REAR SONAR SYSTEM (if so equipped)
With the shift lever in the R (REVERSE) position, this system will sound a tone to alert you of
obstacles up to 5.9 ft (1.8 m) from the bumper with
a decreased coverage area at the outer corners of
the bumper.
The rate of the tone increases as the vehicle gets closer to the obstacle. A continuous tone sounds
when an obstacle is less than 10 in (25 cm) from
the bumper.
Turn the system off by pushing the Rear Sonar System off switch 01. Push the switch again
to activate the system.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

ESSE NTIAL INFORMATION
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
A CHECK TIRE PRES warning message will display
in the trip computer
01 and the low tire pressure

warning light 02 will illuminate when one or more tires

are low on pressure and air is needed.



•


T

he tire pressures should be checked when
the tires are cold. The tires are considered
cold after the vehicle has been parked for
3 hours or more or driven less than 1 mi (1.6 km)
at moderate speeds.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle
at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). The CHECK
TIRE PRES warning message and the low tire
pressure warning light will extinguish.
When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for approximately 1 minute and then remains on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle\
’s operation and the
outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature o\
f the air inside the
tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in your tires.



•

Chec
k the tire pressures (including the spare tire) often and always prior\
to long distance trips.
The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to
“Technical and consumer information (section 9)” in your Owner’s Manual for the location of
the Tire and Loading Information label.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”, the “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.

LOOSE FUEL CAP
A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will appear
in the trip computer
01 when the fuel-filler cap is not

tightened correctly.
To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a single click
is heard.
The warning message will disappear when the vehicle
detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened and the
reset button
02 is pressed for more than 1 second.
If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction

Indicator Light
may illuminate.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments
(section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.
