ACC to LOCK with the driver’s door open.
The driver’s seat will return to the previous posi-
tion:
cWhen the key is inserted into the ignition
switch and the driver’s door is closed.
cWhen the driver’s door is closed with the key
turned to LOCK.
cWhen the ignition switch is turned from
ACC to ON while the shift selector lever is in
the P (Park) position.The entry/exit function can be adjusted or can-
celed. For vehicles with navigation system, see
“Comfort & convenience settings” in the “Display
screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone
systems” section of this manual. For vehicles
without navigation system, see your NISSAN
dealer.
Restarting the entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected or if the fuse
opens, the entry/exit function will be disabled.
Drive the vehicle over 25 MPH (40 km/h) to
restart the entry/exit function. You can also restart
the entry/exit function using the following proce-
dure.
1. Connect the battery cable or replace the
fuse.
2. Open and close the driver’s door more than
two times with the ignition switch in the
LOCK position.
The entry/exit function should now work properly.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The automatic drive positioner system will not
work or will stop operating under the following
conditions:
cWhen the vehicle speed is above 4 MPH (7
km/h) .cWhen any of the memory switches are
pushed while the automatic drive positioner
is operating.
cWhen the adjusting switch for the driver’s
seat is turned on while the automatic drive
positioner is operating.
cWhen the seat has been already moved to
the memorized position.
cWhen no seat position is stored in the
memory switch.
cWhen the shift selector lever is moved from
P (Park) to any other position.
cWhen the driver’s door remains open more
than 45 seconds and the ignition switch is
not in the ON position.

Record.
Distance to empty (MI or km)
The Distance To Empty (DTE) mode provides you

calculated based on the amount of fuel in the fuel
tank and the actual fuel consumption. The display
is updated every 30 seconds. When the fuel level
is low, the DTE display will change to (*) .NOTE:
cIf the amount of fuel added while the
ignition switch is OFF is small, the dis-
play just before the ignition switch is
turned OFF may continue to be dis-
played.
cWhen driving uphill or rounding curves,
the fuel in the tank shifts, which may
momentarily change the display.
Average fuel economy (MPG or L/100 km)
The Average Fuel Economy is calculated based
on fuel consumption since the last reset. The
display is updated every 30 seconds and 1/3 mi
(500 m) . After a reset or connecting the battery
cables, the display might show (**.*) .
Resetting fuel economy
The average fuel economy calculation can be
reset to 0. Press the INFO button and select the

played on the screen:
LOW PRESSURE — Check All Tires.
WARNING
cWhen a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be
indicated, the Tire Pressure Monitoring

tact your NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
cReplacing tires with those not originally
specified by NISSAN could affect the
