GENERAL INFORMATION FOR
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
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 Sys-
tem)?
GPS is a position detecting system that uses
satellites deployed by the U.S. government. This
navigation system receives 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 auto-
matically 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
6-60

*Areas with numerous tall trees
*In a canyon
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.
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.
