SYSTEM
 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.
