If you have problems operating your Navigation System, refer to this section. The most common prob-
lems are listed below, along with likely causes and solutions. While this list is not comprehensive, it
should answer your most common problems. If a solution to your problem cannot be found here, con-

Problems in the navigation screen

Symptom
Power doesn't turn on.
The unit doesn't operate.
There's no sound.

Cause
Leads and connectors are incorrectly
connected.
The fuse is blown.
Noise and other factors are causing
the built-in microprocessor to oper-
ate incorrectly.
The volume level is low. Adjust the
volume level.
This unit confirms whether a disc is
loaded or not.
The quality of signals from the GPS
satellites is poor, causing reduced
positioning accuracy. Such a loss of
signal quality may happen for the fol-
lowing reasons:
•The GPS antenna is in an unsuita-
ble location.
•Obstacles are blocking signals from
the satellites.
•The position of satellites relative to
your vehicle is bad.
•Signals from the GPS satellites
have been modified to reduce accu-
racy. (GPS satellites are operated by
the US Department of Defense, and
the US government reserves the right
to distort positioning data for military
reasons. This may lead to greater
positioning errors.)
•If a vehicle phone or cellular phone
is used near the GPS antenna, GPS
reception may be lost temporarily.
•Do not cover the GPS antenna with
spray paint or vehicle wax, because
this may block the reception of GPS
signals. Snow buildup can also
degrade the signals.
Signals from the vehicle's speed
pulse are not being picked up prop-
erly.
The navigation unit may not be
mounted securely in your vehicle.
Action (See)
Confirm once more that all connec-
tions are correct.
Rectify the reason for the fuse blow-
ing, then replace the fuse. Be very
sure to install the correct fuse with
the same rate.
➞
Press RESET button. ( "HardWare
Manual" and refer to page 114 in this
manual.)
The attenuator is on. Turn the attenu-
ator off.
This is a normal operation.
Check the GPS signal reception (
Page 61) and the position of the GPS
antenna if necessary, or continue
driving until reception improves.
Keep the antenna clear.
Check that the cables are properly
connected. If necessary, consult the
dealer that installed the system.
Check that the navigation unit is
securely mounted and, if necessary,
consult the dealer that installed the
system.
