NAVIGATION SYSTEM
5. GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
1. LIMITATIONS OF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense provides an accurate
current position, normally using 4 or more
satellites, and in some case 3 satellites. The
GPS system has a certain level of inaccura-
cy. While the navigation system will com-
pensate for this most of the time, occasional
positioning errors of up to 300 ft. (100 m)
can and should be expected. Generally, po-
sition errors will be corrected within a few
seconds. When the vehicle is receiving signals from
satellites, the “GPS” mark appears at the
top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically obstruct-
ed, leading to inaccurate vehicle position on
the map screen. Tunnel
s, tall buildings,
trucks, or even the pl acement 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 system is receiv-
ing clear GPS signals, the vehicle position
may not be shown accurately or inappropri-
ate route guidance may occur in some cas-
es.
This navigation system calculates the
current position using satellite signals,
various vehicle signals, map data, etc.
However, an accurate position may not
be shown depending on satellite condi-
tions, road configuration, vehicle condi-
tion or other circumstances.
NOTICE
●The installation of window tinting may
obstruct the GPS signals. Most window
tinting contains some metallic content
that will interfere with GPS signal recep-
tion of the antenna in the instrument
panel. We advise against the use of win-
dow tinting on vehicles equipped with
navigation systems.

zHandle discs carefully, especially when
inserting them. Hold them on the edge and
do not bend them. Avoid getting finger-
prints on them, partic ularly on the shiny
side.
z Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes or other
disc damage could cause the player to skip
or to repeat a section of a track. (To see a
pin hole, hold the disc up to the light.)
z Remove discs from the players when not in
use. Store them in their plastic cases away
from moisture, heat and direct sunlight.
To c l e a n a d i s c : Wipe it with a soft, lint-free
cloth that has been dampened with water.
Wipe in a straight line from the center to the
edge of the disc (not in circles). Dry it with
another soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use a
conventional record cleaner or anti-static
device.
z MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and WMA
(Windows Media Audio) are audio com-
pression standards.
z The MP3/WMA player can play MP3 and
WMA files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-
RW discs.
z The unit can play disc recordings compati-
ble with ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2 and
with the Romeo and Joliet file system.
z When naming an MP3 or WMA file, add
the appropriate file extension (.mp3 or
.w m a ) .
z The MP3/WMA player plays back files
with .mp3 or .wma file extensions as MP3
or WMA files. To prevent noise and play-
back errors, use the appropriate file exten-
sions.
z The MP3/WMA player can play only the
first session when using multi-session com-
patible CDs.
NOTICE
●Do not use special shaped, transparent/
translucent, low quality or labeled discs
such as those shown in the illustrations.
The use of such discs may damage the
player, or it may be impossible to eject the
disc.
●This system is not designed for use of
DualDiscs. Do not use DualDiscs
because they may cause damage to the
player.
●Do not use discs with a protection ring.
The use of such discs may damage the
player, or it may be impossible to eject the
disc.
●Do not use printable discs. The use of
such discs may damage the player, or it
may be impossible to eject the disc.

zThis is a general term that describes the
process of writing da ta on-demand to CD-
R, etc., in the same way that data is written
to floppy or hard discs.
z This is a method of embedding track-
related information in an MP3 file. This
embedded information can include the
track title, the artist’s name, the album title,
the music genre, the year of production,
comments 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 charac-
ters, the information can be viewed when
the track is played back.
z 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. z
This is the international standard for the for-
matting of CD-ROM folders and files. For
the ISO 9660 format, there are 2 levels of
regulations.
z Level 1: The file name is in 8.3 format (8
character file names, with a 3 character file
extension. File names must be composed of
one-byte capital letters and numbers. The
“_” symbol may also be included.)
z Level 2: The file name can have up to 31
characters (including the separation mark
“.” and file extension). Each folder must
contain fewer than 8 hierarchies.
z Playlists created using “WINAMP” soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
z MP3 is an audio compression standard
determined by a working group (MPEG) of
the ISO (International Standard Organiza-
tion). MP3 compresses audio data to about
1 /10 the size of that on conventional discs.
z WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio
compression format developed by
Microsoft
®. It compresses files into a size
smaller than that of MP3 files. The decod-
ing formats for WMA files are Ver. 7, 8 and
9.

zFan speed is adjusted automatically
according to the temperature setting and
the ambient conditions.
z Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until
warm or cool air is ready to flow immedi-
ately after “A U T O ” is pressed.
z The windows will easily fog up when the
humidity in the vehicle is high. Selecting
“A / C ” on will dehumidify the air from the
outlets and defog the windshield effectively.
z If “A / C ” is switched off, the windows may
fog up more easily.
z The windows may fog up if the recirculated
air mode is used. z
When automatic mode is set, the humidity
sensor (see page 305) detects fog on the
windshield and controls the air condition-
ing system to prevent fog.
z When driving on dusty roads such as tun-
nels or in heavy traffic, set the outside/
recirculated air mode button to the recircu-
lated air mode. This is effective in prevent-
ing outside air from entering the vehicle
interior. During cooling operation, setting
the recirculated air mode will also cool the
vehicle interior effectively.
z Outside/recirculated air mode may auto-
matically switch depe nding on the temper-
ature setting or the inside temperature.

zIn order to reduce the air conditioning
power consumption, the air conditioning
system may switch to recirculated air mode
automatically. This may also reduce fuel
consumption.

default mode when the “START STOP
ENGINE” <“POWER”> switch is turned to
IGNITION ON mode.
z It is possible to switch to outside air mode at
any time by pressing the air intake control
button.
z In automatic mode, the system detects
exhaust gas and other pollutants and auto-
matically switches between outside air and
recirculated air modes.
When the dehumidification function is off,
and the fan is operating, turning automatic
mode on will activate the dehumidification
function. z
In order to prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up when the outside air is cold, the fol-
lowing may occur:
• Outside air mode does not switch to
recirculated air mode.
• The dehumidification function operates.
• The operation cancels after approxi- mately 1 minute.
z In rainy weather, the windows may fog up.
Press the windshield air flow button.
z In extremely humid weather, the windows
may fog up.
z The pollens are filtered out even if
is
turned off.
z In the following situations, the correct out-
side temperature may not be displayed, or
the display may take longer than normal to
change.
• When stopped, or driving at low speeds
(less than 12 mph [20 km/h])
• When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of
