SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. NAVIGATION SYSTEM OUTLINE

(a) Vehicle position tracking methods

It is essential that the navigation system correctly tracks the current vehicle position and displays it on the map. There are 2 methods to track the current vehicle position: autonomous (dead reckoning) and GPS* (satellite) navigation. Both navigation methods are used in conjunction with each other.

*: GPS (Global Positioning System)


Operation

Description

Vehicle Position Calculation

The navigation receiver assembly calculates the current vehicle position (direction and current position) using the direction deviation signal from the gyro sensor and driving distance signal calculated from the vehicle speed signal and creates the driving route.

Map Display Processing

The navigation receiver assembly processes the vehicle position data, vehicle driving track and map data from the SD card (disc player disc).

Map Matching

The map data from the SD card (disc player disc) is compared to the vehicle position and driving track data. Then, the vehicle position is matched with the nearest road.

GPS Correction

The vehicle position is matched to the position measured by the GPS. Then, the GPS measurement position data is compared with the vehicle position and driving track data. If the position is very different, the GPS measurement position is used.

Distance Correction

The vehicle speed signal includes errors caused by tire wear and slippage between the tires and road surface. Distance correction is performed to account for this. The navigation receiver assembly automatically offsets the signal to make up for the difference between it and the distance data of the map. The offset is automatically updated.


HINT:

The combination of autonomous and GPS navigation makes it possible to display the vehicle position even when the vehicle is in places where GPS signals cannot be received. When only autonomous navigation is used, however, the mapping accuracy may slightly decrease.

(b) Autonomous navigation

This method determines the relative vehicle position based on the driving track determined by the gyro sensor located in the navigation receiver assembly and the vehicle speed signal.

(1) Gyro sensor

Used to calculate the direction by detecting angular velocity. It is located in the navigation receiver assembly.

(2) Vehicle speed signal

Used to calculate the vehicle driving distance.

(c) GPS* navigation (Satellite navigation)

This method detects the absolute vehicle position using radio waves from GPS satellites.

*: GPS satellites were launched by the U.S. Department of Defense for military purposes.


Number of Satellites

Measurement

Description

2 or less

Measurement is impossible

Vehicle position cannot be obtained because the number of satellites is not enough.

3

2-dimensional measurement is possible

Vehicle position is obtained based on the current longitude and latitude. (This is less precise than 3-dimensional measurement.)

4

3-dimensional measurement is possible

Vehicle position is obtained based on the current longitude, latitude and altitude.

(d) Map matching

The current driving route is calculated by autonomous navigation (according to the gyro sensor and vehicle speed signal) and GPS navigation. This information is then compared with possible road shapes from the map data in the SD card (disc player disc) and the vehicle position is set onto the most appropriate road.


2. TOUCH SWITCH OUTLINE

(a) Touch switches are touch-sensitive (interactive) switches operated by touching the screen. When a switch is pressed, the outer film bends in to contact the inner glass at the pressed position. By doing this, the voltage ratio is measured and the pressed position is detected.


3. DISC PLAYER OUTLINE

(a) A disc player uses a laser pickup to read digital signals recorded on a disc. By converting the digital signals to analog, it can play music and audio.

CAUTION:

Do not look directly at the laser pickup because the disc player uses an invisible laser beam. Be sure to operate the player only as instructed.

NOTICE:

  • Do not disassemble any part of the disc player.
  • Do not apply oil to the disc player.
  • Do not insert anything but a disc into the disc player.

(b) This player can play only audio CDs, CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) that have any of the following marks:


(c) The following products may not be playable on your player.

  • SACD
  • dts CD
  • Copy-protected CD

(d) Precautions for use of discs

NOTICE:

  • CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not be played depending on the recording conditions or characteristics of the discs, or due to damage, dirt or deterioration caused by leaving the discs in the cabin for a long time.
  • Unfinalized CD-Rs and CD-RWs cannot be played.
  • CD-Rs and CD-RWs are more easily affected by a hot and humid environment than discs used for normal audio CDs. For this reason, some CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not be played.
  • If there are fingerprints or scratches on a disc, the disc may not be played or the disc may skip.
  • Some CD-Rs and CD-RWs may deteriorate if they are left in the cabin for a long time.
  • Keep CD-Rs and CD-RWs in an opaque case.
  • DualDiscs that mate DVD recorded material on one side with CD digital audio material on the other cannot be played.
  • Keep discs away from dirt. Be careful not to damage discs or leave fingerprints on them.
  • Hold discs by the outer edge and center hole with the label side up.
  • Leaving a disc exposed halfway out of the slot for a long time after pressing the disc eject button may cause deformation of the disc, making the disc unusable.
  • If discs have adhesive tape, stickers, disc labels or any traces of such labels attached, the discs may not be ejected or player malfunctions may result.
  • Keep discs away from direct sunlight. (Exposure to direct sunlight may cause deformation of a disc, making the disc unusable.)
  • Do not use odd-shaped discs because these may cause player malfunctions.
  • Do not use discs whose recording portion is transparent or translucent because they may not be inserted, ejected or played normally.
  • Use only 4.7 in. (12 cm) discs.
  • Do not use 3 in. (8 cm) discs either with or without adaptors.

