James5582davies Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Guys I have just bought this it's a 2003 fairlady. Got satnav DVD player its an automatic. 1) how do I understand all the jap writing on the satnav. 2) what is a snow/power button for and what does it do? Everything seems to work great Bose sound, heated seats, electric seats only done 50000miles. All of the manuals are in Japanese anyway of getting the translated? Quote
ATTAK Z Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 1) how do I understand all the jap writing on the satnav. 2 year language course and then you be able to navigate in Japan seriously though just switch it off ... you'll never be able to use it 2) what is a snow/power button for and what does it do? Not sure ... could be traction control ? Quote
WhackyWill Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Welcome to the Land of Zeds. .. Dont worry about the sat nav it wont work in the UK. Snow power button starts the car in second gear in auto mode. Enjoy the Zed...everybody here will help...well almost everybody..!! Edited June 11, 2013 by WhackyWill 1 Quote
14N Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Helli and James. Turn the sat nav off and turn the snowbutton on when its snowing. It controls power to the rear wheels. Quote
Dblock Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Don't use the snow button ever. Even in snow it's dangerous. Power makes the throttle more responsive and let's you hold the gears slightly longer and kick down faster. Quote

Dblock Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Drive without insurance it's cheaper. Veg oil is good If you sit in the car and open both windows and shout tally ho the bonus glove box opens with a surprise. 4 Quote
James5582davies Posted June 11, 2013 Author Posted June 11, 2013 Thanks again. The guy I bought the car from had it serviced 6monts ago but on the satnav screen it pops up with pit and a little spanner symbol. Sounds like its saying it needs another service or do you think this is just the don't know how to switch it off? Mileage and speedo read in miles. But the trip in km is it easy to change.? Quote

The people / dealer who you bought this Zed from...did they not tell you anything about it...I would find out all this before buying it..!!! :surrender: Quote
JetSet Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 It might be asking you to put a disk into the SatNav CD Player (behind the drivers seat) but in any case the Jap SatNav won't work in the U.K even if you find a U.K map disk. Pete Quote
