APPROACHING VEHICLE SOUND FOR PEDESTRIANS (VSP) SYSTEM

The VSP system helps alert pedestrians to the presence of the vehicle when it is being

driven at a low speed.

When the vehicle starts to move, it produces a sound. The sound stops when the vehicle

speed reaches approximately 19 MPH (30 km/h) while accelerating.

For more information, refer to the “HEV overview (section HEV)” of your Owner’s Manual.

AROUND VIEW® MONITOR SYSTEM WITH CAMERA AIDED SONAR (parking sensor) (if so equipped)

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 CAMERA button 01 is pressed again the

front view and front-side view screen is displayed.

When the shift lever is in the R (REVERSE)

position the rear view and bird’s-eye view screen will be displayed.

When the CAMERA button 01 is pressed, the rear

view and front-side view screen will be displayed.

The colored guide lines on the display screen 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)

There are some areas where the system will not

show objects.

• When in the front or the rear view display, an object

below the bumper or on the ground may not be viewed

• When in the bird’s-eye view, a tall object near the

seam of the camera viewing areas appear in the monitor.

The distance between objects viewed on the

Around View

Monitor System differs from the

actual distance.

Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear further than

the actual distance.

CAMERA AIDED SONAR 

If the Camera Aided Sonar (parking sensor) detects

parking sensor

objects toward the rear of the vehicle while in R (REVERSE), a beep will sound until the object is

within 3 ft. 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 04.

• 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).

essential information

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.

The light will also illuminate when a malfunction occurs in the electric motor or hybrid system.

When this light illuminates while driving, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe location and

contact a NISSAN dealer.

If the hybrid system warning light blinks while driving, it may indicate that the Li-ion battery

charge is low and you cannot continue to drive.

cause welcome lights and other functions to activate creating unwanted battery drain.

The hybrid system is designed for optimum efﬁciency and performance. Activation of the

electric mode may vary with driving conditions and driver input. A full battery display does not indicate the vehicle should be in the electric mode..

For more information, refer to the “Hybrid System Overview” section of your Owner’s Manual.
