< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >
DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (AV CONTROL UNIT)
The steering angle output value detected with the gyroscope is
adjusted.
SPEED CALIBRATION
During normal driving, distance error caused by tire wear and tire
pressure change is automatically adjusted for by the automatic dis-
tance correction function. This function, on the other hand, is for
immediate adjustment, in cases such as driving with tire chain fitted
on tires.
Error History
The self-diagnosis results are judged depending on whether any error occurs from when “Self-diagnosis” is
selected until the self-diagnosis results are displayed.
However, the diagnosis results are judged normal if an error has occurred before the ignition switch is turned
ON and then no error has occurred until the self-diagnosis start. Check the “Error Record” to detect any error
that may have occurred before the self-di agnosis start because of this situation.
The error record displays the time and place of the most recent occurrence of that error. However, take note of
the following points.
 If there is a malfunction with the GPS antenna circuit board in the AV control unit, the correct date and time
of occurrence may not be able to be displayed.
 Place of the error occurrence is represented by the posit ion of the current location mark at the time an error
occurred. If current location mark has deviated from t he correct position, then the place of the error occur-
rence cannot be located correctly.
 The frequency of occurrence is displayed in a count up manner. The actual count up method differs depend- ing on the error item.
Count up method A
 The counter resets to 0 if an error occurs when igniti on switch is turned ON. The counter increases by 1 if
the condition is normal at a next ignition ON cycle.
 The counter upper limit is 39. Any counts exceeding 39 are ignored.“ The counter can be reset (no error
record display) with the “Delete log” switch or CONSULT-III.
Count up method B
 The counter increases by 1 if an error occurs when i gnition switch is ON. The counter will not decrease even
if the condition is normal at the next ignition ON cycle.
 The counter upper limit is 50. Any counts exceeding 50 are ignored. “ The counter can be reset (no error
record display) with the “Delete log” switch or CONSULT-III.

< SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS >
NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION
RELATED TO ROUTE CALCULATION AND VISUAL GUIDANCE
The vehicle icon is not displayed in
the correct position.The vehicle was transported after the ignition
switch was pressed off, for example, by a ferry
or car transporter.
Drive the vehicle for a while on a road where
GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon
may be incorrect depending on the driving en-
vironments and the levels of positioning accu-
racy of the navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for
a while to automatically correct the position
and direction of the vehicle icon.
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 vehi-
cle icon on the nearest road available.
Updated road information will be included in
the next version of the map data.
The screen does not switch to the
night screen even after turning on
the headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the
headlights were turned on.
Set the screen to the night screen mode using
when you turn on the headlights.
The map does not scroll even when
the vehicle is moving. The current location map screen is not dis-
played.
Press “MAP”.
The vehicle icon is not displayed. The current location map screen is not dis-
played.
Press “MAP”.
The location of the vehicle icon is
misaligned from the actual position. When using tire chains or replacing the tires,
speed calculations based on the speed sensor
may be incorrect. Drive the vehicle for a while [at approximately
30 km/h (19 MPH) for about 30 minutes] to
automatically correct the vehicle icon posi-
tion.
If this does not correct the vehicle icon posi-
tion, contact an INFINITI 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.
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Waypoints are not included in
the auto reroute calculation. Waypoints that you have already passed are not included in
the auto reroute calculation. If you want to go to that waypoint
again, you need to edit the route.
Route information is not dis-
played. Route calculation has not yet been performed.
Set the destination and perform route
calculation.
You are not driving on the suggested route. Drive on the suggested route.
Route guidance is set to off. Turn on route guidance.
Route information is not provided for certain types of roads
(roads displayed in gray). This is not a malfunction.
The auto reroute calculation (or
detour calculation) suggests
the same route as the one pre-
viously suggested. Route calculations took priority conditions into consider-
ation, but the same route was calculated.
This is not a malfunction.
A waypoint cannot be added. Five waypoints are already set on the route, including ones
that you have already passed. A maximum of 5 waypoints can be set
on the route. If you want to go to 6 or
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 or-
dinary 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 your trip by selecting one or two
intermediate destinations, and per-
form route calculations multiple times.
There are time restricted roads (by the day of the week, by
time) near the current vehicle location or destination. Set [Use Time Restricted Roads] to
off.
