NISSAN ALTIMA 2007 L32A / 4.G Navigation Manual

INFO:
The announcement of the street name during
route guidance is available only when English is
set as the language for the system. Street names
are not announced if French is set for the
system.
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
Voice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
NOTE:
cThere may be some cases in which voice
guidance and actual road conditions do not
correspond. This may occur because of dis-
crepancies between the actual road and the
information on the map DVD-ROM, or it is due
to the vehicle’s speed.
cIn case voice guidance does not correspond
to the actual road conditions, follow the infor-
mation obtained from traffic signs or notices
on the road.
cRoute guidance provided by the navigation
system does not take carpool lane driving into
consideration, especially when carpool lanes
are separated from other road lanes.
DIRECTIONS PROVIDED AND THE
DISTANCES TO GUIDE POINTS
Directions will differ, depending on the road
type.
INFO:

HOW TO HANDLE THE DVD-ROM
CAUTION
cHandle a DVD-ROM by its edges.
Never touch the surface of the disc.
cTo clean a disc, wipe the surface
from the center to the outer edge us-
ing a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe
the disc using a circular motion. Do
not use a conventional record
cleaner, benzine, thinner or alcohol
intended for industrial use.
cA new disc may be rough on its inner
and outer edges. Remove the rough
edges using the side of a pen or pen-
cil as illustrated.cNever attempt to use a DVD-ROM
that has been cracked, deformed or
repaired using adhesive. Doing so
may damage the equipment.
cHandle the DVD-ROM carefully to
avoid contamination or flaws.
Otherwise, the data may not be read
properly.
cDo not write, draw or attach anything
on either side of the DVD-ROM.
cDo not store the DVD-ROM in loca-
tions exposed to direct sunlight or in
high temperatures or humidity.

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
cIf 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.
cSome 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.
cYou may also notice a remnant of the previous
display image on the screen. This screen burn
is inherent in displays, and it is not a
malfunction.
