HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
GI-11

Inspection and AdjustmentNJCL0006CLUTCH PEDAL INSPECTIONNJCL0006S03Pedal StrokeNJCL0006S0301Check clutch pedal stroke by using a 1–meter rule to measure the
total pedal stroke. Place end of rule onto the middle of the clutch
pedal pad. Place a book/clipboard on the driver’s seat to set a ref-
erence point, ensure the book/clipboard does not move during
pedal depression. Mark (A) the pedal fully up position on the rule.
Depress the clutch pedal and mark (B) the rule again next to the
reference point on the book/clipboard. Measure the distance
between the marks (A and B), this is the actual pedal stroke (S).
Check the specified pedal stroke in the table, adjust actual pedal
stroke if necessary (refer to“CLUTCH PEDAL ADJUSTMENT”).
NOTE:
Do not use steering wheel as a reference point, angle gives
incorrect reading.
Ensure there is no interference between the floor carpet and
clutch pedal when fully depressed.

Push on the clutch pedal until resistance is felt, and check the
distance the pedal moves.

Cause (condition) -:While driving ooo:Display Driving condition Remarks (correction, etc.)
PlaceIn a parking lot
SEL709V
When driving in a parking lot, or other
location where there are no roads on
the map, matching may place the
vehicle mark on a nearby road. When
the vehicle returns to the road, the
vehicle mark may have deviated from
the correct location.
When driving in circle or turning the
steering wheel repeatedly, direction
errors accumulate, and the vehicle
mark may deviate from the correct
location.
If after travelling about 10 km (6
miles) the correct location has not
been restored, perform location
correction and, if necessary,
direction correction. Turn table
SEL710V
When the ignition switch is OFF, the
navigation system cannot get the sig-
nal from the gyroscope (angular speed
sensor). Therefore, the displayed
direction may be wrong and the cor-
rect road may not be easily returned to
after rotating the vehicle on a turn
table with the ignition switch OFF.
Slippery roadsOn snow, wet roads, gravel, or other
roads where tires may slip easily,
accumulated mileage errors may
cause the vehicle mark to deviate from
the correct road.
SlopesWhen parking in sloped garages,
when travelling on banked roads, or in
other cases where the vehicle turns
when tilted, an error in the turning
angle will occur, and the vehicle mark
may deviate from the road.
Map dataRoad not displayed on the map screen
SEL699V
When driving on new roads or other
roads not displayed on the map
screen, map matching does not func-
tion correctly and matches the location
to a nearby road. When the vehicle
returns to a road which is on the map,
the vehicle mark may deviate from the
correct road.
Different road pattern
(Changed due to repair)
ELK0201D
If the road pattern stored in the map
data and the actual road pattern are
different, map matching does not func-
tion correctly and matches the location
to a nearby road. The vehicle mark
may deviate from the correct road.
Vehicle Use of tire chainsWhen tire chains are used, the mile-
age is not correctly detected, and the
vehicle mark may deviate from the
correct road.Drive the vehicle for a while. If
the distance is still deviated,
adjust it by using the distance
adjustment function. (If the tire
chain is removed, recover the
original value.)
