1293-5. Tips for the navigation system

Navigation system
HIGHLANDER_HIGHLANDER HV_NAVI_(U)
3-5.Tips for the navigation system
The Global Positioning System
(GPS) developed and operated
by the U.S. Department of
Defense provides an accurate
current position, normally using
4 or more satellites, and in some
case 3 satellites. The GPS sys-
tem has a certain level of inac-
curacy. While the navigation
system compensates for this
most of the time, occasional
positioning errors of up to 300 ft.
(100 m) can and should be
expected. Generally, position
errors will be corrected within a
few seconds.
When the vehicle is not receiv-
ing signals from satellites, the
unreceived GPS mark appears
on the map screen. When the
vehicle is receiving the signals,
the unreceived GPS mark does not appear on the map screen.
The GPS signal may be physi-
cally obstructed, leading to inac-
curate vehicle position on the
map screen. Tunnels, tall build-
ings, trucks, or even the place-
ment of objects on the
instrument panel may obstruct
the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not
send signals due to repairs or
improvements being made to
them.
Even when the navigation sys-
tem is receiving clear GPS sig-
nals, the vehicle position may
not be shown accurately or inap-
propriate route guidance may
occur in some cases.

Accurate current position may
not be shown in the following
cases:
• When driving on a small angled
Y-shaped road.
• When driving on a winding road.
• When driving on a slippery road such as in sand, gravel, snow,
etc.
GPS (Global Position-
ing System)
This navigation system cal-
culates the current position
using satellite signals, vari-
ous vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However, an accu-
rate position may not be
shown depending on satel-
lite conditions, road config-
uration, vehicle condition or
other circumstances.
Limitations of the naviga-
tion system
NOTICE
●The installation of window tint-
ing may obstruct the GPS sig-
nals. Most window tinting
contains some metallic content
that will interf ere with GPS sig-
nal reception of the antenna in
the instrument panel. We advise
against the use of window tint-
ing on vehicles equipped with
navigation systems.

eos stored in an SD card,
make certain to back up the
data.
 Before an SD card that con-
tains any kind of data is
played, slide the lock switch
on the SD card to “LOCK” in
order to prevent any data
from being accidentally
deleted or overwritten.
 Local storage
• Some BD videos have a feature
to memorize disc information,
such as a resume point, in a local
storage. The rear seat entertain-
ment system uses an SD card as
a local storage device. To use this
function, insert an SD card into
the SD card slot.
• The SD card memory function may differ depending on the BD
videos played.
• When an SD card that contains any kind of data is inserted, BD
video disc information will not be
stored into the SD card to protect
the existing data in the card. To
use an SD card as a local stor-
age, use another SD card that
does not contain any data.
WA R N I N G
●SD cards
• Keep away from children. These are small and if swal-
lowed by a child they can cause
choking.
NOTICE
●Failure to follow the precautions
below may result in damage to
the SD cards or the SD card
slot.
• Do not insert anything other than an SD card into the SD
card slot.
• Do not stick levels or stickers on SD card. There i s a possibility
that it may become impossible
to eject the SD ca rd from inside
the slot.
• Do not handle an SD card with wet hands. Doing so may cause
electric shock or a malfunction.
• Do not allow hands or metal objects to contact the interface
pins of SD cards.
• Do not place SD cards on the instrument panel, on any place
with direct sunlight or in areas
with a lot of moisture.
• Do not use SD cards in any
place where static electricity or
electric noise adversely affects
SD cards. This may cause data
corruption or data loss.
• Always place the SD card in its storage case when not in use.
