System Description [08/2016 - 08/2017]

NAVIGATION SYSTEM OUTLINE

Vehicle position tracking methods:

It is essential that the navigation system correctly tracks the current vehicle position and displays it on the map. There are 2 methods to track the current vehicle position: autonomous (dead reckoning) and GPS* (satellite) navigation. Both navigation methods are used in conjunction with each other.

*: GPS (Global Positioning System)

Operation	Description
Vehicle Position Calculation	The multi-media module receiver assembly calculates the current vehicle position (direction and current position) using the direction deviation signal from the gyro sensor and driving distance signal from the vehicle speed sensor and creates the driving route.
Map Display Processing	The multi-media module receiver assembly processes the vehicle position data, vehicle driving track and map data from the SD card.
Map Matching	The map data from the SD card is compared to the vehicle position and driving track data. Then, the vehicle position is matched with the nearest road.
GPS Correction	The vehicle position is matched to the position measured by the GPS. Then, the GPS measurement position data is compared with the vehicle position and driving track data. If the position is very different, the GPS measurement position is used.
Distance Correction	The vehicle speed signal includes the error caused by tire wear and slippage between the tires and road surface. Distance correction is performed to account for this. The multi-media module receiver assembly automatically offsets the signal to make up for the difference between it and the distance data of the map. The offset is automatically updated.

HINT:

The combination of autonomous and GPS navigation makes it possible to display the vehicle position even when the vehicle is in places where GPS signals cannot be received. When only autonomous navigation is used, however, the mapping accuracy may slightly decrease.

Autonomous navigation
This method determines the relative vehicle position based on the driving track determined by the gyro located in the multi-media module receiver assembly and the vehicle speed signal.
1. Gyro sensor
  Used to calculate the direction by detecting angular velocity. It is located in the multi-media module receiver assembly.
2. Vehicle speed signal
  Used to calculate the vehicle driving distance.

GPS^* navigation (Satellite navigation)

This method detects the absolute vehicle position using radio waves from GPS satellites.

*: GPS satellites were launched by the U.S. Department of Defense for military purposes.

Number of Satellites	Measurement	Description
2 or less	Measurement is impossible	Vehicle position cannot be obtained because the number of satellites is not enough.
3	2-dimensional measurement is possible	Vehicle position is obtained based on the current longitude and latitude. (This is less precise than 3-dimensional measurement.)
4	3-dimensional measurement is possible	Vehicle position is obtained based on the current longitude, latitude and altitude.

Map matching
The current driving route is calculated by autonomous navigation (according to the gyro sensor and vehicle speed signal) and GPS navigation. This information is then compared with possible road shapes from the map data in the SD card and the vehicle position is set onto the most appropriate road.

Touch switch
Touch switches are touch-sensitive (interactive) switches operated by touching the screen. When a switch is pressed, the outer film bends in to contact the inner glass at the pressed position. By doing this, the voltage ratio is measured and the pressed position is detected.

DISC PLAYER OUTLINE
1. A disc player uses a laser pickup to read digital signals recorded on a disc. By converting the digital signals to analog, it can play music, video and audio.
  WARNING:
  Do not look directly at the laser pickup because the disc player uses an invisible laser beam. Be sure to operate the player only as instructed.
  NOTE:
  - Do not disassemble any part of the disc player.
  - Do not apply oil to the disc player.
  - Do not insert anything but a disc into the disc player.
2. This player can play only audio CDs, CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) that have any of the following marks:

6. Precautions for use of discs
  NOTE:
  - CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-Re-Writable) may not be played depending on the recording conditions or characteristics of the discs, or due to damage, dirt or deterioration caused by leaving the discs in the cabin for a long time.
  - Unfinalized CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-Re-Writable) cannot be played.
  - CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-Re-Writable) are more easily affected by a hot and humid environment than discs used for normal audio CDs. For this reason, some CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not play.
  - If there are fingerprints or scratches on a disc, the disc may not play or the disc may skip.
  - Some CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-Re-Writable) may deteriorate if they are left in the cabin for a long time.
  - Keep CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-Re-Writable) in an opaque case.
  - SECAM color television standard discs cannot be played.
  - Dual Discs that mate DVD recorded material on one side with CD digital audio material on the other cannot be played.
  - Keep the discs away from dirt. Be careful not to damage the discs or leave fingerprints on them.
  - Hold discs by the outer edge and center hole with the label side up.
  - Leaving the disc exposed halfway out of the slot for a long time after pressing the disc eject button may cause deformation of the disc, making the disc unusable.
  - If discs have adhesive tape, stickers, disc labels or any traces of such labels attached, the discs may not be ejected or player malfunctions may result.
  - Keep the discs away from direct sunlight. (Exposure to direct sunlight may cause deformation of the disc, making the disc unusable.)
  - Do not use odd-shaped discs because these may cause player malfunctions.
  - Do not use discs whose recording portion is transparent or translucent because they may not be inserted, ejected or played normally.
  - Use only 4.7 in. (12 cm) discs.
  - Do not use 3 in. (8 cm) CDs either with or without adaptors.
  HINT:
  - When it is cold or raining, if the windows fog up, mist and condensation may form in the player. In such cases, the disc may skip or stop in the middle of play. Ventilate or dehumidify the cabin for a while before using the player.
  - The disc may skip if the player experiences strong vibrations when the vehicle is driven on rough roads or similar uneven surfaces.
7. Cleaning

  NOTE:
  Do not use a lens cleaner because it may cause a malfunction in the pickup portion of the player.
  1. If dirt is on the disc surface, wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth such as an eyeglass cleaner for plastic lenses from the inside to the outside in a radial direction.
    NOTE:
    Pressing on the disc by hand or rubbing the disc with a hard cloth may scratch the disc surface.
    
    Use of solvents such as record spray, antistatic agents, alcohol, benzine, thinners or a chemical cloth may cause damage to the disc, making the disc unusable.

COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

MOST Network Outline

Navigation system components communicate with each other via the MOST network.
The MOST network uses a shielded twisted pair of wires for its communication lines.
The master unit of the MOST network is the multi-media module receiver assembly.
MOST communication lines connect each slave unit centering around the master unit to form a MOST network ring.
The master unit sends a wake-up signal to activate each slave unit connected to the MOST network.
