Description

INFOID:0000000010435738

RELATED TO NOISE

The majority of the audio concerns are the result of outside causes (bad CD, electromagnetic interference,
etc.).
The following noise results from variations in field strength, such as fading noise and multi-path noise, or
external noise from trains and other sources. It is not a malfunction.
• Fading noise: This noise occurs because of variations in the field strength in a narrow range due to moun-

tains or buildings blocking the signal.

• Multi-path noise: This noise results from the waves sent directly from the broadcast station arriving at the

antenna at a different time from the waves which reflect off mountains or buildings.

The vehicle itself can be a source of noise if noise prevention parts or electrical equipment is malfunctioning.
Check if noise is caused and/or changed by engine speed, ignition switch turned to each position, and opera-
tion of each piece of electrical equipment, and determine the cause.
NOTE:
The source of the noise can be found easily by listening to the noise while removing the fuses of electrical
components, one by one.

Type of Noise and Possible Cause

RELATED TO HANDS-FREE PHONE

Occurrence condition

Possible cause

Occurs only when engine is ON.

A continuous growling noise occurs. The speed of 
the noise varies with changes in the engine speed.

• Ignition components

The occurrence of the noise is linked with the operation of the fuel pump.

• Fuel pump condenser

Noise only occurs when various 
electrical components are oper-
ating.

A cracking or snapping sound occurs with the op-
eration of various switches.

• Relay malfunction, AV control unit malfunc-

tion

The noise occurs when various motors are operat-
ing.

• Motor case ground
• Motor

The noise occurs constantly, not just under certain conditions.

• Rear defogger coil malfunction
• Open circuit in printed heater
• Poor ground of antenna feeder line

A cracking or snapping sound occurs while the vehicle is being driven, especially when 
it is vibrating excessively.

• Ground wire of body parts
• Ground due to improper part installation
• Wiring connections or a short circuit

Symptom

Cause and Counter measure

waves; such as in a tunnel, in an underground parking garage, 
near a tall building or in a mountainous area.

• The cellular phone is locked to prevent it from being dialed.
NOTE:

Symptom

Cause

Remedy

No route is shown.

No road to be searched is found around the des-
tination.

Find wider road (orange road or wider) near-
by and reset the destination and passing 
points onto it. Take care of the traveling direc-
tion when there are separate up and down 
roads.

Starting point and the destination are too close.

Set the destination at more distant point.

Conditional traffic regulation (day of the week/
time of the day) is set at the area around the cur-
rent location or the destination.

Turn the time-regulating search conditions 
OFF. Turn “Avoid regulation time” in the 
search conditions OFF.

Indicated route is intermittent.

In some areas, highways (gray routes) are not 

used for the search

(Note)

Therefore, the route to 

the current location or the passing points may be 
intermittent.

System is not malfunctioning.

When the vehicle has passed the 
recommended route, it is deleted 
from the screen.

A recommended route is controlled by each sec-
tion. When the vehicle has passed the passing 
point 1, then the map data from the starting point 
up to the passing point 1 will be deleted. (The data 
may remain undeleted in some area.)

System is not malfunctioning.

Detouring route is recommended.

In some areas, highways (gray routes) are not 
used for the search. (Note). Therefore, detour 
route may be recommended.

Set the route closer to the basic route (gray 
route).

A detour route may be shown when some traffic 
regulation (one-way traffic, etc.) is set at the area 
around the starting point or the destination.

Slightly move the starting point or the destina-
tion, or set the passing point on the route of 
your choice.

In the area where highways (gray routes) are 
used for the search, left turn has priority around 
the current location and the destination (passing 
points). For this reason, the recommended route 
may be detouring.

System is not malfunctioning.

Landmarks on the map do not 
match the actual ones.

This can be happen due to omission or error in 
the map data.

As a rule, an updated map DVD-ROM will be 
released once a year. Wait until the latest 
map has become available.

