AUTOMATIC ANTI-GLARE INSIDE
MIRROR (if so equipped)The inside mirror is designed so that it automati-
cally changes reflection according to the inten-
sity of the headlights of the vehicle following you.
The anti-glare system will be automatically
turned on when you turn the ignition switch to
the ON position.
When the inside MIRROR switch
A
is turned
on (The indicator light
B
will illuminate), exces-
sive glare from the headlights of the vehicle
behind you will be reduced. Push the MIRROR
switch
A
to turn the system off (the indicatorlight goes off), and the inside mirror will operate
normally.
To turn on the system again, push the MIRROR
switch once again.
For the HomeLink
Universal Transceiver and
the compass display, see the description in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section.
Do not hang any object on the mirror or
apply glass cleaner. Doing so will reduce
the sensitivity of the sensor, resulting in
improper operation.

The automatic drive positioner system has two
features:
Entry/exit function
Memory storageENTRY/EXIT FUNCTIONThis system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and outside mirror will automatically move when
the selector lever is in the P (Park) position. This
allows the driver to get into and out of the
driver’s seat more easily.
The driver’s seat will slide backward:
The driver’s seat will slide backward when the
driver’s door is opened with the ignition switch
(knob) in the LOCK position.
The driver’s seat will return to the previous
position:
When the key is inserted into the ignition
switch after closing the driver’s door, or when
the driver’s door is closed after inserting the
key into the ignition switch.
When the ignition switch is pushed with the
driver’s door closed. (Intelligent Key
equipped model)
When the key or ignition switch is turned to
the ON position.The entry/exit feature can be canceled. See “4.
Display screen, heater, air conditioner and audio
systems” section of this manual.
The entry/exit function can be activated or can-
celled by pressing and holding the SET switch
for more than 10 seconds while the ignition key
is in the LOCK position. The indicator light will
blink once when the function is cancelled, and
the indicator light will blink twice when the
function is activated. If the battery cable is
disconnected, or if the fuse opens, the entry/exit
function will be cancelled. In such a case, after
connecting the battery or replacing with a new
fuse, open and close the driver’s door more than
two times with the ignition key or ignition switch
in the LOCK position to activate the entry/exit
function.
MEMORY STORAGETwo positions for the driver’s seat, pedals (Brake
and Accelerator) and outside mirrors can be
stored in the automatic drive positioner memory.
Follow these procedures to use the memory
system.
1. Set the selector lever to the P (Park) position.
2. Adjust the driver’s seat, pedals (Brake and
Accelerator) and outside mirrors to the de-
sired positions by manually operating each
adjusting switch. For additional information,
see “Seats” in the “1. Safety — seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system”

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM (NVIS)The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System (NVIS)
will not allow the engine to start without the use
of the registered NVIS key.
If the engine fails to start using the registered
NVIS key, it may be due to interference caused
by another NVIS key, an automated toll road
device or an automated payment device on the
key ring. Restart the engine using the following
procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position
for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK
position and wait approximately 10 seconds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device
(which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered NVIS key.
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
NISSAN recommends placing the registered
NVIS key on a separate key ring to avoid inter-
ference from other devices.Make sure the area around the vehicle is
clear.
Maintenance items should be checked peri-
odically, for example, each time you check
engine oil.
Check that all windows and lights are clean.
Visually inspect tires for their appearance and
condition. Also, check tires for proper infla-
tion.
Lock all doors.
Position seat and adjust head restraints.
Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
Adjust the pedal position.
Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers to
do likewise.
Check the operation of warning lights when
the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion.1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Move the selector lever to P (Park) or N
(Neutral). (P preferred.)
The starter is designed not to operate if the
selector lever is in one of the driving posi-
tions.
3. Crank the enginewith your foot off the
accelerator pedalby turning the ignition
key to START. Release the key when the
engine starts. If the engine starts, but fails to
run, repeat the above procedure.
If the engine is very hard to start in extremely
cold weather or when restarting, depress the
accelerator pedal a little (approximately 1/3
to the floor) and hold it then crank the engine.
Release the key and the accelerator pedal
when the engine starts.
If the engine is very hard to start because it is
flooded, depress the accelerator pedal all the
way to the floor and hold it. Crank the engine
for 5 to 6 seconds. After cranking the engine,
release the accelerator pedal. Crank the en-
ginewith your foot off the accelerator
pedalby turning the ignition switch to
START. Release the key when the engine
starts. If the engine starts, but fails to run,
repeat the above procedure.

TIRE PRESSURE
Tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) (if so equipped)This vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS). It monitors tire pres-
sure of all tires except the spare. When the low
tire pressure warning light is lit, one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated. If
equipped, the system also displays pressure of
all tires (except the spare tire) on the display
screen by sending a signal from a sensor that is
installed in each wheel.
The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). Also,
this system may not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example a flat tire while driving).
For more details, refer to “Low tire pressure
warning light” in the “2. Instruments and con-
trols” section, “Tire pressure information” in the
“4. Display screen, heater, air conditioner and
audio systems” section, “Tire pressure monitor-
ing system (TPMS)” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section, and “Flat tire” in the “6. In case
of emergency” section.

the proper equipment and to have it
installed.
Trailer lights should comply with federal and/or
local regulations. For assistance in hooking up
trailer lights, contact a NISSAN dealer or repu-
table trailer dealer.Trailer brakesIf your trailer is equipped with a braking system,
make sure it conforms to federal and/or local
regulations and that it is properly installed.
WARNING
Never connect a trailer brake system
directly to the vehicle brake system.Pre-towing tipsBe certain your vehicle maintains a level
position when a loaded and/or unloaded
trailer is hitched. Do not drive the vehicle if it
has an abnormal nose-up or nose-down con-
dition; check for improper tongue load, over-
load, worn suspension or other possible
causes of either condition.Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shifts while driving.
Load the trailer so approximately 60% of the
trailer load is in the front half and 40% is in
the back half.
Check your hitch, trailer tire pressure, vehicle
tire pressure, trailer light operation, and trailer
wheel lug nuts every time you attach a trailer
to the vehicle.
Be certain your rear view mirrors conform to
all federal, state or local regulations. If not,
install any mirrors required for towing before
driving the vehicle.
Trailer towing tipsIn order to gain skill and an understanding of the
vehicle’s behavior, you should practice turning,
stopping and backing up in an area which is free
from traffic. Steering stability, and braking per-
formance will be somewhat different than under
normal driving conditions.
Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or stops.
Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed. Some states or provinces have spe-cific speed limits for vehicles that are towing
trailers. Obey the local speed limits.
When backing up, hold the bottom of the
steering wheel with one hand. Move your
hand in the direction in which you want the
trailer to go. Make small corrections and back
up slowly. If possible, have someone guide
you when you are backing up.
Always block the wheels on both vehicle and
trailer when parking. Parking on a slope is not
recommended; however, if you must do so,
first block the wheels and apply the parking
brake, and then move the selector lever into
the P (Park) position. If you move the selector
lever to the P (Park) position before blocking
the wheels and applying the parking brake,
transmission damage could occur.
When going down a hill, shift into a lower
gear and use the engine braking effect.
When going up a long grade, downshift the
transmission to a lower gear and reduce
speed to reduce chances of engine overload-
ing and/or overheating.
If the engine coolant rises to an extremely
high temperature when the air conditioning
system is on, turn off the air conditioner.
Coolant heat can be additionally vented by
opening the windows, switching the fan con-
trol to high and setting the temperature con-
