the following safety information. Always use the
system as outlined in this manual.
WARNING
.When the driver wants to operate
the navigation system or use the
multi-function controller, first park
the vehicle in a safe location and
set the parking brake. Operating
the system while driving can dis-
tract the driver and may result in a
serious accident.

accidents, fire or electrical shock.
. If you notice any foreign objects in
the system hardware, spill liquid on

system immediately and contact a
NISSAN dealer. Ignoring such con-
ditions may lead to accidents, fire
or electrical shock.
CAUTION
.Do not use this system if you notice
any malfunctions such as a frozen
screen or the lack of sound. Con-
tinued use of the system may result
in accidents, fire or electrical shock.

*C2009 NAVTEQ. All Rights Reserved.The display is a liquid crystal display and should
be handled with care.WARNING
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
especially 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 vehicle has warmed up.
. Some pixels in the display are darker or
brighter than others. This condition is an
inherent characteristic of liquid crystal dis-
plays, and it is not a malfunction.
. You may also notice a remnant of the
previous display image on the screen. This
screen burn is inherent 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 clean-
ing agent. They will scratch or
deteriorate the panel.
. Do not splash any liquid such as
water or car fragrance on the dis-
play. Contact with liquid will cause
the system to malfunction.
If you need 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.
