ROUTE GUIDANCE
The main features of the NISSAN Navigation
System are visual guidance and voice guidance
in selected map coverage areas. Utilizing a net-
work of GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites, the NISSAN Navigation System tracks
the location on the map and navigates to a pre-
ferred location.
Once you set the destination in a map coverage
area, the NISSAN Navigation System will calcu-
late a route from your current location to your
destination. The real-time map display and turn-
by-turn voice guidance leads the driver along the
route. These features can be especially helpful
when driving to unfamiliar locations.
The system may be unable to set a destination
and/or calculate a route when the destination is
outside the map coverage area. Additionally,
voice guidance may not be available if the desti-
nation is outside the map coverage area. For
more information on how to set a destination, re-
fer to Section 4.
SAFETY INFORMATION FEATURES OF THIS NAVIGATION
SYSTEM
6-2General system information

PLACES DIRECTORY
The NISSAN Navigation System offers an exten-
sive Places directory in map coverage areas.
This directory includes a wide variety of
destinations. By accessing the Places directory,
you can search for addresses for a destination,
and just by pushing a button, the NISSAN Navi-
gation System will calculate a route to the
destination.
The Places directory has many uses. For
example, the directory can be sorted by the vari-
ous types of restaurants near your current
location. If you need a bank or a gas station, the
NISSAN Navigation System can navigate you to
the closest preferred location using the Places
entered in the system.
“SETTING A DESTINATION FROM
PLACES” (page 4-14)
ADDRESS BOOK
The address book can store up to 50 locations
from map coverage areas into a personal
directory. This is especially useful for frequently
visited locations, such as clients, relatives and
friends. The address book function allows easy
access to frequently visited locations when set-
ting them as your destination.
“SETTING A DESTINATION FROM
THE ADDRESS BOOK” (page 4-10)
XM NAVTRAFFICINFORMATION
When available, the XM NavTraffic Information
broadcast may help to avoid delays due to traffic
incidents. Traffic jams, roadwork, closed roads
around the current location, etc. are represented
graphically on the map by icons depicting the
nature of the event. Incidents on the route are
automatically displayed when they are
approached.
The XM NavTraffic Information feature, via the
guidance mode, may help to detour around traf-
fic problems. For more information on the XM
NavTraffic Information feature, refer to section
4.
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. To repeat
the voice guidance, touch the “Voice” key.
The voice guidance can be alternately enabled
or disabled by touching and holding the “Voice”
key on the screen for about two seconds. When
the voice guidance is disabled, the “Voice” key
on the screen will appear grayed out.

General system information6-3

DISPLAY OF CURRENT VEHICLE
LOCATION
This navigation system combines the data ob-
tained 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 guid-
ance 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.
DETAILED MAP COVERAGE (MCA)
FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This system is designed to help you reach your
destination, and also performs other functions as
outlined in this manual. However, you, the driver,
must use the system safely and properly. Infor-
mation 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 is available on the provided SD-card.
For information about the map SD-card, contact
a NISSAN dealer.
Map data includes 2 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 ma-
jor metropolitan areas.
WHEN A GRAY ROAD IS DIS-
PLAYED ON THE MAP
● Route calculation may not be possible when a
destination or the current vehicle location is
near a gray road.
● Route guidance (enlarged view and voice
guidance) may not be done at the intersection
where the road your vehicle is driving on and a
gray road intersect.
● Places information and street names near
gray roads are not contained in the map data. ●
The NISSAN Navigation System may not cal-
culate a route if the current vehicle location is
too far away from the destination. In this case,
please divide your trip by selecting one or two
intermediate destinations.
● To reach your destination, refer to the map
screen. Always follow actual roads and regu-
lations and drive safely.
● The suggested route may not be the shortest,
nor are other circumstances such as traffic
jams considered unless the XM NavTraffic is
active.
● Because of the inevitable difference in road
conditions and circumstances between the
time you use this system and the time the in-
formation was produced for the map data,
there may be discrepancies in roads and
regulations. In such cases, follow the actual
information available.
● During route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move with
the actual vehicle’s movement.
● In some cases, after the calculation is
complete, the calculated route may not be im-
mediately displayed.
● If you scroll the map while the suggested
route is being drawn, it may take more time to
finish drawing.

BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
The voice guidance announces which direction
to follow when approaching an intersection
where a turn is required.
After setting the route, select “Start” to begin
route guidance.
During route guidance, the system navigates you
through the guide points using visual and voice
guidance.
NOTE:
● The navigation system visual and voice guid-
ance is for reference purposes only. The con-
tents of the guidance may be inappropriate
depending on the situation.
● There may be some cases in which voice
guidance and actual road conditions do not
correspond. This may occur because of dis-
crepancies between the actual road and the
information on the map data, or due to the ve-
hicle’s speed.
● In case voice guidance does not correspond
to the actual road conditions, follow the infor-
mation obtained from traffic signs or noticed
on the road. ●
Route guidance provided by the navigation
system does not take carpool lane driving into
consideration, especially when carpool lanes
are separated from other road lanes.
DIRECTIONS PROVIDED AND THE
DISTANCES TO GUIDE POINTS
Directions will differ, depending on the road
type.
INFO:
Distances may vary, depending on the vehicle
speed.
Notification when approaching the
destination
Ordinary road:
The voice guidance will warn you when ap-
proaching your destination. To reach your desti-
nation precisely, refer to the map screen.
REPEATING VOICE GUIDANCE
This function is available throughout route
guidance, from the time after the route calcula-
tion is completed until the vehicle arrives at the
destination.
Touch the “Voice” key.
Voice guidance will be repeated.
INFO:
● If you touch the “Voice” key when you have
deviated from the suggested route, voice
