SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ between
Plan View and Birdview
TM. This is because the quantity of the displayed information is reduced
so that the screen does not become too cluttered. There is also a
chance that names of the roads or locations may be displayed
multiple times, and the names appearing on the screen may be
different because of a processing procedure. This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle icon is not displayed in the correct
position. The vehicle was transported after the power switch was pushed off,
for example, by a ferry or car transporter. Drive the vehicle for a period of time on a road where
GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon may be incorrect
depending on the driving environments and the levels of positioning
accuracy of the navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for a
period of time to automatically correct the position
and direction of the vehicle icon.
“Current vehicle location” (page 10-28)
When the vehicle is traveling on a new road,
the vehicle icon is located on another road
nearby. Because the new road is not stored in the map data, the system
automatically places the vehicle icon on the nearest road available.
Updated road information will be included in the next
version of the map data.
The screen does not switch to the night screen
even after turning on the headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights were turned
on. Set the screen to the night screen mode using the
button when turning on the headlights.“Display adjustment” (page 1-14)

The GPS indicator on the screen remains gray. GPS signals cannot be received under certain conditions, such as in a parking garage, on a road with many tall buildings, etc. Drive on an open, straight road for a period of time.
GPS signals cannot be received because objects are placed on the
instrument panel. Remove the objects from the instrument panel.
A sufficient number of GPS satellites is not available. Wait for the satellites to move to locations available for the navigation system.

INFO:
The GPS antenna is located on the instrument
panel inside the vehicle. Do not place any
objects, especially cellular phones or transcei-
vers, on the instrument panel. Because the
strength of the GPS signal is approximately one
billionth of that of TV waves, phones and
transceivers will affect or may totally disrupt
the signal.
Display of GPS information:
GPS information can be displayed.

Incorrect display of vehicle position
The following cases may affect the display
accuracy of the vehicle’s position or traveling
direction. The accuracy will return to normal if
the driving conditions return to normal.
*When there is a similar road nearby.
*When the vehicle is traveling in an area with a
grid pattern road system.
*When the vehicle is passing through a large Y-
shaped intersection/junction.
*When the vehicle is traveling on a continuous,
slowly curving road.
