GENERAL INFORMATION FOR NAVIGA-
TION SYSYTEM
CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATION
Display of current vehicle location
This navigation system combines the data
obtained from the vehicle (by gyro sensor)
and from GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites to calculate the current location
of the vehicle. This position is then
displayed throughout route guidance to a
destination.
What is GPS (Global Positioning
System)?
GPS is a position detecting system that
uses satellites deployed by the U.S.
government. This navigation system re-
ceives radio signals from three or more
different satellites that orbit 13,049 miles
(21,000 km) above the earth in space, and
detect the position of the vehicle by
utilizing the principle of triangulation.
Positioning adjustment:
When the system judges that the vehicle
position is not accurate based on vehicle
speed and gyro sensor data calculations,the system will automatically adjust the
position of the vehicle icon using GPS
signals.
Receiving signals from GPS satellites:
The reception of GPS signals can be weak,
depending on the environment. Vehicles in
the following areas/environments may not
receive GPS signals.
*Inside tunnels or parking garages
*In areas with numerous tall buildings
*Under multi-layered highways

A small black spot or a small bright spot appears on
the screen. This is a typical phenomenon for liquid crystal
displays.This is not a malfunction.
A dot or stripe pattern appears on the screen. Electromagnetic waves that are generated from neon billboards, high voltage electric power cables,
ham radios or other radio devices equipped to other
vehicles may adversely affect the screen.This is not a malfunction.
Image lag appears on the screen. This is a typical phenomenon for liquid crystal
displays. This is not a malfunction.
Image motion displayed on the screen is slow. The cabin temperature is less than 508F(0 8C). Wait until the cabin temperature rises to within 508F
(08C) and 1228F (508C).
When looking at the screen from an angle, the

AUDIO SYSTEM
HD RADIO TECHNOLOGY
Sound
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Delay in digital audio on HD Radio broadcasts. The radio acquires an analog station first and blends to an digital signal.This is not a malfunction.
Audio skip, stutter or echo. The radio station has not properly aligned the
digital and analog audio. Verify correct operation on another station. Report
any station with poor performance.
Volume changing up/down. The radio station has not properly aligned digital
and analog audio level. Verify correct operation on another station and
check www.hdradio.com for stations in the area.
Report any station with poor performance.
Sound fading in and out. The transition between analog and digital is taking
place (blending). Verify transition performance on several stations in
the area. Report any stations with poor alignment.
Excessive blending (Transition between analog and
digital). The receiver is located near the edge of the digital
coverage area.Refer to hdradio.com to verify radio stations in your
coverage area.
Digital audio not better than analog audio. Audio processing on the digital audio at a station can potentially decrease the digital audio sound
quality.Verify correct operation on another station. Report
any station with poor performance.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Each volume level (ring tone, incoming voice or
outgoing voice) is different. Each volume level is not adjusted properly. Adjust each volume level properly.
The antenna display is different between the
navigation screen and a cellular phone screen.
Making or receiving a call is unavailable even
though the antenna display shows that it is
possible to do so. The antenna display varies depending on the model
of cellular phone.
This does not indicate a malfunction. The antenna display
and remaining battery level shown on the navigation
screen may be different from those shown on the cellular
phone screen. Use them as a reference.
A voice cannot be heard clearly when using a
cellular phone behind tall buildings. Some structures such as tall buildings, etc. may
cause irregular reflection of radio waves or com-
pletely shut out radio waves that are used for
cellular phones. This is not a malfunction.
Noise is heard when using a cellular phone
under/near areas of elevated railroads, high
voltage electric power cables, traffic signals,
neon billboards, etc. Electromagnetic waves that are generated from
radio devices may adversely affect the cellular
phone.
This is not a malfunction.
Noise is heard in the sound from the audio
system while using a cellular phone. Radio waves that are generated from a cellular
phone may adversely affect the sound from the
audio system. This is not a malfunction.
Sound skip. The cellular phone may have turned on wireless LAN
(Wi-Fi). Turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi).
