CHECK SYSTEM NORMAL CONDITION

If the symptom is applicable to any of the following, it is intended behavior, and not a malfunction.

PROBLEM SYMPTOM CHART

Symptom	Answer
A longer route than expected is chosen.	Depending on road conditions, navigation ECU may determine that a longer route is quicker.
Even when distance priority is high, shortest route is not shown.	Some paths may not be advised due to safety concerns.
When vehicle is put into motion immediately after engine starts, navigation system deviates from actual position.	If the vehicle is moved before the navigation system activates, system may not react.
When running on certain types of roads, especially new roads, vehicle position deviates from actual position.	When vehicle is driving on new roads not available on map disc, system attempts to match it to another nearby road, causing position mark to deviate.

The following symptoms are not a malfunction, but are caused by errors inherent in the GPS, gyro sensor, speed sensor, and navigation ECU.
1. The current position mark may be displayed on a nearby parallel road.

4. When the vehicle is carried, such as on a ferry, and the vehicle itself is not running, the current vehicle position mark may be displayed in the position where the vehicle was until a measurement can be performed by the GPS.

5. When the vehicle runs on a steep hill, the current vehicle position mark may deviate from the correct position.

6. When the vehicle makes a continuous turn of 360, 720, 1,080, etc. degrees, the current vehicle position mark may deviate from the correct position.

7. When the vehicle moves erratically, such as constant lane changes, the current vehicle position mark may deviate from the correct position.

8. When the turn the ignition switch ACC or OFF position on a turn table before parking, the current vehicle position mark may not point in the correct direction. The same will occur when the vehicle comes out of parking.

9. When the vehicle is running on a snowy road, on a mountain path with the chains installed, or with a spare tire, the current vehicle position mark may deviate from the correct position.

10. When a tire is changed, the current vehicle position mark may deviate from the correct position.
  HINT:
  - The diameter of the tire may change, causing a speed sensor error.
  - Performing the tire change in calibration mode will allow the system to correct the current vehicle position faster.
