Cause (Condition)
Non-stop continuous driving.
ENTERTAINMENT
Driving condition
• If driving on a new road not registered in
the map data, the navigation system may
incorrectly match the vehicle's position
with a nearby road and when the vehicle
returns to a road available in the map data,
the vehicle locator mark may be off the
correct road.
• If the road registered in the map data and
the actual road configuration differ, the
vehicle locator mark may be off the correct
road.
• For regions where there is no detailed
map, the navigation system compares
regions where there are detailed maps and
configuration is sometimes not expressed
correctly. Also, because few minor roads
are registered, when the vehicle drives on
a road not available in the map data, the
vehicle locator mark may go off the correct
road.
• If the vehicle has tire chains, the distance
travelled is not correctly detected and the
vehicle locator mark may go off the correct
road.
• If the vehicle moves a long distance
continuously without stopping, the vehicle
locator mark may go off the correct road.
• If the vehicle moves erratically, for example
spinning wheels, the vehicle locator mark
may go off the correct road.
Remarks (Solution etc.)
• If the vehicle locator mark
does not return to the correct
position within approx. 10 km
{6.2 mile} of driving, move
the vehicle's position
manually.
• If the distance remains
incorrect even after driving
for a while, execute
"Calibration."
• Stop for a moment and
correct the vehicle's position
and movement orientation.
• If the vehicle mark does not
return to the correct position
within approx. 10 km {6.2
mile} of driving, move the
vehicle's position manually.
