sudden dangers or potential damage.
• The route guidance of this MMCS may
sometimes differ from the actual road
conditions. Drive safely in accordance with the
new road conditions or regulations.
• Performing complicated operations while driving
can cause an accident by distracting the driver
from conditions in front of the vehicle. Be sure to
park in a safe location before operating.
• Do not look at the screen for a long time while
driving, as it can cause an accident.NOTE • Do not disassemble or modify this MMCS, as it
can cause a malfunction.

NOTE  If an abnormality (e.g., water or foreign matter
enters the MMCS or the MMCS emits smoke
or an abnormal smell) occurs, do not use the
MMCS. Have it inspected at an authorized
Mitsubishi dealer. Do not continue to use the
MMCS or try to repair it yourself.
 The following are characteristics of the LCD and
are not malfunctions:
- Small black spots or bright spots (red, blue, or
green) on the screen.
- When it is cold, screen becomes darker or
reddish or operations become slower.
- Color and brightness vary according to the
viewing angle.
 Use a clean soft cloth to wipe off any dirt from
the screen. Do not use any cleaners (such as
benzene, thinners, antistatic agents or chemical
cloths), as they may damage the screen.
 Do not use the MMCS for an extended time
while the engine is off.
Usage PrecautionsWARNING
 Do not operate the Mitsubishi Multi
Communication System (MMCS) while driving.
 Always concentrate on your driving rst. Keep
your eyes and mind on the road. If distracted
while driving, you could cause an accident.
 When operating the MMCS, do not park with the
engine running in a closed or poorly ventilated
area. Carbon monoxide gas, which is odorless
and extremely poisonous, can build up and
cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
 Drive according to the actual traf c conditions.
This MMCS gives guidance to arrive at the
destination, but it cannot warn the driver of
sudden dangers or potential damage.
 The route guidance of this MMCS may
sometimes differ from the actual road
conditions. Drive safely in accordance with the
new road conditions or regulations.
 Do not disassemble or modify, as it could cause
malfunctions, smoke emissions or re.

Map Disc 1-5
Introduction
Map DiscSupported Areas
The map data for the MMCS has been
divided and recorded on 3 discs.
Refer to
“Support Information” (8-2)
for
details on how to view the supported
areas.
eng_163
However, the divided map data is only
used for searching POIs or addresses.
Scroll operations to set destinations
and store locations are always
available.
Map Disc Loading and Removal
Map Disc LoadingPress down the lid of the disc insertion slot.
Load the map disc with the label facing upwards.
The system is loaded automatically.
After the disc reading is completed, be sure to
pull up and close the lid of the disc insertion slot.NOTE The software version is updated automatically
when the map disc is loaded into the system,
the rst time only.
eng_558
At this time, do not turn the ignition switch from
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 1-6
GPS Measurement
GPSGPS is the acronym for Global Positioning
System.
The MMCS uses GPS satellites that orbit the
Earth in space at an altitude of approximately
21,000km. Electromagnetic waves from at least
three of these satellites are received on the Earth
by the system, making it possible to learn the
current position.Map MatchingWhen traveling with just the GPS, there may be
errors in the current position display. In such case,
“map matching” is the function that compensates
for this error by assuming that vehicles travel
on roads and placing the current position on a
nearby road.
GPS antenna positionThe position of the vehicle is determined from the
weak electromagnetic waves from GPS satellites
received by the GPS antenna.

ENDEAVOR
NOTESince it may not be possible to accurately display
the vehicle position if the electromagnetic waves
from the GPS satellite are blocked, be sure to
obey the following:
 Do not attach reflective-type films or films
containing carbon to the window glass.
 Do not place objects on top of or close to the
GPS antenna.
 Do not use cellphones, computers, etc. near the
GPS antenna.
Situations where accurate measurement is
not possibleIn situations such as the following, accurate
measurement may not be possible.
 Inside a tunnel or indoor parking area Under a two-tier freeway

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.
