James5582davies Posted June 11, 2013 Share 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?

ATTAK Z Posted June 11, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted June 11, 2013 Share 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..!!

14N Posted June 11, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted June 11, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted June 11, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James5582davies Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share 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.?

JetSet Posted June 11, 2013 Share 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.
