■Operating by only voice when the Navigation System is started If you set “Auto Voice Recognition” in the Settings menu “ON”, you can operate from entering the password up to route setting by only voice after the engine of your vehicle is started (only when the route is not set). In this case, the operation is performed as follows: 1 Start the engine of your vehicle. 2 Confirm the message displayed on the screen, and say “OK” to the microphone.
■Available voice commands related to audio Common to each source CD Player, Tuner, CD Changer, DVD, D.A.B.
When all the voice commands cannot be shown in one screen To scroll through the rest of the menu, simply use the Scale Control. You can also display it by saying “Next Page”. To continue to use voice operation, speak a command. ➲ When you are used to voice operation features and no longer need Voice Help, you can switch it off. For details, see “Voice Recognition Help” on page 94.
3 Say “Local Search”. You say the contents you want to operate. Here, selection method of your destination is specified. When you want to search the petrol station nearest to the current location, say “Local Search”. When you speak the command, the Navigation System displays the command it recognised and the system voice repeats it. ➲ If a command that you did not intend is recognised, press the TALK button or say “Next Option”. Other available commands are then shown.
To finish the entry by spelling and to make the Navigation System display a list of options To finish entry of the spelt-out name of a city, POI, or postcode, say “Verify”. A list of relevant items is displayed. 1 After inputting some characters, say “Verify”. A list of items matching the entry appears. Each item has a matching number on the left. ➲ If all items cannot be shown on one screen, say “Next Page” to display the following page. Say “Previous Page” to return to the previous page.
Tips for Voice Operation For your voice commands to be correctly recognised and interpreted, ensure that conditions are suitable for recognition. Reduce the volume setting on your car audio system The voice recognition system may have problems distinguishing your voice commands from background noise. Turn down your audio system: remember that voices on the radio might be interpreted as commands.

Appendix Positioning Technology The Navigation System accurately measures your current location by combining the positioning by GPS and by Dead Reckoning. 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.
How do GPS and dead reckoning work together? For maximum accuracy, your Navigation System continually compares GPS data with your estimated position as calculated from the data of 3D Hybrid Sensor. However, if only the data from the 3D Hybrid Sensor is available for a long period, positioning errors are gradually compounded until the estimated position becomes unreliable.
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 the positioning by GPS is impossible • If signals cannot be received from more than two GPS satellites, GPS positioning does not take place. • In some driving conditions, signals from GPS satellites may not reach your vehicle.
■Conditions likely to cause noticeable positioning errors Certain conditions are more likely to cause discrepancies between your actual position and the location shown on the map display. • If you make a slight turn. • If there is a parallel road. • If there is another road very nearby, for example, an elevated motorway. • If you take a recently opened road that is not on the map. • If you drive in zig-zags. • If the road has connected hairpin bends. • If there is a loop or similar road configuration.
Troubleshooting If you have problems operating your Navigation System, refer to this section. The most common problems 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, contact your dealer or the nearest authorised Pioneer service facility. You cannot position your vehicle on the map or the positioning error is large.
The daylight display is used even when the vehicle lights are on. Possible causes: (1) “Daytime display” is selected on “Day/Night Map display.” (2) The Orange/white lead is not connected. Solutions: (1) Check the “Day/Night Map display” setting (see “Day/Night Map Display” on page 92) and make sure “Illuminated display” is selected. (2) Check the connection. The system will not switch on or will not operate. Possible causes: Installation or connection has been carried out incorrectly.
When the screen is frozen... Park your vehicle at a safe place, and cut the engine off. Turn the ignition key back to “Acc off”. Then start the engine again, and turn the power to the main unit back on. If this does not solve the problem, press the reset button on the main unit.
Messages and how to react to them The following messages may be displayed by your Navigation System. ➲ There are occasions when you may see error messages other than those shown here. In such a case, follow the instructions given on the display. (1) “You cannot use this function while driving.” When: While trying to make a menu selection. What to do: Pull over and come safely to a halt, put the handbrake on, and then try again. (2)“This is not the appropriate disc. Please insert the appropriate disc.
(6) “Direction of G sensor is not correct. Please turn off the system and check the installation. After you have checked, please re-boot the system and press “OK” .” When: Direction of G sensor is set incorrectly. What to do: See the “Installation Manual” and set the direction of G sensor correctly. (7) “Gyro Sensor is not working properly. Please consult your dealer or Pioneer service center.” When: Abnormal output of Gyrosensor is detected.
(13)“Initialisation failed. Back to PC card menu automatically.” When: Your Navigation System could not initialise the PC card for some reason. What to do: Try the initialisation again. If it still does not work, there may be some problems on the PC card. (14)“Irregular character strings. Please input again.” When: A symbol that cannot be pronounced was entered (during password registration). What to do: Enter a word that can be pronounced. (15)“An error has occurred.
Route Setting Information ■Route search specifications Your Navigation System sets a route to your destination by applying certain built-in rules to the map data. This section provides some useful information about how a route is set. Caution When a route is calculated, the route and voice guidance for the route is automatically set. Also, for day or time traffic regulations, only information about traffic regulations at the time when the route was calculated is shown.
• “Auto Reroute” function does not work in the following cases: - when your car is not on a street - when your car is on a ferry - when driving on a road inside a facility - when driving on a roundabout ■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.
