2005 NISSAN 350Z ESP

INFO:
For approximately 3 or 4 minutes after system
startup, the GPS indicator
remains gray,
even if accurate positioning is possible.
POSITIONING ADJUSTMENTWhen the system judges that the vehicle posi-
tion information is not accurate based on vehicle
speed and gyro sensor data calculations, the
system will adjust the vehicle position informa-
tion using GPS signals.RECEIVING SIGNALS FROM GPS
SATELLITESSometimes, satellite reception is weak. The fol-
lowing are places where signals tend to be
weak:

Inside tunnels and parking garages

Areas with numerous tall buildings

Under multi-layered highways

In a dense forest
Vehicles in these areas may not receive GPS
signals (Indicator color: gray).INFO:
The antenna for GPS is located on the instru-
ment panel inside the vehicle.Do not place any
objects, especially mobile phones or trans-
ceivers, on the instrument panel. Because
the strength of the GPS signal is approximately
one billionth of that of TV waves; phones and
transceivers will decrease the strength or may
totally disrupt the signals.
DISPLAY OF GPS INFORMATIONThis system displays GPS information.
Please refer to “GPS information display” on
page 11-17.
NOTE:
Directional guidance provided by the navi-
gation system does not take carpool lane
driving into consideration, especially when
carpool lanes are separated from other
road lanes.This system is designed to help you reach your
destination, and also performs other functions as
outlined in this manual. However, you, the driver,
must use the system safely and properly. Infor-
mation concerning road conditions, traffic signs
and the availability of services may not always be
up-to-date. The system is not a substitute for
safe, proper, and legal driving.
Map data covers select metropolitan areas in the
United States.
Map data is available on map DVD-ROM. For
information about map DVD-ROMs, contact a
NISSAN dealer or call the NISSAN NAVIGA-
TION SYSTEM HELPDESK at 1-800-
NISSAN-1 (1-800-647-7261) for U.S., and at
1-800-777-0325 for CANADA.
Map data includes 2 types of areas: “Detailed
coverage areas” providing all detailed road data
and other areas showing “Main roads only”.
NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in many
areas and is generally limited to select
major metropolitan areas.
For information on which metropolitan areas are
in detailed coverage areas, please refer to the

04.7.6/Z33-N


The main feature of the NISSAN Navigation
System is Visual and Audio Route Guidance in
selected detailed map coverage areas. Utilizing
a network of GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites, the NISSAN Navigation System tracks
your location on the map and directs you where
you want to go.
Once you program a destination covered by a
detailed map, the NISSAN Navigation System
will determine a route from your current location
to your destination. The moving map display and
turn-by-turn voice commands help the driver
determine upcoming turns.
This feature can be especially helpful in finding
unfamiliar locations or businesses. The system
may be unable to set a destination and/or cal-
culate distance when a destination is outside a
detailed map coverage area. Additionally, audio
route guidance may not be available if the des-
tination is outside a detailed map coverage area.
For more information on how to program a
destination, please refer to section 5.The NISSAN Navigation System offers an exten-
sive Point of Interest directory in detailed map
coverage areas. This directory includes a wide
variety of destinations ranging from gas stations,
ATMs, and restaurants to casinos, ski resorts,
shopping centers and businesses. By accessing
the Point of Interest directory, you can search for
addresses and phone numbers for a destination,
and with a press of a button, the NISSAN
Navigation System will calculate a route to the
destination.
The Point of Interest directory offers many uses.
For example, the directory can be sorted by the
various types of restaurants near your current
location. If you need an ATM or gas station, the
NISSAN Navigation System can point you to the
closest one or the closest one of your favorite
brand.
For more information on how to use the Point of
Interest directory, please refer to section 6.Using the Address Book feature, you will have
the ability to store up to 50locations in detailed
map coverage areas into a personal directory.
This is especially useful for frequently visited
locations, such as your clients, relatives, or
friends. The Address Book feature will provide
you with easy access to frequently visited loca-
tions when setting them as your destination.

— The route may not connect completely at
some waypoints.
— The route may require a U-turn close to some
waypoints.

Route calculation may not be completed in
the following cases.
— If there is no main road within a range of 1.5
miles (2.5 km) from the vehicle, a message
saying so will appear on the screen. Try
requesting route calculation when the vehicle
is closer to the main road.
— If there is no main road within a range of 1.5
miles (2.5 km) from the destination or way-
point, a message saying so will appear on the
screen. Try setting the location closer to the
main road.
— If the vehicle is too close to the destination or
if there are no branches of the roads to the
destination. A message saying so will appear
on the screen.
— If it is deemed impossible to reach the des-
tination or waypoints because of traffic regu-
lations, etc.
— If the only route to reach the destination or
waypoints is extremely complicated.
— If the destination, current vehicle position or
waypoint is within the avoid area.— If the setting of avoid areas covers the routes
to the destination, route calculation may not
be possible.

The following may occur when the route is
being displayed.
— If you are requesting a calculation from the
main road, the origin of the route may not
exactly match the current vehicle position.
— If you are requesting a calculation to a des-
tination on the main road, the end of the route
may not exactly match the destination.
— If you are requesting a calculation from the
main road, the system may show a route from
another main road. This may be because the
icon to show the current vehicle position
(vehicle icon) is not set accurately. In that
case, park the car in a safe place and reset
the vehicle icon, or continue driving to see if
the vehicle icon appears on the main road
before requesting route calculation again.
— There are cases in which the system shows a
detoured route to reach the destination or
waypoints, if you set them from memory or
facility information. In order to correct this,
you will have to be careful about the traffic
direction, especially when the lanes with dif-
ferent travel directions are shown separately.Such places are interchanges and service
areas.
— This system makes no distinction between
limited traffic control and total control (block-
age). It may show a detoured route even if the
road is usable.
— Even if the freeway preference is set to OFF,
the route may be set on them. To avoid this,
set a waypoint on another road type and
request calculation.
— Even if the preference is set to OFF for a ferry
line, the route may be set on it. To avoid this,
set a waypoint on a road and request calcu-
lation.
— Ferry lines, except those which accept only
pedestrians, bicycles and motorcycles, are
stored in this system. When using them, take
into consideration the travel time required
and operational condition to decide whether
to use them or not.
ABOUT THE DISPLAY ERRORThe following cases may affect the display ac-
curacy of the vehicle’s position or travel direc-
tion. The accuracy will return to normal if the
driving conditions return to normal.
— When there is a similar road nearby.
— When the vehicle is traveling on a long
