System FunctionsNKS00489
Here is an example of functions. For details, refer to the owner's manual or navigation system owner's manual.
AUDIO
Speed Sensitive Volume (for BASE System)

Volume level of this system gone up and down automatically in proportion to the vehicle speed. And the
control level can be selected by the customer.

The audio unit inputs the vehicle signal that is sent from unified meter and A/C amp via CAN communica-
tion through AV (NAVI) control unit.
Precision Phased Audio (for BASE System)

It plays back the sound using the woofer (ultra-low bass and clear midrange sound) and reproduces the
sound with presence.

When the conventional BASS/TREBLE adjustment is a maximum, the sounds might be unclear because
the volume of midrange sound also rises together with the bass and treble. The precision phased audio
can emphasize ultra-low bass and ultra-high treble without changing the midrange sound by digital pro-
cessing using DSP.
NOTE:
When the radio is played, the noise may increase more than the presence due to the characteristics of
broadcasting waves. Therefore, the amplification rate while playing the radio is controlled lower than the
rate while playing CD.
AudioPilot® (for BOSE System)
AudioPilot® is the sound improving system that picks up any noises and the sound of music coming into the
vehicle by a microphone under the steering, and that the BOSE amp revises the frequency feature of music at
real time in response to the frequency feature of the noise while driving and listening to music.

If low frequency area noise from vehicle is loud, it adjusts low frequency element of music to be bigger
than vehicle noise.

If high frequency area noise from vehicle is loud, it adjusts all frequency element of music to be bigger
than vehicle noise.
Centerpoint® (for BOSE Surround 5.1ch System)
CD and 2.0ch DVD stereo sound played at audio unit and DVD player are subjected to signal processing in
BOSE amp. It can play the surround sound with presence.
VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEM

The status of audio, climate control system, fuel consumption, and navigation system (if equipped) are
displayed.

AV (NAVI) control unit receives the data signal from ECM, unified meter and A/C amp and low tire pres-
sure warning control unit via CAN communication. It calculates the values of fuel economy, tire pressure,
and trip computer from the received information and displays them.
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Location Detection Principle
The navigation system periodically calculates the vehicle's current
position according to the following three signals:

Travel distance of the vehicle as determined by the vehicle
speed sensor

Turning angle of the vehicle as determined by the gyroscope
(angular velocity sensor)

Direction of vehicle travel as determined by the GPS antenna
(GPS information)
The current position of the vehicle is then identified by comparing the
calculated vehicle position with map data read from the map DVD-
ROM, which is stored in the DVD-ROM drive (map-matching), and

indicated on the screen as a vehicle mark. More accurate data is judged and used by comparing vehicle posi-
tion detection results found by the GPS with the result by map-matching.
The current vehicle position will be calculated by detecting the dis-
tance the vehicle moved from the previous calculation point and its
direction.

Travel distance
Travel distance calculations are based on the vehicle speed
sensor input signal. Therefore, the calculation may become
incorrect as the tires wear down. To prevent this, an automatic
distance correction function has been adopted.

Travel direction
Change in the travel direction of the vehicle is calculated by a
gyroscope (angular velocity sensor) and a GPS antenna (GPS
information). They have both advantages and disadvantages.
More accurate traveling direction is detected because priorities are set for the signals from these two
devices according to the situation.
Map-Matching
Map-matching compares a current location detected by the method
in the “Location Detection Principle” with a road map data from Map
DVD-ROM stored in DVD-ROM drive.
NOTE:
The road map data is based on data stored in the map DVD-ROM.
The vehicle position may not be corrected under the following circumstances and after driving for a certain
time when GPS information is difficult to receive. In this case, the vehicle mark on the display must be cor-
rected manually.

In map-matching, alternative routes to reach the destination will
be shown and prioritized, after the road on which the vehicle is
currently driven has been judged and the vehicle mark has been
repositioned.
If there is an error in distance and/or direction, alternative routes
will be shown in different order of priority, and the incorrect road
can be avoided.
If two roads are running in parallel, they are of the same priority.
Therefore, the vehicle mark may appear on either of them alter-
nately, depending on maneuvering of the steering wheel and
configuration of the road.

ROUTE CALCULATION AND VISUAL GUIDANCE
The GPS indicator on the screen
remains gray.GPS signals cannot be received depending on the
vehicle location, such as in a parking garage, on a
road that has numerous tall buildings, etc.Drive on an open, straight road for a
while.
GPS signals cannot be received because objects
are placed on the instrument panel.Remove the objects from the instrument
panel.
A sufficient amount of GPS satellites are not avail-
able.Wait for the satellites to move locations
available for navigation system.
The location of vehicle icon is mis-
aligned from the actual position.When using tire chains or replacing the tires, speed
calculations based on the speed sensor may be
incorrect.Drive the vehicle for a while [at approxi-
mately 30 km/h (19 MPH) for about 30
minutes] to automatically correct the vehi-
cle icon position.
If this does not correct the vehicle icon
position, inspect AV system.
The map data has mistake or is incomplete (the
vehicle icon position is always misaligned in the
same area).Updated road information will be included
in the next version of the map DVD-ROM. Symptom Possible cause Possible solution

If two roads are running in parallel, they are of the same priority.
Therefore, the vehicle mark may appear on either of them alter-

configuration of the road.

Map-matching does not function correctly when a road on which
the vehicle is driving is new and not recorded in the map DVD-
ROM, or when road pattern stored in the map data and the
actual road pattern are different due to repair.
When driving on a road not present in the map, the map-match-
ing function may find another road and position the vehicle mark
on it. Then, when the correct road is detected, the vehicle mark
may change to it.

Effective range for comparing the vehicle position and travel
direction calculated by the distance and direction with the road
data read from the map DVD-ROM is limited. Therefore, when
there is an excessive gap between current vehicle position and
the position on the map, correction by map-matching is not possible.
