safe place, and (1) apply the parking brake, (2)
release the parking brake, and then (3) apply
the parking brake again. Please keep the
brake pedal pushed down before releasing the
parking brake.

Setting rear view camera

Chapter

08

The following two functions are available. The
rear view camera feature requires a separately
sold rear view camera (e.g. ND-BC 4). (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 shift lever 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 shift lever 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”.

Recalling equalizer curves

There are seven stored equalizer curves that
you can easily recall at any time. Here is a list
of the equalizer curves:

Equalizer 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 equalizer curve that you cre-

ate. A separate custom curve can be created for each
source.

Custom2 is an adjusted equalizer curve that you cre­ate. If you select this curve, the effect is reflected all
audio source.

p When “Flat” is selected, no supplement or

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
68 900 000 feet (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 ground’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 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, so keep the
antenna 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 traveling 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.
