or equivalent to the piston face. Install pad return lever securely to pad wear sensor as shown.
CAUTION:
• Securely assemble pad retainers so that they are not
being lifted up from torque member.
• Both inner and outer pads have a pad return system on
the pad retainer. Install pad return lever securely to pad
wear sensor.
5. Install pads to cylinder body.
6. Install cylinder body to torque member. CAUTION:
In the case of replacing a pad with new one, ch eck the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank
because brake fluid returns to reservoir tank when pressing piston in.
NOTE:
Use a suitable tool to easily press piston.
7. Apply rubber grease and install sliding pin bolts, and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to BR-31,
"Exploded View of Brake Caliper".
8. Check front disc brake for drag.
9. Install front wheel and tires. Refer to WT-49, "
Rotation".
Brake Burnishing ProcedureINFOID:0000000005147914
Burnish contact surfaces between disc rotors and pads according to following procedure after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
• Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate easily until pad and disc rotor are
securely seated.
• Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicle within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
3. Drive without depressing brake for a few minutes to cool the brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely seated.

WARNING:
Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne
particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
• While removing cylinder body, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
• It is not necessary to disconnect brake hose connection except for disassembly or replacement of

• Do not damage piston boot.
• If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
• Always replace shim and shim cover as a set when replacing brake pads.
• Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
• Burnish the brake pads and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces, after refinishing or replacing
rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
REMOVAL
1. Remove rear wheel and tires using power tools.
2. Partially drain some brake fluid from the reservoir.
3. Remove the sliding sleeves and sliding pin bolts from the cylinder body.
4. Support the cylinder body with wire, remove pads, shims, cover and retainers.
INSTALLATION
1. Push piston in using suitable tool.
CAUTION:
By pushing in piston, brake fluid returns to mast er cylinder reservoir tank. Watch the brake fluid
level in the reservoir tank.
NOTE:
Using a suitable tool, makes it easier to push in the piston.
