Global Positioning System (GPS)
The current position of the vehicle is determined by using satellite signals and various vehicle signals.
At times, other interference such as the satellite condition, road configuration, condition of the vehicle, and/or other circumstances can affect the navigation system's ability to determine the accurate position of the vehicle. This system might not be available or interference can occur if any of the following are true: . Signals are obstructed by tall buildings,
trees, large trucks, or a tunnel. . Satellites are being repaired or improved. For more information if the GPS is not functioning properly, see Problems with Route Guidance 0 164.

At times, the position of the vehicle on the map could be inaccurate due to one or more of the following reasons: . The road system has changed. . The vehicle is driving on slippery road
surfaces such as sand, gravel, or snow. . The vehicle is traveling on winding roads
or long, straight roads. . The vehicle is approaching a tall building
or a large vehicle.
. The surface streets run parallel to a freeway.
. The vehicle has been transferred by a vehicle carrier or a ferry.
. The current position calibration is set incorrectly.
. The vehicle is traveling at high speed.
. The vehicle changes directions more than once, or the vehicle is turning on a turn table in a parking lot.
