NAVIGATOR - Description

06/99 to 03/02, up to 05/99

Description

On request, a road-map "Navigator" is available, integrated in the dashboard.

The navigator allows the driver to know the position of his vehicle at every instant, by displaying it on the map, and helps the driver reach the desired destination. The system also allows the driver to obtain easily additional information on services of general interest (hotels, car parks, restaurants, pharmacies, service stations, hospitals, workshops, railway stations, airports, etc.).

An electronic control unit, under the driver's seat, manages the operation of the entire system. In addition, a power supply is located beside the central unit which generates several outputs with stabilized voltage values.

A CD player is incorporated in the central unit: it reads the CDs containing the mapping and all the other information relating to a country.

The gyroscope - located inside the central unit casing - detects the rotation of the vehicle and enables the map to be orientated.

The central unit casing also houses the GPS receiver, which processes the GPS (Global Positioning System) functions required by the navigation system:

• initial location of the vehicle;
• initial self-calibration of the sensors (milometer and gyroscope);
• assistance with navigation (check on correct location of the vehicle in relation to that detected by the sensors);
• synchronization of the central unit internal clock;
• location of the vehicle in areas not covered by maps and in the case of transported vehicle (ferry, train, etc.).

A GPS satellite aerial, located in the interior rearview mirror mounting, permits GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite location of the vehicle: the aerial is connected to the relevant receiver in the central unit by means of a specific shielded cable.

A removable 5.6" colour display has two possible installation positions: one oppposite the driver, and a more central position. The display is easily extracted using a lever and can be moved from one position to the other.

The display shows the selected route; the speaker accompanies the display with voice messages in various languages. The display incorporates a speaker at the rear for the voice messages.

A wireless infrared remote control activates the system, sends commands to the display and enters data.

The remote control has no attachment point in the car, but is free standing.

For more details see DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION: 5580M om-board navigator.

When operations are carried out on the system, the instructions given in the DESCRIPTIONS AND OPERATIONmust be carefully followed, especially as far as the TEST Menu for calibrating the system and the diagnosis of any faults detected is concerned.

The system control unit supply line is protected by a special fuse located next to the junction unit.

The system comprises an auto-activation logic controlled by the opening of the driver's doodr:

• when the door opens, the system is activated automatically;
• if during the next 3 minutes the ignition is switched on, the system stays on
• if nothing happens during the next 3 minutes and the door is reclosed, the system switches itself off
• when the ignition is turned off, the system switches itself off after 6 minutes.

Description

The navigation system informs you of the vehicle's position on the map (in relation to both urban and non-urban/motorway road networks).

In this way, the driver is taken to the desired destination, guided step-by-step by voice messages and visual information. The system also provides additional information for reaching services of general interest, such as hotels, car parks, restaurants, chemists, service stations, hospitals, FIAT service outlets, railway stations, airports, etc.

The navigator is incorporated in the radio unit: it is a BOSCH radio navigator personalized especially for the FIAT MULTIPLA.

The navigation system uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite location technology; it has the following functions:

• vehicle location
• calculation of the route
• identification of 'route guidance' manoeuvres
• management of the map data base (on CD-ROM)

The navigation CD-ROM reader is located in the unit itself.

The navigation system only operates with the CD-ROM inserted in the special drive. however it is possible to listen to a music CD during navigation. In this case, the navigation function requires the map CD to be inserted during execution of the route calculation procedures.

The GPS system consists of an aerial which allows the GPS satellite location of the vehicle: the aerial is connected to the relevant receiver, located in the integrated unit, via a specific shielded cable. The GPS aerial is fitted to the interior rear view mirror.

The vehicle position is identified by the analysis of the GPS data and the speedometer and reverse gear signals coming from the car. This position is shown on the monochromatic display in the centre of the radionavigator.

When the vehicle is new or after any operation on the navigation system, the test and calibration procedures must be carried out as indicated in Characteristic of working principle 5580N intergrated control system (ics) panel.
