2001 INFINITI QX4 ECO mode

GPS signal reception conditions are good. However, the position mark does not return to its proper
position.
Ihe system senses the vehicle location with an error of approximately 100 m (328 ft). Due to the limitation
of precision, the position marker may be inaccurate even if the GPS signal reception condition is good.
IThe navigation system uses GPS data to determine vehicle location. GPS data is compared with other
locational sensing data during the map matching process. The system decides which data is more pre-
cise and uses that data.
IWhen the vehicle is stationary, GPS data cannot be used to make system corrections.
Area designations on the map display and the BIRDVIEWTdisplay differ.
To prevent the display from becoming congested, alphanumeric information is abridged.
[No problem]
Correct position of your vehicle is not displayed.
Vehicle position changed after ignition key was turned to the OFF position (Vehicle is transported on car ferry,
car train, or by some other means).
[Operate vehicle for short time under GPS receiving conditions.]
The display does not change to night-time mode even though the light switch has been turned ON.
Lights have been turned on. In ªDISPLAY CHANGEº mode, night-time mode on display has been switched to
day-time mode and still is.
[Turn lights on again. Set the display to night-time mode. Refer to EL-412.]
Map does not scroll even though the position of your vehicle is changed.
Present area does not appear on the display.
[Press the ªMAPº switch.]
Vehicle position marker does not appear.
Present area does not appear on the display.
[Press the ªMAPº switch.]
The map surface precision display (GPS satellite marker) still remains gray.
Vehicle is parked inside a building or in the shadow of a large building. This intercepts the GPS signal.
[Move the vehicle to a more open position.]
GPS signal is not received because objects are placed on the rear parcel shelf.
[Remove objects from the rear parcel shelf.]
GPS satellite position is bad.
[Wait until GPS satellite position improves.]
Vehicle position precision is bad.
The map surface precision display (GPS satellite marker) still remains gray.
[Refer to ªThe map surface precision display (GPS satellite marker) still remains grayº item (Symptoms)]
Vehicle speed and elapsed distance is calculated from the vehicle speed pulse. This pulse is dependent upon
tire size. If tire chains are used on the vehicle, accuracy will be affected (pulse rate will be too fast or too slow).
The same is true if the system installed to your vehicle is removed and installed on another vehicle.
[Drive the vehicle at a speed higher than 30 km/h (19 MPH) for approximately 30 minutes. Automatic read-
justment should occur. If it does not (remains too fast or too slow), distance calibration is required. Or, drive
the vehicle for a short distance. Perform ªSPEED CALIBRATIONº (EL-409). After removing the tire chains,
sensing accuracy may recover by itself.]
Bad map data or system defect (same error consistently occurs in the same area)
ROUTE SEARCH/ROUTE GUIDENBEL0235S03IIf the present location or the destination location is displayed in the avoid area, it is not possible to search
routes.
IIf the avoid area is set to wide range area, it may not be possible to find appropriate routes or search for
alternate routes.
IThe automatic re-route calculates a return to the original route. Because of this, it may not be possible to
search appropriate new routes. If you deviate from the original route and wish to select an appropriate new
route, touch ªRoute Calculationº.
IThe automatic re-route function may sometimes require considerable time.
IDisplayed route number and directional information at a highway junction may differ from the information
posted on the actual road signs.
IDisplayed street name information at a highway exit may differ from the information posted on the actual
road signs.
IStreet name information displayed on the enlarged intersection map may differ from the information posted
on the actual road signs.

IThe enlarged intersection map may display an ªUnknown Streetº message at some street intersections.
IBecause of road configuration, etc. the guide may finish early. If this occurs, follow the marker to reach
your destination.
IDestination area side information (left side and right side) may differ from actual conditions because of

InitializationNBEL0237This procedure is for initializing the current location. Perform ªIni-
tialize Locationº when the vehicle is transported a long distance by
trailer, etc.
Map with grey background appears and the vehicle location can-
not be adjusted by scrolling the display when the vehicle location
in the memory is out of the area of the inserted map data.
Perform ªInitialize Locationº when this occurs.
NOTE:
IOnly initialize the system when the display & NAVI control
unit is replaced. If the system is initialized in other cases,
it may cause inaccurate positioning of the position marker
for a while.
IInitialize the system outside for receiving the radio wave
from the GPS satellite.

HOW TO PERFORMNBEL0237S011. Switch the navigation system mode to self-diagnosis by push-
ing both ªMAPº and ªD/Nº switches at the same time for more
than 5 seconds.

2WD MODELSNBGI0008S0402INFINITI recommends that vehicle be towed with the driving (rear)
wheels off the ground as illustrated.
CAUTION:
IWhen towing manual or automatic transmission models
with the front wheels on the ground: Turn the ignition key
to the OFF position and secure the steering wheel in a
straightahead position with a rope or similar device. Never
place the ignition key in the LOCK position. This will result
in damage to the steering lock mechanism.
IWhen towing manual transmission models with the rear
wheels on the ground or four wheels on the ground (if you
do not use towing dollies): Always release the parking
brake and move the transmission shift lever to the N (neu-
tral) position.
Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.
Manual transmission models:
ISpeed: Below 95 km/h (60 MPH)
IDistance: Less than 800 km (500 miles)
If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, remove the
propeller shaft beforehand to prevent damage to the transmission.
SGI950
4WD MODELSNBGI0008S0403INFINITI recommends that a dolly or a flat bed truck be used as
illustrated when towing all-mode 4WD models.

SERVICE COUPLERSNBHA0006S06Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to
an CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers
will not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if
an improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamina-
tion may occur.

REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALENBHA0006S07Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. If the scale controls
refrigerant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2²-16
ACME.
CALIBRATING ACR4 WEIGHT SCALENBHA0006S09Calibrate the scale every three months.
To calibrate the weight scale on the ACR4 (J-39500-INF):
1. PressShift/ResetandEnterat the same time.
2. Press8787.ªA1º will be displayed.
3. Remove all weight from the scale.
4. Press0, then pressEnter.ª0.00º will be displayed and change
to ªA2º.
5. Place a known weight (dumbbell or similar weight), between
4.5 and 8.6 kg (10 and 19 lb) on the center of the weight scale.
6. Enter the known weight using four digits. (Example 10 lb =
10.00, 10.5 lb = 10.50)
7. PressEnterÐ the display returns to the vacuum mode.
8. PressShift/ResetandEnterat the same time.
9. Press6Ð the known weight on the scale is displayed.
10. Remove the known weight from the scale. ª0.00º will be dis-
played.
11. PressShift/Resetto return the ACR4 to the program mode.
CHARGING CYLINDERNBHA0006S08Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be
vented into air from cylinder's top valve when filling the cylinder
with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less
than that of an electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge
equipment.
