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.

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. A maximum waypoints are already set on the route, including ones that the vehicle has already passed. To go to more waypoints, perform route calcu-
lations 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. Troubleshooting guide
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.

VOICE GUIDANCE
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Voice guidance is not available. The vehicle has deviated from the suggested route. Go back to the suggested route or request
route calculation again.
Voice guidance is turned off. Turn on voice guidance.
Route guidance is turned off. Turn on route guidance.
The guidance content does not cor-
respond to the actual road conditions. The content of voice guidance may vary, depending on the types
of intersections at which turns are made. Follow all traffic rules and regulations.

The map scale is set at a level where the display of
icons is impossible. Check that the map scale is set at a level in which the
display of icons is possible.
“Traffic information on map” (page 6-43)
With the automatic detour route
turned on, no detour route is set to
avoid congested areas. There is no faster route compared to the current
route, based on the road network and the traffic
information. The automatic detour search is not intended for
avoiding traffic jams. It searches for the fastest route
taking conditions such as traffic jams into considera-
tion. Follow the current route.
“Notes on SiriusXM TrafficTMinformation”
(page 6-41)
The route does not avoid a road
section with traffic information stat-
ing that it is closed due to road
construction. The navigation system is designed not to avoid this
event because the actual period of closure may differ
from the declared roadwork period.
Observe the actual road conditions and follow the
instructions on the road for a detour when necessary.
If the road is closed, use the detour function and set
the detour distance to avoid the road section that is
closed.

VOICE RECOGNITION
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The system does not operate or fails to interpret
the command correctly. The interior of the vehicle is too noisy. Close the windows or have the other occupants
be quiet.
The fan speed of the heater/air conditioner is
too fast. Decrease the fan speed of the heater/air
conditioner.
The noise generated by driving the vehicle is too
loud. Reduce the vehicle speed.
The voice command is spoken in a low voice. Speak the command in a louder voice.
The timing of speaking a command is too early. Speak the command after confirming the fol- lowing: a voice guidance is announced, a tone
sounds, and an icon on the screen changes from
gray to orange.
The command is spoken too slowly. Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.
The system prompts to repeat a command. Pronunciation is unclear. Speak clearly.
The command is spoken too late after the tone. Speak the command within 5 seconds after confirming the following: a voice guidance is
announced, a tone sounds, and an icon on the
screen changes from gray to orange.
An improper command is spoken. Speak the command or a number that is
displayed on the screen.
Speak a command that is shown in the command
list.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The system does not correctly recognize a
number spoken. Too many numbers are spoken at once. Place a pause between the appropriate digits for
correct recognition by the system. When
speaking a telephone number, place a pause
between area codes, dial codes, etc.
USB memory device cannot be operated with
voice commands. Depending on the device, iPhone® or iPod® may
be recognized as a USB memory device.This is not a malfunction.
The USB/iPod® operation screen is grayed out. The audio device is not connected. Connect an audio device to the system.
An error message is displayed when trying to
select a track and operate USB/iPod®. The track information is being processed for
registration by the system.Song information will be loaded into the system
when a new audio device is registered for the
first time or when the song information in the
pre-registered device has been changed. Please
wait for the loading to complete which may take
a few minutes to up to an hour.
A number of songs exceeding the amount the
device can contain are stored in the connected
audio device. Decrease the number of songs stored in the
audio device.
No song is stored in the audio device. Store songs in the connected audio device.
Storing songs with information such as artist
name, album name, song name, playlist, etc., will
make voice recognition song search available.
The system does not correctly recognize a Point
of Interest (POI) name spoken. There are some rare cases where a POI search is
unavailable by speaking the facility name but the
location can be found on the map.This is not a malfunction. Consider using an
alternate search method, like street address.
Partial or alias name is spoken. For best results, speak the full name.
