SERVICE INFORMATION

To improve customer satisfaction by providing the correct repair on the first visit, Nissan has revised the procedure for ordering an "exchange" or "new" Audio Visual (A/V) Control Unit for vehicles with the premium navigation systems only (see PROCEDURE).

^ To ensure a proper diagnosis and repair, the technician will need to call TECH LINE to confirm (or assist with) their diagnosis and the proper repair prior to ordering the unit.

^ Clarion will require a confirmation from TECH LINE prior to shipping the exchange unit orders.

^ For the premium navigation system only.

^ Parts will be put on parts restriction and will need to be cleared prior to the order shipping.

^ The warranty claims call center will verify that TECH LINE has recommended replacement as part of the approval process in the event that a new unit is required.

> TECH LINE has the support of engineering and Clarion in diagnosis if required.

NOTE:
All other A/V units will be ordered and shipped through the normal process.

> As usual, most units ordered should be an exchange unit versus a new unit.

This requirement of calling TECH LINE for confirmation to replace an A/V unit will be monitored to ensure the most effective and accurate method of repair. Future changes or adjustments may be made to this process to increase repair timeliness and/or customer satisfaction.

A NEW UNIT IS REQUIRED ONLY IF:

^ The vehicle has not yet been sold.

^ The customer requests a new unit on a Non-warranty repair.

^ The exchange unit is not available.

^ Insurance claim replacement.

NOTE:
Nissan would also recommend that this procedure is used for non warranty repairs to ensure that a proper diagnosis and repair are performed.
