CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) (if so equipped)
The cVT does not produce a gear change sensation like traditional
automatic transmissions.
R (R eVeRSe) speed for cVT vehicles is limited to 15 MPH (24 km/h).
The transmission in your vehicle requires a special fluid available only at your
ni SSAn dealer. no other fluid will meet the exact requirements of the cVT.
OVe Rd RiVe (O/ d) Off SW iTc H

VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC) OFF SWITCH
The Vehicle dynamic control (V dc) system monitors driver inputs and vehicle
motion. under certain conditions, it controls braking and engine output to help
the driver in handling the vehicle. Vdc does not prevent accidents due to care-
less or dangerous driving techniques. Always be mindful of vehicle speed and
driving conditions. V dc may need to be temporarily shut off if you are trying to
free a vehicle stuck in snow or mud.
Push the Vehicle dynamic control (VDC) OFF switch to deactivate the
Vdc system. The
light will illuminate in the instrument panel gauge area.
Push the Vehicle dynamic control (VDC) OFF switch again to activate the V dc system. The
light will turn off in the instrument panel gauge area.
The Vdc system is active while the vehicle is running until the switch is pushed to turn off.
6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION (if so equipped)

FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT
This vehicle is equipped with the niSSAn Advanced Air Bag System. under
some conditions, depending on the type of occupant or object detected
in the front-passenger’s seat by the occupant classification sensor, the
front passenger air bag is designed to automatically turn OFF. When the
front passenger air bag is OFF, the front passenger air bag status light will
illuminate.* f or example:
When the system detects that the front-passenger’s seat is occupied
by a small adult, child or child restraint as outlined in the Owner’s Manual, the
will illuminate
to indicate that the front passenger air bag is OFF and will not inflate in a crash.
When the front-passenger’s seat is occupied and the passenger meets the conditions outlined
in the Owner’s Manual, the
will not illuminate to indicate that the front passenger air
bag is operational.
*When the system detects that the front-passenger’s seat is unoccupied, the front
passenger air bag status light will not illuminate even though the front passenger air
bag is OFF.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
This system monitors tire pressure. if the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, check the tire pressure in all four tires.
Adjust the low tire pressure to the recommended cOL d tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading information label located in the driver’s
door opening. After tire pressures are adjusted, the vehicle will need to be
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn
off the low tire pressure warning light.
SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT AND CHIME
The light and chime remind you to fasten your seat belts. The light
illuminates whenever the ignition switch is placed in the O n or
START position and remains illuminated until the driver’s seat belt
is fastened. At the same time, the chime sounds for approximately
6 seconds unless the driver’s seat belt is securely fastened.
With the ignition switch O n, the seat belt warning light may also
illuminate if the front-passenger’s seat is occupied with the
front-passenger’s seat belt unfastened.
