General Information
(10) The vehicle's mark could deviate from its actual position after
the tires have been replaced.
(11) While driving on a public road, if an expressway that is under
construction travels over the public road, the position mark of
the vehicle may be indicated on a different road.
(12) If other electronic devices are installed on the instrument panel,
these devices may adversely affect the GPS signal communica-
tion and the position of the vehicle may not be indicated cor-
rectly.
■How the vehicle position is detected
Detecting the vehicle's position through the GPS
GPS stands for "Global Positioning System", which is a system used for
detecting an object's position through the use of satellites of the U.S.
Department of Defense.
Radiowave signals from three or more satellites are received by the
navigation system, which utilizes the principle of triangulation to
detect the position at which the radiowave signals are received.
When the navigation unit is receiving the GPS radiowave signals, a
"GPS" mark will appear on the map screen.
Detecting the vehicle's position through self-contained naviga-
tion
Self-contained navigation is a system that detects the vehicle's posi-
tion by calculating the vehicle's driven distance and turning angle
though the use of various types of sensors that are mounted on the
vehicle.Through the use of self-contained navigation, the vehicle's position
can be detected even in an area where the GPS radiowave signals
cannot be received.
Making corrections to the detection of the vehicle's position
through map matching
•In map matching, the position information resulting from the
detection of the vehicle's position and the locus of the travel of
the vehicle up to the present are constantly compared to the
shape of the roads on the map in order to correct the vehicle's
position mark to the most appropriate road.
•If the vehicle is driven on a road whose actual shape differs from
its map data, the vehicle's position mark on the map could devi-
ate from its actual position.
Occasionally, the correction of the vehicle's position mark to the
actual road on the map can be observed, particularly after the
vehicle has turned at an intersection or has exited from a parking
area.
■Accuracy of the route guidance
The conditions listed below do not indicate a malfunction.
(1) The guidance might prompt the driver to drive straight even
though the vehicle is being driven on a straight road.
(2) The directional guidance could display multiple place names.
(3) If the vehicle makes a turn at an intersection before the guided
route, the wrong type of voice guidance could be outputted.
(4) The guidance might not be outputted while the vehicle is mak-
ing a turn at an intersection.
(5) The system might not be able to search for the proper route.

General Information
When a Problem Occurs
Confirm whether the problem is due to a minor operational error or a malfunction in the system by referring to the table below
before you contact your SUBARU dealer for any repair service.
The map does not scroll even when the vehicle is moving.
The screen shown might not be the current map screen.See Page 26 of this manual for instructions on displaying the current map
screen.
The vehicle marker does not appear.
The screen shown might not be the current map screen.See Page 26 of this manual for instructions on displaying the current map
screen.
The GPS marker is not displayed.
The GPS antenna or your vehicle might be in a position where GPS signals
cannot be received.Try moving the GPS antenna or your vehicle to a position where there are no
obstacles around.
There is no voice guidance.
•Route guidance might be suspended.
•The guidance volume might be too low.•See "Voice Guidance Volume" on Page 25.
Small spots or bright flashes appear on the screen display.
This is probably due to the natural characteristics of the liquid crystal
display (LCD).There is nothing wrong with the display and no need for concern.
The DVD-ROM disc cannot be ejected.
The disc might be incompatible or might have been inserted incorrectly.

Voice activation system
The voice recognition function allows you to operate the navigation
system, audio system and hands-free phone system using your voice
instead of display screen handling. This section includes instructions
about how to perform the voice commands. The commands that can
be recognized by this system are restricted. (See Page 222.) For each
function, refer to the corresponding items.
■Correct voice recognition
The interior circumstances of the vehicle will adversely affect the cor-
rect recognition of the voice. Note the following items in order for the
system to correctly recognize the voice.
•Speak clearly into the microphone. Speaking faster or slower and
pausing between words will cause incorrect recognition.
•Close the windows to eliminate outside noise. Traffic noises, driv-
ing sounds and wind noises may affect correct recognition of the
voice.
•Speak the voice commands correctly. The commands that can be
recognized by this system are restricted. Any terms other than
the recognized terms for the system or dull sounds that are incor-
rectly spoken will not be recognized by the system. If the name
of a facility is pronounced different from the recognized terms for
the system, the command will not be recognized by the system.
•The microphone is located at the best distance and in the best
direction for each model to gain the maximum voice recognition
performance. Speak commands in a correct driving posture.
•Do not speak commands during navigation voice guidance. This
causes sounds to overlap and results in incorrect voice recogni-
tion.
Basic operations of voice recognition
1Press the button located on the steering switch.
The voice recognition mode is activated, and the icon of voice
recognition will be displayed on the upper left side of the screen.
2While the icon is displayed, speak a voice command.
