DETOUR
To make a detour due to traffic conditions, the
Detour function calculates an alternative route.
The NISSAN Navigation System can calculate a
route using secondary roads that will return to
primary roads after a specified number of miles.
For more information on the Detour function,
refer to section 5.
BirdviewTM
Two map types, the 2D (Plan View) map and
BirdviewTM(3D) map, are available in the
NISSAN Navigation System. BirdviewTMmap
displays the map from an elevated perspective.
In Birdview
TMmap, it is easy to recognize an
image of the route because it provides a
panoramic view over a long distance.
For more information on Birdview
TMmap, refer
to section 3.
VOICE GUIDANCE
Route guidance is provided through voice and
visual instructions. Voice guidance announces
the appropriate directions when approaching an
intersection to turn.
For more information on voice guidance, refer to
section 5.
DISPLAY OF CURRENT VEHICLE LO-
CATION
This navigation system combines the data
obtained 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
guidance 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.
Positioning adjustment
When the system judges that the vehicle
position information is not accurate based on
vehicle speed and gyro sensor data calculations,
the system will automatically adjust the position
of the vehicle icon using GPS signals.

where road data is not complete, voice

The NavTraffic information service is not
provided for some cities. In addition, the
cities for which the traffic information service
is provided 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 infor-
mation 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 and is subject to data availability.
Reception of the SiriusXM signal may vary
depending on location. It requires a monthly
premium subscription. The service provider
is solely responsible for the quality and
accuracy of the information provided. All

service covers 80 major metropolitan mar-
kets. For the most current list of markets
covered, please refer to

. Due to road maintenance, infrastructure
problems (e.g. malfunction of road sensors,
outage of central computer of infrastructure)
or natural disasters, there are times when
some or all traffic information may not be
available.
. Incident information is based on human
collection. Not all incidents that have hap-
pened are collected and provided.
. Due to infrastructure problems, or transmis-
sion delay, there are times when the
information may differ from the actual con-
dition. Always observe safe driving practices
and follow all traffic regulations.
. Due to the coverage and quality of traffic
information and road conditions, it is not
always possible for the system to provide
the shortest time route even when traffic
information is considered.

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
headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights were turned
on.
Set the screen to the night screen mode using
when turning on the head-
lights.
“Display settings” (page 8-3)

the vehicle is moving. The current location map screen is not displayed. Push
