The navigation system cannot detect the location
correctly if the initial learning is not complete.
The correct positioning can be attained after driv-
ing a certain distance. (The AV source can be
used normally regardless of the initial learning
status.)
When the vehicle starts to run, the 3D Hybrid
Sensor’s initial learning automatically starts.
Until the 3D Hybrid Sensor’s initial learning is
complete, the positioning is performed by GPS
satellites so the location of your vehicle may not
be very accurate. This is not an error. When the
initial learning is complete, the location of your
vehicle can be detected with high accuracy.

(such as one available in the future) where,
although it is incompatible as a source, the
basic functions can be controlled by the navi-

trolled by this navigation system. When two
external units are connected, the navigation
system allocates them to external unit 1 or
external unit 2.

When the Hard Disk Drive is Dis- Playable discs
connected
DVD and CD discs that display the logos shown
below generally can be played back on this built-
in DVD drive.
If there is no hard disk drive due to repair or serv-
ice, only the Radio source can be operated.
The following screen also may appear because
the hard disk drive can not run due to low temper-
ature. In such a case, park your vehicle in a safe
place and turn the ignition switch off. After the
temperature inside the vehicle returns to normal,
turn the ignition switch on.

scratches, or those that are warped may not
play properly. Do not use such discs.
• Avoid touching the recorded (non-printed side)
surface when handling the disc.
• Store discs in their cases when not in use.
• Keep discs out of direct sunlight and do not
expose the discs to high temperatures.
• Do not attach labels to, write on, or apply
chemicals to the surface of the discs.

• If the heater is used in cold weather, condensa-
tion may form on components inside the DVD
drive. Condensation may cause the DVD drive
to operate incorrectly. If you think that conden-
sation is a problem, turn off the DVD drive for
an hour or so to allow the DVD drive to dry out,
and wipe any damp discs with a soft cloth to
remove the moisture.
If marks other than those listed are found on DVD
disc labels and packages, please ask the DVD
disc supplier for their meaning.
Condition memory
This function memorizes selections made for
audio language, subtitle language, angle
number, and aspect ratio during disc playback
for up to 30 discs. The final settings during play-
back of a disc are memorized without requiring
special operations. The next time a disc is played,
the previous settings are automatically applied.
• Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.
Ambient conditions for playing
disc
• At extremely high temperatures, a temperature
cutoff protects this product by switching it off
automatically.
• Despite our careful design of the navigation
system, as a result of mechanical wear, ambi-
ent conditions for use or handling of the disc,
small scratches that do not affect actual opera-
tion may appear on the disc surface. This is not
a sign of the malfunction of this navigation sys-
tem. Consider it to be normal wear and tear.
❒ With some discs, audio language and subtitle
language are automatically specified, in
which case condition memory does not func-
tion.
❒ When the number of discs exceeds 30, set-
tings for the new disc replace those for the
oldest disc.
DVD drive and care
• Use only normal, round discs. If you insert
irregular, non-round shaped discs, they may
jam in the DVD drive or not play properly.
Using the LCD Panel Correctly
Handling the LCD panel
• Be careful of fingers, long hair, and loose
articles of clothing which could possibly
get caught between the LCD panel and the
main body and cause serious injury.
• Check all discs for cracks, scratches or warp-
age before playing. Discs that have cracks or
18
• When the LCD panel is subjected to direct sun-
light for a long period of time, it will become
very hot, resulting in possible damage to the
LCD screen. When not using this navigation
system, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight as
much as possible.
• The LCD panel should be used within the tem-
perature ranges shown below.
— Operating temperature range:
• Small black dots or white dots (bright dots)
may appear on the LCD screen. These are due
to the characteristics of the LCD screen and do
not indicate a problem with the navigation sys-
tem.
• At low temperatures, the LCD screen may be
dark for a while after the power is turned on.
• The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is
exposed to direct sunlight.
• When using a cellular phone, keep the
antenna of the cellular phone away from the
navigation system to prevent video disruption
with disturbances such as spots or colored
stripes.
+14 °F to +122 °F
— Storage temperature range:
–4 °F to +176 °F
• Do not use the LCD panel at temperatures
higher or lower than the operating temperature
range because the LCD panel may not operate
normally and the LCD panel can be damaged.
• The LCD screen is exposed in order to increase
its visibility within the vehicle. Please do not
press strongly on it as this may damage it.
• Do not place anything on the LCD panel when
it is opened. Also, do not attempt to manually
adjust the angle or open/close the LCD panel.
Applying strong force to the LCD panel may
damage it.
Keeping the LCD screen in good
condition
• When removing dust from the LCD screen or
cleaning the LCD screen, first turn the system
power off, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
• When wiping the LCD screen, take care not to
scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or abra-
sive chemical cleaners.
• Do not push on the LCD screen with a large
amount of force as this may scratch it.
• Never touch the LCD screen with anything
besides your finger when operating the Touch
Panel functions. The LCD screen can scratch
easily. (The stylus is supplied for special cali-
brations. Do not use the stylus for normal oper-
ation.)
• Be careful not to place anything between the
LCD panel and the main body when the LCD
panel is closing. If an object gets between the
LCD panel and main body, the LCD panel may
stop working.
About small fluorescent tube
• A small fluorescent tube is used inside the dis-
play to illuminate the LCD screen.
— The fluorescent tube should last for approx-
imately 10 000 hours, depending on operat-
ing conditions. (Using the navigation
system at low temperatures reduces the
service life of the fluorescent tube.)
— When the fluorescent tube reaches the end
of its life, the LCD screen will be dark and
the image will no longer be projected. If this
happens, consult your dealer or the nearest
authorized PIONEER Service Station.
About liquid crystal display
(LCD) screen
• If the LCD panel is near the vent of an air con-
ditioner when it is opened, make sure that air
from the air conditioner is not directly blowing
on the panel. Heat from the heater may break
the LCD screen, and cool air from the air con-
ditioner may cause moisture to form inside the
product, resulting in possible damage. Also, if
the LCD panel is cooled down by the air condi-
tioner, the LCD screen may become dark, or
the life span of the small fluorescent tube used
inside the LCD panel may be shortened.
