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

POINTS OF INTEREST DIRECTORY
The NISSAN Navigation System offers an exten-
sive Points of Interest directory in map coverage
areas. This directory includes a wide variety of
destinations. By accessing the Points of Interest
directory, you can search for addresses for a
destination, and just by pushing a button, the
NISSAN Navigation System will calculate a
route to the destination.
The Points of Interest directory has many uses.
For example, the directory can be sorted by the
various 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 Points of
Interest entered in the system.
“SETTING A DESTINATION FROM
POINTS OF INTEREST” (page 4-9)
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 4-17)
SIRIUSXM TRAFFIC INFORMATION
When available, the SiriusXM Traffic 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 SiriusXM Traffic Information feature, via the
guidance mode, may help to detour around traf-
fic problems. For more information on the
SiriusXM Traffic 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.

6-10General system information

DISPLAY OF CURRENT VEHICLE
LOCATION
This navigation system combines the data ob-
tained from the vehicle (by gyro sensor) and from
GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites to
calculate the current location of the vehicle. This
position is then displayed throughout route guid-
ance to a destination.
WHAT IS GPS (Global Positioning
System)?
GPS is a position detecting system that uses
satellites deployed by the U.S. government. This
navigation system receives radio signals from
three or more different satellites that orbit
13,049 miles (21,000 km) above the earth in
space, and detects the position of the vehicle by
utilizing the principle of triangulation.
DETAILED MAP COVERAGE (MCA)
FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This system is designed to help you reach your
destination, and also performs other functions as
outlined in this manual. However, you, the driver,
must use the system safely and properly. Infor-
mation concerning road conditions, traffic signs
and the availability of services may not always be
up-to-date. The system is not a substitute for
safe, proper, and legal driving.Map data is available on the provided SD-card.
For information about the map SD-card, contact
a NISSAN dealer or call the NISSAN NAVIGA-
TION SYSTEM HELPDESK. See the contact in-
formation on the inside front cover of this
manual.
Map data includes 2 types of areas: “Detailed
coverage areas” providing all detailed road data
and other areas showing “Main roads only”.
NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in many
areas and is generally limited to select ma-
jor metropolitan areas.
WHEN A GRAY ROAD IS DIS-
PLAYED ON THE MAP
● Route calculation may not be possible when a
destination or the current vehicle location is
near a gray road.
● Route guidance (enlarged view and voice
guidance) may not be available at the inter-
section where the road your vehicle is driving
on and a gray road intersect.
● Places information and street names near
gray roads are not contained in the map data. ●
The NISSAN Navigation System may not cal-
culate a route if the current vehicle location is
too far away from the destination. In this case,
please divide your trip by selecting one or two
intermediate destinations.
● To reach your destination, refer to the map
screen. Always follow actual roads and regu-
lations and drive safely.
● The suggested route may not be the shortest,
nor are other circumstances such as traffic
jams considered unless the SiriusXM Traffic is
active.
● Because of the inevitable difference in road
conditions and circumstances between the
time you use this system and the time the in-
formation was produced for the map data,
there may be discrepancies in roads and
regulations. In such cases, follow the actual
information available.
● During route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move with
the actual vehicle’s movement.
● In some cases, after the calculation is
complete, the calculated route may not be im-
mediately displayed.
● If you scroll the map while the suggested
route is being drawn, it may take more time to
finish drawing.
CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATION ROUTE CALCULATION
6-12General system information

●If waypoints are set, the system calculates
multiple routes between waypoints
simultaneously, and the following may result.
– If one section between waypoints cannot be calculated, none of the route will be
displayed.
– The route may not connect completely at some waypoints.
– The route may require a U-turn close to some waypoints.
● Route calculation may not be completed in
the following cases.
– If there is no main road within a range of 1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the vehicle, a
message will then appear on the screen.
Try recalculating when the vehicle is
closer to a main road.
– If the vehicle is too close to the destina- tion or if there are no roads to the
destination, a message will then appear
on the screen.
– If it is impossible to reach the destination or waypoints because of traffic
regulations, etc.
– If the only target route to the destination or waypoints is extremely complicated. ●
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.
“VEHICLE ICON” (page 7-3)
– In some cases, the system shows an in- direct route to the destination or way-
points if you set them from stored or
places information. In order to correct,
you must be careful about the traffic
direction, especially when lanes with dif-
ferent travel directions are shown
separately, such as interchanges and
service areas. – 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 the route.
General system information6-13

●When the vehicle has deviated from the sug-
gested route, voice guidance is not available.
The system will not announce this to you. Re-
fer to the map and recalculate the route.
● Voice guidance may not accurately corre-
spond with road numbers and directions at
freeway junctions.
● Voice guidance may not accurately corre-
spond to street names at freeway exits.
● The displayed street names may sometimes
differ from the actual names, or “UNKNOWN
STREET NAME” may be displayed.
● Voice guidance is not available when the fea-
ture is disabled in the SETTINGS menu.
● Voice guidance will start when the vehicle en-
ters the suggested route. Refer to the map for
directions to the starting point of the route.
● When approaching a waypoint, voice guid-
ance will announce, “You have reached your
intermediate destination on the (left/right)
side.” Voice guidance will switch to the next
section of the route. When voice guidance is
not available, refer to the map for directions.
● 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 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 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.
HOW TO HANDLE THE DISPLAY
General system information6-15

MAINTENANCE OF THE DISPLAY
