Front power seat adjustmentOperating tips:
.The seat motor has an auto-reset overload
protection circuit. If the motor stops during
operation, wait for a while, then reactivate
the switch.
.Do not operate the power seat for a long
period of time when the engine is off. This
will discharge the battery.

Forward and backward:
Moving the switch
*1
forward or backward will
slide the seat forward or backward to the
desired position.
Reclining:
Move the recline switch*2
backward until the
desired angle is obtained. To bring the seatback
forward again, move the switch
*2
forward.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes for
added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. (See “PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE” later in this section.) Also, the seatback
can be reclined to allow occupants to rest whenthe vehicle is stopped and the transmission in
the P (Park) position with the parking brake fully
applied.

When the outside air temperature becomes
378F(38C) or lower, the ICY indicator illumi-
nates and the outside air temperature display
blinks to give a warning. The ICY indicator will
turn off and the display will stop blinking after 1
minute or when the outside air temperature
becomes 398F(48C) or above.
The display may differ from the actual outside

TRIP COMPUTER (if so equipped)The switch for the trip computer is located on
the meter panel.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, modes of the trip computer can be
selected by pushing the trip computer mode
switch

.
Each time the trip computer mode switch
*A
is
pushed, the display will change as follows:
(TRIP A?TRIP B?) Distance to empty (dte)
?Average fuel consumption?Average speed
?Elapsed time (?TRIP A)
Distance to empty (dte — mls or km)The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you
with an estimation of the distance that can be
driven before refueling. The dte is constantly
being calculated, based on the amount of fuel in
the fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning
feature. When the fuel level is low, the dte mode
is automatically selected and the dte display will
blink. Push the trip computer mode switch
*A
to return to the mode that was selected before
the warning occurred.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte
display will change to “——”.
.If the amount of fuel added is small, the
display just before the ignition switch is
turned off may continue to be displayed.
.When driving uphill or rounding curves, the
fuel in the tank shifts, which may momenta-
rily change the display.Average fuel consumption (mpg or l
(liter)/100 km)The average fuel consumption mode shows the
average fuel consumption since the last reset.

When the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, the compass display
*B
will indicate
the direction of the vehicle’s heading.
If the display reads “C”, calibrate the compass
by driving the vehicle in 3 complete circles at
less than 5 MPH (8 km/h). You can also
calibrate the compass by driving your vehicle
on your everyday route. The compass will be
calibrated once it has tracked 3 complete
circles.
To turn on and off the compass manually, push

dealer as soon as possible.
.If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle
speed, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Driving with un-
der-inflated tires may permanently
damage the tires and increase the
likelihood of tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury.
Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shownontheTireandLoading
Information label to turn the low
tire pressure warning light OFF. If
the light stays on after adjusting the
tire pressure and driving over 16
MPH (25 km/h) , have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible.
.When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressurewarning 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.
CAUTION
.The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure
to check the tire pressure regularly.
.If the vehicle is being driven at
speeds of less than 16 MPH (25
km/h) , the TPMS may not operate
correctly.
.Be sure to install the specified size
of tires to the front and rear.
Low washer fluid warning light (if
so equipped)
This light illuminates when the washer fluid is at
a low level. Add washer fluid as necessary. (See“WINDOW WASHER FLUID” in the “8. Main-

P position selecting warning light
(if so equipped)
The light blinks in red and warning buzzer beeps
when the selector lever is not in the P (Park)
position and you are outside the vehicle with the
Intelligent Key.
When the warning light blinks, move the selector
lever to the P (Park) position and return the
ignition switch to the LOCK position.

for about 6 seconds unless the driver’s seat belt
is securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light for the front
passenger will illuminate if the seat belt is not
fastened when the front passenger’s seat is
