NISSAN FRONTIER 2017 D23 / 3.G LC2 Kai Navigation Manual

●If waypoints are set, the system calculates
multiple routes between waypoints
simultaneously, and the following may result.
– 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.
● Route 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 will then appear on the screen.
Try recalculating when the vehicle is
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 will then appear
on the screen.
– If it is impossible to reach the destination or waypoints because of traffic
regulations, etc.
– If the only target route to the destination or waypoints is extremely complicated. ●
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 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.
“VEHICLE ICON” (page 7-3)
– In some cases, the system shows an in- direct route to the destination or way-
points if you set them from stored or
places information. In order to correct,
you must be careful about the traffic
direction, especially when lanes with dif-
ferent travel directions are shown
separately, such as interchanges and
service areas. – 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 the route.
General system information6-13

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
guidance will announce, “Proceed to the
highlighted route.”
● If you touch the “Voice” key when you are go-
ing 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 re-
garded as a supplementary function. When
driving your vehicle, check the route on the
map and follow the actual roads and traffic
regulations.
● Voice guidance is activated only for intersec-
tions with certain conditions.
● There may be cases where the vehicle has to
turn, but voice guidance is not provided.
● Voice guidance contents may vary, depending
on the direction of the turn and the type of
intersection.
● The voice guidance timing will vary depending
on the situation.
ROUTE GUIDANCE
6-14General system information

●When the vehicle has deviated from the sug-
gested route, voice guidance is not available.
The system will not announce this to you. Re-
fer to the map and recalculate the route.
● 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 “UNKNOWN
STREET NAME” may be displayed.
● Voice guidance is not available when the fea-
ture is disabled in the SETTINGS menu.
● Voice guidance will start when the vehicle en-
ters the suggested route. Refer to the map for
directions to the starting point of the route.
● When approaching a waypoint, voice guid-
ance will announce, “You have reached your
intermediate destination on the (left/right)
side.” 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 destina-
tion icon on the map to reach the destination. ●
If the system recognizes on which side the
destination (waypoint) is located, voice guid-
ance will announce “on the right/left” after an-
nouncing the arrival at the destination.
● Voice guidance may be partially operational or
inoperative due to the angle of roads at an
intersection.
● Because it is not possible to consider data
concerning roads that are seasonally available
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 restrictions while
driving. The display is a liquid crystal display and should
be handled with care.
mWARNING
Never disassemble the display. Some
parts utilize extremely high voltage.
Touching them may result in serious
personal injury.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A LIQUID
CRYSTAL DISPLAY
●
If the temperature inside the vehicle is espe-
cially low, the display will stay relatively dim or
the movement of the images may be slow.
These conditions are normal. The display will
function normally when the interior of the ve-
hicle has warmed up.
● Some pixels in the display are darker or
brighter than others. This condition is an in-
herent characteristic of liquid crystal displays,
and it is not a malfunction.
● A remnant of the previous display image may
remain on the screen. This screen burn is in-
herent in displays, and it is not a malfunction.
INFO:
The screen may become distorted by strong
magnetic fields.
HOW TO HANDLE THE DISPLAY
General system information6-15

MAINTENANCE OF THE DISPLAY
CAUTION
●To clean the display, never use a
rough cloth, alcohol, benzine,
thinner, any kind of solvent, or paper
tissues with chemical cleaning agent.
They would scratch or deteriorate the
panel.
● Do not splash any liquid such as wa-
ter or car fragrance on the display.
Contact with liquid will cause the
system to malfunction and damage
the hardware.
For cleaning, use a dry soft cloth. If additional
cleaning is necessary, use a small amount of
neutral detergent with a soft cloth. Never spray
the screen with water or detergent. Dampen the
cloth first, then wipe the screen.

If this occurs, service the vehicle’s battery as necessary and re-enter the information in the Address Book.
BASIC OPERATIONS
7-2Troubleshooting guide

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ between 2D
and 3D mode. This is because the quantity of the displayed information is
reduced so that the screen does not become difficult to read.
There is also a chance that names of the roads or locations
may be displayed several times, and the names appearing on
the screen may be different because of a processing
procedure. This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle icon is not displayed in the correct
position. The vehicle was transported after the ignition switch was
turned off by a ferry or car transporter, for example. 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 incor-
rect depending on the driving environments and the levels of
positioning accuracy of the navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for a while to auto-
matically correct the position and direction of the vehicle icon.
“CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATION” (page 6-12)
When the vehicle is traveling on a new road, the
vehicle icon is located on another road nearby. The system automatically places the vehicle icon on the near-
est available road, because the new road is not stored in the
map data. Updated road information will be included in the next version of
the map SD-card.
The map does not scroll even when the vehicle is
moving. The current location map screen is not displayed.
Press the MAP button.
The vehicle icon is not displayed. The current location map screen is not displayed. Press the MAP button.
The GPS indicator on the screen remains gray. GPS signals cannot be received under certain conditions, such as in a parking garage, on a road with many tall
buildings, etc. Drive on an open, straight road for a while.
A sufficient number of GPS satellites is not available. Wait for the satellites to move to locations available for the navi- gation system.
The location of the vehicle icon is misaligned from
the actual position. When using tire chains or replacing the tires, speed calcula-
tions based on the speed sensor may be incorrect. Drive the vehicle for a while (at approximately 19 mph [30 km/h]
for about 30 minutes) to automatically correct the vehicle icon
position. If this does not correct the vehicle icon position, con-
tact 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.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The message “Error” appears. The SD-card is not recognized by the system. Replace the map SD-card if you see any damage.
In the automatic reroute calculation, the waypoint is not
included. A waypoint that you have already passed is not included in the auto-
matic reroute calculation. If you want to go to that waypoint again, you need to
add it back to the route.
Route information is not displayed. Route calculation has not yet been performed. Set the destination and perform route calculation.
The vehicle is not on the suggested route. Drive on the suggested route.
Route guidance is cancelled. Turn on route guidance.
The automatic reroute calculation (or detour calculation)
suggests the same route as the one previously
suggested. Route calculations took priority conditions into consideration, but
the same route was calculated.
This is not a malfunction.
The suggested route is not displayed. Roads near the destination cannot be calculated. Reset the destination to a main or ordinary 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 the trip by selecting one or two intermediate
destinations, and perform route calculations multiple
times.
An indirect route is suggested. If there are restrictions (such as one-way streets) on roads close to
the starting point or destination, the system may suggest an indirect
route. Adjust the location of the starting point or
destination.
The system may suggest an indirect route because route calculation
does not take into consideration some areas such as narrow streets
(gray roads) . Reset the destination to a main or ordinary road, and
recalculate the route.
The landmark information does not correspond to the
actual information. This may be caused by insufficient or incorrect data on the map
SD-card. Updated information will be included in the next ver-
sion of the map SD-card.
The suggested route does not exactly connect to the
starting point or destination. There is no data for route calculation closer to these locations. Set the starting point and destination on a main road,
and perform route calculation.
