NISSAN GT-R 2011 Owners Manual

Black plate (307,1)
Model "R35-N" EDITED: 2009/ 10/ 30
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 your NISSAN dealer or GT-R certified
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.

ROUTE CALCULATION AND VISUAL
GUIDANCE
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Waypoints are not included in the auto
reroute calculation. Waypoints that have been already passed are not included in the auto
reroute calculation. To go to that waypoint again, edit 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 set to off. Turn on route guidance.
Route information is not provided for certain types of roads (roads
displayed in gray) . This is not a malfunction.
The auto 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.
A waypoint cannot be added. Five waypoints are already set on the route, including ones that the
vehicle has already passed. A maximum of 5 waypoints can be set on the route. To
go to 6 or more waypoints, perform route calculations
multiple times as necessary.
[Calculate] must be selected for route calculation after Waypoints are
selected from the “Edit/Add to Route” screen. Highlight [Calculate] and push
after select-
ing waypoints.
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.
There are time restricted roads (by the day of the week, by time) near
the current vehicle location or destination. Set [Use Time Restricted Roads] to off.
“Setting conditions for route calculation” page 2-
65
A part of the route is not displayed. The suggested route includes narrow streets (roads displayed in gray) . This is not a malfunction.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The part of the route that the vehicle has
already passed is deleted. A route is managed by sections between waypoints. If the vehicle
passed the first waypoint, the section between the starting point and the
waypoint is deleted (it may not be deleted depending on the area) . This is not a malfunction.
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 map data.
Updated information will be included in the next version
of the map data.
The suggested route does not exactly
connect to the starting point, waypoints,
or destination. There is no data for route calculation closer to these locations. Set the starting point, waypoints and destination on a
main road, and perform route calculation.

VOICE GUIDANCE
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Voice guidance is not available. Voice guidance is only available at certain intersections marked with
.
In some cases, voice guidance is not available even when the vehicle
should make a turn. This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle has deviated from the suggested route. Go back to the suggested route or request route
calculation again.
Voice guidance is set to off. Turn on voice guidance.
Route guidance is set to off. Turn on route guidance.
The guidance content does not correspond
to the actual condition. The content of voice guidance may vary, depending on the types of
intersections at which turns are made. Follow all traffic rules and regulations.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The traffic information is not
displayed. The traffic information is not set to on.
Set the traffic information to on.
The vehicle is in an area where traffic information is not
available. Scroll to an area where traffic information is available.
The subscription to XM NavTraffic
®is incomplete, or the
subscription to XM NavTraffic
®has expired. Check the subscription status of XM NavTraffic
®.
The map scale is set at a level where the display of icons is
impossible. Check that the map scale is set at a level in which the display of icons is
possible.
“Traffic information display and scale levels” page 6-12
With the automatic detour
route search ON, no detour
route is set to avoid congested
areas. There is no faster route compared to the current route, based
on the road network and traffic information.
The automatic detour search is not intended for avoiding traffic jams. It
searches for the fastest route taking into consideration such things as
traffic jams. Follow the current route. Also see “NOTES ON TRAFFIC
INFORMATION” for further information.
The route does not avoid a
road section with traffic infor-
mation stating that it is closed
due to road construction. The navigation system is designed not to avoid this event
because the actual period of closure may differ from the
declared roadwork period.
Observe the actual road conditions and follow the instructions on the road
for detour when necessary. If the road actually is closed, use the detour
function and set the detour distance to avoid the road section that is
closed.

SymptomCause and Countermeasure
Cannot play Check if the disc or USB device was inserted correctly.
Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Check if there is condensation inside the player, and if there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before using the
player.
If there is a temperature increase error, the player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.
If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and compressed audio files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data) will be
played.
Files with extensions other than “.MP3 (.mp3)”, “.WMA (.wma)”, “.AAC (.aac)”, “.M4A (.m4a)”, or “.AA3 (.aa3)” cannot be played. In
addition, the character codes and number of characters for folder names and file names should be in compliance with the
specifications.
Check if the disc or the file is generated in an irregular format. This may occur depending on the variation or the setting of compressed
audio writing applications or other text editing applications.
Check if the finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.
Check if the disc or USB device is protected by copyright.
Poor sound quality Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
It takes a relatively long time before
the music starts playing. If there are many folder or file levels on the disc or USB device, some time may be required before the music starts playing.
Music cuts off or skips The writing software and hardware combination might not match, or the writing speed, writing depth, writing width, etc., might not
match the specifications. Try using the slowest writing speed.
Skipping with high bit rate files Skipping may occur with large quantities of data, such as for high bit rate data.
Move immediately to the next song
when playing. If an unsupported compressed audio file has been given a supported extension like .MP3, or when play is prohibited by copyright
protection, the player will skip to the next song.
The songs do not play back in the
desired order. The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing software, so the files might not play in the desired order.
Random/Shuffle may be active on the audio system or on a USB device.

The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, try the following solutions.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until the problem is resolved.SymptomSolution
System fails to interpret the command
correctly. 1. Ensure that the command is valid.
“Voice recognition” page 8-1
2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.
3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle.
4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on) . NOTE: If it is too noisy to use
the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.
5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.
The system consistently selects the
wrong voicetag. 1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored.
“VEHICLE PHONEBOOK” page 4-4
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.
