2011 NISSAN NOTE steering wheel adjustment

puter (where fitted) mode that was displayed before
the ignition switch was turned to the Acc, “OFF” or
LOCK position.
HR16DE or K9K engine oil level status
The Oil level status provides specific information
regarding the engine oil level.
If the oil level is sufficient, “Oil Good” is displayed
for approximately 10 seconds. If the oil level is low,
“Oil Lo” blinks for approximately 30 seconds in or-
der to draw your attention on necessary action.
G.Oil level 5 (Max)
H.Oil level 1 (Min)
A short press on the TRIP button/Steering wheel
switch during the “Oil Good” or “Oil Lo” mode
displays an approximate oil level indication between
jG /Max orjH /Min.
In the case of a low engine oil level, see “Engine oil”
in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section
for the proper engine oil refilling procedure.
Oil change schedule set-up
It is possible to adjust the interval distance to oil
change by pressing the Clock setting/Oil change
schedule setting switch
j2 for 3 seconds while the
wrench symboland the distance to oil change
are displayed. The symbol and distance display will
start flashing and the display shows the current in-
terval. Press the switch
j2 again to increase the
interval distance. Each step increases the interval
distance by 1,000 km (500 miles). The interval dis-
tance can be set up to 63,000 km (31,500 miles)
after which the display returns to zero.
If no further action is made, the display returns to oil
level status mode and the new interval is set.
If the interval distance is set to 0, the display will
skip the distance to oil change information and
wrench symbol display mode and will directly dis-
play the oil level status (“Oil Good” or “Oil Lo” –
HR16DE or K9K engine equipped models only). In
order to return to the distance to oil change informa-
tion and wrench symbol display mode, press the
Clock setting/Oil change schedule setting switch
j2 for approximately 3 seconds after the ignition
switch has been turned to the ON position, and
adjust the distance to oil change schedule as previ-
ously described.
See the Warranty Information & Maintenance Book-
let for the appropriate interval distance to oil change.CAUTION
•The oil level should be checked regularly. Op-
erating with an insufficient oil level can dam-
age the engine and such damage is not cov-
ered by the warranty.
•NISSAN recommends checking the oil level
every 5,000 km (3,000 miles).
DIGITAL CLOCKjA
The clock function at the top of the LCD displayj2
provides a clock display when the ignition switch is
in the ON position.
12/24 hour setting
Briefly pressing the Clock setting/Oil change sched-
ule setting* switchj2 will toggle between the 12
and 24 hour modes. Note that when the clock dis-
plays 0:01 in the 24 hour mode and is changed to
the 12 hour mode, the display will show 12.01 AM.
Hour setting
Pressing the Clock setting/Oil change schedule set-
ting switchj2 for 3 seconds or more will initialise
the clock adjustment procedure.
The hour setting mode is indicated by the hour dig-
it(s), the colon and AM or PM (in the 12 hour mode)
flashing at a certain frequency. Each activation of
the switch
j2 changes the time by 1 hour.
The display will show AM or PM in the 12 hour
mode and will change at midday and midnight. If the
j2 switch is not pressed for 5 seconds or more, the
clock changes to minutes setting mode.

Intelligent Key indicator light and
Intelligent Key warning light
(Intelligent Key system only)
Intelligent Key indicator light (green):
The Intelligent Key indicator light comes on when
the ignition knob is pushed in the LOCK position
while the brake pedal is depressed and the Intelli-
gent Key is in the vehicle. The Intelligent Key indica-
tor light goes out when the ignition switch is turned
to the Acc position.
NOTE
•The Intelligent Key indicator light may start
flashing when the ignition knob is turned from
the “OFF” position to the ON position if the
control unit detects a low battery voltage.
•The Intelligent Key indicator light comes on
as confirmation flash for anti-hijack mode set-
ting procedure. See “Integrated keyfob/re-
mote control system” in the “3. Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section.
Intelligent Key warning light (red):
When the ignition knob is turned to the ON position,
the Intelligent Key warning light illuminates for a few
seconds and then goes off. This means the system
is operational.
NOTE
•If the Intelligent Key is taken outside of the
vehicle ID recognition zone through an
opened door (driver’s side door, passenger’s
side door, back door) while the ignition knobis in the Acc or ON position, the Intelligent
Key warning light starts flashing and the
buzzer sounds, warning the driver of the situ-
ation. The Intelligent Key warning light will
stop flashing as soon as the Intelligent Key is
placed again in the passenger’s compart-
ment.
•The Intelligent Key warning light comes on as
confirmation flash for convenience mode set-
ting procedure. See “Integrated keyfob/re-
mote control system” in the “3. Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section.
WARNING
If the Intelligent Key warning light comes on
steady, it may indicate a system malfunction, we
recommend you to contact a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop for repair.
See “Ignition knob (where fitted)” in the “5. Starting
and driving” section for further details.
Anti-lock Braking System
warning light
After turning the ignition key to the ON position, the
light will illuminate. The Anti-lock Braking System
warning light will turn off after approximately 1 sec-
ond if the system is operational.
If the light comes on while the engine is running, it
may indicate something is wrong with the anti-lock
portion of the braking system. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.Anti-lock Braking System:
The Anti-lock Braking System controls the wheels
so that they will not lock when braking abruptly or
when braking on a slippery road. This will prevent
difficult steering operation and swerving due to
locked wheels.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the anti-lock
function will cease but the ordinary brakes will con-
tinue to operate normally.
CAUTION
If the light comes on while you are driving, con-
tact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for
repair.
INDICATOR LIGHTS
Electronic Stability Programme
(ESP) OFF indicator light
(where fitted)
The light comes on when the Electronic Stability
Programme (ESP) OFF switch is pushed to the OFF
position. This indicates the Electronic Stability Pro-
gramme is not operating.
Push the Electronic Stability Programme OFF
switch again or restart the engine and the system
will operate normally. See “Electronic Stability Pro-
gramme (ESP) system (where fitted)” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.
