< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS >[AUDIO SYSTEM]
AUDIO SYSTEM
The audio system consists of the following components
• AV control unit
• Display unit
• BOSE speaker amp.
• Window antenna
• Steering wheel audio control switches
• A/C and AV switch assembly
• Rear audio and remote control unit
• Front door speakers
• Front tweeters
• Center speaker
• Rear door speakers
• Rear door tweeters
• Back door speakers
• Subwoofer
When the audio system is on, radio signals are receiv
ed by the window antenna. The AV control unit then
sends audio signals to the BOSE speaker amp. The BO SE speaker amp. amplifies the audio signals before
sending them to the front door speakers, front tweeters, center speaker, rear door speakers, rear door tweet-
ers, back door speakers and the subwoofer.
Refer to Owner's Manual for audio system operating instructions.
SATELLITE RADIO SYSTEM
The satellite radio system consists of the following components
• Satellite antenna
• AV control unit
When the satellite radio system is on, radio signals are supplied to the AV contro l unit from the satellite
antenna. The AV control unit then sends audio signals to the BOSE speaker amp.
Refer to Owner's Manual for satellite radio system operating instructions.
SPEED SENSITIVE VOLUME SYSTEM
Volume level of this system goes up and down automatically in proportion to the vehicle speed. The control
level can be selected by the customer. Refer to Owner's Manual for operating instructions.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM
MAP–MATCHING
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 data stored on the
HDD.
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 on the HDD.
• In map-matching, alternative rout
es 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 on the HDD, or when
the road pattern stored in the m ap 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 HDD is limited. Therefore, when there is an exces-
sive 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 wa ves from four or more GPS satel-
lites (two-dimensional positioning).
Type Advantage Disadvantage
Gyroscope (angular velocity sensor) • Can detect the vehicle's turning angle quite
accurately. • Direction errors may accumulate when the ve-
hicle is driven for long distances without stop-
ping.
GPS antenna (GPS information) • Can detect the vehicle's travel direction
(North/South/East/West). • Correct direction cannot be detected when the
vehicle speed is low.

Refer to the Owner's Manual for Bluetoot
h telephone system operating instructions.
NOTE:
Cellular telephones must have their wireless connection set up (paired) before using the Bluetooth telephone
system.
Bluetooth telephone system allows users who have a Bluetooth equipped cellular telephone to make a wire-
less connection between their cellular telephone and the AV control unit. Hands-free cellular telephone calls
can be sent and received. Personal memos can be created using the Nissan Voice Recognition system. Some
Bluetooth cellular telephones may not be recognized by t he AV control unit. When a cellular telephone or the
AV control unit is replaced, the telephone must be pair ed with the AV control unit. Different cellular telephones
may have different pairing procedures. Refer to the cellular telephone operating manual and the vehicle
Owner’s Manual for more information.
AV CONTROL UNIT
When the ignition switch is turned to ACC or ON, the AV control unit will power up. During power up, the Blue-
tooth feature is initialized and performs various self checks. Initialization may take up to 10 seconds. If a
phone is present in the vehicle and paired with the AV control unit, Nissan Voice Recognition will then become
active. Bluetooth telephone functions can be turned off using the Nissan Voice Recognition system.
STEERING WHEEL AUDIO CONTROL SWITCHES
When buttons on the steering wheel audio control switch are pushed, the resistance in steering wheel audio
control switch circuit changes depending on which button is pushed. The AV control unit uses this signal to
perform various functions while navigati ng through the voice recognition system.
The following functions can be performed using the steering wheel audio control switch:
• Initiate Self Diagnosis of the Bluetooth telephone system
• Start a voice recognition session
• Answer and end telephone calls
• Adjust the volume of calls
• Record memos
MICROPHONE
The microphone is located in the roof console assembly . The microphone sends a signal to the AV control unit.
The microphone can be actively tested during self-diagnosis.

< SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS >[AUDIO SYSTEM]
NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION
- Because calculation of the current location cannot be
done when traveling with the ignition off, for example
when traveling by ferry or when being towed, the location before travel is displayed. If the precise location
can be detected with GPS, the location will be corrected.
Vehicle Mark Jumps
In the following cases, the vehicle mark may appear to ju mp as a result of automatic correction of the current
location.
• When map matching has been done
- If the current location and the vehicle mark are diff erent when map matching is done, the vehicle mark may
seem to jump. At this time, the location may be “corre cted” to the wrong road or to a location which is not on
a road.
• When GPS location correction has been done
- If the current location and the vehicle mark are different when the location is corrected using GPS measure-
ments, the vehicle mark may seem to jump. At this time, the location may be “corrected” to a location which
is not on a road.
Vehicle Mark is in a River or Sea
The navigation system moves the vehicle mark with no distinction between land and rivers or sea. If the vehi-
cle mark is somehow out of place, it may appear that the vehicle is driving in a river or the sea.
Vehicle Mark Automatically Rotates
The system wrongly memorizes the rotating status as st opping when the ignition switch is turned ON with the
turntable rotating. That causes the vehicle mark to rotate when the vehicle is stopped.
When Driving on Same Road, Sometimes Vehicle Mark is in Right Place and Sometimes it is in Wrong Place
The conditions of the GPS antenna (GPS data) and gyroscope (angular speed sensor) change gradually.
Depending on the road traveled and the operation of the steering wheel, \
the location detection results will be
different. Therefore, even on a road on which the lo cation has never been wrong, conditions may cause the
vehicle mark to deviate.
