NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
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.
SKIB1058E
SEL684V
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.

Vehicle Signals
A comparison check can be made of each actual vehicle signal and
the signals recognized by the NAVI control unit.
Navigation
Steering Angle Adjustment
The steering angle output value detected by the gyroscope can be
adjusted.
Speed Calibration
Usually the automatic distance correction function adjusts the mal-
function in distance caused by the tires wearing down or the tire
pressure change. If prompt adjustment is necessary when the tire
chains are installed, etc., perform this procedure.

DVD-ROM
ROUTE CALCULATION AND VISUAL GUIDANCE
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 build-
ings, etc. Drive on an open, straight road for a while.
A sufficient amount of GPS satellites is not
available. Please wait for the satellites to move to loca-
tions available for the navigation system.
The location of the vehicle mark is
misaligned from the actual posi-
tion. When using tire chains or replacing the tires,
speed calculations based on the speed sensor
may be incorrect. Drive the vehicle for a while [at approximately
30 km/h (19 MPH) for about 30 minutes] to
automatically correct the vehicle's mark posi-
tion. If this does not correct the vehicle mark
position, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
The map data has a mistake or is incomplete
(the vehicle mark position is always misaligned
in the same area). Updated road information will be included in
the next version of the DVD-ROM.
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
The message “Error” appears. The DVD-ROM is dirty or partially damaged. Check the DVD-ROM and wipe it clean with a
soft cloth.
If any damage, replace the DVD-ROM.
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
In the auto re-route calculation,
waypoints are not included. Waypoints that you have already passed are
not included in the auto re-route calculation. To go to that waypoint again, it is necessary to
edit the route.
Route information is not dis-
played. Route calculation has not yet been performed.
Set the destination and perform route calcula-
tion.
Vehicle is not driving on the suggested route. Drive on the suggested route.
Route guidance is set to off. Turn on the route guidance.
The auto re-route calculation (or
detour calculation) suggests the
same route as the one previously
suggested. Route calculations took priority conditions into
consideration, but the same route was calcu-
lated. This is not a malfunction.
A waypoint cannot be added. Five waypoints are already set on the route,
including the ones that you have already
passed. A maximum of 5 waypoints can be set on the
route. If you want to go to 6 or more waypoints,
perform route calculations several times, as
necessary.
The suggested route is not dis-
played. Roads near the destination cannot be calcu-
lated. Reset the destination to a main or ordinary
road, and recalculate the route.
The starting point and destination are too close. Set a more distant destination.
The starting point and destination are too far
away. Divide your trip by selecting one or two inter-
mediate destinations, and perform a global
route calculation based on multiple route cal-
culations.
There are time restricted roads (day of week,
time) near the current vehicle location or desti-
nation. Set [Use Time Restricted Roads] to off.
The part of the route already
passed is deleted. A route is managed by sections between way-
points. If passing the first waypoint, the section
between the starting point and the waypoint is
deleted. (It may not be deleted depending on
the area.) This is not a malfunction.
