3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes from [
]to[
], speak a
command.
Operating tips. If the command is not recognized, the
system announces, “Please say again”.
Repeat the command in a clear voice.
. Push once to return to the
previous screen.
. To cancel the command, push and hold
>. The message, “Voice can-
celed” will be announced.
. Push >to stop the voice prompt
and give the command at once. Remember
to wait for the tone before speaking.
. To adjust the volume of the system feed-
back, push the volume control buttons [+] or
[] on the steering wheel switch or use the
audio system volume control knob while the
system is making an announcement.
How to speak numbersNISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers when giving voice
commands. Refer to the following examples. General rule:
Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be used. For
example, to say 500, “five zero zero” can be
used, but “five hundred” cannot.
Examples:
1-800-662-6200
“One eight zero zero six six two six two zero
zero”
Improving Recognition of Phone numbers:
Recognition of phone numbers can be improved
by saying the phone number in 3 groups of
numbers. For example, to call 800-662-6200,
speak “Eight Zero Zero” first, and the system will
then ask to speak the next three digits. Then, say
“Six Six Two”. After recognition, the system will
then ask to speak the last 4 digits. Say, “Six Two
Zero Zero”. Using this method of phone digit
entry can improve recognition performance.
INFO:
For best recognition, speak “zero” for the
number “0” and “oh” for the letter “o”.

General system information
ROUTE GUIDANCEThe main features of the NISSAN Navigation
System are visual guidance and voice guidance
in selected map coverage areas. Utilizing a
network of GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites, the NISSAN Navigation System tracks
the location on the map and navigates to a
preferred location.
Once the destination is set in a map coverage
area, the NISSAN Navigation System will
calculate a route from the current location to
the destination. The real-time map display and
turn-by-turn voice guidance leads the driver
along the route. These features can be espe-
cially 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
destination is outside the map coverage area.
For more information on how to set a destina-
tion, refer to section 4.PLACES OF INTEREST (PLACES) DI-
RECTORYThe NISSAN Navigation System offers an
extensive places of interest (Places) directory
in map coverage areas. This directory includes a
wide variety of destinations ranging from gas
stations, ATMs, and restaurants to casinos, ski resorts, shopping centers and businesses. A
point of interest can be searched by category,
name or phone number. After selecting a
destination, the NISSAN Navigation System will
calculate a route to that destination.
The Places directory has many uses. For
example, the directory can be sorted by the
various types of restaurants near the current
location. If an ATM or gas station is needed, the
NISSAN Navigation System can navigate to the
closest preferred location.
For more information on how to use the Places
directory, refer to section 4.
ADDRESS BOOKThe Address Book can store up to 300 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
setting them as your destination.
For more information on how to use the Address
Book, refer to section 6.AVOID AREAThe Avoid Area function sets areas or freeways
that the NISSAN Navigation System does not
include in the suggested route when calculating
routes. For example, if a freeway or area that is
always congested with traffic.
For more information on the Avoid Area function,
refer to section 6.
XM NavTraffic
®INFORMATION
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 brought to the attention when they
are approached.
The XM NavTraffic
®Information feature, via the
guidance mode, may help to detour around
traffic problems. For more information on the XM
NavTraffic
®Information feature, refer to section
5.
AUTOMATIC REROUTEWhen detecting a deviation from the suggested
route, the NISSAN Navigation System will
automatically recalculate a new route to the
destination.
For more information on the Automatic reroute
function, refer to section 5.

SYSTEM

[ Edit: 2011/ 6/ 13 Model: 08NJ-N ]
DETOURTo make a detour due to traffic conditions, the
Detour function calculates an alternative route.
The NISSAN Navigation System can calculate a
route using secondary roads that will return to
primary roads after a specified number of miles.
For more information on the Detour function,
refer to section 5.Birdview
TM
Two map types, the 2D (Plan View) map and
Birdview
TM
(3D)map,areavailableinthe
NISSAN Navigation System. Birdview
TM
map
displays the map from an elevated perspective.
In Birdview
TM
map, it is easy to recognize an
image of the route because it provides a
panoramic view over a long distance.
For more information on Birdview
TM
map, refer
to section 3.
VOICE GUIDANCERoute guidance is provided through voice and
visual instructions. Voice guidance announces
the appropriate directions when approaching an
intersection to turn.
For more information on voice guidance, refer to
section 5.
DISPLAY OF CURRENT VEHICLE LO-
CATIONThis 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 detects the position of the vehicle by
utilizing the principle of triangulation.Positioning adjustmentWhen the system judges that the vehicle
position information is not accurate based on
vehicle speed and gyro sensor data calculations,
the system will automatically adjust the position
of the vehicle icon using GPS signals.
