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.

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.
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
System Description
EL-386
for example, when the vehicle is in a tunnel, in a parking lot
inside building, under an elevated superhighway or near strong
power lines, the location may not be detected. Turbulent/
electric weather conditions may also affect positioning perfor-
mance. If something is placed on the antenna, the radio wave
from GPS satellites may not be received.
SEL688V
COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONNBEL0228S02Display & NAVI Control UnitNBEL0228S0201IThe gyro (angular speed sensor) and the CD-ROM drive are
built-in units that control the navigation functions.
ISignals are received from the gyro, the vehicle speed sensor,
and the GPS antenna. Vehicle location is determined by com-
bining this data with the data contained in the CD-ROM map.
Locational information is shown on liquid crystal display panel.
IFinger-operated touch switches are positioned on the liquid
crystal display panel for easy operation.
IThe touch switches used to control the equipment are beneath
a glass sheet and two resistance membranes at the top of the
liquid crystal display panel. The switches are sensitive to resis-
tance value where touched with your finger to detect operat-
ing status.
SEL689V
CD-ROM DriverNBEL0228S0202Maps, traffic control regulations, and other pertinent information
can be easily red from the CD-ROM disc.
NOTE:
IWhen removing the CD-ROM, allow it to remain open until the
liquid crystal display locks.
IThe liquid crystal display must be closed when the vehicle is
running.
IDo not place cups, cans or other containers containing liquids
on top of the liquid crystal display.
Map CD-ROMNBEL0228S0203IThe map CD-ROM has maps, traffic control regulations, and
other pertinent information.
ITo improve CD-ROM map matching and route determination
functions, the CD-ROM uses an exclusive Nissan format.
Therefore, the use of a CD-ROM provided by other manufac-
turers cannot be used.

SEL690V
Gyro (Angular Speed Sensor)NBEL0228S0204IThe oscillator gyro sensor is used to detect changes in vehicle
steering angle.
IThe oscillator gyro periodically senses oscillatory variation at
the oscillation terminals. This variation is caused by changes
in the vehicle angular velocity. Voltage variations are sensed
by ceramic voltage sensors at the left and right sides of the
terminals. Vehicle angular velocity corresponds directly with
these changes in voltage.
IThe gyro is built into the display & navigation (NAVI) control
unit.
