NAVIGATION
Note:
The compass (accessed by pressing the
AUD
button for more than 2 seconds) always points north,
but the arrow when navigation is active always points
to the destination.
WHAT IS NAVIGATION?
The GPS antenna receives latitude and longitude sig-
nals from GPS satellites orbiting the earth. These sig-
nals give the navigation system an indication of the
vehicle location. Vehicle movement is measured by an
electronic signal related to the vehicle speed. A built-in
gyro sensor measures the vehicle rate of change of
steering angle. The navigation system uses all of these
signals to determine the current vehicle position rela-
tive to the digitized map stored on the navigation CDs.
The navigation system then determines the route to
the selected destination and provides instructions as
the vehicle moves toward the destination. For safety
56
reasons, route guidance is predominantly in spoken
form, supported by a direction indicator on the display.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• To avoide an accident, enter navigation instructions
only while the vehicle is stopped.
• Observation of traffic signs and local traffic regula-
tions must always take priority.
• Traffic guidance is restricted to passenger vehicles.
Special driving recommendations and regulations
for other vehicles, such as commercial vehicles, are
not included.
GPS Notes:
1. If the GPS antenna is located on the dashboard,
items placed on the dashboard could interfere with the
Global Positioning System.
2. Electronic equipment such as laptops, video games,
cellphones, etc. can interfere with the GPS.
