Vehicles that Cannot Obtain  
Speed Pulse Data  
When the system is combined with the Pioneer  
AV Head Unit or AV System Display, if you use  
the built-in DVD player to play a DVD-Video or CD  
when using the NAVI Source, the operation but-  
tons are displayed on the screen and a few lim-  
ited operations can be performed.  
The speed pulse data comes from the speed  
sensing circuit. The location of this speed  
sensing circuit depends on your vehicle  
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.

Displaying the Map  
• Maps with a scale of between 0.02 mi and 0.25  
mi cannot be displayed. (If the scale was set to  
between 0.02 mi and 0.25 mi, it is automati-  
cally switched to 0.5 mi.)  
59  
           
• When driving with Guide View, Route View  
or Driver’s View, upon entering an unre-  
corded area the display automatically switches  
to Map View. (When the vehicle re-enters an  
area stored on the disc, the display returns to  
the previous map mode except for Driver’s  
View.)  
Route Information  
• If the set route goes through an unrecorded  
area, no route profile for the unrecorded area  
will be displayed. (If the set route traverses  
both an unrecorded area and area stored on  
the disc, only the route profile within the  
recorded area will be displayed.)  
• Route scrolling for an unrecorded area is pos-  
sible only with a map scale of 0.5 mi or above.  
Destination Search  
• You cannot search a destination in an unre-  
corded area using Address Search, POI  
Search, or Telephone Search. (In case of the  
POI search, only “City Center” search is possi-  
ble.)  
Other Function Limitations  
Overlay POI  
Overlay POI is not available in an unrecorded  
area.  
• If you cannot search in a currently selected  
zone, the system may forcibly switch to the  
zone selection screen.  
• A Freeway Search covers all areas, regard-  
less of the disc on which the information is  
recorded.  
• If a Vicinity Search is performed on the bor-  
der of an unrecorded area, the system will not  
necessarily select the nearest facility. (The  
search will take place only within the range of  
areas recorded on the disc.)  
Avoid Area  
• An area not stored on the disc cannot be set as  
an Area to Avoid.  
A set Area to Avoid may be deleted when the  
software is updated. If this happens, the sys-  
tem will automatically try to recover the  
deleted information, but data can be recov-  
ered only for areas stored on the disc. For  
items that could not be recovered, a recovery  
process will begin when you set another disc.  
Guidance  
• When your vehicle approaches an unrecorded  
area, you will be notified three times: when the  
distance to the unrecorded area is 12 mi (20  
km), 6 mi (10 km) and 3 mi (5 km) respectively.  
When your vehicle enters the unrecorded area,  
a caution is given.  
• In the unrecorded area, only guidance for  
reaching the destination is provided. No other  
guidance is given.  
• If a route calculation is operated within an  
unrecorded area, the route might not be set  
from the streets you are currently driving. Also,  
if you set the destination in an unrecorded  
area of the disc, the system may not be able to  
set the route up to the destination.  
• If the vehicle deviates from the set route in an  
unrecorded area, the Auto Reroute function  
will not work.  
• Even if “Close-up of Junction” is “ON”, the  
display will not switch to an enlarged map of  
the intersection.  
• The arrow indicating the traveling direction will  
not be displayed in the Audio screen.

Troubleshooting  
If you have problems operating your Navigation System, refer to this section. The most common prob-  
lems 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, con-  
tact your dealer or the nearest authorized Pioneer service facility.

You cannot position your vehicle on  
the map or the positioning error is  
large.  
The quality of signals from the GPS  
satellites is poor, causing reduced  
positioning accuracy. Such a loss of antenna if necessary, or continue  
signal quality may happen for the fol- driving until reception improves.  
Check the GPS signal reception (➞  
Page 45) and the position of the GPS  
lowing reasons:  
Keep the antenna clear.  
•The GPS antenna is in an unsuita-  
ble location.  
•Obstacles are blocking signals from  
the satellites.  
•The position of satellites relative to  
your vehicle is bad.  
•Signals from the GPS satellites  
have been modified to reduce accu-  
racy. (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 vehicle 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 vehicle wax, because  
this may block the reception of GPS  
signals. Snow buildup can also  
degrade the signals.  
Signals from the vehicle’s speed  
pulse are not being picked up prop-  
erly.  
Check that the cables are properly  
connected. If necessary, consult the

Route Setting Information  
Route search specifications  
Your Navigation System sets a route to your desti-  
nation by applying certain built-in rules to the  
map data. This section provides some useful  
information about how a route is set.  
About the route condition  
When the calculation of only one route is set, you  
can search a route option by combining the fol-  
lowing conditions.  
How to set the calculation conditions ➞  
Page 31  
For example, when “Fastest” 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  
• When a route is calculated, the route and  
voice guidance for the route is automati-  
cally set. Also, for day or time traffic regu-  
lations, only information about traffic  
regulations at the time when the route was  
calculated is shown. One-way streets and  
street closures may not be taken into con-  
sideration. For example, if a street is open  
during the morning only, but you arrive  
later, it would be against the traffic regula-  
tions 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.  
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.  
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.)  
• Update Navigation DVDs are available for  
purchase from your local Pioneer dealer  
that includes the most current map and  
point of interest information. Contact your  
local Pioneer dealer for details.  
• 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 Navi-  
gation System whilst taking the type of streets  
or traffic regulations into account. It is not nec-  
essarily 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  
65  
   
set by voice operation, only one route is calcu-  
lated.  
- when driving on a road inside a facility  
- when driving on a roundabout  
• Route setting is limited to the range of the disc  
in use.  
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.  
• 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  
announced.  
• It is possible that guidance may direct you off a  
freeway and then back on again.  
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.  
• 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.  
Tracking  
• In some cases, a route may begin on the oppo-  
site side of a railway or river from your actual  
current location. If this happens, drive towards  
your destination for a while, and try route cal-  
culation again.  
• 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.  
• In the following cases, the route that passes  
through an Area to Avoid may be set:  
- when your vehicle 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.  
• 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  
100 miles tracking of your vehicle with white  
dots.  
Tracking can also be set for automatic erasing  
whenever the Navigation System is switched  
off Page 48  
• When there is a traffic jam ahead, if driving  
through the traffic jam is better than taking the  
detour, a detour route may not be set.  
• 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 fol-  
lowing cases:  
- when your vehicle is not on a street  
- when your vehicle is on a ferry
