INSEPCTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK CABIN

(a) Check the cabin for any object that might interrupt radio reception on the instrument panel. If such an object exists, remove it and check if the GPS mark reappears.

HINT
The GPS works uses extremely faint radio waves originating from satellites. If the signal is interrupted by obstructions or another radio wave, the GPS may not be able to properly receive the signal.

OK:

Mark appears.

OK -- NORMAL OPERATION
NG -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK SURROUNDINGS

HINT
The GPS uses 24 satellites in 6 orbits. At any point in time, 5 satellites should be able to pinpoint your vehicle. However, GPS signals may not reach the vehicle due to influence from the surroundings, vehicle direction and time. For illustrated examples, see below.
