TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
VEHICLE MARK SHOWS A POSITION WHICH IS COMPLETELY WRONG
In the following cases, the vehicle mark may appear on completely different position in the map depending on
the GPS satellite signal receiving conditions. In this case, perform location correction and direction correction.
When location correction has not been done
–If the receiving conditions of the GPS satellite signal is poor, if the vehicle mark becomes out of place, it
may move to a completely different location and not come back if location correction is not done. The
position will be corrected if the GPS signal can be received.
When the vehicle has traveled by ferry, or when the vehicle has been being towed
–Because calculation of the current location cannot be done when traveling with the ignition off, for exam-
ple when traveling by ferry or when being towed, the location before travel is displayed. If the precise loca-
tion can be detected with GPS, the location will be corrected.
VEHICLE MARK JUMPS
In the following cases, the vehicle mark may appear to jump as a result of automatic correction of the current
location.
When map matching has been done
–If the current location and the vehicle mark are different when map matching is done, the vehicle mark
may seem to jump. At this time, the location may be “corrected” to the wrong road or to a location which is
not on a road.
When GPS location correction has been done
–If the current location and the vehicle mark are different when the location is corrected using GPS mea-
surements, the vehicle mark may seem to jump. At this time, the location may be “corrected” to a location
which is not on a road.
Precautions
for drivingJust after the engine is started If the vehicle is driven off just after the
engine is started when the gyroscope
(angular speed sensor) correction is not
completed, the vehicle can lose its direc-
tion and may have deviated from the cor-
rect location.Wait for a short while before
driving after starting the engine.
Continuous driving without stopping When driving long distances without stop-
ping, direction errors may accumulate, and
the vehicle mark may deviate from the cor-
rect road.Stop and adjust the orientation.
Abusive driving Spinning the wheels or engaging in other
kinds of abusive driving may result in the
system being unable perform correct
detection, and may cause the vehicle mark
to deviate from the correct road.If after traveling about 10 km (6
miles) the correct location has
not been restored, perform
location correction and, if nec-
essary, direction correction.
How to
correct
locationPosition correction accuracy
If the accuracy of location settings is poor,
accuracy may be reduced when the correct
road cannot be found, particularly in places
where there are many roads.Enter in the road displayed on
the screen with an accuracy of
approx. 1 mm (0.04 in).
Caution: Whenever possible,
use detailed map for the cor-
rection.
Direction when location is corrected
If the accuracy of location settings during
correction is poor, accuracy may be
reduced afterwards.Perform direction correction. Cause (condition) Driving condition Remarks (correction, etc.)

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
Precautions for Brake ControlNFS000Q1
Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may
be heard from engine compartment. This is normal condition.
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 brake booster operation, brake fluid
level, and oil 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.
ABS might be out of order or malfunctions by putting a radio (wiring inclusive), an antenna and a lead-in
wire near the control unit.
If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.
VDC system may not operate normally or a VDC OFF indicator lamp or SLIP indicator lamp may light.
–When replacing the following parts with parts other than genuine parts or making modifications: Suspen-
sion-related parts (shock absorber, spring, bushing, etc.), tires, wheels (other than specified sizes), brake-
related parts (pad, rotor, caliper, etc.), engine-related parts (muffler, ECM, etc.) and body reinforcement-
related parts (roll bar, tower bar, etc.).
–When driving with worn or deteriorated suspension, tires and brake-related parts.
