VIEWING TRAFFIC INFORMA-
TION
SiriusXM Traffic information is a subscription
service offered by SiriusXM Satellite Radio.
This service provides real-time information re-
garding traffic flow, accidents, road construction
and other incidents, where available.
SiriusXM Traffic combines information from
commercial and public traffic data providers
including government departments of transpor-
tation, police, emergency services, road sensors,
cameras and aircraft reports. The traffic informa-
tion is broadcast to the vehicle by the SiriusXM
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 roadways
are shown on the navigation system:
* Unscheduled traffic data for example, accidents
and disabled vehicles.
* Scheduled traffic data, for example road
construction and road closures.
* Traffic flow information (rate of speed data) .
WARNING
SiriusXM Traffic information is not a
substitute for attentive driving. Traffic
conditions change constantly and emer-
gency situations can arise without warn-
ing. Relying only on SiriusXM Traffic
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.
. A SiriusXM Traffic subscription is ne-
cessary to view Traffic Info.

. Due to road maintenance, infrastructure
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 informa-
tion may differ from the actual condition.
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 in-
formation is considered.
. Traffic information that is displayed may differ
from information from other media (e.g.,
radio) , as other media may use different
information sources.

6. Viewing information

CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATION
DISPLAY OF CURRENT VEHICLE
LOCATION
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 detect the position of the vehicle by
utilizing the principle of triangulation.
Positioning adjustment
When the system judges that the vehicle position
is not accurate based on vehicle speed and gyro
sensor data calculations, the system will auto-
matically 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
GPS signals.
*Inside tunnels or parking garages
*In areas with numerous tall buildings
*Under multi-layered highways
*Areas with numerous tall trees

9. General system information

VEHICLE ICON
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ be-
tween 2D view and Birdview
TM. This is because the quantity of the displayed information is
reduced so that the screen does not become too cluttered.
There is also a chance that names of the roads or locations may
be displayed multiple times, and the names appearing on the
screen may be different because of a processing procedure. This is not a malfunction.
The location of the vehicle icon is misaligned
from the actual position. The vehicle was transported after the power switch was placed
in the OFF position, for example, by a ferry or car transporter. Drive the vehicle for a period of time on a road
where GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon may be incorrect
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
period of time to automatically correct the position
and direction of the vehicle icon.
“Current vehicle location” (page 9-2)
Driving with tire chains or tires that have been replaced may
result in an incorrect vehicle location display due to miscalcu-
lation by the speed sensor. Drive the vehicle for a period of time (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,
contact a NISSAN certified LEAF 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.
When the vehicle is traveling on a new road,
the vehicle icon is located on another road
nearby. Because the new road is not stored in the map data, the system
automatically places the vehicle icon on the nearest road
available. Updated road information will be included in the
next version of the map data.

The screen does not switch to the night
screen even after turning on the headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights were
turned on. Set the screen to the night screen mode using
