Before Use
■Points to note before use
Starting the engine before using the system
The navigation system can be used with the ignition key in either the
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 position
The 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 display
a correct current position indication as soon as it receives Global Posi-
tioning System (GPS) signals.
Program reloading after battery disconnection
The navigation program will be erased from the system's memory if
the battery is disconnected. If this 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 roads
The 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 antenna
Do 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 unit
Be mindful of the occupant compartment temperature. Using the
system when the occupant compartment temperature is extremely
high or low can damage it or cause it to malfunction. Also, note that
the system's main unit can be damaged by strong vibration and by
any metallic object or water that gets inside.
Condensation
Condensation 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 disappear, the system should start
working normally again. If normal operation is still not restored after
several hours, we recommend that you contact the nearest SUBARU
dealer.
Replacing the DVD-ROM disc
If 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.

Map Disc Loading
When 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 necessary 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 stop the vehicle in a
safe location.
•For details of the map discs, see "Map Discs". (See Page 49.)
1With the ignition switch on, open the cover of the map
disc slot.
NOTE
Support the upper side of the cover with your thumb, pull the notch located on
the center of the under side of the cover, and then remove the cover.
2Press the map disc eject button.
3When the map disc is ejected, take it out.
4Insert 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 cause the mechanism to mal-
function.

General Information
■Accuracy of vehicle position
Area in which GPS signals cannot be received
Because the radiowave signals from the GPS satellites travel primarily
by line of sight, the navigation system might not be able to receive
the signals in the areas described below.(If the GPS mark does not
appear on the map screen, it means 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 speed
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 obstacle
(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 mark
The 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 could deviate from the actual posi-tion. The correct position will eventually 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 position
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 vehicle'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 direction, the
vehicle's mark could deviate from its actual position.
(7) If the vehicle is driven in a zigzag pattern, such as through fre-
quent lane changes, the vehicle's mark could deviate from its
actual position.
(8) If the vehicle is placed on a turntable, 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.
