AUTOMATIC START NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 L33 / 5.G 08IT Navigation Manual

.[Use Statistical Traffic Information]:
Uses statistical traffic information that is
stored in the map data.
. [Use Real Time Traffic Information]:
Uses the latest traffic information received
via the SiriusXM broadcast.
. [Use Avoid Area Settings]:
Enables the avoid area setting.
. [Use Ferries]:
Includes the use of ferries.
. [Use Learned Routes]:
Uses the roads that are most frequently
traveled with the help of self-learning
technology.
. [Auto Reroute]:
If the vehicle deviates from the suggested
route, the system automatically recalculates
a route that leads the vehicle to the
suggested route.
INFO:
. The recalculated route may not be the
shortest route because the system priori-
tizes easy-to-drive roads for safety reasons.
. If route conditions are set from [Route
Settings], all sections in the route are subject to the same route conditions even
though different route conditions are set for
different sections in [Edit/Add to Route].
. If [Use Time Restricted Roads] is deacti-
vated, the system calculates a route without
any consideration of the regulations con-
cerning the time or day of the week. There-
fore, the suggested route may include a road
subject to traffic regulations concerning the
time or day of the week. When driving along
the route, always follow all traffic regulations
regardless of whether [Use Time Restricted
Roads] is ON or OFF.
. If the system cannot calculate any alternative
routes, it displays the previous route.
. If the vehicle overly deviates from the
suggested route, the system calculates a
new route.
. Statistical traffic information is based on
previous traffic data. When the traffic situa-
tion rapidly changes due to unexpected
accidents, construction work, traffic restric-
tions, emergencies, etc., the prediction
accuracy of the system may be reduced.
. Traffic jam information displayed on the map
screen is not statistical traffic information. .
When [Use Statistical Traffic Information] is
turned on, the system may lead to a road
where a traffic jam occurs or to a detour
even though the shortest route does not
have a traffic jam.
. Even when [Use Real Time Traffic Informa-
tion] is turned on, if traffic information has
not been provided for the area, sometimes it
is possible that a detour will not be indicated
in a location where a traffic jam occurs.
. The system may not lead to a detour if traffic
closure or a traffic jam occurs far from the
present location.
. The system calculates to reduce the time
required for the entire route from the start to
destination. If there are no appropriate
routes, the system may lead to a route
where a traffic jam occurs instead of leading
to a detour.
. This system can learn and memorize the
route that is most frequently used. However,
despite driving on the same route several
times so that the system can learn the route,
the system may have difficulty learning the
route under the following conditions:
— [Use Time Restricted Roads] is turned on.

DETAILED MAP COVERAGE AREAS
(MCA) FOR NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This system is designed to help guiding to the
destination, and it also performs other functions
as outlined in this manual. However, the system
must be used safely and properly. Information
concerning road conditions, traffic signs and the
availability of services may not always be up-to-
date. The system is not a substitute for safe,
proper and legal driving. Map data covers select metropolitan areas in the United States and
Canada.
Map data includes two types of areas: “Detailed
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
major metropolitan areas.
WHEN GRAY ROAD IS DISPLAYED
ON MAP
. When you are driving on a road displayed in
gray after the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route during route guidance,
automatic rerouting may not start immedi-
ately.
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in dark
green. Therefore, if the destination is set on
a road displayed in dark green, the enlarged
map display will return to the ordinary map
screen at some point on a suggested route
that is near the destination. Also, voice
guidance will stop at some point on a
suggested route that is near the destination.
. Places information and street names near
roads displayed in gray may not be con- tained in the map data.
General system information10-7

— If it is impossible to reach the destinationor waypoints because of traffic regula-
tions, 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”.
. The 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
exactly match the current vehicle loca-
tion.
— 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
another 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
adjusted before recalculating the route. — There are cases in which the system
shows an indirect route to reach the
destination or waypoints, if you set them
from stored or facility information. In
order to correct this, you must be careful
about the traffic direction, especially
when lanes with different travel directions
are shown separately, such as inter-
changes and service areas.
— This system makes no distinction be- tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show an
indirect 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 ferry 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 motor-
cycles, are stored in this system. Take
into consideration the travel time required
and operational condition before decid-
ing whether to use them or not.INFO:
The system will only announce street names
when the system language is set to English.
Street names are not announced when the
system is set to Franc¸ ais (French) .
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
Voice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
NOTE:
. There may be some cases in which
voice guidance and actual road condi-
tions do not correspond. This may
occur because of discrepancies be-
tween the actual road and the informa-
tion on the map data, or it is due to the
vehicle’s speed.
. In case voice guidance does not corre-
spond to the actual road conditions,
follow the information obtained from
traffic signs or notices on the road.
. Route guidance provided by the navi-
gation system does not take carpool
lane driving into consideration, espe-
cially when carpool lanes are separated
from other road lanes.
General system information10-9
ROUTE GUIDANCE

10-12General system information
INFO:
. If is pushed when the vehicle is
deviating from the suggested route and
when the automatic reroute function is off,
voice guidance will announce, “Proceed to
the highlighted route.”
. If is pushed when the vehicle is
going in the wrong direction, voice guidance
will announce: “Please make a legal U-turn if
possible.”
NOTES ON VOICE GUIDANCE
. Voice guidance in this system should be
regarded as a supplementary function.
When driving the vehicle, check the route
on the map and follow the actual roads and
traffic regulations.
. Voice guidance is activated only for inter-
sections with certain conditions. There may
be cases that the vehicle has to turn, but
voice guidance is not provided.
. Voice guidance contents may vary, depend-
ing on the direction of the turn and the type
of intersection.
. The voice guidance timing will vary depend-
ing on the situation. .
When the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route, voice guidance is not
available. The system will not announce this.
Refer to the map and recalculate the route.
“Recalculating route” (page 5-21)
. Voice guidance may not accurately corre-
spond with road numbers and directions at
freeway junctions.
. Voice guidance may not accurately corre-
spond to street names at freeway exits.
. The displayed street names may sometimes
differ from the actual names, or “UN-
KNOWN STREET NAME” may be dis-
played.
. Voice guidance is not available when the
[Guidance Voice] is turned off.
“Turning voice guidance ON/OFF”
(page 2-22)
. Voice guidance will start when the vehicle
enters the suggested route. Refer to the
map for directions to the starting point of the
route.
. When approaching a waypoint, voice gui-
dance will announce, “You have arrived at
waypoint 1 (2, 3, 4,...) .” Voice guidance will
switch to the next section of the route. When
voice guidance is not available, refer to the
map for directions. .
In some cases, voice guidance ends before
arrival at the destination. Refer to the
destination icon on the map to reach the
destination.
. If the system recognizes on which side the
destination (waypoint) is located, voice
guidance will announce “on the right/left”
after announcing the arrival at the destina-
tion.
. Voice guidance may be partially operational
or inoperative due to the angle of roads at an
intersection.
. Because freeway lane information is avail-
able only for approximately 7,000 major
freeways in North America, it is not possible
to display information for all junctions and
exits.
. Freeway exit information may differ from the
information on the actual exit signs.
. Because it is not possible to consider data
concerning roads that are seasonally avail-
able or unavailable, a route may be displayed
that does not match the actual traffic
restrictions. Be sure to follow the actual
traffic restrictions while driving.
. Canada and Alaska contain many roads with
incomplete map data. As a result, when
searching for a route, the route may include
