Personal Audio Setting
The radio is designed to store several settings (volume, bass, treble, preset stations) with every NATS ignition
key used. Up to a maximum of 4 NATS keys can be registered. During the communication mentioned under
“Anti-Theft System”, the radio will recognize the used ignition key and select the accompanying settings.
VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEM
lThe status of audio system, fuel consumption, rear view monitor and navigation system are displayed.
lNAVI control unit receives the data signal from ECM, combination meter via CAN communication. It calcu-
lates the values of fuel economy, and trip computer from the received information and displays them.
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Refer to Owner's Manual or navigation system Owner's Manual for navigation system operating instructions.
Location Detection Principle
The navigation system periodically calculates the vehicle's current
position according to the following three signals:
lTravel distance of the vehicle as determined by the vehicle
speed sensor
lTurning angle of the vehicle as determined by the gyroscope
(angular velocity sensor)
lDirection of vehicle travel as determined by the GPS antenna
(GPS information)
The current position of the vehicle is then identified by comparing the
calculated vehicle position with map data read from the map DVD-
ROM, which is stored in the DVD-ROM drive (map-matching), and
indicated on the screen as a vehicle mark. More accurate data is judged and used by comparing vehicle posi-
tion detection results found by the GPS with the result by map-matching.
The current vehicle position will be calculated by detecting the dis-
tance the vehicle moved from the previous calculation point and its
direction.
lTravel distance
Travel distance calculations are based on the vehicle speed
sensor input signal. Therefore, the calculation may become
incorrect as the tires wear down. To prevent this, an automatic
distance correction function has been adopted.
lTravel direction
Change in the travel direction of the vehicle is calculated by a
gyroscope (angular velocity sensor) and a GPS antenna (GPS
information). They have both advantages and disadvantages.
More accurate traveling direction is detected because priorities are set for the signals from these two
devices according to the situation.
No communication from IMMU to radio 1. If NATS is malfunctioning, check NATS
system.
2. After NATS is repaired, reset radio to
NEW state by authorized representative
of Clarion.After switching on the radio, the radio will
display “SECURE” after 1 minute. Further
use of radio is impossible until communica-
tion is established again, or after radio is
reset by authorized representative of Clar-
ion.
When initialized between ECM and IMMU. Radio needs to be reset to NEW status by
authorized representative of Clarion.After switching on the radio, it will display
“SECURE” after 1 minute. Item Service procedure Description

GPS (Global Positioning System)
GPS (Global Positioning System) was developed for and is con-
trolled by the US Department of Defense. The system utilizes GPS
satellites (NAVSTAR), sending out radio waves while flying on an
orbit around the earth at an altitude of approximately 21,000 km
(13,000 miles).
The GPS receiver calculates the vehicle's position in three dimen-
sions (latitude/longitude/altitude) according to the time lag of the
radio waves received from four or more GPS satellites (three-dimen-
sional positioning). If radio waves were received only from three
GPS satellites, the GPS receiver calculates the vehicle's position in
two dimensions (latitude/longitude), utilizing the altitude data calcu-
lated previously with radio waves from four or more GPS satellites
(two-dimensional positioning).
Position correction by GPS is not available while the vehicle is stopped.
Accuracy of GPS will deteriorate under the following conditions:
lIn two-dimensional positioning, GPS accuracy will deteriorate when altitude of the vehicle position
changes.
lThe accuracy can be even lower depending on the arrangement of the GPS satellites utilized for the posi-
tioning.
lPosition detection is not possible when vehicle is in an area where radio waves from the GPS satellite do
not reach, such as in a tunnel, parking lot in a building, and under an elevated highway. Radio waves from
the GPS satellites may not be received when some object is located over the GPS antenna.
NOTE:
lEven a high-precision three dimensional positioning, the detection result has an error about 10 m (33 ft).
lBecause the signals of GPS satellite is controlled by the Tracking and Control Center in the United States,
the accuracy may be degraded lower intentionally or the radio waves may stop.
Traffic Information (RDS-TMC)
NOTE:This system is built-in NAVI control unit.
The Traffic Information broadcast allows to you to avoid delays due to traffic incidents.
Traffic jams, roadwork, closed roads around your current location, etc. are represented graphically on the map
by icons depicting the nature of the event.
Incidents on the route are automatically brought to your attention when they are approached.
The Traffic Information feature gives you the opportunity to forecast traffic incidents, determine how serious
they are and, via the guidance mode, allows you to detour around traffic incidents.
The navigation system receives traffic information from best available sources and enables the RDS-TMC
(Radio Data System-Traffic Information Channel) to inform and guide you.
The RDS-TMC broadcast is fed by a dedicated FM tuner so that you can still tune your radio station while Traf-
fic Information is being broadcasted.
HANDS-FREE PHONE
lNAVI control unit has Bluetooth module. It can perform wireless hands-free telephone calls using a cellu-
lar phone in vehicle compartment.
l5 or more portable phones can be registered into the NAVI control unit.

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EFS006DM
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
lTo avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for Brake SystemEFS005TG
lRecommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.If brake fluid is splashed, wipe it off and flush area
with water immediately.
lNever use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
lUse flare nut wrench when removing flare nuts, and use a flare
nut torque wrench when tighten flare nuts.
lBrake system is an important safety part.If a brake fluid leak is
detected, always disassemble the affected part.If a malfunction
is detected, replace part with new one.
lBefore working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect con-
nector of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or the bat-
tery cables.
lWhen installing brake tube and hose, be sure to torque.
WARNING:
Clean brake pads and shoes with a waster cloth, then wipe with
a dust collector.
Precautions for Brake ControlEFS005TH
lJust after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may
be heard from engine room. This is a normal status of operation check.
lStopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel,
or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
lWhen an error is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from cus-
tomer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and check for simple causes before starting
diagnostic servicing. Besides electrical system inspection, check brake booster operation, brake fluid
level, and fluid leaks.
lIf tyre size and type are used in an improper combination, or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts,
stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
lIf there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near control module, ABS function
may have a malfunction or error.
lIf aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.
