cThe keyfob button must be held for 0.5 sec-
ond before the lift gate opens.
cThe lift gate must be unlocked to open it with
the outside opener handle.
cThe switch on the rear pillar cannot be used
to open the lift gate.
A warning chime will sound if the shift selector
lever is moved out of P (Park) during a power
open operation.
Power Close:
The power lift gate automatically moves from the
fully open position to the secondary position.
When the lift gate reaches the secondary posi-
tion, the cinching motor engages and pulls the lift
gate to its primary latch position. Power close
takes approximately7–10seconds. The power
close feature can be activated by the switch on
the keyfob, the instrument panel and the rear
pillar. The hazard lights flash and a chime sounds
to indicate the power close sequence has been
started.
cIf the outside opener handle is activated
while the cinching motor is engaged, the
cinching motor will disengage and release
the latch.
cThe keyfob button must be held for 0.5 sec-
ond before the lift gate closes.cThe switch on the rear pillar can only be used
to close the lift gate if the cancel switch is
not in the on position.
Reverse:
The power lift gate will reverse direction immedi-
ately during power open or power close if the
keyfob, instrument panel or rear pillar switch is
pressed or if the outside handle is lifted. A chime
will sound to announce the reversal.
Auto Reverse:
If an obstacle is detected during power open or
power close, a warning chime will sound and the
lift gate will reverse direction and return to the full
open or full close position. If a second obstacle is
detected, the lift gate motion will stop and the
drive motor will disengage. The lift gate will enter
manual mode.
A pinch strip is mounted on each side of the lift
gate. If an obstacle is detected by a pinch strip
during power close, the lift gate will reverse di-
rection and return to the full open position.NOTE:
If the pinch strip is damaged or removed,
the power close function will not operate.
WARNING
There are some small distances immedi-
ately before the closed position which
cannot be detected. Make sure that all
passengers have their hands, etc., inside
the vehicle before closing the lift gate.
Manual Mode:
If power operation is not available, the lift gate
may be operated manually. Power operation may
not be available if the cancel switch is in the on
position, if multiple obstacles have been de-
tected in a single power cycle, or if battery volt-
age is low.

WARNING
cGasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seriously
injured if it is misused or mishandled.
Always stop the engine and do not
smoke or allow open flames or sparks
near the vehicle when refueling.
cDo not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.
cUse only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect cap
can result in a serious malfunction and
possible injury. It could also cause the
malfunction indicator light to come on.
cNever pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle.cDo not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable fuel
containers:
– Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
– Do not use electronic devices when
filling.
– Keep the pump nozzle in contact
with the container while you are fill-
ing it.
– Use only approved portable fuel con-
tainers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
cOnly vehicles with the E-85 filler door
label can operate on E-85. Fuel system
or other damage can occur if E-85 is
used in vehicles that are not designed
to run on E-85.
cIf fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid paint
damage.cTighten until the fuel-filler cap clicks.
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly may cause the
mal-
function indicator light (MIL) to illumi-
nate. If the
light illuminates be-
cause the fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle.
The
light should turn off after a
few driving trips. If the
light
does not turn off after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected by a
NISSAN dealer.
cFor additional information, see the
“Malfunction indicator light (MIL)” in
the “Instruments and Controls” section
earlier in this manual.

3. Adjust the driver’s seat, accelerator and
brake pedals, and outside mirrors to the
desired positions by manually operating
each adjusting switch. For additional infor-
mation, see “Seats” in the “Safety—Seats,
seat belts and supplemental restraint sys-
tem” section and “Pedal position adjust-
ment” and “Outside mirrors” earlier in this
section.
During this step, do not turn the ignition to
any position other than ON.

switch will come on and stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds after pushing the switch.
After the indicator light goes off, the se-
lected positions are stored in the selected
memory (1 or 2) .
If a new memory is stored in the same memory
switch, the previous memory will be deleted.
Linking a keyfob to a stored memory
position
Each keyfob can be linked to a stored memory
position (memory switch 1 or 2) with the follow-

tor light goes off, the keyfob is linked to that
memory setting.
With the key removed from the ignition switch,
press the
button on the keyfob. The driv-
er’s seat, accelerator and brake pedals, and out-
side mirrors will move to the memorized position.
NOTE:
If a new memory position is saved to the
memory switch, the keyfob automatically
re-links.
Confirming memory storage
cTurn the ignition ON and push the SET
switch. If the main memory has not been
