Example of Symptoms Judged Not MalfunctionEKS00GFC
BASIC OPERATION
VEHICLE MARK
SymptomCause Remedy
No image is shown. Display brightness adjustment is set fully to
DARK side. Adjust the display brightness.
No guide sound is heard.
Audio guide volume is too low or
too high. Volume control is set to OFF, MIN or MAX. Adjust the audio guide volume.
Audio guidance is not available while the vehicle
is driving on a dark pink route.
System is not malfunctioning.
Screen is too dark.
Motion of the image is too slow. Temperature inside the vehicle is low.
Wait until the temperature inside the vehicle
reaches the proper temperature.
Small black or bright spots appear
on the screen. Symptom peculiar to a liquid crystal display (dis-
play unit). System is not malfunction.
Symptom
Cause Remedy
Map screen and BIRDVIEW ™
Name of the place varies with the
screen. Some thinning of the character data is done to
prevent the display becoming to complex. In
some cases and in some locations, the display
contents may differ.
The same place name, street name, etc. may not
be displayed every time on account of the data
processing. System is not malfunctioning.
Vehicle mark is not positioned cor-
rectly. Vehicle is transferred by ferry or by towing after its
ignition switch is turned to OFF. Drive the vehicle for a while in the GPS sat-
ellite signal receiving condition.
Screen will not switch to nighttime
mode after the lighting switch is
turned ON. The daytime screen is selected by the
“SWITCH
SCREENS ” when the last time the screen dim-
ming setting is done.
Switching between daytime/nighttime screen may
be inhibited by the automatic illumination adjust-
ment function. Perform screen dimming and select the
nighttime screen by
“SWITCH SCREENS ”.
Map screen will not scroll in accor-
dance with the vehicle travel. Current location is not displayed.
Press “MAP ” button to display the current
location.
Vehicle mark will not be shown. Current location is not displayed. Press “MAP ” button to display the current
location.
Accuracy indicator (GPS satellite
mark) on the map screen stays
gray. GPS satellite signal is intercepted because the
vehicle is in or behind a building.
Move the vehicle out to an open space.
GPS satellite signal cannot be received because
an obstacle is placed on top of the instrument
panel. Do not place anything in the center on top of
the display.
GPS satellites are not visible from current loca-
tion. Wait until GPS satellites are visible by mov-
ing the vehicle.
Vehicle location accuracy is low. Accuracy indicator (GPS satellite mark) on the map screen stays gray. Current location is not determined.
Vehicle speed setting by the vehicle speed pulse
has been deviated (advanced or retarded) from
the actual vehicle speed because tire chain is fit-
ted or the system has been used on another vehi-
cle. Drive the vehicle for a while [for approx. 30
minutes at approx. 30 km/h (19 MPH)] and
the deviation will be automatically adjusted.
If advancement or retard still occur, perform
the distance adjustment by CONFIRMA-
TION/ADJUSTMENT mode of diagnosis
function.
Map data has error or omission. (Vehicle mark is
always deviated to the same position.) As a rule, an updated map DVD
–ROM will
be released once a year.

Revision: November 20092006 QX56
80845-71L00: 30 mm (1.18 in) thick, 30×50 mm (1.18 ×1.97 in)
FELT CLOTH TAPE
Used to insulate where movement does not occur. Ideal for instrument panel applications.
68370-4B000: 15 ×25 mm (0.59 ×0.98 in) pad/68239-13E00: 5 mm (0.20 in) wide tape roll. The following
materials not found in the kit can also be used to repair squeaks and rattles.
UHMW (TEFLON) TAPE
Insulates where slight movement is present. Ideal for instrument panel applications.
SILICONE GREASE
Used instead of UHMW tape that will be visible or not fit.
Note: Will only last a few months.
SILICONE SPRAY
Use when grease cannot be applied.
DUCT TAPE
Use to eliminate movement.
CONFIRM THE REPAIR
Confirm that the cause of a noise is repaired by test driving the vehicle. Operate the vehicle under the same
conditions as when the noise originally occurred. Refer to the notes on the Diagnostic Worksheet.
Generic Squeak and Rattle TroubleshootingEIS00627
Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
Most incidents are caused by contact and movement between:
1. The cluster lid A and instrument panel
2. Acrylic lens and combination meter housing
3. Instrument panel to front pillar garnish
4. Instrument panel to windshield
5. Instrument panel mounting pins
6. Wiring harnesses behind the combination meter
7. A/C defroster duct and duct joint
These incidents can usually be located by tapping or moving the components to duplicate the noise or by
pressing on the components while driving to stop the noise. Most of these incidents can be repaired by apply-
ing felt cloth tape or silicone spray (in hard to reach areas). Urethane pads can be used to insulate wiring har-
ness.
CAUTION:
Do not use silicone spray to isolate a squeak or rattle. If you saturate the area with silicone, you will
not be able to recheck the repair.
CENTER CONSOLE
Components to pay attention to include:
1. Shifter assembly cover to finisher
2. A/C control unit and cluster lid C
3. Wiring harnesses behind audio and A/C control unit
The instrument panel repair and isolation procedures also apply to the center console.
DOORS
Pay attention to the:
1. Finisher and inner panel making a slapping noise
2. Inside handle escutcheon to door finisher
3. Wiring harnesses tapping
4. Door striker out of alignment causing a popping noise on starts and stops
Tapping or moving the components or pressing on them while driving to duplicate the conditions can isolate
many of these incidents. You can usually insulate the areas with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks from
the NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) to repair the noise.
