NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Location Detection Principle
The navigation system periodically calculates the vehicle's current
position according to the following three signals:

Travel distance of the vehicle as determined by the vehicle
speed sensor

Turning angle of the vehicle as determined by the gyroscope
(angular velocity sensor)

Direction 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 DVD-ROM,
which is stored in the DVD-ROM drive (map-matching), and indi-
cated on the screen as a current-location mark. More accurate data is judged and used by comparing vehicle
position 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.

Travel 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.

Travel 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 selected because priorities are set for the signals from these two
devices according to the situation.

Type Advantage Disadvantage
Gyroscope (angular velocity sen-
sor) Can detect the vehicle's turning angle quite
accurately. Direction errors may accumulate when vehicle is
driven for long distances without stopping.
GPS antenna (GPS information) Can detect the vehicle's travel direction
(North/South/East/West). Correct direction cannot be detected when vehi-
cle speed is low.

Map-Matching
Map-matching compares a current location detected by the method
in the “Location Detection Principle” with a road map data from DVD-
ROM stored in DVD-ROM drive.
NOTE:
The road map data is based on data stored in the DVD-ROM.
The vehicle position may not be corrected under the following circumstances and after driving for a certain
time when GPS information is difficult to receive. In this case, the current-location mark on the display must be
corrected manually.

In map-matching, alternative routes are prepared and prioritized
in addition to the road judged currently driven. Due to the dis-
tance and/or direction error, the incorrect road may be prioritized
and current-location mark may be repositioned to the wrong
road.
When two roads are running in parallel, they are judged to the
same priority. Therefore, the current-location mark may appear
on either of them alternately, depending on maneuvering of the
steering wheel and configuration of the road.

Map-matching does not function correctly when a road on which
the vehicle is driving is new and not recorded in the DVD-ROM,
or when road pattern stored in the map data and the actual road
pattern are different due to repair.
When driving on a road not present in the map, the map-match-
ing function may find another road and position the current-loca-
tion mark on it. Then, when the correct road is detected, the
current-location mark may change to it.

Effective range for comparing the vehicle position and travel
direction calculated by the distance and direction with the road
data read from the DVD-ROM is limited. Therefore, when there
is an excessive gap between current vehicle position and the
position on the map, correction by map-matching is not possible.

Component DescriptionNKS003K1
NAVI CONTROL UNIT

The gyro (angular speed sensor) and the DVD-ROM drive are
built-in units that control the navigation functions.

Signals are received from the gyro, the vehicle speed sensor,
and the GPS antenna. Vehicle location is determined by com-
bining this data with the data contained in the DVD-ROM map.
Locational information is shown on liquid crystal display panel.
DVD-ROM Drive
Maps, traffic control regulations, and other pertinent information can
be easily read from the DVD-ROM.
DVD-ROM

The DVD-ROM has maps, traffic control regulations, and other pertinent information.

To improve DVD-ROM map matching and route determination functions, the DVD-ROM uses an exclusive
Nissan format. Therefore, the use of a DVD-ROM provided by other manufacturers cannot be used.
Gyro (Angular Speed Sensor)

The oscillator gyro sensor is used to detect changes in vehicle steering angle.

The gyro is built into the navigation (NAVI) control unit.
GPS ANTENNA
The GPS antenna receives and amplifies the radio waves from the GPS satellites, and then transmits the GPS
signal to NAVI control unit.
DISPLAY CONTROL UNIT

Display control unit draws a status of the audio and air condi-
tioner, a TRIP screen, a FUEL ECONOMY screen, etc., and
transmits the image signals to the display screen.

It receives operation signals of audio and air conditioner from A/
C and AV switch, and transmits the operation signal of audio to
the audio unit via the communication line and transmits the
operation signal of air conditioner to the meter and A/C amp. via
CAN communication.

BASIC OPERATIONS
NOTE:
Locations stored in the Address Book and other memory functions may be lost if the vehicle's battery is disconnected or is disc harged. If
this occurs, service the vehicle's battery as necessary and re-enter the information in the Address Book.
VEHICLE MARKS
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 the button 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.
No map is displayed on the
screen. The DVD-ROM is not inserted, or it is inserted
upside down. Insert the DVD-ROM correctly.
A screen other than map screen is displayed. Press the “MAP” button.
The pickup lens of the DVD unit is dirty. The pickup lens can become dirty depending
on the usage of the vehicle. Contact a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop for pickup lens
cleaning.
The screen is too dim.
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, then oper-
ate 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
information is reduced so that the screen does
not become difficult to read. There is also a
chance that names of the roads or locations
may be displayed several times, and the names
appearing on the screen may be different
because of a processing procedure. This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle mark 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 transporter. Drive the vehicle for a while on a road where
GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle mark
may be incorrect depending on the driving envi-
ronments and the levels of positioning accuracy
of the navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for
a while to automatically correct the position
and direction of the vehicle mark.
When the vehicle is travelling on a
new road, the vehicle mark is
located on another road nearby. The system automatically places the vehicle
mark on the nearest available road, because
the new road is not stored in the map data. Updated road information will be included in
the next version of the 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
headlights were turned on. Set the screen to the night screen mode using
button when turning on the headlights.
The map does not scroll even
when the vehicle is moving. The current location map screen is not dis-
played. Press the “MAP” button.
The vehicle mark is not displayed. The current location map screen is not dis-
played. Press the “MAP” button.
