2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER ECU

The NISSAN Navigation System gives you a
choice of two map viewing styles, a normal
2-dimensional Plan View map and the
3-dimensional Birdview™ map. The 3-D
Birdview™ map depicts a geographic area as
seen from an elevated perspective, so you will
get a better feel for the route ahead.
For more information on the Birdview™ feature,
please refer to section 11.Route guidance is executed using voice and
screen instruction. When the vehicle ap-
proaches an intersection where you need to turn,
the voice guidance tells you the direction to take.
The system also has the following useful fea-
tures:
cEnlarged display of intersections.
cAutomatic rerouting when a vehicle is off the
course (when map is displayed) .
For more information on the Voice Guidance
feature, please refer to section 10.To make the NISSAN Navigation System easier
to use, there is a short menu function in which
the most commonly used items are listed. When
the indicator is illuminated, the short menus
(Easy Mode) are displayed. When the indicator
is turned off, the default navigation systems
menus (Expert Mode) are displayed.
INFO:
c[Easy Mode] is the default setting on the initial
screen at the delivery of your new vehicle.
