z Handle discs carefully, especially
when you are inserting them. Hold
them on the edge and do not bend
them. Avoid getting fingerprints on
them, particularly on the shiny side.
z Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes,
or other disc damage could cause
the player to skip or to repeat a sec-
tion of a track. (To see a pin hole,
hold the disc up to the light.)
z Remove discs from the player when
you are not using them. Store them
in their plastic cases away from
moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

To clean a disc: Wipe it with a soft,
lint-free cloth that has been dampened
with water. Wipe in a straight line from
the center to the edge of the disc (not in
a circle). Do not use a conventional
record cleaner or anti-static device.

Files in a USB memory device
If there are many files other than MP3 or
WMA files in the USB memory device, it
may take time to search for an MP3 or
WMA file, adversely affecting the smooth
operation of the device. (It is recom-
mended that files other than .mp3
or .wma are not stored in these memory
devices.)
USB memory devices with external
power sources
Vehicles with smart entry and start sys-
tem —
USB memory devices with external
power sources such as USB audio de-
vices may not be recognized correctly
even if the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch is turned to ACCESSORY or
IGNITION ON mode. In this case, turn
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to
ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode
again, or remove the USB memory de-
vice and then plug it in again.
Vehicles without smart entry and start
system —
USB memory devices with external
power sources such as USB audio de-
vices may not be recognized correctly
even if the engine switch is turned to the
“ACC” or “ON” position. In this case,
turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or
“ON” position again, or remove the USB
memory device and then plug it in again.

TERMS
Packet write—
This is a general term that describes the
process of writing data on-demand to
CD-R, etc., in the same way that data is
written to floppy or hard discs.
ID3 Tag—
This is a method of embedding
track-related information in an MP3 file.
This embedded information can include the
track title, the artist’s name, the album title,
the music genre, the year of production,
comments and other data. The contents
can be freely edited using software with
ID3 tag editing functions. Although the
tags are restricted to the number of char-
acters, the information can be viewed
when the track is played back.
WMA Tag—
WMA files can contain a W MA tag that is
used in the same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA tags carry information such as track
title, artist name.
ISO 9660 format—
This is the international standard for the
formatting of CD-ROM folders and files.
For the ISO 9660 format, there are two
levels of regulations.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (8 character
file names, with a 3 character file extension.
File names must be composed of one-byte
capital letters and numbers. The “_”
symbol may also be included.)
Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 charac-
ters (including the separation mark “.” and
file extension). Each folder must contain
fewer than 8 hierarchies.
m3u—
Playlists created using “WINAMP” software
have a playlist file extension (.m3u). MP3—
MP3 is an audio compression standard
determined by a working group (MPEG) of
the ISO (International Standard Organiza-
tion). MP3 compresses audio data to
about 1/10 the size of that on conventional
discs.
WMA—
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio
compression format developed by Micro-
soft. It compresses files into a size
smaller than that of MP3 files. The de-
coding formats for W MA files are Ver. 7, 8,
and 9.

V573_E
This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However, the accurate po-
sition may not be shown depending
on the satellite condition, road con-
figuration, vehicle condition or other
circumstances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS)
developed and operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense provides an ac-
curate current vehicle position, normally
using 4 or more satellites, and in some
cases 3 satellites. The GPS system
has a certain level of inaccuracy. While
the navigation system will compensate
for this most of the time, occasional posi-
tioning errors of up to 300 feet (100 m)
can and should be expected. Generally,
position errors will be corrected within a
few seconds.

When your vehicle is receiving signals
from the satellites, the “GPS” mark ap-
pears at the top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically ob-
structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle
position on the map display. Tunnels,
tall buildings, trucks, or even the place-
ment of objects on the instrument panel
may obstruct the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not send signals
due to repairs or improvements being
made to them.
Even when the navigation system is re-
ceiving clear GPS signals, the vehicle
position may not be shown accurately or
inappropriate route guidance may occur
in some cases.

NOTICE
The installation of window tinting
may obstruct the GPS signals.
Most window tinting contains some
metallic content that will interfere
with GPS signal reception. We ad-
vise against the use of window tint-
ing on vehicles equipped with navi-
gation systems.


Limitations of the
navi
gation system

APPENDIX
271
V573_E

(a) Accurate current vehicle position
may not be shown in the following
cases:
z When driving on a small angled
Y-shaped road.
z When driving on a winding road.
z When driving on a slippery road
such as in sand, gravel, snow, etc.
z When driving on a long straight road.
z When freeway and surface streets
run in parallel.
z After moving by ferry or vehicle car-
rier.
z When a long route is searched dur-
ing high speed driving.
z When driving without setting the
current position calibration correctly.
z After repeating a change of direction
by going forward and backward, or
turning on a turntable in the parking
lot.
z When leaving a covered parking lot
or parking garage.
z When a roof carrier is installed.
z When driving with tire chains in-
stalled.
z When the tires are worn.
z After replacing a tire or tires.
z When using tires that are smaller or
larger than the factory specifications.
z When the tire pressure in any of the
four tires is not correct.

INFORMATION
If your vehicle cannot receive GPS
signals, you can correct the current
position manually. For information
on setting the current position cali-
bration, see page 117.

(b) Inappropriate route guidance may
occur in the following cases:
z When turning at an intersection off
the designated route guidance.
z If you set more than one destination
but skip any of them, auto reroute
will display a route returning to the
destination on the previous route.
z When turning at an intersection for
which there is no route guidance.
z When passing through an intersec-
tion for which there is no route
guidance.
z During auto reroute, the route guid-
ance may not be available for the
next turn to the right or left.
z It may take a long time to operate
auto reroute during high speed driv-
ing. In auto reroute, a detour route
may be shown.
z After auto reroute, the route may not
be changed.
z An unnecessary U-turn may be
shown or announced.
z A location may have multiple names
and the system will announce one or
more.
z Some routes may not be searched.
z If the route to your destination in-
cludes gravel, unpaved roads or al-
leys, the route guidance may not be
shown.
z Your destination point might be
shown on the opposite side of the
street.
z When a portion of the route has
regulations prohibiting the entry of
the vehicle that vary by time or sea-
son or other reasons.
z The road and map data stored in
your navigation system may not be
complete or may not be the latest
version.
