The current position is calculated by detecting the travel distance
from the previous calculation point, and its direction change.
 Travel distance The travel distance is generat ed from the vehicle speed sensor
input signal. The automatic distance correction function is adopted
for preventing a miss-detection of the travel distance because of
tire wear etc.
 Travel direction The gyroscope (angular veloci ty sensor) and GPS antenna (GPS
information) generate the change of t he travel direction. Both have
advantages and disadvantages as per the following descriptions.
Input signals are prioritized in each situation. However, this order of priority may change in accordance with
more detailed travel conditions so that the tr avel direction is detected more accurately.
Map-matching
Map-matching repositions the vehicle on the road map when a new
location is judged to be more accurate. This is done by comparing
the current vehicle position (calculated by the normal position detec-
tion method) from the map data stored in the HDD (Hard Disk Drive).
There is a possibility that the vehicle position may not be corrected in the following case, and when vehicle is
driven over a certain distance or time in which GPS in formation is hard to receive. Correct manually the cur-
rent location mark on the screen.
 In map-matching, several alternative routes are prepared and pri- oritized in addition to the road judged as currently driving on.
Therefore, due to errors in the distance and/or direction, an incor-
rect road may be prioritized, and the current location mark may be
repositioned to the incorrect road.
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, etc.

Type Advantage Disadvantage
Gyroscope (angular velocity
sensor) The turning angle is precisely detected.
Errors are accumulated when driving a long dis-
tance without stopping.
GPS antenna (GPS informa-
tion) The travel direction (North/South/East/West) is
detected. The travel direction is not precisely detected when
driving slowly.

 Map-matching does not function correctly when road on which thevehicle is driving is new, etc. and not recorded in the map data.
Also, map-matching does not function correctly when road pattern
stored in the map data and the actual road pattern are different due
to repair, etc.
Therefore, the map-matching func tion judges other road as a cur-
rently driving road if the road is not in the map, and displays the
current location mark on it. Later, the current location mark may be
repositioned to the road if t he correct road is detected.
 Effective range for comparing the vehicle position and travel direc- tion calculated by the distance and direction with the road data is
limited. Therefore, correction by map-matching is not possible
when there is an excessive gap between current vehicle position and the position on the map.
GPS (Global Positioning System)
GPS (Global Positioning System) is developed for and is controlled
by the US Department of Defens e. The system utilizes GPS satel-
lites (NAVSTAR), transmitting out radio waves while flying on an orbit
around the earth at an altitude of approximately 21,000 km (13,049
mile).
The receiver calculates the travel position in three dimensions (lati-
tude/longitude/altitude) according to the time lag of the radio waves
that four or more GPS satellites transmit (three-dimensional position-
ing). The GPS receiver calculates the travel position in two dimen-
sions (latitude/longitude) with the previous altitude data if the GPS
receiver receives only three radio waves (two-dimensional position-
ing). GPS position correction is not performed while stopping the
vehicle.
Accuracy of the GPS will deteriorate under the following conditions:
 In two-dimensional positioning, GPS accuracy will det eriorate when altitude of the vehicle position changes.
 The position of GPS satellite affects GPS detection pr ecision. The position detection may not be precisely
performed.
 The position detection is not performed if GPS receiver does not receive radio waves from GPS satellites.
(Inside a tunnel, parking in a building, under an elevat ed highway etc.) GPS receiver may not receive radio
waves from GPS satellites if any object is placed on the GPS antenna.
NOTE:
 The detection result has an error of approximately 10 m (32.81 ft) even with a high-precision three dimen- sional positioning.
 There may be cases when the accuracy is lowered and radio waves are stopped intentionally because the GPS satellite signal is controlled by the US trace control center.
AUDIO FUNCTION
The audio system is equipped with the following functions. Each function is operated with multifunction switch,
preset switch, touch panel, steering switch or audio rec ognition. Operation status of audio is indicated at dis-
play.
Operating Signal
Audio system operation can be performed with multifuncti on switch, preset switch, steering switch, touch
panel function or voice recognition function.