Recommended route is far from 
the starting point, passing points, 
and destination.

Starting point, passing points, and destination of 
the route guide were set far from the desired 
points because route searching data around 
these area were not stored.

Reset the destination onto the road nearby. If 
this road is one of the highways (gray routes), 
an ordinary road nearby may be displayed as 
the recommended route.

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION

Vehicle's travel amount is calculated by reading its travel distance and turning angle. Therefore, if the vehicle
is driven in the following manner, an error will occur in the vehicle's current location display. If correct location
has not been restored after driving the vehicle for a while, perform location correction.

Road config-
uration

Y–intersections

At a Y intersection or similar gradual divi-
sion of roads, an error in the direction of 
travel deduced by the sensor may result in 
the current-location mark appearing on the 
wrong road.

If after travelling about 10 km (6 
miles) the correct location has 
not been restored, perform lo-
cation correction and, if neces-
sary, direction correction.

Spiral roads

When driving on a large, continuous spiral 
road (such as loop bridge), turning angle 
error is accumulated and the vehicle mark 
may deviate from the correct location.

Straight roads

When driving on a long, straight road and 
slow curve without stopping, map-matching 
does not work effectively enough and dis-
tance errors may accumulate. As a result, 
the vehicle mark may deviate from the cor-
rect location when the vehicle is turned at a 
corner.

Zigzag roads

When driving on a zigzag road, the map 
may be matched to other roads in the simi-
lar direction nearby at every turn, and the 
vehicle mark may deviate from the correct 
location.

Roads laid out in a grid pattern

When driving where roads are laid out in a 
grid pattern, or where many roads are run-
ning in the similar direction nearby, the map 
may be matched to them by mistake and 
the vehicle mark may deviate from the cor-
rect location.

Parallel roads

When two roads are running in parallel 
(such as highway and sideway), the map 
may be matched to the other road by mis-
take and the vehicle mark may deviate from 
the correct location.

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION

Place

In a parking lot

When driving in a parking lot, or other loca-
tion where there are no roads on the map, 
matching may place the vehicle mark on a 
nearby road. When the vehicle returns to 
the road, the vehicle mark may have devi-
ated from the correct location.
When driving in circle or turning the steer-
ing wheel repeatedly, direction errors accu-
mulate, and the vehicle mark may deviate 
from the correct location.

If after travelling about 10 km (6 
miles) the correct location has 
not been restored, perform lo-
cation correction and, if neces-
sary, direction correction.

Turntable

When the ignition switch is OFF, the navi-
gation system cannot get the signal from 
the gyroscope (angular speed sensor). 
Therefore, the displayed direction may be 
wrong and the correct road may not be eas-
ily returned to after rotating the vehicle on a 
turntable with the ignition OFF.

Slippery roads

On snow, wet roads, gravel, or other roads 
where tires may slip easily, accumulated 
mileage errors may cause the vehicle mark 
to deviate from the correct road.

Slopes

When parking in sloped garages, when 
travelling on banked roads, or in other cas-
es where the vehicle turns when tilted, an 
error in the turning angle will occur, and the 
vehicle mark may deviate from the road.

Map data

Road not displayed on the map screen

When driving on new roads or other roads 
not displayed on the map screen, map 
matching does not function correctly and 
matches the location to a nearby road. 
When the vehicle returns to a road which is 
on the map, the vehicle mark may deviate 
from the correct road.

Different road pattern
(Changed due to repair)

If the road pattern stored in the map data 
and the actual road pattern are different, 
map matching does not function correctly 
and matches the location to a nearby road. 
The vehicle mark may deviate from the cor-
rect road.

Vehicle

Use of tire chains

When tire chains are used, the mileage is 
not correctly detected, and the vehicle mark 
may deviate from the correct road.

Drive the vehicle for a while. If 
the distance still deviates, ad-
just it by using the distance ad-
justment function. (If the tire 
chain is removed, recover the 
original value.)
