Certain functions (such as viewing of Appbased visual content and certain touch panel
key operations) offered by this product could
be dangerous and/or unlawful if used while

described above while driving, they will become disabled until you stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and apply the handbrake. Please
keep the brake pedal pushed down before releasing the handbrake.
Protecting the LCD panel

Setting rear view camera
Chapter
07
The following two functions are available. The
rear view camera feature requires a separately
sold rear view camera (e.g. ND-BC4). (For details, consult your dealer.)
Rear view camera
This product features a function that automatically switches to the full-screen image of the
rear view camera installed on your vehicle.
When the gearstick is in the REVERSE (R) position, the screen automatically switches to
full-screen rear view camera image.
Camera for Rear view mode
Rear view can be displayed at all times (e.g.
when monitoring an attached trailer, etc.).
Please be aware that with this setting, camera
image is not resized to fit, and that a portion of
what is seen by the camera is not viewable.
CAUTION
Check to make sure settings for rear view camera
displays a mirror reversed image.
p Immediately verify whether the display
changes to a rear view camera image when
the gearstick is moved to REVERSE (R)
from another position.
p When the screen changes to full-screen
rear view camera image during normal
driving, switch to the opposite setting in
“Rear Camera”.

Select “Normal(GND)” in the following
case:
! When the rear view camera is con-

image.
! When the polarity of the connected lead
is negative while the gearstick is in the
REVERSE (R) position
! Mirror:
Displays the rear view camera image in mirror reverse.
Select “Mirror” in the following case:

Recalling equaliser curves
There are seven stored equaliser curves that
you can easily recall at any time. Here is a list
of the equaliser curves:
Equaliser curve
S.Bass (Super Bass) is a curve in which only lowpitched sound is boosted.
Powerful is a curve in which low-pitched and highpitched sounds are boosted.
Natural is a curve in which low-pitched and highpitched sounds are slightly boosted.
Vocal is a curve in which the midrange, which is the
human vocal range, is boosted.
Flat is a flat curve in which nothing is boosted.
Custom1 is an adjusted equaliser curve that you cre-
ate. A separate custom curve can be created for each
source.
Custom2 is an adjusted equaliser curve that you create. If you select this curve, the effect is applied to all
audio sources.
p When “Flat” is selected, no supplement or

correction is made to the sound. This is
useful to check the effect of the equaliser
curves by switching alternatively between

Positioning technology
Positioning by GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses a
network of satellites orbiting the Earth. Each
of the satellites, which orbit at a height of
21 000 km, continually broadcasts radio signals giving time and position information. This
ensures that signals from at least three can be
picked up from any open area on the earth’s
surface.
The accuracy of the GPS information depends
on how good the reception is. When the signals are strong and reception is good, GPS
can determine latitude, longitude and altitude
for accurate positioning in three dimensions.
But if signal quality is poor, only two dimensions, latitude and longitude, can be obtained
and positioning errors are somewhat greater.
Handling large errors
Positioning errors are kept to a minimum by
combining GPS, dead reckoning and map
matching. However, in some situations, these
functions may not work properly, and the error
may become bigger.
When positioning by GPS is
impossible
! GPS positioning is disabled if signals can-
not be received from more than two GPS
satellites.
! In some driving conditions, signals from
GPS satellites may not reach your vehicle.
In this case, it is impossible for the system
to use GPS positioning.
In tunnels or enclosed parking
garages
When driving
among high buildings
Under elevated
roads or similar
structures
When driving through
a dense forest or tall
trees
! If a car phone or mobile phone is used near
the GPS aerial, GPS reception may be lost
temporarily.
! Do not cover the GPS aerial with spray
paint or car wax, because this may block
the reception of GPS signals. Snow buildup
can also degrade the signals, so keep the
aerial clear.
p If a GPS signal has not been received for a
long time, your vehicle’s actual position
and the current position mark on the map
may diverge considerably or may not be updated. In such case, once GPS reception is
restored, accuracy will be recovered.
Conditions likely to cause
noticeable positioning errors
For various reasons, such as the state of the
road you are travelling on and the reception
status of the GPS signal, the actual position of
your vehicle may differ from the position displayed on the map screen.
