outgoing voice) is different. Each volume level is not adjusted properly. Adjust each volume level properly.
The antenna display is different between the
navigation screen and a cellular phone screen.
Making or receiving a call is unavailable even
though the antenna display shows that it is
possible to do so. The antenna display varies depending on the model
of cellular phone.
This does not indicate a malfunction. The antenna display
and remaining battery level shown on the navigation screen
may be different from those shown on the cellular phone
screen. Use them as a reference.
A voice cannot be heard clearly when using a
cellular phone behind tall buildings. Some structures such as tall buildings, etc. may
cause irregular reflection of radio waves or comple-
tely shut out radio waves that are used for cellular
phones. Move to a place without tall buildings.
Noise is heard when using a cellular phone
under/near areas of elevated railroads, high
voltage electric power cables, traffic signals,
neon billboards, etc. Electromagnetic waves that are generated from radio
devices may adversely affect the cellular phone.
This is not a malfunction.

NISSANCONNECTSMEV
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The system cannot connect to
the Nissan Data Center. A subscription for the NissanConnectSMEV
has not been established. For registration, please visit the NissanConnectSMWebsite.
The user ID and password are not entered.
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
SMEV support
line at 1-877-664-2738.
Radio wave reception is not sufficient for
TCU (Telematics Control Unit) 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.
Stop the vehicle in a safe location and apply the parking brake before operating the
menu screen items.

VEHICLE ICON
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ be-
tween 2D view and Birdview
TM. 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 location of the vehicle icon is misaligned
from the actual position. The vehicle was transported after the power switch was placed
in the OFF position, 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 9-2)
Driving with tire chains or tires that have been replaced may
result in an incorrect vehicle location display due to miscalcu-
lation by the speed sensor. Drive the vehicle for a period of time (at
approximately 19 MPH (30 km/h) for about 30
minutes) to automatically correct the vehicle icon
position.
If this does not correct the vehicle icon position,
contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
The map data has a mistake or is incomplete (the vehicle icon
position is always misaligned in the same area) . Updated road information will be included in the
next version of the map data.
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.
