ACC to OFF.
Map Disc RemovalThe disc comes out automatically when the lid is
pressed down.
Do not touch the recorded surface when removing
the disc.Map Disc
LidNOTE The map disc (DVD-ROM) was created with the
most up-to-date database possible.
However, the actual road conditions may
sometimes be different due to new roads,
changes in existing roads, or name changes.
Be sure to drive according to the actual traf c
conditions.
The contents of the map disc may be subject to
change without notice.
We recommend using the latest version of the
DVD-ROM.
Please consult your local dealer for details.

GPS Measurement 1-7
Introduction
Area with many high-rise buildings Between closely-spaced trees The US Tracking and Control Center controls the
satellites. Sometimes the electromagnetic waves are
stopped during upgrades or repairs to the system.NOTE Do not block the electromagnetic waves, for
example by placing objects on or around the
GPS antenna.
Avoid using a 1.5G digital mobile phone in the
vicinity of the GPS antenna, as it could prevent
accurate measurement.
Situations where errors occur in the current
location and direction Errors sometimes occur when the accuracy of
the GPS satellite unit is poor.
The GPS satellites are controlled by the United
States Department of Defense, so sometimes
the satellite itself intentionally sends incorrect
position data. The measurement error will
increase in this kind of situation.
Sometimes sufficient accuracy is not possible
because the distribution of the GPS satellites
is poor (when the satellites are aligned in
approximately the same direction or height).
(The best accuracy for GPS measurement
is when signals are received from multiple
satellites; a satellite directly over the vehicle and
others just over the horizon to the north, south,
east and west.)
Regarding the height and directional accuracy
of GPS measurement, errors are slightly more
likely in the horizontal direction.
Electromagnetic waves from satellites higher
than the vehicle height can be received, but
electromagnetic waves cannot physically be
received from satellites positioned lower than
the vehicle height (on the far side of the Earth).
This means that an adequate height comparison
is not possible.
3D MeasurementWhen valid electromagnetic waves can be
received from at least four GPS satellites, the 3D
positions of latitude, longitude and height are
calculated.2D MeasurementWhen valid electromagnetic waves can only be
received from three or less GPS satellites, the
height is assumed to be unchanged from the
previous measurement and the 2D positions
of latitude and longitude are calculated. If this
happens, the accuracy of the position is less than
with the 3D measurement.No MeasurementIf no valid electromagnetic waves can be received
from the GPS satellites, there is no measurement.

Error in the Current Location 1-8Error in the Current LocationIn situations such as the following, the
current location may not be correctly
displayed. Vehicle was moved without it being driven
(E.g., when transported on a ferry or trailer) Vehicle direction was changed without turning
on the engine
(E.g., on a turntable in a parking area)
After replacing the tires or chains When driving on roads with elevation
differences, such as mountain roads with steep
inclines When driving on roads that continue for a long
time in a straight line or gentle curve
(E.g., freeways)
When driving around tight hairpin corners When meandering on wide roads When driving on Y-shaped roads

Route Calculation 1-10
Route Calculation
The most up-to-date road information and
regulation data possible have been used for
the maps and information used in this system.
However, subsequent road changes may
cause the information to differ from the actual
conditions, and inappropriate guidance may be
given. Be sure to drive according to the actual
traf c conditions.
Not all roads are subject to the recommended
route guidance.
The calculated route is only one example of a
road that reaches the destination, which the
system calculated by taking into account road
types and traf c conditions. It is not necessarily
always the best route.
Not all ferry routes are necessarily stored in the
data. Further, even if ferry routes are prioritized
they are not necessarily used in the route.
The route selection is a comprehensive
judgement based on factors such as the road
type, distance and road width, but this does
not mean that the best route is always selected.
Think of the route as only one example of many
possible routes. The route guidance is performed for the roads
subject to the route guidance that are the
nearest to the destination or way point. For
this reason, an inappropriate route may be
displayed if the set route includes a location
where many roads are concentrated together,
such as at an interchange. Further, if the
destination or way point becomes far away from
the intersections of roads subject to the route
guidance, a route may be displayed that passes
the destination or way point.
Traffic lanes in both directions are separately
input for wide roads or roads with central
dividers. If a destination (way point) is set in this
kind of position, a route may be selected that
passes and then returns to the destination (way
point).
The rst guidance location is the road nearest to
the starting position (vehicle).
The nal guidance location is the road nearest
to the location set as the destination.
If while driving along the route seems very
indirect, it is possible that a route has been set
in the direction opposite to the current vehicle
direction.
The guidance route may result in the vehicle
being on the opposite side of a river or station
from that which is desired. If this happens,
move the destination near to the desired road. Sometimes it will not be possible to avoid toll
roads or ferry routes, when there are no other
suitable routes.
If three recommended routes do not exist, the
same route may be repeated.
Sometimes the enlarged intersection map will
not be displayed immediately after the route
calculation, or due to other conditions.
