FOREWORD
This manual contains maintenance and repair procedures for the NISSAN
NAVARA,modelD40 series.
In order to assure your safety and the efficient functioning of the vehicle,
this manual should be read thoroughly. It is especially important that the
PRECAUTIONS in the GI section be completely understood before starting
any repair task.
All information in this manual is based on the latest product information
at the time of publication. The right is reserved to make changes in speci-
fications and methods at any time without notice.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The proper performance of service is essential for both the safety of the
technician and the efficient functioning of the vehicle.
The service methods in this Service Manual are described in such a man-
ner that the service may be performed safely and accurately.
Service varies with the procedures used, the skills of the technician and the
tools and parts available. Accordingly, anyone using service procedures,
tools or parts which are not specifically recommended by NISSAN must
first be completely satisfied that neither personal safety nor the vehicle's
safety will be jeopardized by the service method selected.

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.

GPS ANTENNA
lGPS antenna (1)
lDisplay (2)
The GPS antenna receives and amplifies the radio waves from the
GPS satellites, and then transmits the GPS signal to NAVI control
unit.
DISPLAY UNIT
lImages on the display include RGB image such as map screen
and rear-view image displayed when set the select lever to R
range.
lNAVI control unit controls images on the display.
AV S W I T C H
For operation panel, centralized switch integrated with the audio and
NAVI operation has been adopted. The operation signal is sent to
NAVI control unit via communication.

BASIC OPERATION
NOTE:
Locations stored in the Address Book and other memory functions may be lost if the vehicle's battery is disconnected or becomes dis-
charged. If this occurs, service the vehicle's battery as necessary and re-enter the information in the Address Book.
VEHICLE ICON
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
No image is displayed.The brightness is at the lowest setting. Adjust the brightness of the display.
The display is turned off.
Press and hold to turn on the display.
No voice guidance is available.
The volume is too high or too low.The volume is not set correctly, or it is turned off. Adjust the volume of voice guidance.
Volume guidance is not provided for narrow streets
(roads displayed in gray).This is not a malfunction.
No map is displayed on the screen.The map DVD-ROM is not inserted, or it is inserted
upside down.Insert the map DVD-ROM correctly.
A screen other than map screen is displayed. Press “MAP”.
Thescreenistoodim.
The movement is slow.The temperature in the interior of the vehicle is low.Wait until the interior of the vehicle has
warmed up.
Some pixels in the display are
darker or brighter than others.This condition is an inherent characteristic of liquid
crystal displays.This is not a malfunction.
Some menu items cannot be
selected.Some menu items become unavailable while the
vehicle is driven.Park the vehicle in a safe location, and
then operate the navigation system.
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations dif-
fer between Plan view and Bird-
view™.This is because the quantity of the displayed infor-
mation is reduced so that the screen does not
become too crowded. There is also a chance that
names of the roads or locations may be displayed
multiple times, and the names appearing on the a
screen may be different because of a processing
procedure.This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle icon is not displayed in
the correct position.The vehicle was transported after the ignition switch
was turned off, for example, by a ferry or car trans-
porter.Drive the vehicle for a while on a road
whereGPScanbereceived.
The position and direction of the vehicle may be
incorrect depending on the driving environments and
the levels of positioning accuracy of the navigation
system.This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehi-
cle for a while to automatically correct the
position and direction of the vehicle icon.
Whenthevehicleistravellingona
new road, the vehicle icon is
located on another road nearby.Because the new road is not stored in the map data,
the system automatically places the vehicle ion on
the nearest road available.Updated road information will be included
in the next version of the map DVD-ROM.
The screen does not switch to the
night screen even after turning on
the headlights.The daytime screen was set the last time the head-
lights were turned on.Set the screen to the night screen mode
using when turning on the headlights.
The map does not scroll even
when the vehicle is moving.The current location map screen is not displayed. Press “MAP”.
The vehicle icon is not displayed. The current location map screen is not displayed. Press “MAP”.
The GPS indicator on the screen
remains gray.GPS signals cannot be received depending on the
vehicle location, such as in a parking garage, on a
road that has numerous tall buildings, etc.Drive on an open, straight road for a
while.
GPS signals cannot be received because objects
are placed on the rear parcel shelf.Remove the objects from the rear parcel
shelf.
A sufficient amount of GPS satellites are not avail-
able.Wait for the satellites to move locations
available for navigation system.
