WARNING
Super Lock system equipped models:
Failure to follow the precautions below may lead
to hazardous situations. Make sure the Super
Lock system activation is always conducted
safely.
When the vehicle is occupied, never lock the
doors with the integrated keyfob. Doing so
will trap the occupants, since the Super Lock
system prevents the doors from being opened
from the inside of the vehicle.
Only operate the integrated keyfob “LOCK”
button when there is a clear view of the ve-
hicle. This is to prevent anybody from being
trapped inside the vehicle through the Super
Lock system activation.
Pressing the “LOCK” button
on the integrated
keyfob or locking the doors using one of the outside
door lock switches (Intelligent Key models) will acti-
vate the Super Lock system.
When the Super Lock system is active, none of the
doors can be opened from inside the vehicle. This
provides additional security in case of theft or break-
in.
The Super Lock system will be released when all
the doors are unlocked using the integrated keyfob
or an outside door lock switch (Intelligent Key mod-
els).
Emergency situations
If the Super Lock system is activated while you are
inside the vehicle, for example by a traffic accident
or other unexpected circumstances, follow the in-
structions below.
To release the Super Lock system:
– Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the ON position.
All doors can now be unlocked and opened from
inside the vehicle.
– Remove the key from the ignition switch and un- lock the doors using the integrated keyfob “UN-
LOCK” button
.
All doors can now be opened from inside the
vehicle.
To unlock and open the driver’s door from
inside the vehicle while the Super Lock system
is active:
1. Open or break the driver’s door window.
2. Insert the key into the outside door key cylinder and turn it towards the rear of the vehicle.
3. The driver’s door will unlock and can now be opened from inside the vehicle.
Locking without activating the Super
Lock system
WARNING
Do not leave the key inside the vehicle when leav-
ing the vehicle.
Locking the doors using the door key cylinder or
power door lock switch will not activate the Super
Lock system. See “Power door lock switch” later in
this section for further information.
LOCKING/UNLOCKING WITH THE
KEY (vehicle dead battery)
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, do not leave the key
inside the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle
and always be sure you have your keys with
you when leaving. If an emergency occurs it
may be more difficult to help them otherwise.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-9

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When leaving your vehicle unoccupied:
Always remove the ignition key or Intelligent Key
(where fitted) and take it with you – even in your
own garage.
Close all windows completely and lock all doors.
Always park your vehicle where it can be seen.
At night, park in a well lit area.
If the vehicle is equipped with an alarm or immo-
bilization device, use it – even for short periods.
Do not leave children and pets in the vehicle
unattended.
Do not leave valuables on view to tempt a thief.
Always take your valuables with you. If you must
leave something in your vehicle, lock it in the lug-
gage compartment or hide it out of sight.
Do not leave the vehicle documents in your ve-
hicle. In the unfortunate event of your vehicle
being stolen, the documents will only help a thief
to sell the vehicle.
Do not leave articles on a roof rack as they are
particularly vulnerable. If possible, remove them
from the rack and lock them inside the vehicle.
Do not leave the spare key or Intelligent Key in
the vehicle – keep it in a safe place at home.
Do not leave a note of your vehicle’s key number
in the vehicle. A thief may break into the vehicle,
note the key number and return with a new key
and drive the vehicle.
WARNING
If the Electrically Power Assisted Steering
warning light (EPAS) illuminates while driv-
ing, the power assist for steering will be dis-
abled. Greater steering efforts are required to
operate the steering wheel, especially in
sharp turns and at low speed. Stop the ve-
hicle as soon as safely possible and contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for fur-
ther assistance.
In certain circumstances, factors external to
the EPAS system may contribute to the illumi-
nation of the warning light. If the warning light
illuminates, stop the vehicle as soon as safely
possible if driving. Turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position and wait for approximately
20 seconds, then turn the ignition switch to
the ON position again. If the light remains illu-
minated, we recommend you to contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. See
“Warning/indicator lights and audible
reminders” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section for further details regarding
the EPAS warning light.
The EPAS (Electrically Power Assisted Steering)
system is designed to assist steering.
The steering may appear to feel slightly stiff follow-
ing parking manoeuvres including a great deal of
steering. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by a
control system designed to prevent the motor from overheating. No servicing is required. The EPAS
system will return to normal operation the next time
the vehicle is driven.
Similarly, the EPAS system may not provide full as-
sistance during periods of reduced battery voltage
but will recover once normal battery voltage is re-
stored.
If the EPAS warning light comes on while the engine
is running, it may indicate that the EPAS system is
not working properly. As result greater steering ef-
forts are required to steer the steering wheel, espe-
cially in sharp turns and at low speeds. Have the
system checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
NOTE
Incorrectly inflated tyres can lead to poor steer-
ing ability and make the driver suspect a steering
problem: keep the vehicle’s tyres inflated to the
correct pressure at all times.
CAUTION
Any malfunction or accident that could have dam-
aged the steering components (including actual
or attempted theft damage) should be reported
to a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

