WARNING
.The sonar system is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
parking. Always look around and
check that it is safe to do so before
parking. Always move slowly.
.Read and understand the limita-
tions of the sonar system as con-
tained in this section. Inclement
weather may affect the function of
the sonar system; this may include
reduced performance or a false
activation..This system is not designed to
prevent contact with small or mov-
ing objects.
.The system is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large station-
ary objects to help avoid damaging
the vehicle. The system will not
detect small objects below the
bumper, and may not detect objects
close to the bumper or on the
ground.
.If your vehicle sustains damage to
the bumper fascia, leaving it mis-
aligned or bent, the sensing zonemay be altered causing inaccurate
measurement of obstacles or false
alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound and the chime
may not be heard.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the sonar system is operational.
The sonar system sounds a tone to warn the
driver of obstacles near the bumper. The system
detects rear obstacles when the selector lever is
in the R (Reverse) position. The system may not
detect objects at speeds above 6 MPH (10
km/h) and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.
The sonar system detects obstacles up to 3.9 ft
(1.2 m) from the rear bumper with a decreased
coverage area at the outer corners of the rear
bumper. Refer to the illustration for approximate
zone coverage areas. As you move closer to the
obstacle, the rate of the tone increases. When
the obstacle is less than 11.8 in (30 cm) away,
the tone will sound continuously.
Keep the sonar sensors (located on the bumper
fascia) free from snow, ice and large accumula-

tions of dirt (do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects) . If the sensors are covered, it will affect
the accuracy of the sonar system.
If the sonar system malfunctions, the beep
sounds for 3 seconds when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. Have
the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.

WARNING
.Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags. They
may ignite and cause a fire.
.Never leave the engine running
while the vehicle is unattended.
.Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-dents.
.Safe parking procedures require
that both the parking brake be
applied and the transmission placed
into P (Park) for Continuously Vari-
able Transmission (CVT) model or in
an appropriate gear for Manual
Transmission (MT) model. Failure
to do so could cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly or roll away and
result in an accident.
.Make sure the continuously variable
transmission selector lever has
been pushed as far forward as itPARKING/PARKING ON HILLS

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) . It monitors tire
pressure 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 the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the TPMS will activate and warn you
of it by the low tire pressure warning light. This
system will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) . For
more details, see “WARNING/INDICATOR
LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section and “TIRE
PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section.
WARNING
.If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull
off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possi-
ble. Driving with under-inflated tires
may permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire
failure. Serious vehicle damagecould occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in serious
personal injury. Check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires. Adjust the 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 you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire as soon as possi-
ble.
.When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will
remain on after 1 minute. Contact
your NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/
or system resetting.
.Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
.Do not inject any tire liquid or
aerosol tire sealant into the tires,
as this may cause a malfunction of
the tire pressure sensors.
CHANGING A FLAT TIREIf you have a flat tire, follow the instructions
below.Stopping the vehicle1. Safely move the vehicle off the road and
away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
3. Park on a level surface and apply the parking
brake.
4.Continuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) models:
Move the selector lever to the P (Park)
position.
Manual Transmission (MT) models:
Move the shift lever to the R (Reverse)
position.
5. Turn off the engine.
6. Raise the hood to warn other traffic, and to
signal professional road assistance person-
nel that you need assistance.
