NAVIGATION SYSTEM
MAP–MATCHING
Map–matching is a function that repositions the vehicle on the road
map when a new location is judged to be the most accurate. This is
done by comparing the current vehicle position, calculated by the
method described in the position detection principle, with the road
map data around the vehicle, read from the map data stored on the
HDD.
Therefore, the vehicle position may not be corrected after the vehicle
is driven over a certain distance or time in which GPS information is
hard to receive. In this case, the current-location mark on the display
must be corrected manually.
CAUTION:
The road map data is based on data stored on the HDD.
• In map-matching, alternative rout
es to reach the destination will be
shown and prioritized, after the road on which the vehicle is cur-
rently driven has been judged and the current-location mark has
been repositioned.
If there is an error in distance and/or direction, the alternative
routes will be shown in different order of priority, and the wrong
road can be avoided.
If two roads are running in parallel, they are of the same priority.
Therefore, the current-location mark may appear on either of them
alternately, depending on maneuvering of the steering wheel and
configuration of the road.
• Map-matching does not function correctly when the road on which the vehicle is driving is new and not recorded on the HDD, or when
the road pattern stored in the m ap data and the actual road pattern
are different due to repair.
When driving on a road not present in the map, the map-matching
function may find another road and position the current-location
mark on it. Then, when the correct road is detected, the current-
location mark may leap to it.
• Effective range for comparing the vehicle position and travel direc-
tion calculated by the distance and direction with the road data
read from the HDD is limited. Therefore, when there is an exces-
sive gap between the current vehicle position and the position on
the map, correction by map-matching is not possible.
GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
GPS (Global Positioning System) has been developed and con-
trolled by the US Department of Defense. The system utilizes GPS
satellite (NAVSTAR), sending out radio waves while flying on an orbit
around the earth at the height of approx. 21,000 km (13,000 miles).
The GPS receiver calculates the vehicle's position in three dimen-
sions (latitude/longitude/altitude) according to the time lag of the
radio waves received from four or more GPS satellites (three-dimen-
sional positioning). If radio waves were received only from three
GPS satellites, the GPS receiver calculates the vehicle's position in
two dimensions (latitude/longitude), utilizing the altitude data calcu-
lated previously by using radio wa ves from four or more GPS satel-
lites (two-dimensional positioning).
Type Advantage Disadvantage
Gyroscope (angular velocity sensor) • Can detect the vehicle's turning angle quite
accurately. • Direction errors may accumulate when the ve-
hicle is driven for long distances without stop-
ping.
GPS antenna (GPS information) • Can detect the vehicle's travel direction
(North/South/East/West). • Correct direction cannot be detected when the
vehicle speed is low.

WARNING:
• Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. Always use safety stands to sup-
port the frame when you have to get under the vehicle.
• Place wheel chocks at both front an d back of the wheels on the ground.
CAUTION:
• All applicable State or Provincial (in Canada) laws and local laws regarding the towing operation
must be obeyed.
• It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage during towing operation.
Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.
• Always attach safety chains before towing.
• When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and powertrain are in good order. If any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.
• Never tow an automatic transmission model from the rear (i.e., backward) with four wh eels on the ground as this may
cause serious and expensive dama ge to the transmission.
2WD MODEL
NIFINTI does not recommend towing automatic transmission
equipped vehicles with the drive wheels on the ground.
CAUTION:
• When towing with the front wheels on the ground: Turn the
ignition key to the OFF posit ion and move the transmission
selector lever to N (neutral) pos ition, turn the ignition key to
OFF position and secure the steering wheel in a straight
ahead position with a rope or similar device. Never place the
ignition key in the LOCK position. This will result in damage
to the steering lock mechanism.
• When the battery of the vehicle equipped with Intelligent Key system is discharged, the vehicle should be towed with the
front wheels on towing dollies or place the vehicle on a flat
bed truck.

NOTE:
The rear ABS sensor is routed through the back of t he rear backing plate and into the side of the wheel hub
and bearing assembly. It is necessary to remove the wheel hub and bearing assembly to remove the rear ABS
sensor.
REMOVAL
1. Remove the wheel and tire using power tool.
2. Remove the rear brake caliper, without disconnecting t he hydraulic hose, using power tool. Reposition the
rear brake caliper aside using suitable wire. Refer to BR-36, "Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper
and Disc Rotor".
NOTE:
 Do not depress the brake pedal while the brake caliper is removed.
3. Remove the rear disc rotor.
4. Remove the cotter pin, then remove the nut from the drive shaft using power tool.
 Discard the cotter pin, use a new one for installation.
5. Remove the drive shaft. Refer to RAX-9, "Removal and Installa-
tion".
6. Remove the four wheel hub and bearing assembly bolts using power tool.  Discard the four wheel hub and bearing assembly bolts, use new ones for installation.
