N I SSAN 350Z ADDITIONAL FEATU R E S
MIRROR ADJUSTMENT
The rear view mirror has two pivot points for adjustments.
Adjust the rear view mirror height at the rear pivot and tilt
the mirror at the front pivot. Position the mirror to provide
the best visibility through the rear window.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
This system monitors tire pressure. Please remember, this system
does not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example, a
blowout while driving). It also does not monitor the air pressure in
the spare tire.
If the low tire pressure warning light comes on, check the tire
pressure in all four tires. Adjust the low tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire
pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label to turn the low tire pressure
warning light off.
If TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 60 seconds when the key is turned on. The light will remain on after the
60 seconds. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
SCREW-IN RECOVERY HOOK
 Your vehicle is supplied with a screw-in recovery
hook for pulling the vehicle forward. For example:
Pulling the vehicle onto a flat bed for towing.
 The screw-in recovery hook tool is located in the
right rear luggage compartment area under the
cover along with the vehicle jack.
To install the recovery hook:

Remove the recovery hook cover from the
front bumper.
 Install the recovery hook as shown in the photo.
Turn it clockwise until securely tightened.

SECONDARY REAR HATCH RELEASE
Your vehicle is equipped with a secondary

rear hatch release mechanism. This allows opening
of the rear hatch in the event of a discharged
battery or in an emergency.
 The secondary rear hatch release is located
under the strut tower bar (Coupe), or inside the

storage bin compartment (Roadster - upper
right side).
 To open the rear hatch from the inside, firmly
pull the release handle to the left towards the
passenger side until the lock releases.
POWER WINDOWS
The power windows operate when the ignition key is in the
ON position, and for about
45 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the
OFF position.
Automatic Adjusting Function:
The front door power windows have an automatic adjusting function. This ensures the
windows close completely to help seal against wind noise and weather leaks.
When the doors are closed, the windows
automatically raise slightly.
When
the front doors are being
opened, the windows automatically
lower slightly to avoid contact between
the windows and the side roof panels.
SEATBACK TILT CANCEL SWITCH (Roadster only)
The passenger seat of the 350Z Roadster automatically tilts
forward when operating the soft top. This function can be
cancelled by pushing the seatback tilt cancel switch to the
CANCEL position. Push the seatback tilt cancel switch to the
AUTO position to reactivate the power seatback tilt switch.
If the seatback tilt cancel switch is in the
CANCEL position,
the seatback tilt paddle switch (located on the back of the
passenger seat) will not work. In this situation, tilt the passenger
seatback forward using the power seat position switch.
