SAFETY INFORMATION This system is primarily designed to help you reach your destination, and it performs other functions as outlined in this manual. However the driver must use the system safely and properly. Information concerning road conditions, traffic signs and the availability of services may not always be up-to-date. The system is not a substitute for safe, proper and legal driving. Before using the navigation system, please read the following safety information. Always use the system as outlined in this manual. FEATURES OF THIS NAVIGATION SYSTEM ● Do not use this system if you notice any malfunctions such as a frozen screen or lack of sound. Continued use of the system may result in accidents, fire or electrical shock. ● If you notice any foreign objects in the system hardware, spill liquid on the system or notice smoke or a smell, stop using the system immediately and contact a NISSAN dealer. Ignoring such conditions may lead to accidents, fire or electrical shock. ROUTE GUIDANCE The 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 you set the destination in a map coverage area, the NISSAN Navigation System will calculate a route from your current location to your destination. The real-time map display and turnby-turn voice guidance leads the driver along the route. These features can be especially 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 destination, refer to Section 4. ● When the driver wants to operate the navigation system, first park the vehicle in a safe location and set the parking brake. Operating the system while driving can distract the driver and may result in a serious accident. ● Do not rely on route guidance alone. Always be sure that all driving maneuvers are legal and safe in order to avoid accidents. ● Do not disassemble or modify this system. If you do, it may result in accidents, fire or electrical shock. m WARNING CAUTION ● Some states or provinces may have laws limiting the use of video screens while driving. Use this system only where it is legal to do so. NOTE: Do not keep the navigation system running with the engine stopped. Doing so may discharge the vehicle battery.
