3-5.Tips for the navigation system
The Global Positioning System
(GPS) developed and operated
by the U.S. Department of
Defense provides an accurate
current position, normally using
4 or more satellites, and in some
case 3 satellites. The GPS sys-
tem has a certain level of inac-
curacy. While the navigation
system compensates for this
most of the time, occasional
positioning errors of up to 300 ft.
(100 m) can and should be
expected. Generally, position
errors will be corrected within a
few seconds.
When the vehicle is not receiv-
ing signals from satellites, the
unreceived GPS mark appears
on the map screen. When the
vehicle is receiving the signals,
the unreceived GPS mark does not appear on the map screen.
The GPS signal may be physi-
cally obstructed, leading to inac-
curate vehicle position on the
map screen. Tunnels, tall build-
ings, trucks, or even the place-
ment of objects on the
instrument panel may obstruct
the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not
send signals due to repairs or
improvements being made to
them.
Even when the navigation sys-
tem is receiving clear GPS sig-
nals, the vehicle position may
not be shown accurately or inap-
propriate 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.
GPS (Global Position-
ing System)
This navigation system cal-
culates the current position
using satellite signals, vari-
ous vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However, an accu-
rate position may not be
shown depending on satel-
lite conditions, road config-
uration, vehicle condition or
other circumstances.
Limitations of the naviga-
tion system
NOTICE
●The installation of window tint-
ing may obstruct the GPS sig-
nals. Most window tinting
contains some metallic content
that will interf ere with GPS sig-
nal reception of the antenna in
the instrument panel. We advise
against the use of window tint-
ing on vehicles equipped with
navigation systems.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3),
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
and AAC (Advanced Audio
Coding) are audio compres-
sion standards.
This system can play
MP3/WMA/AAC files on USB
memory.
MP4, WMV and AVI files can
use the following resolutions:
128x96, 160x120, 176x144
(QCIF), 320x240 (QVGA),
352x240 (SIF), 352x288
(CIF), 640x480 (VGA),
720x480 (NTSC), 720x576
(PAL)
When naming an
MP3/WMA/AAC file, add an
appropriate file extension
(.mp3/.wma/.m4a).
This system plays back files
with .mp3/.wma/.m4a file
extensions as MP3/WMA/AAC files respec-
tively. To prevent noise and
playback errors, use the
appropriate file extension.
MP3 files are compatible with
the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1,
Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3 formats.
This system cannot display
disc title, track title and artist
name in other formats.
WMA/AAC files can contain a
WMA/AAC tag that is used in
the same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA/AAC tags carry infor-
mation such as track title and
artist name.
The emphasis function is
available only when playing
MP3 files.
This system can play back
AAC files encoded by iTunes.
The sound quality of
MP3/WMA files generally
improves with higher bit rates.
m3u playlists are not compati-
ble with the audio player.
MP3i (MP3 interactive) and
MP3PRO formats are not
compatible with the audio
player.
The player is compatible with
VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
When playing back files
recorded as VBR (Variable Bit
Rate) files, the play time will
not be correctly displayed if

■ID3 tag
This is a method of embed-
ding track-related information
in an MP3 file. This embed-
ded information can include
the track number, track title,
the artist’s name, the album
title, the music genre, the year
of production, comments,
cover art and other data. The
contents can be freely edited
using software with ID3 tag
editing functions. Although
the tags are restricted to a
number of characters, the
information can be viewed
when the track is played back.
■WMA tag
WMA files can contain a
WMA tag that is used in the
same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA tags carry information
such as track title and artist
name.
■MP3
MP3 is an audio compression
standard determined by a
working group (MPEG) of the
ISO (International Standard
Organization). MP3 com-
presses audio data to about
1/10 the size of that on con-
ventional discs.

MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER3) is
a standard audio compression
format. Files can be com-
pressed to approximately 1/10
of their original size by using
MP3 compression.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is
a Microsoft audio compression
format. This format compresses
audio data to a size smaller than
that of the MP3 format.
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding)
is a standardized the audio com-
pression type that is designed to
be the successor of the MP3 for-
mat. AAC generally achieves
good sound quality and high-
compression than MP3 at simi-
lar bit rates.
There is a limit to the MP3,
WMA and AAC file standards
and to the media/formats
recorded by them that can be
used.
