GPS signal reception conditions are good. However, the position mark does not return to its proper
position.
Ihe system senses the vehicle location with an error of approximately 100 m (328 ft). Due to the limitation
of precision, the position marker may be inaccurate even if the GPS signal reception condition is good.
IThe navigation system uses GPS data to determine vehicle location. GPS data is compared with other
locational sensing data during the map matching process. The system decides which data is more pre-
cise and uses that data.
IWhen the vehicle is stationary, GPS data cannot be used to make system corrections.
Area designations on the map display and the BIRDVIEWTdisplay differ.
To prevent the display from becoming congested, alphanumeric information is abridged.
[No problem]
Correct position of your vehicle is not displayed.
Vehicle position changed after ignition key was turned to the OFF position (Vehicle is transported on car ferry,
car train, or by some other means).
[Operate vehicle for short time under GPS receiving conditions.]
The display does not change to night-time mode even though the light switch has been turned ON.
Lights have been turned on. In ªDISPLAY CHANGEº mode, night-time mode on display has been switched to
day-time mode and still is.
[Turn lights on again. Set the display to night-time mode. Refer to EL-412.]
Map does not scroll even though the position of your vehicle is changed.
Present area does not appear on the display.
[Press the ªMAPº switch.]
Vehicle position marker does not appear.
Present area does not appear on the display.
[Press the ªMAPº switch.]
The map surface precision display (GPS satellite marker) still remains gray.
Vehicle is parked inside a building or in the shadow of a large building. This intercepts the GPS signal.
[Move the vehicle to a more open position.]
GPS signal is not received because objects are placed on the rear parcel shelf.
[Remove objects from the rear parcel shelf.]
GPS satellite position is bad.
[Wait until GPS satellite position improves.]
Vehicle position precision is bad.
The map surface precision display (GPS satellite marker) still remains gray.
[Refer to ªThe map surface precision display (GPS satellite marker) still remains grayº item (Symptoms)]
Vehicle speed and elapsed distance is calculated from the vehicle speed pulse. This pulse is dependent upon
tire size. If tire chains are used on the vehicle, accuracy will be affected (pulse rate will be too fast or too slow).
The same is true if the system installed to your vehicle is removed and installed on another vehicle.
[Drive the vehicle at a speed higher than 30 km/h (19 MPH) for approximately 30 minutes. Automatic read-
justment should occur. If it does not (remains too fast or too slow), distance calibration is required. Or, drive
the vehicle for a short distance. Perform ªSPEED CALIBRATIONº (EL-409). After removing the tire chains,
sensing accuracy may recover by itself.]
Bad map data or system defect (same error consistently occurs in the same area)
ROUTE SEARCH/ROUTE GUIDENBEL0235S03IIf the present location or the destination location is displayed in the avoid area, it is not possible to search
routes.
IIf the avoid area is set to wide range area, it may not be possible to find appropriate routes or search for
alternate routes.
IThe automatic re-route calculates a return to the original route. Because of this, it may not be possible to
search appropriate new routes. If you deviate from the original route and wish to select an appropriate new
route, touch ªRoute Calculationº.
IThe automatic re-route function may sometimes require considerable time.

PrecautionsNBGI0001Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and proper
servicing. These precautions are not described in each indi-
vidual section.
SGI646
PRECAUTIONS FOR SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (SRS) ªAIR BAGº AND ªSEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONERº
NBGI0001S01The Supplemental Restraint System such as ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONERº used along with a seat belt, helps to
reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passen-
ger for certain types of collision. The SRS system composition
which is available to INFINITI QX4 is as follows:
IFor a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag
module (located in the center of the steering wheel), front pas-
senger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on
passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor
unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
IFor a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of side air bag
module (located in the outer side of front seat), satellite sensor,
diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a
frontal collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (one of compo-
nents of air bags for a frontal collision).
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in
theRS sectionof this Service Manual.
WARNING:
ITo avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could
increase the risk of personal injury or death in the event
of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all
maintenance must be performed by an authorized INFINITI
dealer.
IImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and
installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury caused
by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of
Spiral Cable and Air Bag Module, see the RS section.
IDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related
to the SRS unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow
insulation tape either just before the harness connectors
or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
PRECAUTIONS FOR IVIS (INFINITI VEHICLE
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM Ð NATS)
NBGI0001S08IVIS (NATS) will immobilize the engine if someone tries to start it
without the registered key of IVIS (NATS).
Both of the originally supplied ignition key IDs have been IVIS
(NATS) registered.

GI-3

The security indicator is located on the instrument panel. The indi-
cator blinks when the ignition switch is in OFF or ACC position.
Therefore, IVIS (NATS) warns outsiders that the vehicle is
equipped with the anti-theft system.
IWhen IVIS (NATS) detects trouble, the security indicator lamp
lights up while ignition switch is in ON position.
This lighting up indicates that the anti-theft is not functioning,
so prompt service is required.
IWhen servicing IVIS (NATS) (trouble diagnoses, system initial-
ization and additional registration of other IVIS (NATS) ignition
key IDs), CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II IVIS (NATS)
software is necessary.
Regarding the procedures of IVIS (NATS) initialization and
IVIS (NATS) ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II
operation manual, IVIS/NVIS.
Therefore, CONSULT-II IVIS (NATS) software (program card
and operation manual) must be kept strictly confidential to
maintain the integrity of the anti-theft function.
IWhen servicing IVIS (NATS) (trouble diagnoses, system initial-
ization and additional registration of other IVIS (NATS) ignition
key IDs), it may be necessary to re-register original key iden-
tification. Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle
owner.
A maximum of five key IDs can be registered into IVIS (NATS).
IWhen failing to start the engine first time using the key of IVIS
(NATS) (for example, when interference is caused by another
IVIS (NATS) key, an automated full road device or automated
payment device on the key ring), restart as follows.
a) Leave the ignition switch in ON position for approximately 5
seconds.
b) Turn ignition switch to OFF or LOCK position and wait approxi-
mately 5 seconds.
c) Repeat step 1 and 2.
d) Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have
caused the interference) separate from the registered NATS
key. If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN recommends
placing the registered IVIS (NATS) key on a separate key ring
to avoid interference from other devices.
PRECAUTIONS FOR INFINITI COMMUNICATOR (IVCS)NBGI0001S09The purpose of INFINITI Communicator is to increase security for
the vehicle owner by providing a convenient way to contact the
most appropriate emergency assistance provider during an emer-
gency.
Improper operation of the system may result in a police response.
The theft warning system also activates INFINITI Communicator.
For details, refer to INFINITI Communicator (IVCS) in the EL sec-
tion.
