2012 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE display

The display is a liquid crystal display and should
be handled with care.
mWARNING
Never disassemble the display. Some
parts utilize extremely high voltage.
Touching them may result in serious
personal injury.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A LIQUID
CRYSTAL DISPLAY
●If the temperature inside the vehicle is espe-
cially low, the display will stay relatively dim or
the movement of the images may be slow.
These conditions are normal. The display will
function normally when the interior of the ve-
hicle has warmed up.
● Some pixels in the display are darker or
brighter than others. This condition is an in-
herent characteristic of liquid crystal displays,
and it is not a malfunction.
● A remnant of the previous display image may
remain on the screen. This screen burn is in-
herent in displays, and it is not a malfunction.
INFO:
The screen may become distorted by strong
magnetic fields.
MAINTENANCE OF THE DISPLAY
CAUTION
● To clean the display, never use a
rough cloth, alcohol, benzine, thin-
ner and any kind of solvent or paper
towel with a chemical cleaning
agent. They will scratch or deterio-
rate the panel.
● Do not splash any liquid such as wa-
ter or car fragrance on the display.
Contact with liquid will cause the
system to malfunction.
To clean the display screen, use a dry, soft cloth.
If additional cleaning is necessary, use a small
amount of neutral detergent with a soft cloth.
Never spray the screen with water or detergent.
Dampen the cloth first, then wipe the screen.

BASIC OPERATIONS
Troubleshooting guide11-3

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ between Plan
view and Birdview™. 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 incor-
rect 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 auto-
matically correct the position and direction of the vehicle icon.
“CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATION” (page 10-4)
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 sys-
tem automatically places the vehicle icon on the nearest road
available. Updated road information will be included in the next version of
the map data.
The screen does not switch to the night screen
even after turning on the headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights were
turned on.
Set the screen to the night screen mode using the
but-
ton when turning on the headlights.
“DISPLAY SETTINGS” (page 8-3)
The map does not scroll even when the vehicle is
moving. The current location map screen is not displayed.
Press the MAP button.
The vehicle icon is not displayed. The current location map screen is not displayed. Press the MAP button.

Waypoints are not included in the auto reroute
calculation. Waypoints that have been already passed are not included in the
auto reroute calculation. To go to that waypoint again, edit the route.
Route information is not displayed. Route calculation has not yet been performed. Set the destination and perform route calculation.
The vehicle is not on the suggested route. Drive on the suggested route.
Route guidance is set to off. Turn on route guidance.
Route information is not provided for certain types of roads (roads
displayed in gray) . This is not a malfunction.
The auto reroute calculation (or detour calculation) sug-
gests the same route as the one previously suggested. Route calculations took priority conditions into consideration, but
the same route was calculated. This is not a malfunction.
A waypoint cannot be added. Five waypoints are already set on the route, including ones that the
vehicle has already passed. A maximum of 5 waypoints can be set on the route.
To go to 6 or more waypoints, perform route calcula-
tions multiple times as necessary.
The suggested route is not displayed. Roads near the destination cannot be calculated. 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 the trip by selecting one or two intermediate
destinations, and perform route calculations multiple
times.
There are time restricted roads (by the day of the week, by time)
near the current vehicle location or destination. Set “Use Time Restricted Roads” to off.
“SETTING CONDITIONS FOR THE
ROUTE CALCULATION” (page 5-33)
A part of the route is not displayed. The suggested route includes narrow streets (roads displayed in gray) . This is not a malfunction.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The traffic information is not displayed The traffic information is not set to on. Set the traffic information to on.
The vehicle is in an area where traffic information is not
available. Scroll to an area where traffic information is available.
The subscription to XM NavTraffic is incomplete, or the sub-
scription to XM has expired. Check the subscription status of XM NavTraffic.
The map scale is set at a level where the display of icons is
impossible. Check that the map scale is set at a level in which the dis-
play of icons is possible.
“Traffic information display and scale levels”
(page 7-8)
With the automatic detour route search ON, no detour
route is set to avoid congested areas. There is no faster route compared to the current route, based
on the road network and traffic information. The automatic detour search is not intended for avoiding
traffic jams. It searches for the fastest route taking into
consideration such things as traffic jams. Follow the cur-
rent route. Also see “NOTES ON TRAFFIC INFORMA-
TION” for further information.
The route does not avoid a road section with traffic infor-
mation stating that it is closed due to road construction. The navigation system is designed not to avoid this event be-
cause the actual period of closure may differ from the declared
roadwork period. Observe the actual road conditions and follow the instruc-
tions on the road for detour when necessary. If the road
actually is closed, use the detour function and set the de-
tour distance to avoid the road section that is closed.
