General Information
■ Accuracy of vehicle position
Area in which GPS signals cannot be received
Because the radiowave signals from the GPS satellites travel primarily by line of sight, the navigation system might not be able to receive the signals in the areas described below.(If the GPS mark does not appear on the map screen, it means that the GPS radiowave signals are not being properly received.) (1) (2) (3) Under a three-dimensional road system such as for high speed
Inside a tunnel Inside a building

Between buildings
(4) On boulevards lined with trees (5) (6) Under a cliff or in a cave •
If the GPS antenna or its surroundings are blocked by an obstacle (including cargo), it might not be possible for the system to receive the GPS radiowave signals. If multiple paths are created due to the reflection from buildings, a large measurement error could occur, causing the vehicle's mark to deviate from its actual position.
•
Deviation of the vehicle's position mark
The vehicle's position mark could deviate from its actual position when the vehicle is being driven under the conditions listed below or due to conditions of the GPS satellites. If the vehicle travels on a road whose actual shape differs from that in the map data, the vehicle's mark could deviate from the actual posi-

If the screen does not show the cor- rect position for an excessively long time, correct the current position or make an automatic correction.

(3) When the vehicle makes a right or left turn, the vehicle's mark

could appear on one street ahead or behind. If the vehicle is transported by means other than the vehicle's own power, such as on a ferryboat, the vehicle's mark will remain in the position it was before the transport until the sys- tem can calculate the position through the GPS.
(5) When the vehicle is driven on a steep incline, the vehicle's mark

could deviate from its actual position. If there are continuous gradual curves in the same direction, the vehicle's mark could deviate from its actual position. If the vehicle is driven in a zigzag pattern, such as through fre- quent lane changes, the vehicle's mark could deviate from its actual position. If the vehicle is placed on a turntable, such as in a parking area, and turned with the ignition OFF, the vehicle's mark could devi- ate from its actual orientation. The vehicle's mark could also deviate even after the vehicle has exited the parking area. The vehicle's mark could deviate from its actual position if the vehicle is driven using tire chains or snow tires on a snow-cov- ered road or on a mountainous road.
(10) The vehicle's mark could deviate from its actual position after
the tires have been replaced.
■ How the vehicle position is detected
Detecting the vehicle's position through the GPS
GPS stands for "Global Positioning System", which is a system used for detecting an object's position through the use of satellites of the U.S. Department of Defense. Radiowave signals from three or more satellites are received by the navigation system, which utilizes the principle of triangulation to detect the position at which the radiowave signals are received. When the navigation unit is receiving the GPS radiowave signals, a "GPS" mark will appear on the map screen.
Detecting the vehicle's position through self-contained naviga- tion
Self-contained navigation is a system that detects the vehicle's posi- tion by calculating the vehicle's driven distance and turning angle though the use of various types of sensors that are mounted on the vehicle. Through the use of self-contained navigation, the vehicle's position can be detected even in an area where the GPS radiowave signals cannot be received.
Making corrections to the detection of the vehicle's position through map matching
•
In map matching, the position information resulting from the detection of the vehicle's position and the locus of the travel of the vehicle up to the present are constantly compared to the

•
shape of the roads on the map in order to correct the vehicle's position mark to the most appropriate road. If the vehicle is driven on a road whose actual shape differs from its map data, the vehicle's position mark on the map could devi- ate from its actual position. Occasionally, the correction of the vehicle's position mark to the actual road on the map can be observed, particularly after the vehicle has turned at an intersection or has exited from a parking area.
■ Accuracy of the route guidance The conditions listed below do not indicate a malfunction.
(1)
(2) (3)
(4)
(5) (6)
(7)
The guidance might prompt the driver to drive straight even though the vehicle is being driven on a straight road. The directional guidance could display multiple place names. If the vehicle makes a turn at an intersection before the guided route, the wrong type of voice guidance could be outputted. The guidance might not be outputted while the vehicle is mak- ing a turn at an intersection. The system might not be able to search for the proper route. If there is no road to the destination or if there is only a narrow road, the route might be indicated up to an area that is short of the destination. The repeat search could take a long time while the vehicle is being driven at high speeds.
(8) While the system is searching again for the route, the route indi-
cation might not appear in time for the next right or left turn. The route might not change even if a search is made again.

Precautions when using the system
WARNING
READ THIS MANUAL FIRST
Read this supplement carefully before using your audio and visual system. We are not liable for accidents or other problems resulting from failure to follow the instructions in this supplement.
AVOID OPERATING THE AUDIO AND VISUAL system WHILE DRIVING
You should stop the vehicle in a safe place before operating the audio and visual system. For safety’s sake, some of the audio and visual system’s functions cannot be used unless the vehicle is stationary. If you stare at the display with too much enthusiasm or oper- ate the switches of the system while in driving, the navigation system could cause your attention to be distracted from the current traffic conditions. Please be sure to input in the system as much information as possible before taking your departure. And also please be sure to bring your car to a stop in a safe place if you need to input information. The buttons for the touch screen that cannot be used are dis- played in light color (tone down). Operating the navigation system while in driving could cause your attention to be distracted from the current traffic condi- tions. And in consequence, this could result in a severe or fatal accident. Follow the descriptions of all operations and the instructions for safety given in this manual without fail.

