SECTION 4K - HOLDEN SATNAV

IMPORTANT:

Before performing any Service Operation or other procedure described in this Section, refer to Section

00 CAUTIONS AND NOTES for correct workshop practices with regard to safety and/or property damage.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

IMPORTANT: All the illustr ations s howing the exter nal view of the vehic le s how the VX Series vehic le. Ther e is only

a cosmetic difference between the VT and VX Series vehicles externally, which does not affect the following

procedures.

There are two models of SATNAV system installed in the Holden VT Series. They are the:

• Philips CARiN 520 (up to August 1999).

• Philips CARiN 522 (August 1999 to August 2000).

Thes e sys tems are an option for c ustom ers and are inst alled by Holden Special Vehic les (HSV) at selected sites in

each state.

The Holden SATNAV system employs three technologies:

• The vehicle’s speed signal (from the VSS) and a gyroscope, which is internal to the SATNAV computer.

• Global Positioning System (GPS).

• Digital road map.

Refer to Figure 4K-1. New equipment installed into the vehicle are the:

• SATNAV computer (5).

• SATNAV monitor (1) and escutcheon (2).

• SATNAV GPS antenna (4).

• GPS Interface (6).

• SATNAV remote control and cradle (3).

IMPORTANT: The SATNAV equipment installed into VT Series will differ in appearance between the two different

models of navigation system supplied by the vendor.

The following modifications are made to the vehicle to accommodate the SATNAV system:

• Four holes are drilled and countersunk in the lower surface of the radio carrier to provide an attachment

point for the SATNAV monitor.

• The transmission console has the storage compartment cut away to accommodate for the SATNAV monitor

and escutcheon.

IMPORTANT: If either the transmission console or the radio carrier need to be replaced on a SATNAV equipped

vehicle, the templates for making the modifications are available from Holden By Design.

Figure 4K-1

1.1 VEHICLE DIRECTION

The vehicle speed sensor and the gyroscope work together to provide direction and speed signals. These signals

are provided to the SATNAV computer’s processor and are used in conjunction with the GPS to provide vehicle

navigation to the user.

1.2 GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM

The G PS is a s er ies of 27 s atellites which orbit the ear th at an altitude of 21 000 km . The signals from four satellites

must be received by a GPS device to get an accurate three-dimensional position in space and time. If only three

satellites signals are received, only the device’s position in space is attained, and the accuracy is reduced. The

position calculated by the GPS device is accurate to between 30 and 100 metres. GPS reception maybe

interrupted, especially due to the nature of the SATNAV system, in the following instances:

• Between tall buildings.

• In car parks, tunnels or under bridges.

• In forests or avenues.

• During storms.

• In valleys and mountains.

• In the event that the antenna and the position of the satellites are not favourable due to the satellite’s orbit.

1.3 DIGITAL ROAD MAP

The digital road m ap is supplied by VDO Dayton. T he map is contained on a Com pact Disc (CD) which is read by

the SATNAV computer. This CD must be inserted into the SATNAV computer for the system to work. Update

versions of the map are available from VDO Dayton.

1.4 MODEL IDENTIFICATION

PHILIPS CARIN 520

Philips CARiN 520 system is identifiable by the brand labelling on the computer fitted to the vehicle, refer to

Fig 4K-3. The m onitor f itted has a s maller sc reen than the other model and an esc utc heon to suit. Ref er to item 6 in

Fig 4K-7. The remote control is not equipped with a ‘MAP’ button.

In operation, this system mutes the audio system when giving the voice commands through the audio system

speakers.

PHILIPS CARIN 522

The Philips CARiN 522 has the same computer as the Philips CARiN 520. The monitor is a large monitor with a

dark grey escutcheon. The remote control has a ‘MAP’ button.

1.5 GENERAL OPERATION

NOTE: For a detailed version of operation of the SATNAV system, refer to 2.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

for the user manual.

The SATNAV system works in the following manner:

• Initially, with power s upplied, the SATNAV monitor tur ns on and the system ac quire s a G PS s ignal. T his will

give a position in space within 30 to 100 metres. This position will be translated onto the digital road map

and shown on the monitor. The vehicle may not be shown in its exact position yet, as the system m ay not

be calibrated.

• The user can now enter a destination using the f unctions of the system . T he rem ote control, which can be

used while in its cradle or pointed at the screen, is used to navigate the various screens. The m ap screen

will highlight the route to be taken.

