STARTING THE SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
1. Turn ignition switch from OFF to ACC.
2. Within 10 seconds press and hold the switches “MEMORY 1”
and “MEMORY 6” simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Then the self-diagnosis operates. A single beep indicates self-
diagnosis mode is active.
3. Press each switch and listen for beep.
NOTE:
CD player LOAD and EJECT buttons are not included in this test
and will not beep when pressed.
EXITING THE SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
Turn ignition switch OFF. Then the self-diagnosis ends.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
• It can check for continuity of the switches by sounding the beep when each AV switch and steering switch is
pressed.
• It can check for continuity of harness between AV switch and steering switch.

NOTE:
1. The following noise results from variations in field strength, such as fading noise and multi-path noise, or
external noise from trains and other sources. It is not a malfunction.
• Fading noise: This noise occurs because of variations in the field strength in a narrow range due to moun-
tains or buildings blocking the signal.
• Multi-path noise: This noise results from the waves sent directly from the broadcast station arriving at the
antenna at a different time from the waves which reflect off mountains or buildings.

Noise InspectionINFOID:0000000003533674
The vehicle itself can be a source of noise if noise prevention parts or electrical equipment is malfunctioning.
Check if noise is caused and/or changed by engine speed, ignition switch turned to each position, and opera-
tion of each piece of electrical equipment, and determine the cause.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Map-matching is a function that repositions the vehicle on the road
map when a new location is judged to be the most accurate. This is
done by comparing the current vehicle position, calculated by the
method described in the position detection principle, with the road
map data around the vehicle, read from the map DVD-ROM stored in
the DVD-ROM drive.
Therefore, the vehicle position may not be corrected after the vehicle
is driven over a certain distance or time in which GPS information is
hard to receive. In this case, the current-location mark on the display
must be corrected manually.
CAUTION:
The road map data is based on data stored in the map DVD-
ROM.
• In map-matching, alternative routes to reach the destination will be
shown and prioritized, after the road on which the vehicle is cur-
rently driven has been judged and the current-location mark has
been repositioned.
If there is an error in distance and/or direction, the alternative
routes will be shown in different order of priority, and the wrong
road can be avoided.
If two roads are running in parallel, they are of 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 the road on which
the vehicle is driving is new and not recorded in the map DVD-
ROM, or when the 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-matching
function may find another road and position the current-location
mark on it. Then, when the correct road is detected, the current-
location mark may leap to it.
• Effective range for comparing the vehicle position and travel direc-
tion calculated by the distance and direction with the road data
read from the map DVD-ROM is limited. Therefore, when there is
an excessive gap between the current vehicle position and the
position on the map, correction by map-matching is not possible.
GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
GPS (Global Positioning System) has been developed and con-
trolled by the US Department of Defense. The system utilizes GPS
satellite (NAVSTAR), sending out radio waves while flying on an orbit
around the earth at the height of approx. 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 by using radio waves from four or more GPS satel-
lites (two-dimensional positioning).
Accuracy of the GPS will deteriorate under the following conditions.
• In two-dimensional positioning, the GPS accuracy will deteriorate when the altitude of the vehicle position
changes.
• There may be an error of approximately 10 m (30 ft) in position detected by three-dimensional positioning,
which is more accurate than two-dimensional positioning. The accuracy can be even lower depending on the
arrangement of the GPS satellites utilized for the positioning.
• Position detection is not possible when the 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.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
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 combining this
data with the data contained in the DVD-ROM map. Location infor-
mation is shown on liquid crystal display (display unit).
• Maps, traffic control regulations, and other pertinent information
can be easily read from the DVD-ROM disc.
• The oscillator gyro sensor is used to detect changes in vehicle
steering angle.
Map DVD-ROM
• The map 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.
Display Control Unit
The display control unit coordinates audio and video signals between the NAVI control unit and the display
unit.
Display Unit
Displays NAVI system information.
AV Switch
AV switch allows user to input NAVI display settings. Self diagnostics are initiated using AV switch.
GPS Antenna
GPS antenna sends signals to NAVI control unit.
