Navigation System System Description

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)

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.

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.

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.

CAUTION:

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.

NOTICE:

1. Do not disassemble any part of the disc player.
   
2. Do not apply oil to the disc player.
   
3. Do not insert anything but a disc into the disc player.

Precautions for use of discs

NOTICE:

1. CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-ReWritable) 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.
   
2. Unfinalized CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-ReWritable) cannot be played.
   
3. CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-ReWritable) 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.
   
4. If there are fingerprints or scratches on a disc, the disc may not play or the disc may skip.
   
5. Some CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-ReWritable) may deteriorate if they are left in the cabin for a long time.
   
6. Keep CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-ReWritable) in an opaque case.
   
7. SECAM color television standard discs cannot be played.
   
8. DualDiscs that mate DVD recorded material on one side with CD digital audio material on the other cannot be played.
   
9. Keep the discs away from dirt. Be careful not to damage the discs or leave fingerprints on them.
   
10. Hold discs by the outer edge and center hole with the label side up.
    
11. 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.
    
12. 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.
    
13. Keep the discs away from direct sunlight. (Exposure to direct sunlight may cause deformation of the disc, making the disc unusable.)
    
14. Do not use odd-shaped discs because these may cause player malfunctions.
    
15. Do not use discs whose recording portion is transparent or translucent because they may not be inserted, ejected or played normally.
    
16. Use only 4.7 in. (12 cm) discs.
    
17. Do not use 3 in. (8 cm) CDs either with or without adaptors.
    

HINT:

1. 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.
   
2. The disc may skip if the player experiences strong vibrations when the vehicle is driven on rough roads or similar uneven surfaces.
   

Cleaning

NOTICE:

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.
   

   NOTICE:

   1. Pressing on the disc by hand or rubbing the disc with a hard cloth may scratch the disc surface.
      
   2. 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.

HINT:

The communication performance of "Wi-Fi" may vary depending on obstructions or radio wave conditions between communication devices, electromagnetic radiation, communication device sensitivity or antenna capacity.

Enables the usable content of a cellular phone to be displayed on and operated from the multi-display assembly screen. As "Bluetooth" communication is used for the communication between a cellular phone and the multi-media module receiver assembly, before using the Toyota Link function on the navigation system, the cellular phone needs to be registered with the navigation system as a "Bluetooth" device. For details regarding Toyota Link, applications and compatible phones, refer to http:// www.toyota.com.au/.

The following services are available by connecting the navigation system to Toyota's portal site via the internet using a cellular phone or "Wi-Fi" network.

1. Online search: New establishments, such as restaurants, bars, etc., that are not registered in the navigation system can be set as a destination.
   
2. Importing memory points: Establishments that were searched for using a personal computer can be set as a destination and can be registered as memory points.
   

HINT:

1. For known compatible phones, refer to http://www.my.toyota.eu.
   
2. It is necessary to agree to the terms of service for the search engine on http:// www.my.toyota.eu. Failure to do so may cause problems such as not being able to select the search engine or the screen not transferring to the next screen when "Online search" is selected.
   
3. Connected services are available only on a multi-media module receiver assembly that has had its identification code registered when the account was created.

2. Some customize parameters displayed on the GTS will be displayed on the "Vehicle Customization" screen for the navigation system. Users can customize these items.
   

Approximately 3000 tracks with a 5-minute track length average can be recorded to the HDD from audio discs using AAC encoding at 128 kbps (a maximum of 9999 tracks can be recorded if tracks with an average track length of less than 5 minutes are recorded or the tracks are encoded at less than 128 kbps).

Album, artist, genre and title names for recorded tracks can be input or edited freely.

These names make it possible to search for a track easily.

HINT:

1. Recording equipment should be used only for lawful copying. It is necessary to carefully confirm what is lawful copying in the country in which you are making a copy.
   
2. Copying of copyright material such as films or music is unlawful unless permitted by a legal exception or consent granted by the owners of the rights to the content.
   

This function allows memory points stored in the multi-media module receiver assembly to be registered to another multi-media module receiver assembly.
Memory points stored in the multi-media module receiver assembly can be exported to a USB device. Data exported to a USB device can be imported to another multi-media module receiver assembly using a USB device.
