VEHICLE ICON
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ be-
tween 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 ignition 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 9-59)
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.

screen even after turning on the headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights were
