Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ
between Plan view and Birdview
TM.This is because the quantity of the displayed information 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 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 pushed 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 icon 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 vehicle for a while
to automatically correct the position and direction of
the vehicle icon.
“CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATION”
(page 9-3)
When the vehicle is traveling on a 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 icon 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 head-
lights.The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights were turned on. Set the screen to the night screen mode using
<>(Day/Night) when you turn on the head-
lights.
“DISPLAY SETTINGS” (page 8-3)
The map does not scroll even when the
vehicle is moving.The current location map screen is not displayed. Push

Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
The location of the vehicle icon is
misaligned from the actual position.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 19
MPH for about 30 minutes) to automatically correct
the vehicle icon position.
If this does not correct the vehicle icon position,
contact a NISSAN dealer.
The map data has a mistake or is incomplete (the vehicle icon position is
always misaligned in the same area) .Updated road information will be included in the next
version of the map DVD-ROM.
