Press the TALK (or VOICE) button to activate voice operation.

Speak a command into the microphone.

Operating by only voice when the Navigation System is started

Turning on “Auto Voice Recognition” in the Settings menu allows all settings to be implemented by voice from after the engine is started and until the route is set (applies only if the route is not yet set).

❒ If you press the button on the Remote Control

Cars that Cannot Obtain Speed Pulse Data

❒ The speed pulse data comes from the speed

sensing circuit. The location of this speed sensing circuit depends on your car model. In some cases, it is impossible to make a connection to it, and in such a case we recommend that the ND-PG1 speed pulse generator (sold separately) be used.

Conditions Likely to Cause Noticeable Positioning Errors

For various reasons such as the state of the road you are traveling on and the state of reception of the GPS signal, the actual position of your car may differ from the position displayed on the map screen. Some types of car may not output a speed signal while driving at just a few kilometers per hour. In such a case, the current location of your car may not be displayed correctly while in a traffic jam or in a parking lot.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems operating your Navigation System, refer to this section. The most common problems 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, contact your dealer or the nearest authorized Pioneer service facility.

You cannot position your car on the map or the positioning error is large.

Possible causes:

(1) The quality of signals from the GPS satellites

is poor, causing reduced positioning accuracy. Such a loss of signal quality may happen for the following reasons:

•The GPS antenna is in an unsuitable location.

•Obstacles are blocking signals from the satellites.

•The position of satellites relative to your car is bad.

•Signals from the GPS satellites have been modified to reduce accuracy. (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 car 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 car wax, because this may block the reception of GPS signals. Snow buildup can also degrade the signals.

(2) Signals from the car’s speed pulse are not

being picked up properly.

(3) The main unit may not be mounted securely

in your car. (4) Your car is operating in Simple hybrid mode. (5) Setting of the Installation direction lever is

wrong. (6) Main unit is installed with an extreme angle

exceeding the limitation of the installation

angle. (7) Indication of the position of your car is mis-

aligned after a U-turn or reversing.

Appendix

Page 60

Solutions:

(1) Check the GPS signal reception (➞ Page 44)

and the position of the GPS antenna if necessary, or continue driving until reception improves. Keep the antenna clear.

(2) Check that the cables are properly con-

nected. If necessary, consult the dealer that installed the system.

(3) Check that the main unit is securely

mounted and, if necessary, consult the dealer that installed the system.

(4) Connect the speed signal input (pink lead

wire) of the power cable correctly, and reset the 3D Hybrid Sensor (“Learning Status”).

(5) Check the installation position of the main

unit of your Navigation System and the setting of the Installation direction lever (➞ “Installation Manual”).

(6) Confirm the installation angle. (This unit

must be installed within +30 degrees to –15 degrees of the horizontal, or within five degrees of your car’s direction of travel.)

(7) Check whether or not the reverse gear signal

input lead (purple) is connected properly. (The Navigation System works properly without the lead connected, but positioning accuracy will be adversely affected.)

The map continually reorients itself.

Possible causes:

The display is set to “Heading Up”.

Solutions:

Check the settings (➞ Page 22) and change the setting to “North Up”.

Tracking marks are not displayed.

Possible causes: The “Tracking Display” is turned off.

Solutions:

Appendix

Check the “Tracking Display” settings (➞ Page 47) and make sure “Always” or “This

Trip” is selected.

Solutions:

Check with your dealer.

The display is very dim.

Possible causes: (1) The car’s light is turned ON, and “Night-

time” is selected on “Day/Night Display”.

(2) The car cabin temperature is extremely low.

Solutions:

(1) Read about the “Day/Night Display” set-

ting (➞ Page 46) and, if desired, select “Day- time”.

(2) A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is used, and

such displays tend to darken when cold. Wait for the car to warm up.

There is no voice guidance or the volume is low.

Possible causes:

The volume setting is low.

Solutions:

Check the volume setting on the display or turn the volume up according to “Hardware Vol- ume” (➞ Page 46) and/or turn up the volume on the display.

Page 61

The Remote Control fails to work.

Possible causes:

(1) The batteries are low. (2) The batteries have been inserted incorrectly. (3) The Remote Control is pointing at the floor or

a seat.

(4) The signal receptor on the display is exposed

to direct sunlight.

Solutions:

(1) Change the batteries. (2) Check that the batteries are properly inserted

according to the + and – markings.

