Information 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.
Map data covers select metropolitan areas in the
United States.
Map data is available on map DVD-ROMs. For
information about map DVD-ROMs, contact a

ABOUT THE MAP DVD-ROM1. This map DVD-ROM has been prepared by

ZENRIN CO., LTD. has added, processed
and digitized data based on the digital road
map data of Navigation Technologies Cor-
poration. Due to the production timing of the
map data, some new roads may not be
included in this map data or some of the
names or roads may be different from those
at the time you use this map DVD-ROM.
2. Traffic control and regulation data used in this map DVD-ROM may be different from
those at the time you use this map DVD-
ROM due to the data production timing.

General system information
9-15

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ
between Plan view and Birdview
TM. This is because the quantity of the displayed information
is reduced so that
the screen does not become too crowded. There is also a chance that
names of the roads or locations may be displayed multiple times, and the
names appearing on the screen may be different because of a processing
procedure. This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle icon is not displayed in the
correct position. The vehicle was transported after the ignition switch
was pushed off, for
example, by a ferry or car transporter. Drive the vehicle for a while on a road where
GPS
signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon may be incorrect depending
on the driving environments and the levels of positioning accuracy of the
navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for a while
to automatically correct the position and direction of
the vehicle icon.
“CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATION”
(page 9-3)
When the vehicle is traveling on a new
road, the vehicle icon is located on
another road nearby. Because the new road is not stored in the map
data, the system
automatically places the vehicle icon on the nearest road available.Updated road information will be included in the next
version of the map DVD-ROM.
The screen does not switch to the night
screen even after turning on the head-
lights. The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights
were turned on. Set the screen to the night screen mode using
<
>(Day/Night) when you turn on the head-
lights.“DISPLAY SETTINGS” (page 8-3)
The map does not scroll even when the
vehicle is moving. The current location map screen is not displayed.
