Tire pressure information
To display tire pressure information, press the
INFO button, then select the “Tire Pressure” key
using the NISSAN controller and press the EN-
TER button.
Pressure indication in ** psi on the screen indi-
cates that the pressure is being measured. After
a few driving trips, the pressure for each tire will
be displayed randomly.
The order of tire pressure figures displayed on
the screen does not correspond with the actual
order of the tire position.Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the
heat caused by the vehicle’s traveling condition
and the temperature.
In case of low tire pressure, a message is dis-
played on the screen:
LOW PRESSURE — Check All Tires.
WARNING
●
When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be
indicated, the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) will not function and
the low tire pressure warning light will
flash for approximately 1 minute. The
light will remain on after 1 minute. Con-
tact your NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
● Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by NISSAN could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.

When the shift selector is shifted into the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor display shows a
rearward view from the vehicle.
WARNING
●The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects to help avoid damaging the ve-
hicle. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or
on the ground.
● The RearView Monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper back-
ing. Always turn and check that it is safe
to do so before backing up. Always
back up slowly.
● Objects viewed in the RearView Moni-
tor differ from actual distance because
a wide-angle lens is used.
● Make sure that the lift gate is securely
closed when backing up.
● Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled beside the lift gate handle. ●
When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a mal-
function, fire or an electric shock.
● Do not strike the camera. It is a preci-
sion instrument. Otherwise, it may mal-
function or cause damage resulting in a
fire or an electric shock.
CAUTION
There is a plastic cover over the camera.
Do not scratch the cover when cleaning
dirt or snow from the cover.
HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES

distances to objects with reference to the bum-
per line
Aare displayed on the monitor. They are indicated as reference distances to

display may break if hit with a hard or
sharp object. If the glass screen breaks,
do not touch it. Doing so could result in
an injury.

the Mobile Entertainment System com-
ponents. Do not use solvents or clean-
ing solutions.
