1. Attention
It is not a system failure under
the circumstances listed below:
Situations that can affect the GPS
positioning:
Sometimes, when you are
driving on the motorway/viaduct,
the floating point swings.
When you are driving on a very
steep road.
When you are driving on spiral
road, you will find that the
floating point swings. It is
nothing to do with the radius of
the road and the driving speed
of your vehicle. One reason
might be that the real road
condition may differ from the
information on the
electronic map.
When you make a right/left turn
to enter a road that has parallel
roads nearby (less than 50 m
distance), you might find that the
floating point may go to
another road.
When driving on a wide road in a
snaky line, you may experience
that the floating point swings due
to the mismatch of real distance.
Before returning to ground level
road after you have been driving
in an underground car park or
the spiral path of the multi-level
car park, you will find that the
floating point may swing. When
your car is in a rotary elevator,
the arrow of the floating point
may not point to the right
direction.
Providing voice prompt at a
branching path ahead.
The guided distance may
deviate from the actual
distance rate.
When any of those situations
occurs, the GPS satellite will
automatically adjust the current
position fix if you keep driving.

Infotainment System
Problems caused by map files:
When you return from a road
which is newly constructed to a
road recorded in map file, you
may find floating point swings
because the map file may not
reflect the real road conditions.
After you have driven for a while,
the system will adjust to the right
position using GPS signal
information
No through way due to road
closure or pedestrian path
Opening of a new road and
closure of old road;
Guide to a no-through road;
Route re-computed again
without changing the proposed
route;
Guide to a normal road instead
of a viaduct, or vice versa;
If there are only small lanes
without a normal road near the
destination, the system will only
guide you to a place near to your
destination;
