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 comprehen- sive, it should answer your most common problems. If a solution to your problem cannot be found here, contact 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 signal quality may happen for the following reasons:

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 anten- na, GPS reception may be lost tem- porarily.

Check the GPS signal reception and the posi- tion of the GPS antenna if necessary, or con- tinue driving until reception improves. Keep the antenna clear.
