General Information■Accuracy of vehicle positionArea in which GPS signals cannot be received
Because the radiowave signals from the GPS satellites travel
primarily by line of sight, the navigation system might not be
able to receive the signals in the areas described below.
(If the GPS mark does not appear on the map screen, it
means that the GPS radiowave signals are not being
properly received.)
(1) Inside a tunnel
(2) Inside a building
(3) Under a three-dimensional road system such as for high-
speed roads
(4) On boulevards lined with trees
(5) Between buildings
(6) Under a cliff or in a cave
• If the GPS antenna or its surroundings are blocked by an
obstacle (including cargo), it might not be possible for the
system to receive the GPS radiowave signals.
• If multiple paths are created due to the reflection from
buildings, a large measurement error could occur, causing
the vehicle’s mark to deviate from its actual position.Deviation of the vehicle’s position mark
The vehicle’s position mark could deviate from its actual
position when the vehicle is being driven under the
conditions listed below or due to conditions of the GPS
satellites.If the vehicle travels on a road whose actual shape differs
from that in the map data, the vehicle’s mark could deviate
from the actual position. The correct position will eventually
appear on the screen through the correction function. If the
screen does not show the correct position for an excessively
long time, correct the current position or make an automatic
correction.
(1) The vehicle’s mark could appear on a parallel road.
(2) When the road splits into a narrow Y, the vehicle’s mark
could appear on the other fork of the Y.
(3) When the vehicle makes a right or left turn, the vehicle’s
mark could appear on one street ahead or behind.
(4) If the vehicle is transported by means other than the
vehicle’s own power, such as on a ferryboat, the
vehicle’s mark will remain in the position it was before
the transport until the system can calculate the position
through the GPS.
(5) When the vehicle is driven on a steep incline, the
vehicle’s mark could deviate from its actual position.
(6) If there are continuous gradual curves in the same
direction, the vehicle’s mark could deviate from its
actual position.
(7) If the vehicle is driven in a zigzag pattern, such as
through frequent lane changes, the vehicle’s mark could
deviate from its actual position.
(8) If the vehicle is placed on a turntable, such as in a
parking area, and turned with the ignition OFF, the
vehicle’s mark could deviate from its actual orientation.

The vehicle’s mark could also deviate even after the
vehicle has exited the parking area.
(9) The vehicle’s mark could deviate from its actual position
if the vehicle is driven using tire chains or snow tires on
a snow-covered road or on a mountainous road.
(10) The vehicle’s mark could deviate from its actual position
after the tires have been replaced.
■How the vehicle position is detectedDetecting the vehicle’s position through the GPS
GPS stands for “Global Positioning System”, which is a
system used for detecting an object’s position through the
use of satellites of the U.S. Department of Defense.
Radiowave signals from three or more satellites are received
by the navigation system, which utilizes the principle of
triangulation to detect the position at which the radiowave
signals are received.
When the navigation unit is receiving the GPS radiowave
signals, a “GPS” mark will appear on the map screen.Detecting the vehicle’s position through self-containednavigation
Self-contained navigation is a system that detects the
vehicle’s position by calculating the vehicle’s driven distance
and turning angle though the use of various types of sensors
that are mounted on the vehicle.Through the use of self-contained navigation, the vehicle’s
position can be detected even in an area where the GPS
radiowave signals cannot be received.
Making corrections to the detection of the vehicle’sposition through map matching
• In map matching, the position information resulting from
the detection of the vehicle’s position and the locus of the
travel of the vehicle up to the present are constantly
compared to the shape of the roads on the map in order to
correct the vehicle’s position mark to the most appropriate
road.
• If the vehicle is driven on a road whose actual shape
differs from its map data, the vehicle’s position mark on
the map could deviate from its actual position.
Occasionally, the correction of the vehicle’s position mark
to the actual road on the map can be observed, particularly
after the vehicle has turned at an intersection or has exited
from a parking area.

General Information■Accuracy of the route guidanceThe conditions listed below do not indicate a malfunction.
(1) The guidance might prompt the driver to drive straight
even though the vehicle is being driven on a straight road.
(2) The directional guidance could display multiple place
names.
(3) If the vehicle makes a turn at an intersection before the
guided route, the wrong type of voice guidance could be
outputted.
(4) The guidance might not be outputted while the vehicle
is making a turn at an intersection.
(5) The system might not be able to search for the proper
route.
(6) If there is no road to the destination or if there is only a
narrow road, the route might be indicated up to an area
that is short of the destination.
(7) The repeat search could take a long time while the
vehicle is being driven at high speeds.
(8) While the system is searching again for the route, the
route indication might not appear in time for the next
right or left turn.
(9) The route might not change even if a search is made
again.
(10) The system might guide the driver to make a U-turn.
(11) The system might guide the driver to a road that cannot
actually be travelled (such as a road to which entry is
prohibited).(12) The system might not output guidance even if the
vehicle is driven in reverse on the guided route.
(13) The system might not use a local ferryboat even if the
ferry priority is selected.
(14) If the intersection that you’re being guided to is near the
end of the route search, the system might not be able
to provide guidance.
(15) The route might not go on a toll road even if the toll-road
priority is selected.
Similarly, a route that uses a toll road could appear on
the screen even if the toll-road priority is not selected.
(The driver may or may not be able to select “toll-road
priority” if both toll and free roads are available.)

Confirm whether the problem is due to a minor operational error or a malfunction in the system by referring to
the table below before you contact your SUBARU dealer for any repair service.

General Information
Small spots or bright flashes appear on the screen display.
This is probably due to the natural characteristics of the liquid
crystal display (LCD).
The DVD-ROM disc cannot be ejected.
The disc might be incompatible or might have been inserted
incorrectly.There is nothing wrong with the display and no need for
concern.
