NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Location Detection Principle
The navigation system periodically calculates the vehicle's current
position according to the following three signals:

Travel distance of the vehicle as determined by the vehicle
speed sensor

Turning angle of the vehicle as determined by the gyroscope
(angular velocity sensor)

Direction of vehicle travel as determined by the GPS antenna
(GPS information)
The current position of the vehicle is then identified by comparing the
calculated vehicle position with map data read from the DVD-ROM,
which is stored in the DVD-ROM drive (map-matching), and indi-
cated on the screen as a current-location mark. More accurate data is judged and used by comparing vehicle
position detection results found by the GPS with the result by map-matching.
The current vehicle position will be calculated by detecting the dis-
tance the vehicle moved from the previous calculation point and its
direction.

Travel distance
Travel distance calculations are based on the vehicle speed
sensor input signal. Therefore, the calculation may become
incorrect as the tires wear down. To prevent this, an automatic
distance correction function has been adopted.

Travel direction
Change in the travel direction of the vehicle is calculated by a
gyroscope (angular velocity sensor) and a GPS antenna (GPS
information). They have both advantages and disadvantages.
More accurate traveling direction is selected because priorities are set for the signals from these two
devices according to the situation.

Type Advantage Disadvantage
Gyroscope (angular velocity sen-
sor) Can detect the vehicle's turning angle quite
accurately. Direction errors may accumulate when vehicle is
driven for long distances without stopping.
GPS antenna (GPS information) Can detect the vehicle's travel direction
(North/South/East/West). Correct direction cannot be detected when vehi-
cle speed is low.

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NFS000MW
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:

To 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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for Brake SystemNFS000MX

Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”. Refer to MA-12, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas such as body. If brake fluid is splashed, wipe it off
and flush area with water immediately.

Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene to clean. They will ruin rubber parts and cause
improper operation.

Using a flare nut crowfoot and torque wrench, securely tighten
brake tube flare nuts.

Brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is
detected, always disassemble the affected part. If a malfunction
is detected, replace part with a new one.

Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect electri-
cal connectors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or
battery negative terminal.

When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.
WARNING:
Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with
a dust collector.
Precautions for Brake ControlNFS000MY

During VDC/TCS/ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This
is normal.

Just after starting vehicle after turning ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating
noise may be heard from engine room. This is a normal status of operation check.

Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel,
or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.

When an error is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from cus-
tomer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and check for simple causes before starting
diagnostic servicing. Besides electrical system inspection, check booster operation, brake fluid level, and
fluid leaks.

If tire size and type are used in an improper combination, or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts,
stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.

FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLYPFP:54010
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceNES000I3
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are normal.
INSPECTION LOWER BALL JOINT END PLAY
1. Set front wheels in a straight-ahead position. Do not depress brake pedal.
2. Place an iron bar or similar tool between transverse link and steering knuckle.
3. Measure axial end play by prying it up and down.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot.
STRUT INSPECTION

Check strut for oil leakage, damage and replace if there are. Refer to FSU-11, "COIL SPRING AND
STRUT" .
Wheel Alignment InspectionNES000I4
DESCRIPTION

Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are designated positions.
PRELIMINARY CHECK

Check tires for improper air pressure and wear.

Check road wheels for runout.

Check wheel bearing axial end play.

Check ball joint axial end play of compression rod, upper link, and steering knuckle

Check shock absorber operation.

Check each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.

Check each link, rod and member for cracks, deformation and other damage.

Check vehicle posture.
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.
–This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
–The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel is
centered.
–The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
–The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.

Make sure the machine is properly calibrated.
–Your alignment equipment should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.
–Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended Service/Calibration
Schedule. Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
