2013 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE ESP

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.
NAVTRAFFIC INFORMATION
When available, the 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 NavTraffic Information feature, via the guid-
ance mode, may help to detour around traffic
problems. For more information on the NavTraffic
Information feature, refer to section 5.
FEATURES OF THIS NAVIGATION
SYSTEM
10-2General system information

INFO:
The GPS antenna is located on the instrument
panel inside the vehicle. Do not place any
objects, especially mobile phones or
transceivers, on the instrument panel. Because
the strength of the GPS signal is approximately
one billionth of that of TV waves, phones and
transceivers will affect or may totally disrupt the
signal.
Display of GPS information
GPS information can be displayed.

General system information10-5

NOTE:
Route guidance provided by the navigation
system does not take carpool lane driving
into consideration, especially when car-
pool lanes are separated from other road
lanes.
INCORRECT DISPLAY OF VEHICLE
POSITION
The following cases may affect the display accu-
racy of the vehicle’s position or traveling
direction. The accuracy will return to normal if
the driving conditions return to normal.
LNV0516
10-6General system information

– If it is impossible to reach the destinationor waypoints because of traffic
regulations, etc.
– If the only route to reach the destination or waypoints is extremely complicated.
– If the destination, current vehicle position or waypoint is within the “Avoid Area”.
– If a part of the route is included in the “Avoid Area”.
● The following may occur when the route is
displayed:
– If you calculate a route on a main road, the starting point of the route may not ex-
actly match the current vehicle location.
– The endpoint of the route may not exactly match the destination.
– If you calculate a route on a main road, the system may display a route from an-
other main road. This may be because
the position of the vehicle icon is not
accurate. In this case, park the vehicle in
a safe location and reset the vehicle icon,
or continue driving to see if the position
of the vehicle icon is automatically ad-
justed before recalculating the route.
– There are cases in which the system shows an indirect route to reach the des- tination or waypoints, if you set them
from stored or facility information. In or-
der to correct this, you must be careful
about the traffic direction, especially
when lanes with different travel direc-
tions are shown separately, such as in-
terchanges and service areas.
– This system makes no distinction be- tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show an indi-
rect route even if the road is usable.
– Even if the freeway preference is set to OFF, a route that uses the freeway may
be suggested.
– Even if the preference is set to OFF, a route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.
– Ferry lines, excluding those that are only for pedestrians, bicycles and
motorcycles, are stored in this system.
Take into consideration the travel time re-
quired and operational condition before
deciding whether to use them or not.INFO:
The system will only announce street names
when the system language is set to English.
Street names are not announced when the sys-
tem is set to Français (French) or Español
(Spanish) .
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
Voice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
NOTE:
● There may be some cases in which voice
guidance and actual road conditions do
not correspond. This may occur because
of discrepancies between the actual
road and the information on the map
data, or it is due to the vehicle’s speed.
● In case voice guidance does not corre-
spond to the actual road conditions, fol-
low the information obtained from traf-
fic signs or notices on the road.
● Route guidance provided by the naviga-
tion system does not take carpool lane
driving into consideration, especially
when carpool lanes are separated from
other road lanes.
ROUTE GUIDANCE
10-10General 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 NavTraffic information service is not pro-
vided 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.
● NavTraffic is a service of SiriusXM Satellite
Radio. NavTraffic is only available in select
markets within the 48 contiguous United
States and is subject to data availability. Re-
ception of the SiriusXM signal may vary de-