(3) Ensure that the Remote Control has a clear

line of sight to the display unit.

Route search specifications

Your Navigation System sets a route to your destination by applying certain built-in rules to the map data. This section provides some useful information about how a route is set.

Caution

When a route is calculated, the route and voice guidance for the route is automatically set. Also, for day or time traffic regulations, only information about traffic regulations at the time when the route was calculated is shown. For example, if a street is open during the morning only, but you arrive later, it would be against the traffic regulations so you cannot drive along the set route. When driving, please follow the actual traffic signs. Also, the system may not know some traffic regulations.

About the route condition

When the calculation of only one route is set, you can search a route option by combining the following conditions.

➲ How to set the calculation conditions ➞

Page 29 For example, when “Shortest” and “Avoid Free- way” (“On”) are combined, the route, which avoids freeway, and has the shortest travel time, will be calculated and displayed on the screen.

Condition 1 :whether to put priority on the distance, or time

Shortest :

Calculate a route with the shortest distance to your destination as a priority.

Fastest :

Calculate a route with the shortest travel time to your destination as a priority.

Appendix

Page 64

Condition 2 :whether to use freeway or not

Avoid Freeway :

Calculate a route that avoids freeway. (A route using the freeway may be set if your destination is far away.)

• The system assumes the driver deviated either intentionally or inadvertently from the route and searches for another route (intelligent rerouting). Depending on the situation, the system may search a new route that does not return to the original one.

• The calculated route is one example of the route to your destination decided by the Navigation System whilst taking the type of streets or traffic regulations into account. It is not necessarily an optimum route. (In some cases, you may not be able to set the streets you want to pass. If you want to pass a certain street, set the way point on that street.)

• The route set by your Navigation System is based on the assumption that the driver does not know the area. Thus, the streets known to local drivers, such as small streets or special roads, may not be used for the set route.

• Some route options may become the same route. If visiting points are set, or the route is set by voice operation, only one route is calculated.

• Route setting is limited to the range of the disc in use.

• The destination is too far, there may be instances where the route cannot be set. (If you want to set a long-distance route going across several areas, set way points along the way.)

• During voice guidance, turns and junctions from the freeway are announced. However, if you pass junctions, turns, and other guide points in rapid succession, some may not be

Appendix

announced.

• It is possible that guidance may direct you off a freeway and then back on again.

• In some cases, the set route may require you to travel in the opposite direction to your current heading. In such cases, you are instructed to turn around, so please turn around safely by following the actual traffic rules.

• In some cases, guidance may direct you past your destination and then indicate a U-turn to get back to it.

• In some cases, a route may begin on the opposite side of a railway or river from your actual current location. If this happens, drive towards your destination for a while, and try route calculation again.

• In the following cases, the route that passes through an Area to Avoid may be set:

- when your car is in the Area to Avoid

- when your destination or way points are in

the Area to Avoid

- when it is not possible to avoid doing so

• If a suitable route cannot be set in compliance with the specified “Detour” distance, or your preference to avoid freeways, toll roads, ferry route, the setting or parameter may be ignored.

• There may be instances when the starting point and the destination point are not on the highlighted route.

• The number of roundabout exits displayed on the screen may differ from the actual number of roads.

•“Auto Reroute” function does not work in the following cases:

- when your car is not on a street

- when your car is on a ferry

- when driving on a road inside a facility

- when driving on a roundabout

Route highlighting

• Once set, the route is highlighted in bright green on the map.

• The immediate vicinity of your starting point and destination may not be highlighted, and neither will areas with particularly complex road layouts. Consequently, the route may appear to be cut off on the display, but voice guidance will continue.

Intersection enlargement

• When “Close-up of Junction” is on, the map scale increases to show more detail as you approach an intersection.

• If the intersection is approached in a gentle curve, the map displayed may differ from the actual road layout.

Page 65

Tracking

• Your Navigation System marks your course on the map in certain increments. This is called tracking. It is handy when you want to check a route traveled without guidance or if returning along a complex route.

• A maximum of about 145 miles (230 km) is marked and, as you travel beyond this limit, tracking marks are erased in order from the most distant. Tracking display shows about 200km tracking of your car with a white dots. When your car speed is under 3mile/h (5km/h), the dots are red. When your car speed is more than 3mile/h (5km/h), but less than 12mile/h (20km/h), tracking shows in orange dots.

➲ Tracking can also be set for automatic erasing

whenever the Navigation System is switched off ➞ Page 47
