With the ignition switch in the ON position, the

Around View® Monitor is activated by pressing the CAMERA button or by moving the shift lever to the R (REVERSE) position. The control panel displays various views of the position of the vehicle.

When the shift lever is in the P (PARK),

N (NEUTRAL) or D (DRIVE) position and the CAMERA button 01 is pressed, the front view and

bird’s eye view screen is displayed.

When the CAMERA button 01 is pressed again the

CAMERA AIDED SONAR parking sensor

If the Camera Aided Sonar (parking sensor)

detects objects toward the rear of the vehicle while in R (REVERSE), a beep will sound until the object is within 3 ft (1 m). Then, a continuous audible sound is heard.

Either in bird’s-eye view or front-side view a red, yellow,

or green ﬁeld will be displayed dependent on how far the object is from the rear of the vehicle, and where the object is detected.

To temporarily disable the sonar (parking sensor), follow this procedure:

1. Start with the vehicle in the P (PARK) position.

2. Move the shift lever to the R (REVERSE) position.

3. On the vehicle information display you will be prompted to turn off the sonar (parking

sensor) by pressing the

button 01.

• When the sonar (parking sensor) is disabled, in the bird’s-eye view you will temporarily see a

ﬂashing grey sonar icon and red brackets on the corners of the vehicle that will stay until the system is re-enabled.

The Sonar system will be restored when you move the shift lever out of R (REVERSE),

and then back into R (REVERSE).

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) with Easy Fill Tire Alert

A Tire Pressure Low – Add Air warning message

will appear in the vehicle information display 01 and the low tire pressure warning light 02 will illuminate when one or more tires are low on 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.

When adding air to an under-inﬂated tire, the

TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert provides visual and audible signals to help you inﬂate the tires to the recommended COLD tire pressure.

To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert:

1. Move the shift lever to the P (PARK) position and apply the parking brake.

2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position. Do not start the engine.

3. Add air to the under-inﬂated tire and within a few seconds, the hazard warning lights will

start ﬂashing.

4. When the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the hazard

warning lights will stop ﬂashing.

5. Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inﬂated tires.

After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h).

The Tire Pressure Low – Add Air warning message and low tire pressure warning light will disappear.

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.

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

9, “Technical and consumer information” in 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.
