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 (indicator color: gray) .
*Inside tunnels or parking garages
*Areas with numerous tall buildings
*Under multi-layered highways
*Under many large trees
*In a canyon
INFO:
The GPS antenna is located on the instrument
panel inside the vehicle. Do not place any
objects, especially mobile 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.

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 crowded. 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 while 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
while to automatically correct the position and
direction of the vehicle icon.
“Current vehicle location” (page 10-3)
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
when turning on the head-
lights.
