By using the Avoid Area feature, you can identify
areas or freeways that you would like the
NISSAN Navigation System to avoid when plot-
ting routes. For example, if you know of a freeway
or area that is always congested with traffic, you
can program the NISSAN Navigation System to
plot routes that go around that particular freeway
or area.
For more information on the Avoid Area feature,
please refer to section 8.If you miss a turn while using the Route Guid-
ance feature, the NISSAN Navigation System
will automatically recalculate a new route to your
destination.
For more information on the Automatic Re-route
feature, please refer to section 9.If you hear about a traffic accident on the radio
that is 4 miles (6 km) ahead of you and traffic is
backing up fast, you can use the Detour function
to calculate an alternative route that will help you
avoid the gridlock caused by the traffic accident.
The NISSAN Navigation System has the ability
to find an alternative route using secondary
roads that will return you to primary roads after a
specified number of miles.
For more information on the Detour feature,
please refer to section 9.

careful about the traffic direction, espe-
cially when the lanes with different travel
directions are shown separately. Such
places are interchanges and service
areas.
– This system makes no distinction be-
tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show a de-
toured route even if the road is usable.
– Even if the freeway preference is set to
OFF, the route may be set on them. To
avoid this, set a waypoint on another
road type and request calculation.
– Even if the preference is set as OFF for a
ferry line, the route may be set on it. To
avoid this, set a waypoint on a road and
request calculation.
– Ferry lines, except those which accept
only pedestrians, bicycles and
motorcycles, are stored in this system.
When using them, take into consider-
ation the travel time required and opera-
tional condition to decide whether to use
them or not.ABOUT THE DISPLAY ERROR
The following cases may affect the display accu-
racy of the vehicle’s position or travel direction.
The accuracy will return to normal if the driving
conditions return to normal:
– When there is a similar road nearby.
– When the vehicle is traveling on a long stretch
of straight road or series of curves with a large
radius.
– When the vehicle is traveling in an area with a
checkerboard road system.
– When the vehicle is making consecutive S
curves.
– When the vehicle is at a large Y-shaped
junction.
– When the vehicle is on a loop bridge.
– When the vehicle is on a snow-covered or un-
paved road.
– When the vehicle has made several consecu-
tive turns or zigzags.
– When the vehicle is rotated on a parking lot
turntable while the ignition switch is OFF.

Symptom Possible cause Remedy
Although the system is set with the moving direction as the
preference, it does not find the route by matching the
preference.There is no route found in that direction. This condition is not abnormal.
Route is not indicated. There is no road that can be found by this system close to
the destination.Reset the destination closer to the road displayed in
orange. Especially with roads which have separate lanes
for opposite directions, be careful in setting the destination
or waypoints on it, because results may differ depending
on the lane you choose.
The starting point to the destination is too close. Set more distant destinations.
The present location is about 1,100 miles (1,770 km) away
from the destination.Set the destination to within 1,100 miles (1,770 km) .
The route is not displayed continuously at waypoints, for
example, that are not calculated route from the vehicle’s
current position.Suggested routes may be displayed discontinuously near
waypoints as route calculation is done at each waypoint.This condition is not abnormal.
The suggested route the vehicle has traveled is erased. Suggested routes are stored in memory by the blocks; if
the vehicle travels past waypoint block 1, the previous data
will be erased.This condition is not abnormal.
A route with many detours is suggested. If there are restrictions (such as one-way traffic) on roads
close to the starting point or destination, the system may
suggest a detoured route.Try slightly moving the starting point or destination.
The landmark description does not correspond to the ac-
tual one.This may be caused by insufficient or incorrect data on the
DVD-ROM.Exchange the Map DVD-ROM. The new DVD-ROM will be
updated.
The suggested route does not exactly connect to the start-
ing point, waypoints, or destination.There is no data for route calculation closer to these points. Set these points on the main road displayed in thick
orange. Please note that in some cases even main roads
lack the data for route calculation.
