2012 NISSAN PATHFINDER navigation system

SymptomPossible 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
10-3)
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 data.
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
when you turn on the headlights.“DISPLAY SETTINGS” (page 8-2)
The map does not scroll even when the
vehicle is moving. The current location map screen is not displayed.

The traffic information is not
displayed. The traffic information is not set to on.
Set the traffic information to on.
You are in an area where traffic information is not available. Scroll to an area where traffic information is available.

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 display of icons is
possible.
“Traffic information can be displayed in the following 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 current route. Also see “NOTES ON TRAFFIC
INFORMATION” 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
because the actual period of closure may differ from the
declared roadwork period.
Observe the actual road conditions and follow the instructions on the road
for detour when necessary. If the road actually is closed, use the detour
function and set the detour distance to avoid the road section that is
closed.
