ABOUT THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This navigation system combines the data ob-
tained from the vehicle (by gyro sensor) and from
GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites to
calculate the current location of the vehicle. This
position is then displayed on the screen, allow-
ing route guidance to a destination.GPS is a system developed and operated by the
U.S. Government, covering the entire planet.
This navigation system receives three or more
different radio signals from NAVSTAR (GPS
satellites) , orbiting the earth 13,049 miles
(21,000 km) above ground. The data from differ-
ent sets of signals are trigonometrically calcu-
lated to obtain the position of the vehicle.
INFO:
The tracking center in the U.S. controls signals
transmitted from GPS satellites. This control
sometimes results in reduced accuracy or no
signal received at all, in accordance with govern-
ment requirements. Consequently, areas such as
military bases may not accurately appear on the
navigation screen.
ACCURACY OF POSITIONING
The color of the GPS Indicatoron the upper
left corner of the screen indicates positioning as
follows:
cGreen: positioning is possible and accurate
cYellow: positioning is possible but accuracy is
minimal
cGray: positioning is not possible
INFO:
For approximately 3 or 4 minutes after system
startup, the GPS indicator
remains gray,
even if accurate positioning is possible.

– 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 as OFF for a
ferry line, the route may be set on it. To
avoid this, set a waypoint on a road and
request calculation.
– Ferry lines, except those which accept
only pedestrians, bicycles and
motorcycles, are stored in this system.
When using them, take into consider-
ation the travel time required and opera-
tional condition to decide whether to use
them or not.
ABOUT THE DISPLAY ERROR
The following cases may affect the display accu-
racy of the vehicle’s position or travel direction.
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 stretch
of straight road or series of curves with a large
radius.
– When the vehicle is traveling in an area with a
checkerboard road system.– When the vehicle is making consecutive S
curves.
– When the vehicle is at a large Y-shaped
junction.
– When the vehicle is on a loop bridge.
– When the vehicle is on a snow-covered or un-
paved road.
– When the vehicle has made several consecu-
tive turns or zigzags.
– When the vehicle is rotated on a parking lot
turntable while the ignition switch is OFF.
– Immediately after the vehicle is driven out of a
parking garage or underground parking lot.
– When the vehicle has different sizes of tires or
tire chains.
– When the vehicle is moved immediately after
the engine is started.

Symptom Possible cause Remedy
The location of vehicle icon does not match the actual
position.Driving on slippery road surface. If the position marker does not move to the correct position
even after the vehicle has been driven approximately 6
miles (10 km) , adjust the current location. If necessary,
adjust the moving speed of the vehicle. If the symptom still
exists, contact your NISSAN dealer. Driving on slanted area.
Rough or violent driving. If the position marker does not move to the correct position
even after the vehicle has been driven approximately 6
miles (10 km) , adjust the current location.
GPS indicator remains gray. Please check the GPS indicator on the screen to see if it
remains gray. If it remains gray, drive the vehicle to a place
where the GPS can be received.
Because the vehicle has tire chains on, or the system was
transferred to a different vehicle, errors (gain or loss) result
in calculating the speed from the speed pulse.The location of the vehicle icon will move by driving the
vehicle for 30 minutes (in case it is running at 18-3/4
miles/hour (30 km/h)) . If you still notice errors, adjust mov-
ing speed. If the symptom still exists, contact your NISSAN
dealer.
The map data has an error or is incomplete (if the location
error always happens in the same area) .Please wait for the update of the Map DVD-ROM.
