2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER Navigation Manual

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The part of the route that the vehicle
has already passed is deleted. A route is managed by sections between waypoints. If the vehicle
passed the first waypoint, the section between the starting point
and the waypoint is deleted (it may not be deleted depending on the
area). This is not a malfunction.
An indirect route is suggested. If there are restrictions (such as one-way streets) on roads close to the starting point or destination, the system may suggest an indirect
route. Adjust the location of the starting point or destination.
The system may suggest an indirect route because route calculation
does not take into consideration some areas such as narrow streets
(gray roads). Reset the destination to a main or ordinary road, and
recalculate the route.
The landmark information does not
correspond to the actual information. This may be caused by insufficient or incorrect map data. Updated information will be included in the next
version of the map data.
The suggested route does not exactly
connect to the starting point, way-
points or destination. There is no data for route calculation closer to these locations. Set the starting point, waypoints and destination on a
main road, and perform route calculation.

VOICE GUIDANCE
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Voice guidance is not available. Voice guidance is only available at certain intersections marked with
. In some cases, voice guidance is not available even when the
vehicle makes a turn. This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle has deviated from the suggested route. Go back to the suggested route or request
route calculation again.
Voice guidance is set to OFF. Turn on voice guidance.
Route guidance is set to OFF. Turn on route guidance.
The guidance content does not corre-
spond to the actual road conditions. The content of voice guidance may vary, depending on the types of
intersections at which turns are made. Follow all traffic rules and regulations.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Traffic information is not displayed. Traffic information is not set to ON. Set the traffic information to ON.
The vehicle is in an area where traffic information is not
available. Scroll to an area where traffic information is available.
The subscription to SiriusXM Traffic is incomplete, or the
subscription to SiriusXM Traffic has expired. Check the subscription status of SiriusXM Traffic.
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 on map” (page 7-6)
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 conditions as traffic jams. Follow the current
route. Also see “NOTES ON TRAFFIC INFORMATION” for
further information.
“Notes on SiriusXM Traffic information” (page 7-13)
The route does not avoid a road section
with traffic information 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 a detour when necessary. If the
road is closed, use the detour function and set the detour
distance to avoid the road section that is closed.

NISSANCONNECTSMSERVICES
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The system cannot connect to
the NissanConnect
SMServices
Data Center. A subscription for the NissanConnect
SM
Services has not been established.
Sign up for a subscription to the NissanConnect
SMServices. For details about
subscriptions, contact the NissanConnectSMServices support line at 1-855-426-
6628.
The communication line is busy. Try again after a short period of time.
The vehicle is in a location where it is
difficult to receive radio waves. When the vehicle moves to an area where radio waves can be transmitted
sufficiently, communication will be restored. When the icon on the display shows
that the vehicle is inside the communication area, the system can be used.
TCU (Telematics Control Unit) is not turned
on. If the icon does not show that the vehicle is inside the communication area despite
the fact that the vehicle is in that location, contact the NissanConnect
SMServices
support line at 1-855-426-6628.
Radio wave reception is not sufficient for
TCU operation. When the vehicle moves to an area where radio waves can be transmitted
sufficiently, communication will be restored. When the icon on the display shows
that the vehicle is inside the communication area, the system can be used.
Some of the items that are
displayed on the menu screen
cannot be selected. The vehicle is being driven and some menu
items are disabled.
The vehicle is being driven. Stop the vehicle in a safe location and apply the parking
brake before operating the functions.
Some parts of the screen are
not displayed. The vehicle is being driven and some menu
items are disabled. Operate the system after stopping the vehicle in a safe location and applying the
parking brake.
The system does not announce
information. The volume level is set to the minimum. Adjust the volume level by operating the VOLUME control knob located on the
control panel or on the steering-wheel switch while the system is announcing
information.

VOICE RECOGNITION
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The system does not operate or fails to interpret the
command correctly. The interior of the vehicle is too noisy.
Close the windows or have the other occupants be
quiet.
The fan speed of the air conditioner is too fast. Decrease the fan speed of the air conditioner.
The noise generated by driving the vehicle is too
loud. Reduce the vehicle speed, and then speak the
command.
The voice command is spoken in a low voice. Speak the command in a louder voice.
The timing of speaking a command is too fast. Speak the command after confirming the following: a voice guidance is announced, a tone sounds, and an
icon on the screen changes from white to orange.
The command is spoken too slowly. Speak in a natural voice without pausing between
words.
The system prompt to say command again. Pronunciation is unclear. Speak clearly.
The command is spoken too late after the tone. Speak the command within 5 seconds after con- firming the following: a voice guidance is announced,
a tone sounds, and an icon on the screen changes
from white to orange.
An improper command is spoken. Speak the command or a number that is displayed in
white on the screen.
Speak a command that is shown in the command list.
The system does not correctly recognize a number
spoken. Many numbers are spoken at once.
Place a pause between the appropriate digits for
correct recognition by the system. When speaking a
telephone number, place a pause between area
codes, dial codes, etc.

The system does not correctly recognize a Point of
Interest (POI) name spoken. There are some rare cases where a POI is unavail-
able by Voice Recognition but the location can be
found on the map.This is not a malfunction. Consider using an alternate
search method, like street address.
Partial or Alias name is spoken. For best results, speak the full name.
Some POI category name can only be searched from
Nearby. This is not a malfunction.
