System Description=NBEL0171NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System) has the following immobilizer functions:
ISince only IVIS (NATS) ignition keys, whose ID nos. have been registered into the ECM and IMMU of IVIS
(NATS), allow the engine to run, operation of a stolen vehicle without an IVIS (NATS) registered key is
prevented by IVIS (NATS).
That is to say, IVIS (NATS) will immobilise the engine if someone tries to start it without the registered key
of IVIS (NATS).
IAll of the originally supplied ignition key IDs (except for card plate key) have been IVIS (NATS) registered.
If requested by the vehicle owner, a maximum of five key IDs can be registered into the IVIS (NATS) com-
ponents.
IThe security indicator blinks when the ignition switch is in ªOFFº or ªACCº position. Therefore, IVIS (NATS)
warns outsiders that the vehicle is equipped with the anti-theft system.
IWhen IVIS (NATS) detects trouble, the security indicator lamp lights up while ignition key is in the ªONº
position.
IIVIS (NATS) trouble diagnoses, system initialization and additional registration of other IVIS (NATS) igni-
tion key IDs must be carried out using CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II IVIS (NATS) software.
When IVIS (NATS) initialization has been completed, the ID of the inserted ignition key is automatically
IVIS (NATS) registered. Then, if necessary, additional registration of other IVIS (NATS) ignition key IDs
can be carried out.
Regarding the procedures of IVIS (NATS) initialization and IVIS (NATS) ignition key ID registration, refer
to CONSULT-II operation manual, IVIS/NVIS.
IWhen servicing a malfunction of the IVIS (NATS) (indicated by lighting up of Security Indicator
Lamp) or registering another IVIS (NATS) ignition key ID no., it is necessary to re-register original
key identification. Therefore, be sure to receive ALL KEYS from vehicle owner.
System CompositionNBEL0172The immobiliser function of the IVIS (NATS) consists of the following:
IIVIS (NATS) ignition key
IIVIS (NATS) immobilizer control unit (IMMU) located in the ignition key cylinder

Cellular Airwave InterferenceNBEL0180S0308At times someone other than the Communicator Response Center
operator may be heard. This is caused by Cellular Airwave Inter-
ference and is not caused by an INFINITI Communicator system
malfunction.
Possibility of Positioning Capability DegradedNBEL0180S0309Vehicle positioning is accomplished using the GPS (Global Posi-
tioning System). If the signal from the GPS satellite is obstructed
by a tunnel or building, positioning capability may be degraded or
lost. In this case, the last valid position obtained before the obstruc-
tion is transmitted to the Communicator Response Center. The
precision is also influenced by the location of GPS satellites.
Once the battery cable is disconnected, it will take about 5 minutes
to determine the vehicle location. This is because the memory
related to GPS is lost when the battery cable is disconnected.
OPERATIONNBEL0180S04One Touch ªInformationº DialingNBEL0180S0401IIf the vehicle becomes disabled due to problems such as
engine trouble, press the ªInformationº switch to connect to the
Communicator Response Center and receive the desired ser-
vice.
IWhen the indicator lamp on the switch lights up, it means that
the system has started to contact the Communicator
Response Center. (Voice communication with Communicator
Response Center operator is not available while DATA is being
transmitted even if the indicator lamp is lit.)
IWhen the indicator lamp blinks, it means that the system is
preparing for cellular connection or attempting to re-dial.
One Touch ªMaydayº Emergency DialingNBEL0180S0402IWhen an emergency occurs, press the ªMaydayº emergency
switch to connect to the Communicator Response Center. With
this report, the Communicator Response Center recognizes
that an emergency has occurred and provides necessary ser-
vice.
IThe operator will request a password (if the customer chooses
to establish a password). If the wrong password or if no pass-
word is provided, the Communicator Response Center will
assume the customer is in a duress situation and dispatch
police.
IWhen no voice reply is heard from the vehicle or the sound
heard indicates an emergency situation, the Communicator
Response Center will have the police rush to the scene.
IOther operations are the same as service dialing.
Automatic Air Bag Inflation NotificationNBEL0180S0403IWhen an air bag inflates, the air bag diagnosis sensor unit
sends the air bag inflation signal to the IVCS unit, and the
system automatically dials the Communicator Response Cen-
ter to report the occurrence of an accident.
Stolen Vehicle TrackingNBEL0180S0404IWhen a vehicle is stolen, the owner can contact the Commu-
nicator Response Center to attempt to locate the stolen
vehicle. The Communicator Response Center will activate the
stolen vehicle tracking to locate the vehicle. If the Communi-
cator Response Center successfully locates the vehicle, they
will contact the police to provide the location.

vehicle sends electrical data including type of activation (i.e., emer-
gency call or alarm notification), vehicle location, time, etc.
SLEEP/WAKE UP CONTROLNBEL0180S063 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF, the system goes
into the SLEEP MODE to save battery power supply. Communica-
tion with Communicator Response Center is not available in the
SLEEP MODE.
To wake up the system, perform either of the following operations.

NOTE:
IWhen connection to Communicator Response Center by

when ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON and the
system performs a self check.
IIf both of MAYDAY and INFORMATION indicators do not
turn off 30 seconds or more after the ignition switch is
turned to ON, the system is malfunctioning.

SEL683V
System Description=NBEL0228OUTLINENBEL0228S01The Navigation System (Multi-AV System) relies upon three sens-
ing devices in order to determine vehicle location at regular time
intervals.
1. Vehicle speed sensor: Determines the distance the vehicle has
traveled.
2. Gyro (Angular velocity sensor): Determines vehicle steering
angle and directional change.
3. GPS antenna (GPS data): Determines vehicle forward move-
ment and direction.
The data provided by the three sensing functions together with a
comparison of the mapping information read from the CD-ROM
drive permit accurate determination of the vehicle's current location
and subsequent course (map matching). The information appears
on a liquid crystal display.
This comparison of GPS data (vehicle position sensing) and map
matching permits precise determination of vehicle location.
SEL684V
Position Sensor Operating PrinciplesNBEL0228S0101The sensor determines current vehicle location by calculating the
previously sensed position, the distance traveled from this position,
and the directional changes occurring during this travel.
1. Distance traveled
The distance traveled is calculated using signals received from
the vehicle speed sensor. The sensor automatically compen-
sates for the slightly reduced wheel and tire diameter resulting
from tire wear.
2. Forward movement (Direction)
Changes in the direction of forward movement are calculated
by the gyro (angular velocity sensor) and the GPS antenna
(GPS data). Each of these functions has its advantage and
disadvantages. Depending upon conditions, one function takes
precedence over the other to accurately determine the direc-
tion of forward movement.
Function type Advantage Disadvantage
Gyro (Angular
velocity sen-
sor)IAble to accurately detect
minute changes in steering
angle and direction.ICalculation errors may
accumulate over a long
period of continuous
vehicle travel.
GPS antenna
(GPS data)IAble to sense vehicle travel
in four general directions
(North, South, East, and
West)IUnable to detect direction
of vehicle travel at low
vehicle speeds.
