5. GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
1. LIMITATIONS OF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense provides an accurate
current position, normally using 4 or more
satellites, and in some case 3 satellites.
The GPS system has a certain level of in-
accuracy. While the navigation system will
compensate for this most of the time, oc-
casional positioning errors of up to 300
feet (100 m) can and should be expected.
Generally, position errors will be corrected
within a few seconds.
When the vehicle is receiving signals from
satellites, the “GPS” mark appears at the
top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically ob-
structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle po-
sition on the map screen. Tunnels, tall
buildings, trucks, or even the placement of
objects on the instrument panel may ob-
struct the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not send signals
due to repairs or improvements being
made to them.
Even when the navigation system is re-
ceiving clear GPS signals, the vehicle po-
sition may not be shown accurately or
inappropriate 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.
• When driving on a long straight road.
• When freeway and surface streets run in parallel.
• After moving by ferry or vehicle carrier.
• When a long route is searched during high speed driving.
• When driving without setting the current
position calibration correctly.
• After repeating a change of direction by going forward and backward, or turning
on a turntable in a parking lot.
• When leaving a covered parking lot or parking garage.
• When a roof carrier is installed.
• When driving with tire chains installed.
• When the tires are worn.
• After replacing a tire or tires.
• When using tires that are smaller or larger than the factory specifications.
• When the tire pressure in any of the 4 tires is not correct.
This navigation system calculates the
current position using satellite signals,
various vehicle signals, map data, etc.
However, an accurate position may not
be shown depending on satellite condi-
tions, road configuration, vehicle con-
dition or other circumstances.NOTICE
● The installation of window tinting may
obstruct the GPS signals. Most window
tinting contains some metallic content
that will interfere with GPS signal recep-
tion of the antenna in the instrument
panel. We advise against the use of win-
dow tinting on vehicles equipped with
navigation systems.
 If the vehicle cannot receive GPS sig-
nals, the current position can be
adjusted manually. For information on
setting the current position calibration,
see page 111.

An antenna for the Bluetooth® connection is built in the instrument
panel. The condition of the Bluetooth® connection may deteriorate
and the system may not function when a Bluetooth® phone is used
in the following conditions and/or places:
 The cellular phone is obstructed by certain objects (such as when
it is behind the seat or in the glove box and console box).
 The cellular phone touches or is covered with metal materials.
Leave the Bluetooth
® phone in a place where the condition of the
Bluetooth® connection is good.
When the cellular phone is not connected, “No Connect” is dis-
played.

INFORMATION
●Remaining charge is not displayed while
the Bluetooth® device is connecting.
● The amount left does not always corre-
spond with the one of your portable
player.
● This system does not have a charging
function.
● An antenna for Bluetooth
® connection is
built into the instrument panel. The
condition of the Bluetooth
® connection
may not be good and the system may
not function when using a Bluetooth
®
portable player in the following
conditions:
• The portable player is hiding from the display (behind a seat or in the glove
box or console box).
• The portable player touches or is cov- ered with metal materials.
● Leave the Bluetooth
® portable player in
a place where the condition of
Bluetooth
® connection is good.
 Portable player information is registered
when the portable player is connected
to the Bluetooth
® audio system. When
selling or disposing of the vehicle,
remove the Bluetooth
® audio informa-
tion from the system. (See “DELETING
A Bluetooth
® DEVICE” on page 166.)
