information is a subscription ser-
vice offered by XM Satellite Radio.
This service provides real-time information re-
garding traffic flow, accidents, road construction
and other incidents, where available.
XM NavTraffic combines information from com-
mercial and public traffic data providers includ-
ing government departments of transportation,
police, emergency services, road sensors, cam-
eras and aircraft reports. The traffic information
is broadcast to the vehicle by the XM satellites.
Available traffic information on the route the
driver selected is shown on the navigation
screen so traffic conditions between you and the
destination are known. Three types of real-time
traffic information for major roadways are shown
on the navigation system:
● Unscheduled traffic data for example, acci-
dents and disabled vehicles.
● Scheduled traffic data, for example road con-
struction and road closures.
● Traffic flow information (rate of speed data) .
WARNING
XM NavTraffic information is not a
substitute for attentive driving. Traffic
conditions change constantly and
emergency situations can arise without
warning. Relying only on XM NavTraf-
fic information may lead to a collision
and could result in serious personal
injury.
NOTE:
Flow information is provided only for
roads equipped with traffic sensors and is
not available in all markets covered by the
service. Flow data may not be available on
portions of a road that is under
construction.
XM NavTraffic information is available in limited
markets. To subscribe or to check if this service
is available in the area:

ROUTE GUIDANCE
The main features of the NISSAN Navigation
System are visual guidance and voice guidance
in selected map coverage areas. Utilizing a net-
work of GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites, the NISSAN Navigation System tracks
the location on the map and navigates to a pre-
ferred location.
Once you set the destination in a map coverage
area, the NISSAN Navigation System will calcu-
late a route from your current location to your
destination. The real-time map display and turn-
by-turn voice guidance leads the driver along the
route. These features can be especially helpful
when driving to unfamiliar locations.
The system may be unable to set a destination
and/or calculate a route when the destination is
outside the map coverage area. Additionally,
voice guidance may not be available if the desti-
nation is outside the map coverage area. For
more information on how to set a destination, re-
fer to Section 4.
PLACES OF INTEREST (Places) DI-
RECTORY
The NISSAN Navigation System offers an exten-
sive places of interest (Places) directory in map
coverage areas. This directory includes a wide
variety of destinations ranging from gas stations,ATMs, and restaurants to casinos, ski resorts,
shopping centers and businesses. A point of in-
terest can be searched by category, name or
phone number. After selecting a destination, the
NISSAN Navigation System will calculate a
route to that destination.
The Places directory has many uses. For
example, the directory can be sorted by the vari-
ous types of restaurants near the current
location. If an ATM or gas station is needed, the
NISSAN Navigation System can navigate to the
closest preferred location.
For more information on how to use the Places
directory, refer to section 4.
ADDRESS BOOK
The Address Book can store up to 300 locations
from map coverage areas into a personal
directory. This is especially useful for frequently
visited locations, such as clients, relatives and
friends. The Address Book function allows easy
access to frequently visited locations when set-
ting them as your destination.
For more information on how to use the Address
Book, refer to section 6.
AVOID AREA
The Avoid Area function sets areas or freeways
that the NISSAN Navigation System does not in-
clude in the suggested route when calculating
routes. For example, if a freeway or area that is
always congested with traffic.
For more information on the Avoid Area function,
refer to section 6.
XM NAVTRAFFIC
INFORMATION
When available, the XM NavTraffic Information
broadcast may help to avoid delays due to traffic
incidents. Traffic jams, roadwork, closed roads
around the current location, etc. are represented
graphically on the map by icons depicting the
nature of the event. Incidents on the route are
automatically brought to the attention when they
are approached.
The XM NavTraffic Information feature, via the
guidance mode, may help to detour around traf-
fic problems. For more information on the XM
NavTraffic Information feature, refer to section
5.
FEATURES OF THIS NAVIGATION
SYSTEM
10-2General system information

DISPLAY OF CURRENT VEHICLE
LOCATION
This navigation system combines the data ob-
tained from the vehicle (by gyro sensor) and from
GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites to
calculate the current location of the vehicle. This
position is then displayed throughout route guid-
ance to a destination.
WHAT IS GPS (Global Positioning
System)?
GPS is a position detecting system that uses
satellites deployed by the U.S. government. This
navigation system receives radio signals from
three or more different satellites that orbit
13,049 miles (21,000 km) above the earth in
space, and detects the position of the vehicle by
utilizing the principle of triangulation.
Positioning adjustment
When the system judges that the vehicle posi-
tion information is not accurate based on vehicle
speed and gyro sensor data calculations, the
system will automatically adjust the position of
the vehicle icon using GPS signals.
Receiving signals from GPS satellites
The reception of GPS signals can be weak, de-
pending on the environment. Vehicles in the fol-
lowing areas/environments may not receive GPS
signals.
CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATION
10-4General system information

●In some cases, voice guidance ends before
arrival at the destination. Refer to the destina-
tion icon on the map to reach the destination.
● If the system recognizes on which side the
destination (waypoint) is located, voice guid-
ance will announce “on the right/left” after an-
nouncing the arrival at the destination.
● Voice guidance may be partially operational or
inoperative due to the angle of roads at an
intersection.
● Because freeway lane information is available
only for approximately 7,000 major freeways
in North America, it is not possible to display
information for all junctions and exits.
● Freeway exit information may differ from the
information on the actual exit signs.
● Because it is not possible to consider data
concerning roads that are seasonally available
or unavailable, a route may be displayed that
does not match the actual traffic restrictions.
Be sure to follow the actual traffic restrictions
while driving. ●
Canada and Alaska contain many roads with
incomplete map data. As a result, when
searching for a route, the route may include
roads with incomplete data. In regions where
road data is not complete, voice guidance
may stop for long periods of time. Be sure to
follow the actual traffic restrictions while
driving. ●
The XM NavTraffic information service is not
provided for some cities. In addition, the cities
for which the traffic information service is pro-
vided may be changed.
● In some cases, infrastructure problems may
prevent the complete display of the traffic
information. This is not a malfunction.
● Due to infrastructure problems, or due to the
time when the traffic information service
broadcast is received, the displayed informa-
tion may differ from the actual traffic
conditions.
● Depending on the traffic information, a detour
route may be slower than the original route.
● XM NavTraffic is a service of XM Satellite
Radio. XM NavTraffic is only available in se-
lect markets within the 48 contiguous United
States and is subject to data availability. Re-
ception of the XM signal may vary depending
on location. It requires a monthly premium

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The GPS indicator on the screen remains gray. GPS signals cannot be received under certain conditions, such as in a parking garage, on a road with many tall
buildings, etc. Drive on an open, straight road for a while.
GPS signals cannot be received because objects are placed
on the instrument panel. Remove the objects from the instrument panel.
A sufficient number of GPS satellites is not available. Wait for the satellites to move to locations available for the navi- gation system.
The location of the vehicle icon is misaligned from
the actual position. When using tire chains or replacing the tires, speed calcula-
tions based on the speed sensor may be incorrect. Drive the vehicle for a while (at approximately 19 MPH [30 km/h]
for about 30 minutes) to automatically correct the vehicle icon
position. If this does not correct the vehicle icon position, con-
tact 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 data.
