LOCATION CORRECTION”.

2.

Correct direction of the vehicle mark.

3.

Perform the distance correction of the "CONFIRMATION/ADJUSTMENT" mode.
Note: Normally, adjustment is not necessary because this system has automatic distance correction func-
tion. However, when a tire chain is fitted, adjustment in accordance with the tire diameter ratio must be
made.

4.

AV-150, "Example of Symptoms Judged Not Malfunction"

   after driv-

ing the vehicle?

YES or NO

YES

2. 

DRIVING TEST 2

Did any malfunction occur when the proper test in the following test patterns is performed?

Test pattern
Driving test finds the difference between the symptoms monitored with and without each sensor.

Test pattern 1: Test method with no GPS location correction
Disconnect GPS antenna connector connected to the NAVI control unit. Accurately adjust the current
location and the direction, then drive the vehicle.

Test pattern 2: Test method with no map-matching
Accurately adjust the current location and the direction. Eject the map DVD-ROM from the NAVI control
unit with ignition switch turned to OFF, then drive the vehicle. After driving, insert the map DVD-ROM back
in the unit, display the track of the vehicle on the map screen and compare it with the actual road configu-
ration.

Sample tests

<To determine if the current-location mark skips at the same position, if so, whether it is caused by map-
matching or by GPS>
Perform test pattern 1.

<To determine if the pattern of streets displayed is correct or not>
Perform test pattern 1 & 2.
Compare the track of the vehicle on the map screen and the actual road configuration. For fairly accurate
tracking, plotting shall be made every several hundred meters (feet).

<When the distance is adjusted accurately>
Perform test pattern 1 & 2.
Drive on a road of which distance is accurately known (by utilizing distance posts on a highway). Calculate
the rate of change (increased/decreased) of the distance by comparing with the actual distance.
Correction = A/B
A: Distance shown on the screen
B: Actual distance

YES or NO

YES

>>

If adjustment is insufficient, perform adjustment again.

If any error is found in the map, please contact map data supplier. Refer to Navigation System
Owner's Manual for contact information.

Replace NAVI control unit. Refer to 

AV-159, "NAVI CONTROL UNIT"

Map screen and BIRDVIEW™ 
Name of the place varies with the 
screen.

Some thinning of the character data is done to 
prevent the display becoming to complex. In 
some cases and in some locations, the display 
contents may differ.
The same place name, street name, etc. may not 
be displayed every time on account of the data 
processing.

System is not malfunctioning.

ellite signal receiving condition.

Screen will not switch to nighttime 
mode after the lighting switch is 
turned ON.

The daytime screen is selected by the “SWITCH 
SCREENS” when the last time the screen dim-
ming setting is done.
Switching between daytime/nighttime screen may 
be inhibited by the automatic illumination adjust-
ment function.

Perform screen dimming and select the 
nighttime screen by “SWITCH SCREENS”.

mark) on the map screen stays 
gray.

GPS satellite signal is intercepted because the 
vehicle is in or behind a building.

Move the vehicle out to an open space.

GPS satellite signal cannot be received because 
an obstacle is placed on top of the instrument 
panel.

Do not place anything in the center on top of 
the display.

GPS satellites are not visible from current loca-
tion.

map screen stays gray.

Current location is not determined.

Vehicle speed setting by the vehicle speed pulse 
has been deviated (advanced or retarded) from 
the actual vehicle speed because tire chain is fit-
ted or the system has been used on another vehi-
cle.

Drive the vehicle for a while [for approx. 30 
minutes at approx. 30 km/h (19 MPH)] and 
the deviation will be automatically adjusted. 
If advancement or retard still occur, perform 
the distance adjustment by CONFIRMA-
TION/ADJUSTMENT mode of diagnosis 
function.

ROUTE SEARCH 

NOTE:
Except for the ordinance-designated cities. (Malfunctioning areas may be changed in the updated map disc.)

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) 
nearby and reset the destination and passing 
points onto it. Take care of the traveling 
direction 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 areas.)

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 desti-
nation, 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 dis-
played as the recommended route.

EXAMPLES OF CURRENT-LOCATION MARK DISPLACEMENT 

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.

Driving condition

Remarks (correction, etc.)

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 
location correction and, if nec-
essary, 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-match-
ing does not work effectively enough and 
distance errors may accumulate. As a 
result, the vehicle mark may deviate from 
the correct 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 
correct 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.
