CAUTION
•The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system is
intended as an aid to careful driving. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, and observe all road regulations that
currently apply, including looking out for road
signs.
•The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system
may not function properly under the following
conditions:
•When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the
windscreen in front of the TSR camera unit.
•When the headlights are not bright due to
dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not ad-
justed properly.
•When strong light enters the camera unit.
(For example, the light directly shines on
the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sun-
set.)
•When a sudden change in brightness oc-
curs. (For example, when the vehicle en-
ters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
•In areas not covered by the navigation sys-
tem.
•If there are deviations in relation to the
navigation, for example due to changes in
the road routing.
•When overtaking buses or trucks with
speed stickers.
Turning the TSR system on and off
Turning the LDW system on or of is done using the
[Settings] menu in the vehicle information display.
For details, see “Vehicle information display” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section.
Perform the following steps to enable or disable the
TSR system:
1. In the [Settings] menu, select the [Driver Assis-
tance] key.
2. Touch [Traffic Sign] to turn the system ON/OFF.
System temporarily unavailable
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under high
temperature conditions (over approximately 40 C
(104 F) and then started, the TSR system may be
deactivated automatically. The [Not available high
cabin temperature] warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display.
Action to take:
When the interior temperature is reduced, the TSR
system will resume operating automatically.
System Malfunction
If the TSR system malfunctions it will be turned off
automatically and the system [Malfunction]/[System
error] warning message will appear in the vehicle
information display.
Action to take:
If the TSR [Malfunction]/[System error] message
appears, pull off the road at a safe location and stop
the vehicle. Turn the engine off and restart the en-
gine. If the TSR [Malfunction]/[System error] mes-
sage continues to appear, have the system checked
by a NISSAN dealer.
Maintenance
The TSR uses the same multi-sensing front camera
unit that is used by the Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) system, located in front of the interior rear
view mirror. For maintenance of the camera, see
“Multi-sensing camera unit maintenance” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.

freeze on the windscreen and obscure your vi-
sion. Warm the windscreen with the defogger be-
fore you wash it.

the following speeds:
•j1:Intermittent ()—TypeAorAUTO—
Type B (where fitted) operates the rain-sensing
auto wiper system. (See “Rain sensor (where
fitted)” later in this section.).
– The intermittent operation speed can be ad-
justed by rotating the ring forward
jA (slower)
or backwardjB (faster).
– The wiper operation speed will vary in accor-
dance with the vehicle speed in the AUTO
position. For example, when the vehicle
speed is high, the intermittent operation
speed will be faster.
•j2:Low ()– for continuous low speed op-
eration
•j3:High ()– for continuous high speed
operation
•j4 : — for a single sweep operation of the wiper.
Washer operation
Pull the lever towards youj5 to operate the washer.

DYNAMIC HIGH BEAM ASSISTANT
(where fitted)
A camera-controlled high beam assistant which
changes from low beam to high beam automatically.Precautions:
WARNING
The dynamic high beam assistant cannot com-
pensate for road and weather circumstances
while driving. The system saves the driver from
having to operate the switch. The driver always
remains responsible for choosing the correct
light setting.
Specific situations in which to operate the head
light switch manually:
•In heavy rain, snowy conditions. (general poor
visibility and bad weather conditions).
•When the vehicle sensors are dirty, covered
or broken.
Dynamic high beam assistant activated:
When the headlight switch is in the AUTO position,
the light sensor detects darkness, and the vehicle
speed is over 20 km/h (15 MPH), the dynamic high
beam assistant is operational. The dynamic high
beam assistant indicator light
in the instrument
panel is on.
The system operates as follows:
•High beam comes on automatically in dark con-
ditions:
If the vehicle speed is over 40 km/h (25 MPH)
and no other road users are recognised.
The
high beam light (blue) comes on addi-
tionally.
•High beam turns off automatically:
If the vehicle speed drops below 25 km/h (15
MPH) or other road users are detected.
The
High beam light (blue) turns off.
To disable the dynamic high beam assistant:
To turn the dynamic high beam assistant off turn the
head light switch to the OFF,
,orposi-
tion.
“Friendly Lighting”
The “Friendly Lighting” function is a convenience
facility. It allows you to provide lighting from the
vehicle after the ignition switch has been turned to
the LOCK position and the headlight switch is in the
OFF or AUTO (where fitted) position. Pulling the
headlight switch toward you once will activate the
headlight for approximately 30 seconds. After that
period of time, it will automatically switch off.
It is possible to pull the headlight switch up to four
times to increase the lighting period up to 2 minutes.
NOTE
The “Friendly Lighting” function can be cancelled
by switching the ignition switch to the Acc or ON
position again.
Battery save function
The battery save feature prevents your vehicle from
discharging the battery after you have left the exter-
nal lights, map lamps or room lamps on when exit-
ing the vehicle. This occurs when the ignition switch
or ignition knob is switched to the “OFF” or LOCK
position after the engine has been running.

Battery save function for external lights:
If the ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” position
after driving but the external lights are accidentally
left on, the external lights will automatically be
switched off as soon as the driver’s door is opened.
It is possible to leave the external lights on perma-
nently by switching them back on using the head-
light switch while the ignition switch is still in the
LOCK or “OFF” position. In this case, the light re-
minder chime will sound when the driver’s door is
opened.
Battery save function for interior light:
The interior light will automatically be switched off
after a period of time if it has been accidentally left
on.TURN SIGNAL SWITCH

nal setting has been set to ON in the Vehicle Set-
tings menu of the vehicle information display (see
“[Vehicle settings]” earlier in this section).
Direction indicator
Move the lever up or downj2 to indicate right or
left. When the turn is completed, the turn signal is