• The system will start to calibrate itself as soon as the vehicle moves. The VSS provides electrical pulses,

which are converted into dis tance, and the gyroscope will detect and measure any change in direction. The

GPS signal will continue to be received and used as a reference by the system.

• Once the vehicle is calibrated, it will be represented by the arrow being shown on the map in the correct

position and travelling in the correct direction. To get to this stage it may take one or two changes of

direction of the vehicle. The system will supply audio com mands during this time fo r any direction c hanges

required. These audio commands are given through the front left-hand instrument panel and door speaker.

• If at any stage a recommended turning point is not taken by the driver, the SATNAV system will calculate an

alternate route.

There are some important features that should be mentioned about the system:

• Calibration will take longer if the vehicle is driven along a straight road for some distance.

• The vehic le’s pos ition is stor ed af ter the vehic le is tur ned of f . The system requir es 30 sec onds to s hut down

properly.

• If the vehicle’s position has been stored previous ly, the system will work without GPS reception and still be

accurate.

• The vehicle’s position will remain in memory after the battery has been disconnected, but only if the

SATNAV system has been allowed 30 seconds to shut down properly.

1.6 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

For the following description, refer to Figure 4K-2. The Holden SATNAV system is based on a the Philips CARiN

Navigation System with the following changes:

SATNAV system takes 30 seconds to shut down.

Calibration of the SATNAV system is performed automatically. For calibration to occur the vehicle must be in motion

and the SATNAV s ystem tur ned on. T he c alibr ation does not need to be performed by the technician, however if the

customer is not aware of the system requiring calibration, they may believe the system is not functioning correctly.

For the system to calibrate, the following must be performed:

• The SATNAV system must be activated. This is automatic when the vehicles ignition is switched on,

providing the SATNAV system is functioning correctly.

• The vehicle must be driven until the arrow representing the vehicle is correctly aligned with the digital map

displayed on the monitor.

NOTE: The more turns taken during calibration, the faster the system will calibrate.

READ GPS DATA

The common misconception made by service personnel when diagnosing navigation system performance

is to s us pect s atellite r ec eption as the c aus e of the f ault. In r eality, the GPS data sensed by the computer is

only processed every few seconds to confirm that the position calculated by the map matching software

process is c orr ec t. Good G PS data is es sential to the s ystem when it is f irs t ins talled in the vehic le, or when

the vehicle is moved from one location to another without the navigation system being active.

W ithin the SATNAV computer unit, there is a separate GPS receiver, which receives the GPS signal from

the antenna and passes calculated inf orm ation to the SAT NAV com puter ’s proc essor . If it is concluded that

the GPS receiver is faulty, the SATNAV computer must be replaced.

RECEIVER STATE DESCRIPTION COMMENT

3D POSITION 3D data on the location

of the vehicle is available

when four or more

satellites are received by

the system.

In this condition, the satellite icon on the guidance screen is

GREEN. This is the normal condition.

2D POSITION 2D data on the location

of the vehicle is available

when three or more

satellites are received by

the system.

No geographic height can be determined in this mode.

Positional accuracy is reduced.

The satellite icon on the guidance screen is RED. This is not the

normal condition, but indicates poor or reduced reception.

TRACKING The data from one

satellite has been

received by the system.

This condition is normally encountered when the system is first

powered up. The GPS receiver will be in this mode for up to 10

minutes depending upon reception conditions.

The satellite icon on the guidance screen is RED.

SEARCH SAT The system has a val id

almanac and is

searching for satellites.

This condition is normally encountered when the system is first

powered up. The GPS receiver will be in this mode for up to 10

minutes depending upon reception conditions.

The satellite icon on the guidance screen is RED.

REC ERROR The system does not

receive the signals. This condition usually occurs if the GPS antenna is not

connected or the cable is damaged. A failed GPS receiver could

be the condition.

The satellite icon on the guidance screen is RED.

COM ERROR The GPS receiver is not

providing any data to the

SATNAV computer’s

processor.

Internal communication between the GPS receiver and the

SATNAV computer is not possible.

READ ERROR MEMORY

The self-diagnosis function of the computer stores

error events to its internal memory. The errors

detected may be due to internal (computer) or

external (environmental or vehicle) conditions. You

may need to view this screen when asked by a

VDO tec hnical consultant during the cour se of fault

diagnosis.
