VICS Beacon Antenna 

 
The VICS beacon antenna is located on top of the instrument panel. The antenna receives infra red and RF signals from 
road side transmitters. 
 

NAVIGATION SYSTEM OPERATION 

The navigation system receives GPS information via the GPS antenna. The GPS signals are used by the navigation 
computer to calculate the vehicles position. Once the driver has input a desired destination the navigation computer can 
calculate a route, based on the drivers pre-determined preferences or the default settings in the navigation computer. 
 
The navigation system is accessed by pressing the navigation button at the bottom left hand side of the TSD. The driver 
will then have the option of on road navigation or off road navigation.  
 

On Road Navigation 

On road navigation is initiated by the driver inputting a destination. This can be achieved by: 
 

Typing in and address from the TSD.  
Entering a post code.  
Choosing a pre-entered address from the address book.  
Choosing a point of interest from a an area.  

The driver is then guided to the destination by a scrolling map display and voice guidance. The display can be varied by 
scale and display type.
