SATELLITE NAVIGATOR OPERATION CHECK

Check 5580MC

Check the operation of the satellite navigation system

• Check that the map disc is consistent with the vehicle model.
• In NAV mode, check that the number of satellites in the last line on the right is at least 3 indicating that the satellite reception is correct. If the reading for the number of satellites is less than 3 then the reception is not good enough to locate the vehicle. It is probably a question of insufficient cover. In this case try and move the vehicle to an area where there is good reception or compare the reception with other cars located in the same place.

The satellite reception test should be carried out in an open area. In this case, without a comparison it is impossible to say whether or not the navigator is defective. If, on the other hand, the comparison reveals even worse reception, check the connection of the satellite aerial, the electrical continuity, the correct power supply and, if necessary, test with different equipment that is definitely working properly.
