Kia Optima: Description and Operation
Limitations Of The Navigation system
GPS Signal Reception State
As the GPS satellite frequency is received/transmitted
in straight lines, reception may not work if hiding devices are placed on or near
the GPS antenna or when traveling through the following locations.
| • |
Basement parking structures |
| • |
Roads within forested areas |
| • |
Areas near high rise buildings |
Vehicle Position Display
| 1. |
If multipass errors occur due
to reflections from buildings or related causes, the current position mark
on the navigation may differ from the actual position of the vehicle. |
| 2. |
The position of the vehicle on
the navigation may be different from the actual position if the vehicle
is under the situation. Driving a vehicle for a short period of time will
correct the position on thenavigation through map matching or GPS information.
| A. |
When driving on a Y-shaped
road with a narrow angle, the current position may be displayed
in the opposite direction. |
| B. |
If the vehicle is loaded
onto a car transport vehicle, the current position mark may be stalled
on the last position prior to loading. |
| C. |
When driving on a spiral-shaped
road. |
| D. |
When driving in mountain
regions with sharp turns or sudden brakes. |
| E. |
When entering a road
after having been in an underground parking structure, building
parking structure, or turnable with many rotations. |
| F. |
When the tires have recently
been replaced (Especially upon use of spare or studless tires) |
| G. |
If the battery terminal
is removed. |
| H. |
When driving in city
streets, the current position may be displayed on the opposite side
or on an off-road position. |
| I. |
When changing the zoom
level from the maximum zoom in level to a different zoom level,
the current position mark may be displayed on a different road. |
| J. |
When driving in heavy
traffic with frequent go · stops in traffic or intersections. |
| K. |
When driving under slippery
conditions, such as heavy sand, snow, etc. |
| L. |
When driving with the
tire chain in place. |
| M. |
When using a tire with
an incorrect size specification. |
| N. |
When the tire pressure
for the 4 tires are different. |
| O. |
When the replacement
tire is a worn or used tire (Especially studless tires having passed
a 2nd seasons, etc.) |
| P. |
When driving near high-rise
buildings |
| Q. |
If a roof carrier has
been installed |
| R. |
When driving under high
speeds or having calculated a long-distance route. |
|
Route Guidance
Suitable route guidance may not occur caused by search conditions
or the driving position.
| • |
Guidance to go straight may be
given while driving on a straight road. |
| • |
Guidance may not be given even
when having turned at an intersection. |
| • |
There are certain intersections
in which guidance may not occur. |
| • |
A route guidance signaling entrance
into a no enter zone may occur (No enter zone, road under construction,
etc.) |
| • |
Guidance may be given to a position
removed from the actual destination if roads to reach the actual destination
do not exist or are too narrow. |
| • |
Faulty voice guidance may be
given if the vehicle breaks from the designated route (ex : if a turn is
made at an intersection while the navigation provided guidance to go straight). |
| • |
Map Data may be missing or incorrect
causing route guidance to not be given. |
Route Re-calculation
The following phenomena may occur after conducting route
recalculation.
| • |
Guidance may be given to a position
differing from the current position when turning at an intersection. |
| • |
Route recalculation may take
a longer period of time when driving under high speeds. |
| • |
A route guidance signaling for
a U-Turn in a No U-Turn location may occur. |
| • |
A route guidance signaling entrance
into a no enter zone may occur (No enter zone, road under construction,
etc). |
| • |
Guidance may be given to a position
removed from the actual destination do not exist or are too narrow. |
| • |
Faulty voice guidance may be
given if the vehicle breaks from the designated route (ex : if a turn is
made at an intersection while the navigation provided guidance to go straight) |
