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.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONNJEL0516S02NAVI Control UnitNJEL0516S0201+The gyro (angular speed sensor) and the CD-ROM drive are
built-in units that control the navigation functions.
+Signals 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.
SEL506X
CD-ROM DriverNJEL0516S0202Maps, traffic control regulations, and other pertinent information
can be easily red from the CD-ROM disc.
Map CD-ROMNJEL0516S0203+The map CD-ROM has maps, traffic control regulations, and
other pertinent information.
+To 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)NJEL0516S0204+The oscillator gyro sensor is used to detect changes in vehicle
steering angle.
+The 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.
+The gyro is built into the navigation (NAVI) control unit.

8. More than one GPS satellite icon turns green. (It may take 1
to 15 minutes.)
NOTE:
Drive the vehicle for a while* in order to change the receiving
condition of the radio wave from the GPS satellite if the GPS
icon does not turn green.
* The driving distance which is necessary depends on the
receiving condition of the radio wave from the GPS satellite.
9. Push ªMAPº switch and check the following.
+Confirm that the GPS icon on the map turns green.
+Then the position marker should show the current location.

Possible cause Drive condition Service procedure
Opera-
tionDriving immediately after starting engine.The gyro (angular velocity sensor)
needs about 15 seconds after the
engine is started to precisely sense
the angular velocity.
Directional sensing errors will occur
if the vehicle is moved immediately
after starting the engine. The posi-
tion marker may indicate inaccurate
position.Wait a few moments
between starting the engine
and actually driving the
vehicle.
Continuous driving for long distances (non-stop)When the vehicle is driven continu-
ously without stopping over a long
distance, errors in directional sens-
ing may occur. The position marker
may indicate inaccurate position.Stop the vehicle. Perform
ªSpeed Calibrationº (EL-488).
Rough or violent drivingWheel spinning (peeling out) or simi-
lar rough driving techniques can
adversely affect sensing accuracy.
The position marker may indicate
inaccurate position.If the position marker does
not move to the correct posi-
tion even after the vehicle
has been driven approxi-
mately 10 km (6 miles), per-
form ªAdjust Current Loca-
tionº MODE (EL-496).

When calibrating the position, check
the vehicle direction. If the vehicle
direction is not correct, subsequent