The towing eye is stored with the vehicle tools and
located in the spare wheel recess (luggage com-
partment area).
1) Remove the cover from the bumper.
2) Securely install the towing eye, as illustrated.
Make sure that the towing eye is properly stored in
its designated location after use.
FREEING THE VEHICLE FROM SAND,
SNOW OR MUD
WARNING
Never allow anyone to stand near the towing
line during the pulling operation.
Never spin the tyres at high speed. This could
cause them to explode and result in serious
injury. Parts of the vehicle could also overheat
and be damaged.
Towing eye usage
The towing eye should be used in the event that
your vehicle becomes trapped in sand, snow or mud,
and is unable to drive away without being pulled,
use the towing eye.
Use the towing eyeonly, not other parts of the
vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be dam-
aged.
Only use the towing eye to free a vehicle stuck
in sand, snow, mud, etc.
Never tow the vehicle for a long distance using
only the towing eye.
The towing eye is under tremendous force when
used to free a stuck vehicle. Always pull the cable
straight out from the front of the vehicle. Never
pull on the towing eye at a sideways angle.
CAUTION
In order not to break the towing line, tension it
slowly.
NCE283Z
In case of emergency6-15

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Only hold the xenon headlight bulb by the
base.
The bulb is manufactured from high-quality
quartz and is under high pressure.
Damage, soiling, and fingerprints should be
avoided and, if necessary, removed with alco-
hol before installing the bulb.
When the headlights are switched on, the
bulbs produce a certain amount of UV radia-
tion. In order to avoid any impairment of health
(burning and conjunctivitis), the bulb should
only be used in closed headlights with appro-
priate UV–absorbing front glass.
Due to the risk of burning, the bulb should be
left to cool down for 3 minutes after switching
off before touching.
Due to the use of mercury and various salts,
the bulb should be treated as special waste
when discarded.
The bulb may only be operated with a suitable
ballast which produces very high voltages
when switched on and during operation.
Contact with bulb and wires should therefore
be avoided and a safe distance of at least 30
mm should be maintained.
Replacing the halogen headlight bulb
CAUTION
High pressure halogen gas is sealed inside
the halogen bulb. The bulb may break if the
glass envelope is scratched or the bulb is
dropped.
When handling the bulb, DO NOT TOUCH THE
GLASS ENVELOPE.
Use the same number type and wattage as
originally installed.
Aiming is usually not necessary after replac-
ing the bulb. When aiming adjustment is nec-
essary, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Do not leave the bulb out of the headlight
reflector for a long period of time as dust,
moisture or smoke may enter the headlight
body and affect the performance of the head-
light.
The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type which
uses a replaceable headlight (halogen) bulb. A bulb
can be replaced from inside the engine compart-
ment without removing the headlight assembly.
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop, if
you need assistance for bulb replacement.
1. Open the bonnet. For details, see “Bonnet release” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.
2. Disconnect the negative (—) battery cable. 3. When the broken bulb is located in the headlight
assembly under the air duct, carefully remove the
clips and rotate the air duct
jc clockwise a 1/4
of a turn.
4. Remove the cap (
jAorjB ) of the headlight as-
sembly.
5. Turn the connector 1/4 of a turn in the anti clock- wise direction and remove the headlight bulb.
6. Install the new bulb in the reverse order of re- moval and make sure that the cap is securely
sealed with the headlight body.
7. Where removed (step 3.), re-install the air duct
jc and clips in the order of removal.
8. Reconnect the negative (—) battery cable and close the bonnet.
NOTE
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. The fog
is caused by a temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens. This is not
a malfunction. If large droplets can be seen, then
contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
