Vehicle positioning precision

The vehicle mark position may not be
displayed correctly due to the driving
environment and the GPS satellite status.

Continue driving without taking further action,
and the map matching function and GPS satellite
data will be used to automatically correct the
vehicle mark position.

l

When a highway and an ordinary road are

close together

l

When driving through a fork junction with a

narrow angle between roads

l

When driving on roads in a block grid pattern

l

After moving on a ferry, car transporter, etc.

l

When driving on steep mountain roads

l

When driving on winding roads

l

When turning right or left after driving on a

straight road for a long period

l

When driving in a weaving motion on a wide

road

The vehicle mark position may not be displayed
correctly in the following additional situations:

l

Between turning the ignition switch on (after

turning the power on) and receiving GPS
signals.

l

When driving for the first time after installing

this system.

l

After changing a tire, particularly when driving

on an emergency tire.

l

When driving on roads that are slippery due

What is a navigation system?

Route searching

The following situations do not indicate
a malfunction:

l

Some roads may be impassable, such as

roads closed in winter or temporarily closed
for pedestrians.

l

When searching for a route through narrow

streets, the route may include impassable
footpaths or stairs.

l

Some roads may be impassable, due to the

opening of a new road.

l

Roads may be displayed which are not

actually passable.

l

The route may not change even when the

search is repeated.

l

The route may be congested.

l

If there is no road or only very narrow roads

to the destination, the route may only be
displayed to a point some distance from the
destination.

l

Guidance may lead to an ordinary road

under an elevated road. The reverse can also
happen.

l

A route may be displayed which makes a

U-turn.

the actual shape of the road.

l

Voice guidance may be provided when the

vehicle deviated from the guidance route,
for example, turning before the guided
intersection.
