XM NavTraffic®information is a subscription
service offered by XM®Satellite Radio.
This service provides real-time information
regarding traffic flow, accidents, road construc-
tion and other incidents, where available.
XM NavTraffic
®combines information from
commercial and public traffic data providers
including government departments of transpor-
tation, police, emergency services, road sen-
sors, cameras and aircraft reports. The traffic
information is broadcast to the vehicle by the
XM
®satellites. Available traffic information on
the route the driver selected is shown on the
navigation screen so traffic conditions between
you and the destination are known. Three types
of real-time traffic information for major road-
ways are shown on the navigation system:
* Unscheduled traffic data for example, acci-
dents and disabled vehicles.
* Scheduled traffic data, for example road
construction and road closures.
* Traffic flow information (rate of speed data) .
WARNING
XM NavTraffic®information is not a
substitute for attentive driving. Traffic
conditions change constantly and emergency situations can arise with-
out warning. Relying only on XM
NavTraffic
®information may lead to
a collision and could result in serious
personal injury.
NOTE:
Flow information is provided only for
roads equipped with traffic sensors and
is not available in all markets covered by
the service. Flow data may not be available
on portions of a road that is under
construction.
XM NavTraffic
®information is available in limited
markets. To subscribe or to check if this service
is available in your area:

DETOUR
If you want to make a detour due to traffic
conditions, you can use the Detour function to
calculate an alternative route. The NISSAN
Navigation System can calculate a route using
secondary roads that will return you to primary
roads after a specified number of miles.
For more information on the Detour function,
refer to section 5.
BirdviewTM
Two map types, 2-dimensional Plan View and 3-
dimensional BirdviewTM, are available in the
NISSAN Navigation System. BirdviewTMdis-
plays the map from an elevated perspective. In
Birdview
TM, it is easy to recognize an image of
the route because it provides a panoramic view
over a long distance.
For more information on Birdview
TM, refer to
section 3.
VOICE GUIDANCE
Route guidance is provided through voice and
visual instructions. Voice guidance announces
the appropriate directions when approaching an
intersection at which you need to turn.
For more information on voice guidance, refer to
section 5.
DISPLAY OF CURRENT VEHICLE LO-
CATION
This navigation system combines the data
obtained from the vehicle (by gyro sensor) and
from GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites
to calculate the current location of the vehicle.
This position is then displayed throughout route
guidance to a destination.
WHAT IS GPS (Global Positioning
System)?
GPS is a position detecting system that uses
satellites deployed by the U.S. government. This
navigation system receives radio signals from
three or more different satellites that orbit
13,049 miles (21,000 km) above the earth in
space, and detects the position of the vehicle by
utilizing the principle of triangulation.
Positioning adjustment
When the system judges that the vehicle
position information is not accurate based on
vehicle speed and gyro sensor data calculations,
the system will automatically adjust the position
of the vehicle icon using GPS signals.
Receiving signals from GPS satellites
The reception of GPS signals can be weak,
depending on the environment. Vehicles in the
following areas/environments may not receive

General system information10-3

.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
roads with incomplete data. In regions
where road data is not complete, voice
guidance may stop for long periods of time.
Be sure to follow the actual traffic restric-
tions while driving. .
The XM NavTraffic®information service is
not provided for some cities. In addition, the
cities for which the traffic information service
is provided may be changed.
. In some cases, infrastructure problems may
prevent the complete display of the traffic
information. This is not a malfunction.
. Due to infrastructure problems, or due to the
time when the traffic information service
broadcast is received, the displayed infor-
mation may differ from the actual traffic
conditions.
. Depending on the traffic information, a
detour route may be slower than the original
route.

problems (e.g. malfunction of road sensors,
outage of central computer of infrastructure)
or natural disasters, there are times when
some or all traffic information may not be
available.
. Incident information is based on human
collection. Not all incidents that have hap-
pened are collected and provided.
. Due to infrastructure problems, or transmis-
sion delay, there are times when the
information may differ from the actual con-
dition. Always observe safe driving practices
and follow all traffic regulations.
. Due to the coverage and quality of traffic
information and road conditions, it is not
always possible for the system to provide
the shortest time route even when traffic
information is considered.
. Traffic information that is displayed may
differ from information from other media

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
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 19
MPH for about 30 minutes) to automatically correct
the vehicle icon position.
If this does not correct the vehicle icon position,
contact a NISSAN 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.
