8. Troubleshooting guide
VEHICLE ICON
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ
between 2D and 3D view. 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 ignition 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 6-56)
Driving with tire chains or tires that have been replaced
may result in an incorrect vehicle location display due to
miscalculation 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, it is recommended you contact an
INFINITI retailer.
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.
“How to update map data” (page 6-62)
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.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The screen does not switch to the night
screen even after turning on the head-
lights. The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights
were turned on.

View® Monitor system) /<> (models

The map does not scroll even when the
vehicle is moving. The current location map screen is not displayed. Push

ROUTE CALCULATION AND VISUAL GUIDANCE
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Waypoints are not included in the
auto reroute calculation. Waypoints that have been already passed are not included in
the auto reroute calculation. To go to that waypoint again, edit the route.
Route information is not dis-
played. Route calculation has not yet been performed.
Set the destination and perform route calcula-
tion.
The vehicle is not on the suggested route. Drive on the suggested route.
Route guidance is turned off. Turn on route guidance.
Route information is not provided for certain types of roads. This is not a malfunction.
The auto reroute calculation (or
detour calculation) suggests the
same route as the one previously
suggested. Route calculations took priority conditions into consideration,
but the same route was calculated.
This is not a malfunction.
A waypoint cannot be added. 14 waypoints are already set on the route, including ones that the vehicle has already passed. A maximum of 14 waypoints can be set on the
route. To go to 15 or more waypoints, perform
route calculations multiple times as necessary.
The suggested route is not dis-
played. Roads near the destination cannot be calculated.
Reset the destination to a main or ordinary road,
and recalculate the route.
The starting point and destination are too close. Set a more distant destination.
The starting point and destination are too far away. Divide the trip by selecting one or two inter- mediate destinations, and perform route calcu-
lations multiple times.
There are time restricted roads (by the day of the week, by
time) near the current vehicle location or destination. Select [Ignore Restrictions] in the [Time Re-
stricted Roads] setting.
“Route Preference” (page 6-34)
A part of the route is not dis-
played. The suggested route includes narrow streets. This is not a malfunction.
8-28

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The part of the route that the
vehicle has already passed is de-
leted. A route is managed by sections between waypoints. If the
vehicle passed the first waypoint, the section between the
starting point and the waypoint is deleted (it may not be
deleted depending on the area). This is not a malfunction.
An indirect route is suggested. If there are restrictions (such as one-way streets) on roads close to the starting point or destination, the system may
suggest an indirect route. Adjust the location of the starting point or
destination.
The system may suggest an indirect route because route
calculation does not take into consideration some areas such
as narrow streets. Reset the destination to a main or ordinary road,
and recalculate the route.
The landmark information does
not correspond to the actual in-
formation. This may be caused by insufficient or incorrect map data. Updated information will be included in the next
version of the map data.
“How to update map data” (page 6-62)
The suggested route does not
exactly connect to the starting
point, waypoints or destination. There is no data for route calculation closer to these locations. Set the starting point, waypoints and destination
on a main road, and perform route calculation.
