POSITIONING ADJUSTMENT
When the system judges that the vehicle posi-
tion information is not accurate based on vehicle
speed and gyro sensor data calculations, the
system will adjust the vehicle position informa-
tion using GPS signals.
RECEIVING SIGNALS FROM GPS
SATELLITES
Sometimes, satellite reception is weak. The fol-
lowing are places where signals tend to be
weak:
cInside tunnels and parking lots in buildings
cAreas with numerous tall buildings
cUnder multi-layered highways
cIn a dense forest
cNear military bases and certain government
facilities
Vehicles in these areas may not receive GPS
signals (Indicator color: gray) .
INFO:
The antenna for GPS is located on the instru-
ment panel inside the vehicle.Do not place
any objects, especially mobile phones or
transceivers, on the instrument panel.Be-cause the strength of the GPS signals are ap-
proximately one billionth of that of TV waves;
phones and transceivers will decrease the
strength or may totally disrupt the signals.
DISPLAY OF GPS INFORMATION
This system displays GPS information.
Please refer to “GPS information display” on
page 11-17.
NOTE:
Directional guidance provided by the navi-
gation system does not take carpool lane
driving into consideration, especially when
carpool lanes are separated from other
road lanes.This system is designed to help you reach your
destination, and also performs other functions as
outlined in this manual. However, you, the driver,
must use the system safely and properly. Infor-
mation concerning road conditions, traffic signs
and the availability of services may not always be
up-to-date. The system is not a substitute for
safe, proper, and legal driving.

careful about the traffic direction, espe-
cially when the lanes with different travel
directions are shown separately. Such
places are interchanges and service
areas.
– This system makes no distinction be-
tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show a de-
toured route even if the road is usable.
– Even if the freeway preference is set to
OFF, the route may be set on them. To
avoid this, set a waypoint on another
road type and request calculation.
– Even if the preference is set as OFF for a
ferry line, the route may be set on it. To
avoid this, set a waypoint on a road and
request calculation.
– Ferry lines, except those which accept
only pedestrians, bicycles and
motorcycles, are stored in this system.
When using them, take into consider-
ation the travel time required and opera-
tional condition to decide whether to use
them or not.ABOUT THE DISPLAY ERROR
The following cases may affect the display accu-
racy of the vehicle’s position or travel direction.
The accuracy will return to normal if the driving
conditions return to normal:
– When there is a similar road nearby.
– When the vehicle is traveling on a long stretch
of straight road or series of curves with a large
radius.
– When the vehicle is traveling in an area with a
checkerboard road system.
– When the vehicle is making consecutive S
curves.
– When the vehicle is at a large Y-shaped
junction.
– When the vehicle is on a loop bridge.
– When the vehicle is on a snow-covered or un-
paved road.
– When the vehicle has made several consecu-
tive turns or zigzags.
– When the vehicle is rotated on a parking lot
turntable while the ignition switch is OFF.
– Immediately after the vehicle is driven out of a
parking garage or underground parking lot.– When the vehicle has different sizes of tires or
tire chains.
– When the vehicle is moved immediately after
the engine is started.
