device. .
Do not apply overload to the SD card
when inserting it to the slot. Doing so
may result in a malfunction of the
device.
. The SD card may be hot when it is
removed from the device. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
How to handle the Map SD card
When handling the map SD card, please be
careful and adhere to the following instruc-
tions:
. An SD card is inserted in the slot or
provided with your vehicle. This is an
SDHC card that is exclusively used for
this device. This card includes the map
data. The SDHC card is necessary to
operate the device. Do not remove this
card except when the map data requires
updating.
. Never analyze, modify, delete or format
the map data. Doing so may cause
improper operation of the device.

for this device will not work properly if it
is inserted in another device. .
The map data cannot be used even if it is
copied to another SDHC card.
. Do not remove the SDHC card contain-
ing map data that is inserted in the slot.
When this SDHC card containing map
data is removed the navigation system
will not operate. If the SDHC card
containing map data is accidentally re-
moved, after reinserting the SDHC card
containing map data into the slot, place
the ignition switch in the OFF position
and then place it back in the ON position
again.
. If you have to take out the SDHC card,
push the inserted SDHC card in and
release it to eject the SDHC card from
the slot.

8. Troubleshooting guide
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The screen turns blue or an error message is
displayed. A system malfunction has occurred.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for inspecting.

correctly (models with navigation system). If the SD card containing map data is acciden-
tally removed, after reinserting the SD card

8. Troubleshooting guide
VEHICLE ICON
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ
between Plan View and Birdview™. This is because the quantity of the displayed information is
reduced so that the screen does not become too cluttered.
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 period of time 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 period of time to automatically correct the
position and direction of the vehicle icon.
“Current vehicle location” (page 6-59)
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
nighttime 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 nighttime screen mode
using
>//<>
when turning on the headlights.
