SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODESpeaker Adaptation allows up to two out-of dia-
lect users to train the system to improve recogni-
tion accuracy. By repeating a number of com-
mands, the users can create a voice model of theirown voice that is stored in the system. The system
is capable of storing a different speaker adapta-
tion model for memory A and memory B.
If memory A is available, the system will use
memory A to store the model. If memory A is in
use and memory B is available, the system will
use memory B to store the model. If both of the
memory locations are in use, the system will ask
the user to select which memory location should
be overwritten.Training procedureThe procedure for training a voice is as follows.
1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably quiet
outdoor location.
2. Sit in the driver’s seat with the engine run-
ning, the parking brake on, and the transmis-
sion in Park.
3. Press and hold the
button for more
than 5 seconds.
4. The system announces: “Press the PHONE
SEND (
) button for the hands-free
phone system to enter the speaker adapta-
tion mode or press the PHONE END
(
) button to select a different lan-
guage.”
5. Press the
button.

CAUTION

Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits
from leaded gasoline will seriously
reduce the three-way catalyst’s abil-
ity to help reduce exhaust pollutants.

Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunc-
tions in the ignition, fuel injection, or
electrical systems can cause overrich
fuel flow into the three-way catalyst,
causing it to overheat. Do not keep
driving if the engine misfires, or if
noticeable loss of performance or
other unusual operating conditions
are detected. Have the vehicle in-
spected promptly by a NISSAN
dealer.
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, damag-
ing the three-way catalyst.

Do not race the engine while warm-
ing it up.

Do not push or tow your vehicle to
start the engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle
has tires of a different size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper tire infla-
tion pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as

Do not use the cruise control when driv-
ing under the following conditions:

When it is not possible to keep the
vehicle at a set speed.

In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies
in speed.

excessively high, the cruise control system
will be canceled automatically.
