English26Vehicle positioning systemn GPS (Global Positioning System)The positioning system uses communications satellites launched by the US Department of Defense. Signals are received from three or more satellites orbiting at 21 000 km altitude, and the principle of triangulation is used to find the position. By receiving GPS signals, this system can position the vehicle within a margin of error of 30 to 200 m.Time before the current position is foundWhen this system is used for the first time, or if it has not been used for an extended period, it may take as much as 5 minutes to find the current position. In normal conditions, at a location with good reception, positioning takes around 2 minutes.Starting to move the vehicle immediately after turning on the power causes it to take longer to find the position, so the user is advised to remain parked in a location with good reception (with no buildings or trees to block the signals from GPS satellites) until the current position is found.n  Locations where GPS signal reception is difficultReception may not be possible in locations such as the following:l   In tunnelsl   Between tall buildingsl   Under elevated roadsl   Between treesWhat is a navigation system?n  Map matching This function displays the current position of your vehicle on the map. That position is acquired using GPS, gyro sensors, magnetic sensors, etc. n  Electric compassThis unit incorporates a magnetic sensor that uses the slight geomagnetism in the earth to detect the bearing of the unit like a compass. Therefore, the position and bearing of your vehicle can be corrected for display even in locations where the GPS signal does not reach. *  Vehicle positioning is not displayed perfectly in locations where the GPS signal cannot be received. A navigation system marks a route to a destination or destinations on a map, guiding the user along the route to the destination.26
English27Vehicle positioning precisionThe vehicle mark position may not be displayed correctly due to the driving environment and the GPS satellite status.Continue driving without taking further action, and the map matching function and GPS satellite data will be used to automatically correct the vehicle mark position.l   When a highway and an ordinary road are close togetherl   When driving through a fork junction with a narrow angle between roadsl   When driving on roads in a block grid patternl   After moving on a ferry, car transporter, etc.l   When driving on steep mountain roadsl   When driving on winding roadsl   When turning right or left after driving on a straight road for a long periodl   When driving in a weaving motion on a wide roadThe vehicle mark position may not be displayed correctly in the following additional situations:l   Between turning the ignition switch on (after turning the power on) and receiving GPS signals.l   When driving for the first time after installing this system.l   After changing a tire, particularly when driving on an emergency tire.l   When driving on roads that  are slippery due to snow, gravel etc., or when driving with tire chains.l   When the vehicle emerges onto a normal road after driving on a spiral route out of an underground or multi-story parking lot, or when the vehicle was turned on a turntable after stopping the engine (turning the power off).l   GPS satellites are under the control of the US Department of Defense, which may deliberately reduce positioning precision. In such situations, the vehicle mark not reflect the actual position of the vehicle.What is a navigation system?Route searchingThe following situations do not indicate a malfunction:l   Some roads may be impassable, such as roads closed in winter or temporarily closed for pedestrians.l   When searching for a route through narrow streets, the route may include impassable footpaths or stairs.l   Some roads may be impassable, due to the opening of a new road.l   Roads may be displayed which are not actually passable.l   The route may not change even when the search is repeated.l   The route may be congested.l   If there is no road or only very narrow roads to the destination, the route may only be displayed  to a point some distance from the destination.l   Guidance may lead to an ordinary road under an elevated road. The reverse can also happen.l   A route may be displayed which makes a U-turn.Route guidanceThe following situations do not indicate a malfunction:l   Guidance may not be displayed even though a turn is required at an intersection. Guidance of the name of the intersection may not be provided.l   Guidance for left or right turns may not match the actual shape of the road.l   Voice guidance may be provided when the vehicle deviated from the guidance route, for example, turning before the guided intersection. l   It may not be possible to display/provide audio direction guidance on some highways and toll roads.l   The Enlarged intersection map may not match the actual road shape.l   The guidance distances may be slightly inaccurate.27
