2010 SUBARU LEGACY ignition

18 NavigationBefore Use■Points to note before useStarting the engine before using the systemThe navigation system can be used with the ignition key in either th e
ON position or the ACC position. To preserve the battery, however, it
should be used with the engine running whenever possible. Using
the system for a long time with the engine off can cause the battery
to run down.
Delay before display of current positionThe system will not immediately display a correct indication of your
vehicle's current position after being switched on for the first time or
after the battery has been disconnected for a long time. It will displa y
a correct current position indication as soon as it receives Global Po si-
tioning System (GPS) signals.
Program reloading after battery disconnectionThe navigation program will be erased from the system's memory if
the battery is disconnected. If th is happens, load the provided DVD-
ROM disc in the system's main unit and turn the ignition switch to
the ON or ACC position. The system will automatically reload the pro-
gram and start operating normally again.
Incorrect operation on rough roadsThe system may operate incorrectly or be unable to read the data on
the DVD-ROM disc when subjected to severe vibration caused by
driving on rough roads.
Handling the GPS antennaDo not paint the antenna. Doing so could impair or prevent signal
reception. Disabled switches
Some switches are disabled during operation of the system. These
switches are displayed in fainter colors and no messages are dis-
played for them.
Risk of damage to the main unitBe mindful of the occupant compartment temperature. Using the
system when the occupant compar tment temperature is extremely
high or low can damage it or cause it to malfunction. Also, note that
the system's main unit can be da maged by strong vibration and by
any metallic object or water that gets inside.
CondensationCondensation can form on the lens inside the main unit when there
is a rapid change in occupant compartment temperature (for exam-
ple, when the heater is switched on in cold weather). Such condensa-
tion can cause the system to operate abnormally. If you wait an hour
or so for the condensation to di sappear, the system should start
working normally again. If normal op eration is still not restored after
several hours, we recommend that you contact the nearest SUBARU
dealer.
Replacing the DVD-ROM discIf you need to replace the DVD-ROM disc, make sure the replacement
disc is compatible with your system's main unit. Inserting an incom-
patible disc could damage the unit.

22 NavigationMap Disc LoadingWhen changing the map disc with a disc that is appropriate to the cur-
rent location, or when updating the map disc while in the version
upgrade of a map disc, it is necessa ry to change it with another map
disc by following the procedure described below.NOTE • When changing a map disc with another one, be sure to st op the vehicle in a
safe location.
• For details of the map discs, see "Map Discs". (See Page 49.)1
With the ignition switch on, open the cover of the map
disc slot.
NOTE
Support the upper side of the cover with your thumb, pull th e notch located on
the center of the under side of the cover, and then remove the c over.
2
Press the map disc eject button.
3
When the map disc is ejected, take it out.
4
Insert a map disc that contains the area showing the cur-
rent position.The monitor automatically returns to the normal condition to start
the loading of the disc.
CAUTION
• You must insert the map disc into the second slot from
the top.
• When inserting a map disc, do not insert 2 or more map
discs together. This may ca use the mechanism to mal-
function.

Navigation 99
General Information■Accuracy of vehicle positionArea in which GPS signals cannot be receivedBecause the radiowave signals from the GPS satellites travel primarily
by line of sight, the navigation system might not be able to receiv e
the signals in the areas described below.(If the GPS mark does not
appear on the map screen, it mean s that the GPS radiowave signals
are not being properly received.)
(1) Inside a tunnel
(2) Inside a building
(3) Under a three-dimensional road system such as for high spee d
roads
(4) On boulevards lined with trees
(5) Between buildings
(6) Under a cliff or in a cave • If the GPS antenna or its surroundings are blocked by an obstac le
(including cargo), it might not be possible for the system to
receive the GPS radiowave signals.
• If multiple paths are created due to the reflection from buildings,
a large measurement error could occur, causing the vehicle's
mark to deviate from its actual position.
Deviation of the vehicle's position markThe vehicle's position mark could deviate from its actual position
when the vehicle is being driven under the conditions listed below or
due to conditions of the GPS satellites.
If the vehicle travels on a road whose actual shape differs from that in
the map data, the vehicle's mark co uld deviate from the actual posi- tion. The correct position will even
tually appear on the screen
through the correction function. If the screen does not show the cor-
rect position for an excessively long time, correct the current posi tion
or make an automatic correction.
(1) The vehicle's mark could appear on a parallel road.
(2) When the road splits into a narrow Y, the vehicle's mark could
appear on the other fork of the Y.
(3) When the vehicle makes a right or left turn, the vehicle' s mark
could appear on one street ahead or behind.
(4) If the vehicle is transported by means other than the vehi cle's
own power, such as on a ferryboat, the vehicle's mark will
remain in the position it was before the transport until the sys-
tem can calculate the position through the GPS.
(5) When the vehicle is driven on a steep incline, the vehicle' s mark
could deviate from its actual position.
(6) If there are continuous gradual curves in the same directi on, the
vehicle's mark could deviate from its actual position.
(7) If the vehicle is driven in a zigzag pattern, such as through fr e-
quent lane changes, the vehicle' s mark could deviate from its
actual position.
(8) If the vehicle is placed on a tu rntable, such as in a parking area,
and turned with the ignition OFF, the vehicle's mark could devi-
ate from its actual orientation. The vehicle's mark could also
deviate even after the vehicle has exited the parking area.
(9) The vehicle's mark could deviate from its actual position if the
vehicle is driven using tire chains or snow tires on a snow-cov-
ered road or on a mountainous road.