CAUTION
NEVER DISASSEMBLE OR MODIFY THE AUDIO AND VISUAL SYSTEM
Any attempt to disassemble or modify the audio and visual system could lead to a fire, an electric shock, or some other type of accident.
Do not continue using the audio and visual system if it mal- functions
If the system shows any sign of malfunctioning (for example, the monitor gives no picture), stop using it immediately and contact the nearest SUBARU dealer. Continuing to use the system could lead to a fire, an electric shock, or some other type of accident.
If the audio and visual system gets contaminated, emits smoke or an odd smell, stop using it
If a foreign object gets inside the system, liquid is spilled onto the system, or the system emits smoke or an unusual smell, stop using it immediately and contact the nearest SUBARU dealer. Continuing to use the system could lead to a fire, an electric shock, or some other type of accident.
Before using the Audio and Visual
■ About the audio and visual screen • Subjecting the control buttons or liquid crystal display to excessive shock could result in audio and visual screen deformation or other damage.
• Keep any heat source (including lighted cigarettes) away from the
•
audio and visual screen. If a heat source is brought into contact with the audio and visual system cabinet and panel, they could be deformed or otherwise degraded. In extreme cold, the audio and visual screen may operate sluggishly and the display may dim. Such conditions do not indicate a problem. They will disappear when the cabin temperature rises to a normal temperature.
• Tiny black and white dots may occasionally appear in the liquid crys- tal display. These dots are a normal characteristic of the display. They do not indicate a problem.
• When the audio and visual screen requires cleaning, gently wipe it with a silicone cloth or other soft cloth. If necessary, spray the cloth with neutral cleaning fluid. Be sure to wipe away any cleaning fluid left on the audio and visual screen. Do not spray the cleaning fluid directly onto the audio and visual screen. Spraying cleaning fluid directly onto the audio and visual screen could cause an adverse effect on internal components. It is also not a good idea to wipe the audio and visual screen with a stiff cloth or attempt to clean it using thinners, alcohol, or any other volatile solvent. Doing so could leave scratches and/or erase the control button labels.
• Do not allow the audio and visual screen to get wet. If it gets wet
(allowing, for example, to a spilled drink or wet umbrella), its internal electronic circuitry may malfunction.

•
In hot weather, cool the passenger compartment down before using the audio and visual system. The liquid crystal display operates cor- rectly at temperatures between 0°C and 60°C (32°F and 140°F). When the temperature exceeds 60°C (140°F), the audio and visual system circuit protection function is activated, causing the display to dim.
NOTE • In the interest of safety, the use of some functions may be unavailable while in driving. The button for a touch screen that cannot be used will be displayed in tint color (toned down).
• Liquid-crystal displays may be difficult to read when wearing polarized
glasses.

Discs that can be used
For the in-vehicle equipment, it is possible to look and listen to discs attached with the marks shown below. Music CD
DVD Video
NOTE • Special discs are not supported that are not compliant with the formal CD
specifications such as the copy control CD.
• Discs such as CD-R(CD-Recordable) and CD-RW(CD-ReWritable) may not be
played back when they are inferior in their recording condition and character- istics, when they get scratched or stained, or when they get deteriorated due to being left in the vehicle for a long time. And when CD-R and CD-RW has not been treated for finalization, they cannot be played back.
Before using the Audio and Visual
CAUTION
• Handle the disc with care so that it does not get smeared
with fingerprints and stain, or does not get scratched.
• When handling the disc, be sure to hold it at the center hole
and the edge with the labeled side up.
• When the disc gets stained, wipe it lightly with a soft, dry
cloth for spectacles with plastic lenses. Pressing the disc hard with your hand or rubbing it with a hard cloth may cause scratches on the surface. And, avoid the use of a solution such as record spray, antistatic agent, alcohol, benzine and thinner, or chemical duster. This may cause damage to the disc, rendering it unusable.
• After pressing the disc eject switch, do not leave it in the
ejected condition for a long stretch of time. This may cause warp to the disc, thus rendering it unusable.
• Store the disc away from direct sunlight, which may cause
warp to it, thus rendering it unusable.
• Discs that can be played back are limited only to those with a
circular form 12 or 8 cm in diameter. Avoid using irregular sized discs, which may cause malfunc- tion to the equipment.
• The DualDisc is not supported. Avoid using it, which may
cause malfunction to the equipment.
Audio and Visual 99
Before using the Audio and Visual
• Avoid the use of discs of which the recording section is trans-
parent or translucent. These discs may not be inserted or ejected, or played back normally.
• Using lens cleaner may cause malfunction to the pick-up sec-
tion of the player. Be sure not to use it.
• Do not use discs attached with scotch tape, seal or CD-R
label, or those having traces of them. Using these discs may cause malfunction to the player with the ejection of discs unavailable.

Player
When there occurs an abnormal condition, the player stops automatically to protect the inside mechanism of the player. Even when conducting the operation according to the mes- sage displayed on the screen and the function is stopped, a malfunction may result. Get a checkup of the player at Subaru Dealer.
In the following cases other than malfunction, the player may not oper- ate normally. • When the disc can not read due to it being stained. • When the player is out of order. • When an abnormal temperature of the player has been detected.
(When the sign disappears after the temperature of the player gets back to the normal temperature, the player can be used.)
• When there occurs a dew condensation. (When it is cold or rains,
there occurs a dew condensation inside the player just as the inner surface of the vehicle glass clouds up. In such a case, the audio sound may be disturbed or the playback may be stopped. Ventilate or dehumidify the player for a while before using it.)
• When vibrated severely due to driving on rough roads. (The sound
may be disturbed.)
