dents and disabled vehicles.
cScheduled traffic data, for example road con-
struction and road closures.

(MCA) FOR THE NAVIGATION SYS-
TEM
This system is designed to help you reach your
destination, and it also performs other functions
as outlined in this manual. However, you, the
driver, must use the system safely and properly.
Information concerning road conditions, traffic
signs and the availability of services may not al-
ways be up-to-date. The system is not a substi-
tute for safe, proper and legal driving.
Map data covers select metropolitan areas in the
United States.
Map data is available on map DVD-ROMs. For
information about map DVD-ROMs, contact an
NISSAN dealer or call the NISSAN NAVIGA-
TION SYSTEM HELPDESK. See the contact in-
formation on the inside front cover of this
manual.

coverage areas” providing all detailed road data
and other areas showing “Main roads only”.
NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in many
areas and is generally limited to select ma-
jor metropolitan areas.
For information on which metropolitan areas are
in detailed coverage areas, please refer to the
NISSAN Navigation System Software Booklet

– If one section between waypoints cannot
be calculated, none of the route will be
displayed.
– The route may not connect completely at
some waypoints.
– The route may require a U-turn close to
some waypoints.
cRoute calculation may not be completed in
the following cases:
– If there is no main road within a range of
1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the vehicle, a
message saying so will appear on the
screen. Try recalculating when the ve-
hicle is closer to a main road.
– If there is no main road within a range of
1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the destination or
waypoint, a message saying so will ap-
pear on the screen. Try setting the loca-
tion closer to a main road.
– If the vehicle is too close to the destina-
tion or if there are no roads to the
destination, a message saying so will ap-
pear on the screen.
– If it is impossible to reach the destination
or waypoints because of traffic
regulations, etc.– If the only route to reach the destination
or waypoints is extremely complicated.
– If the destination, current vehicle position
or waypoint is within the “Avoid Area”.
– If a part of the route is included in the
“Avoid Area”.
cThe following may occur when the route is
displayed:
– If you calculate a route on a main road,
the starting point of the route may not ex-
actly match the current vehicle location.
– The endpoint of the route may not exactly
match the destination.
– If you calculate a route on a main road,
the system may display a route from an-
other main road. This may be because
the position of the vehicle icon is not
accurate. In this case, park the vehicle in
a safe location and reset the vehicle icon,
or continue driving to see if the position
of the vehicle icon is automatically ad-
justed before recalculating the route.
– There are cases in which the system
shows an indirect route to reach the des-
tination or waypoints, if you set them
from stored or facility information. In or-
der to correct this, you must be carefulabout the traffic direction, especially
when lanes with different travel direc-
tions are shown separately, such as in-
terchanges and service areas.
– This system makes no distinction be-
tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show an indi-
rect route even if the road is usable.
– Even if the freeway preference is set to
OFF, a route that uses the freeway may
be suggested.
– Even if the preference is set to OFF, a
route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.
– Ferry lines, excluding those that are only
for pedestrians, bicycles and
motorcycles, are stored in this system.
Take into consideration the travel time re-
quired and operational condition before
deciding whether to use them or not.
