■POSITION/DIRECTION CALIBRA-
TION
1Touch “Position / Direction” .
2Touch one of the 8 directional screen
buttons to move the cursor to the
desired point on the map.
3Touch “OK”.
4Touch either the or to adjust
the direction of t he current position
mark.
5Touch “OK”.
The map will be displayed.
■TIRE CHANGE CALIBRATION
1To perform the distance calibration
procedure, touch “Tire Change”.
The message appears and the quick dis-
tance calibration is automatically started.
A few seconds later, a map will be dis-
played.
1Press the “SETUP” button.
2Touch “Navigation” on the “Setup”
screen.
3Touch “Detailed Navi. Settings” on
the “Navigation Settings” screen.
When driving, the current position
mark will be automatically corrected by
GPS signals. If GPS reception is poor
due to location, the current position
mark can be adjusted manually.
The tire change calibration function will
be used when replacing the tires. This
function will adjust miscalculation
caused by the circumference differ-
ence between the old and new tires.
INFORMATION
● If this procedure is not performed when
the tires are replaced, the current posi-
tion mark may be incorrectly displayed.
POP-UP INFORMATION
When “Pop-up information” is turned
on, pop-up information will be dis-
played.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM
5. GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
1. LIMITATIONS OF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense provides an accurate
current position, normally using 4 or more
satellites, and in some case 3 satellites.
The GPS system has a certain level of in-
accuracy. While the navigation system will
compensate for this most of the time, oc-
casional positioning errors of up to 300
feet (100 m) can and should be expected.
Generally, position errors will be corrected
within a few seconds.
When the vehicle is receiving signals from
satellites, the “GPS” mark appears at the
top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically ob-
structed, leading to in accurate vehicle po-
sition on the map screen. Tunnels, tall
buildings, trucks, or even the placement of
objects on the instrument panel may ob-
struct the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not send signals
due to repairs or improvements being
made to them.
Even when the naviga tion system is re-
ceiving clear GPS signals, the vehicle po-
sition may not be shown accurately or
inappropriate route guidance may occur in
some cases.
 Accurate current position may not be
shown in the following cases:
• When driving on a small angled Y-
shaped road.
• When driving on a winding road.
• When driving on a slippery road such as in sand, gravel, snow, etc.
• When driving on a long straight road.
• When freeway and surface streets run in parallel.
• After moving by ferry or vehicle carrier.
• When a long route is searched during high speed driving.
• When driving without setting the current
position calibration correctly.
• After repeating a change of direction by going forward and backward, or turning
on a turntable in a parking lot.
• When leaving a covered parking lot or parking garage.
• When a roof carrier is installed.
• When driving with tire chains installed.
• When the tires are worn.
• After replacing a tire or tires.
• When using tires that are smaller or larger than the factory specifications.
• When the tire pressure in any of the 4 tires is not correct.
This navigation system calculates the
current position using satellite signals,
various vehicle signals, map data, etc.
However, an accurate position may not
be shown depending on satellite condi-
tions, road configuration, vehicle con-
dition or other circumstances.NOTICE
● The installation of window tinting may
obstruct the GPS signals. Most window
tinting contains some metallic content
that will interfere with GPS signal recep-
tion of the antenna in the instrument
panel. We advise against the use of win-
dow tinting on vehicles equipped with
navigation systems.
If the vehicle cannot receive GPS sig-
nals, the current position can be
adjusted manually. For information on
setting the current position calibration,
see page 109.

5. GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
Inappropriate route guidance may occur in
the following cases:
• When turning at an intersection off the
designated route guidance.
• If you set more than one destination but
skip any of them, auto reroute will dis-
play a route returning to the destination
on the previous route.
• When turning at an intersection for which there is no route guidance.
• When passing through an intersection
for which there is no route guidance.
• During auto reroute, the route guidance may not be available for the next turn to
the right or left.
• During high speed driving, it may take a long time for auto reroute to operate. In
auto reroute, a detour route may be
shown.
• After auto reroute, the route may not be
changed.
• If an unnecessary U-turn is shown or announced.
• If a location has multiple names and the system announces one or more of them.
• When a route cannot be searched.
• If the route to your destination includes gravel, unpaved roads or alleys, the
route guidance may not be shown.
• Your destination point might be shown on the opposite side of the street.
• When a portion of the route has regula-
tions prohibiting the entry of the vehicle
that vary by time or season or other rea-
sons.
• The road and map data stored in the navigation system may not be complete
or may not be the latest version. After replacing a tire, implement the
operation described in the “TIRE
CHANGE CALIBRATION”. (See page
110.)
INFORMATION
●This navigation system uses tire turning
data and is designed to work with fac-
tory-specified tires for the vehicle.
Installing tires that are larger or smaller
than the originally equipped diameter
may cause inaccurate display of the cur-
rent position. The tire pressure also
affects the diameter of the tires, so make
sure that the tire pressure of all 4 tires is
correct.

PERIPHERAL MONITORING SYSTEM
1Stop the vehicle in the position as de-
scribed below, and straighten the
steering wheel.
A position in which you are parallel with
the road (or the side of the road), and in
which there is approximately 3 ft. (1 m) of
space between your vehicle and the
parked vehicle
 A position in which you are half a vehicle’s
length ahead of the parked vehicle
 Roughly half a vehicle’s length

2Shift the shift lever to the “R” position.
3Make sure the monitor displays the
part behind the rear tires of the parked
vehicle, and touch .
If the area is not displayed, move the vehi-
cle to forward.
4With the steering wheel straight, back
up slowly to a position at which the
black and yellow vertical pole just over-
laps the rear end of the parked vehicle.
Then stop the vehicle.
 Black and yellow vertical pole

PARKING
The following example describes the
procedure for pulling into a parking
space on the right. For pulling into a
parking space on the left, substitute left
for right and vice versa in all steps.