HINT:

  • When it is cold or raining, if the windows fog up, mist and condensation may form in the player. In such cases, a disc may skip or stop in the middle of play. Ventilate or dehumidify the cabin for a while before using the player.
  • A disc may skip if the player experiences strong vibrations when the vehicle is driven on rough roads or similar uneven surfaces.

(e) Cleaning


NOTICE:

Do not use a lens cleaner because it may cause a malfunction in the pickup portion of the player.

(1) If dirt is on the disc surface, wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth such as an eyeglass cleaner for plastic lenses from the inside to the outside in a radial direction.

NOTICE:

  • Pressing on the disc by hand or rubbing the disc with a hard cloth may scratch the disc surface.
  • Use of solvents such as record spray, antistatic agents, alcohol, benzine, thinners or a chemical cloth may cause damage to the disc, making the disc unusable.

7. RADIO DESCRIPTION

(a) Radio frequency band

(1) Radio broadcasts use the radio frequency bands shown in the table below.


(b) Service area

(1) The service areas of AM and FM broadcasts are vastly different. Sometimes an AM broadcast can be received very clearly but an FM stereo broadcast cannot. FM stereo has the smallest service area, and is prone to pick up static and other types of interference such as noise.

Text in Illustration

*a

FM (Stereo)

*b

FM (Monaural)

*c

AM

(c) Radio reception problems

HINT:

In addition to static, other problems such as "phasing", "multipath" and "fade out" exist. These problems are not caused by electrical noise, but by the radio signal propagation method itself.

(1) Phasing

AM broadcasts are susceptible to electrical interference and another kind of interference called phasing. Occurring only at night, phasing is the interference created when a vehicle receives 2 radio wave signals from the same transmitter. One signal is reflected off the ionosphere and the other signal is received directly from the transmitter.

Phasing

*b

Ionosphere

(2) Multipath

Multipath is a type of interference created when a vehicle receives 2 radio wave signals from the same transmitter. One signal is reflected off buildings or mountains and the other signal is received directly from the transmitter.

Text in Illustration

*a

Multipath

(3) Fade out

Fade out is caused by objects (buildings, mountains and other large obstructions) that deflect part of a signal, resulting in a weaker signal when the object is between the transmitter and vehicle. High frequency radio waves, such as FM broadcasts, are easily deflected by obstructions. Low frequency radio waves, such as AM broadcasts, are less likely to be deflected.

8. "HD Radio" FUNCTION OUTLINE (w/ "HD Radio" Function)

(a) The "HD Radio" system is a radio system that broadcasts in the IBOC (In-Band On-Channel) form that the iBiquity Co. has developed. By expanding the bandwidth per channel of conventional FM/AM bands, digital audio and data signals are additionally transmitted.

"HD Radio" technology is manufactured under license from iBiquity Digital Corporation. U.S. and Foreign Patents. "HD Radio" and the HD and "HD Radio" logos are proprietary trademarks of iBiquity Digital Corporation.

Information for the music currently being listened to is stored in the system and can be transmitted to an "iPod" connected to the system. The information transferred to the "iPod" can be used for purchasing the music through the "iTunes" music store.

Also, traffic and weather information can be received and displayed on the navigation screen.

9. SDARS SYSTEM FUNCTION OUTLINE (w/ SDARS System)

(a) Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) is a satellite digital radio broadcast provided by Sirius XM Radio Inc. The broadcast (pay-type) is performed through satellites and terrestrial repeater networks. Several unique channels are available, and even if a vehicle changes locations, the same information can be received without breaks. Information such as song names, broadcast station names, etc. can be received.

NOTICE:

To receive audio-visual pay-type broadcasts, the customer must enter into a pay-type contract with XM Satellite Radio Inc. After entering into a contract, registration of the XM Radio ID is necessary. Also, if parts are replaced, the XM Radio ID must be re-registered.
