(A) Accurate current vehicle
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 motorway and surface streets •
run parallel.
After moving by ferry or vehicle •
carrier.
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. •
When tires are worn. •
After replacing a tire or tires. •
When using tires that are •
smaller or larger than the factory
specications.
When the tire pressure in any of the •
four tires is not correct.
INFORMATION
If your vehicle cannot receive
GPS signals, you can correct the
current position manually. For
information on setting the current
position calibration, see page 32.
APPENDIX
Limitations of the
Navigation System
This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, map data,
etc. However, the accurate position may be
shown depending on the satellite condi-
tion, road conguration, vehicle condition,
or other circumstances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) devel-
oped and operated by the U.S. Department of
Defense provides an accurate current vehicle
position using 3 to 4 satellites. The GPS sys-
tem has a certain degree of inaccuracy. While
the navigation system will compensate for this
most of the time, occasional 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 your vehicle is receiving signals from
the satellites, the “GPS” mark appears at the
bottom center of the screen next to the clock
information.
The GPS signal may be physically obstructed,
leading to inaccurate vehicle position on the
map display. Tunnels, tall buildings, trucks, or
even the placement of objects on the instru-
ment 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 system is re-
ceiving clear GPS signals, the vehicle position
may not be shown accurately or inappropriate
route guidance may occur in some cases.
NOTICE
The installation of window tinting may
obstruct the GPS signals. Most window
tinting contains some metallic content that
will interfere with GPS signal reception. We
advise against the use of window tinting on
vehicles equipped with navigation systems.
