NEW SYSTEM FEATURES

REAR SONAR SYSTEM (if so equipped)

With the shift lever in the R (REVERSE)

position, this system will sound a tone to alert you of obstacles up to 5.9 ft (1.8 m) from the bumper with a decreased coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper.

The rate of the tone increases as the vehicle gets closer to the obstacle. A continuous

tone sounds when an obstacle is less than 10 in (25 cm) from the bumper.

Turn the system off by pushing the Rear Sonar System OFF switch 1. Push the

switch again to activate the system.

For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

indicate vehicle width and approximate distances to objects with reference to the vehicle body line.

• Red 1.5 ft (0.5 m); Yellow 3 ft (1 m); Green 7 ft (2 m) and 10 ft (3 m).

For more information, refer to the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems (section 4)” of your Owner’s Manual.

HILL START ASSIST (HSA) (if so equipped)

The HSA system allows time for the driver to release the brake pedal and apply the accelerator when the vehicle is parked on a hill. The brakes are applied automatically for 2 seconds after the driver releases the brake pedal.

delivery time are shown on the control panel display when the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h).

Text messages have the option of being read aloud at all vehicle speeds.

Many cellular phones may require special permission to enable text messaging.

For some cellular phones, you need to enable “Notiﬁcations” in the cellular phone’s Bluetooth® menu for text messages to appear on the touch-screen display. For more information and instructions, refer to your cellular phone’s Owner’s Manual.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)

A CHECK TIRE PRES warning message will display in the trip computer

the low tire pressure warning light

will illuminate when one or more tires are low in

pressure and air is needed.

• The tire pressures should be checked when the tires are cold. The tires are considered cold after the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours or more or driven less than 1 mi (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.

After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds

above 16 mph (25 km/h). The CHECK TIRE PRES warning message and the low tire pressure warning light will extinguish.

When the low tire pressure warning light ﬂashes for approximately 1 minute and then

remains on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.

Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation

and the outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of the air inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inﬂation pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in your tires.

• Check the tire pressures (including the spare tire) often and always prior to long distance trips.

The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to

the “Technical and consumer information (section 9)” of your Owner’s Manual for the location of the Tire and Loading Information label.

For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”, the “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.
