This system is primarily designed to help you
reach your destination, and it performs other
functions as outlined in this manual. However the
driver must use the system safely and properly.
Information concerning road conditions, traffic
signs and the availability of services may not al-
ways be up-to-date. The system is not a substi-
tute for safe, proper and legal driving.
Before using the navigation system, please read
the following safety information. Always use the
system as outlined in this manual.
mWARNING
●When the driver wants to operate the
navigation system, first park the ve-
hicle in a safe location and set the
handbrake. Operating the system
while driving can distract the driver
and may result in a serious accident.
● Do not rely on route guidance alone.
Always be sure that all driving ma-
neuvers are legal and safe in order to
avoid accidents.
● Do not disassemble or modify this
system. If you do, it may result in
accidents, fire or electrical shock. ●
Do not use this system if you notice
any malfunctions such as a frozen
screen or lack of sound. Continued
use of the system may result in
accidents, fire or electrical shock.
● If you notice any foreign objects in
the system hardware, spill liquid on
the system or notice smoke or a
smell, stop using the system immedi-
ately and contact a NISSAN dealer.
Ignoring such conditions may lead to
accidents, fire or electrical shock.CAUTION
●Some states or provinces may have
laws limiting the use of video
screens while driving. Use this sys-
tem only where it is legal to do so.
NOTE:
Do not keep the navigation system running
with the engine stopped. Doing so may
discharge the vehicle battery. When you
use the navigation system, always keep
the engine running.
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.
SAFETY INFORMATION FEATURES OF THIS NAVIGATION
SYSTEM
6-2General system information

PLACES DIRECTORY
The NISSAN Navigation System offers an exten-
sive Places directory in map coverage areas.
This directory includes a wide variety of
destinations. By accessing the Places directory,
you can search for addresses for a destination,
and just by pushing a button, the NISSAN Navi-
gation System will calculate a route to the
destination.
The Places directory has many uses. For
example, the directory can be sorted by the vari-
ous types of restaurants near your current
location. If you need a bank or a gas station, the
NISSAN Navigation System can navigate you to
the closest preferred location using the Places
entered in the system.
“SETTING A DESTINATION FROM
PLACES” (page 4-14)
ADDRESS BOOK
The address book can store up to 50 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.
“SETTING A DESTINATION FROM
THE ADDRESS BOOK” (page 4-10)
XM NAVTRAFFICINFORMATION
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 displayed when they are
approached.
The XM NavTraffic Information feature, via the
guidance mode, may help to detour around traffic
problems. For more information on the XM
NavTraffic Information feature, refer to section 4.
VOICE GUIDANCE
Route guidance is provided through voice and
visual instructions. Voice guidance announces
the appropriate directions when approaching an
intersection at which you need to turn. To repeat
the voice guidance, touch the “Voice” key.
The voice guidance can be alternately enabled
or disabled by touching and holding the “Voice”
key on the screen for about two seconds. When
the voice guidance is disabled, the “Voice” key
on the screen will appear grayed out.
