NOTE:
.
When the ignition switch is pushed to
the ACC or ON position or the engine is
started by the above procedures, the
Intelligent Key battery discharge indi-
cator appears on the vehicle informa-
tion display even if the Intelligent Key
is inside the vehicle. This is not a
malfunction. To turn off the Intelligent
Key battery discharge indicator, touch
the ignition switch with the Intelligent
Key again.
. If the Intelligent Key battery discharge
indicator appears, replace the battery
as soon as possible. (See ªIntelligent
Key battery replacementº (P.8-23) .)

Overdrive (O/D) OFF switchGUID-ABC541E2-C15D-47C3-BECA-952AC6C42B5BWhen the O/D OFF switch is pushed with the
shift lever in the D (Drive) position, the
indicator light in the instrument panel illuminates.
Use the overdrive off mode when you need
improved engine braking.
To turn off the overdrive off mode, push the O/D
OFF switch again. The
indicator light will
turn off.
Each time the engine is started, or when the shift
lever is shifted to any position other than the D
(Drive) position, the overdrive off mode will be
automatically turned off.
Accelerator downshift Ð In D position ÐGUID-6F2528F8-7C30-4D84-ACB1-886040E69E34For passing or hill climbing, fully depress the
accelerator pedal to the floor. This shifts the
transmission down into a lower gear, depending
on the vehicle speed.
High fluid temperature protection modeGUID-C0263A9D-0737-4C81-B0F9-D670C4B337C5This transmission has a high fluid temperature
protection mode. If the fluid temperature be-
comes too high (for example, when climbing
steep grades in high temperature with heavy
loads, such as when towing a trailer) , engine
power and, under some conditions, vehicle
speed will be decreased automatically to reduce
the chance of transmission damage. Vehicle
speed can be controlled with the accelerator
pedal, but the engine and vehicle speed may be
limited.
Fail-safeGUID-86C18CEC-91C6-4574-ACFA-37D36E7C0DACIf the vehicle is driven under extreme
conditions, such as excessive wheel spin-
ning and subsequent hard braking, the
fail-safe system may be activated. This will
occur even if all electrical circuits are
functioning properly. In this case, place
the ignition switch in the OFF position and
wait for 10 seconds. Then place the igni-
tion switch back in the ON position. The
vehicle should return to its normal operat- ing condition. If it does not return to its
normal operating condition, have a
NISSAN dealer check the transmission
and repair if necessary.
WARNING
When the high fluid temperature pro-
tection mode or fail-safe operation
occurs, vehicle speed may be gradually
reduced. The reduced speed may be
lower than other traffic, which could
increase the chance of a collision. Be
especially careful when driving. If ne-
cessary, pull to the side of the road at a
safe place and allow the transmission
to return to normal operation, or have it
repaired if necessary.

WARNING
.The BSW system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedure
and is not designed to prevent
contact with vehicles or objects.
When changing lanes, always use
the side and rear mirrors and turn
and look in the direction you will
move to ensure it is safe to change
lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW
system.
. The BSW system operates above
approximately 20 MPH (32 km/h) .
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system can
help alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent
lanes when changing lanes.

Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either
side of your vehicle within the detection zone
shown as illustrated. This detection zone starts
from the outside mirror of your vehicle and
extends approximately 10 ft (3 m) behind the
rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3 m)
sideways.
The BSW system operates above approximately
20 MPH (32 km/h) . If the radar sensors detect a
vehicle in the detection zone, the BSW indicator
light illuminates. If the driver then activates the
turn signal, a chime will sound twice and the
BSW indicator light will flash.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATIONGUID-B7B4A2DD-5B73-4122-8C65-5DB3CA4A4566If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the BSW indicator light in the
outside mirror will illuminate in the direction of
the detected vehicle. If the turn signal is then
activated, the system chimes (twice) and the
BSW indicator light flashes. The BSW indicator
light continues to flash until the detected vehicle
leaves the detection zone.
The BSW indicator lights illuminate for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.
The brightness of the BSW indicator lights is
adjusted automatically depending on the bright-

ness of the ambient light.
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected a vehicle when the driver
activates the turn signal. If a vehicle comes into
the detection zone after the driver activates the
turn signal, then only the BSW indicator light
flashes and no chime sounds. (See ªBSW
driving situationsº (P.5-20).)
The BSW system is automatically turned on
when the engine is started and the BSW ON
indicator light
*1on the switch illuminates. You
can turn the BSW system off by pushing the
BSW switch on the instrumental panel.
NOTE:
If you continue to push and hold the BSW
switch from off to on for over 4 seconds, a
chime will sound. This will change the
default status of the BSW system to OFF
so that this system will not automatically
turn on when the engine is started. If this
procedure is repeated, the default status
will return to ON.
BSW temporarily not availableGUID-6D4D6EF8-1DF9-4D89-8011-E54A25724E70. When radar blockage is detected, the BSW
system will be turned off automatically, a
beep will sound and the BSW system
warning light will blink. The BSW system is
not available until the condition no longer
exists. The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
ambient conditions such as splashing water,
mist or fog. The blocked condition may also be
caused by objects such as ice, frost or dirt
obstructing the radar sensors.
Action to take:
When the above condition no longer exists, the
BSW system will resume automatically.
If the warning light continues to blink, have the
BSW system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
BSW malfunctionGUID-1F7A26C5-A202-469B-81D0-8B3F6C47D612When the BSW system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a beep will sound and
the BSW system warning light will illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location and place the
shift in the P (Park) position. Turn the engine off
and restart the engine.
If the warning light continues to illuminate, have
the BSW system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
BSW SYSTEM PRECAUTIONSGUID-3DDA042B-4A54-436D-8806-7EA18999A1CB
WARNING
.
The radar sensors may not be able
to detect and activate BSW when
certain objects are present such as: Ð Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
Ð Vehicles such as motorcycles,
low height vehicles, or high
ground clearance vehicles
Ð Oncoming vehicles
Ð Vehicles remaining in the detec- tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop
Ð A vehicle merging into an adja- cent lane at a speed approxi-
mately the same as your vehicle
Ð A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind
Ð A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly
See also ªBSW driving situationsº
(P.5-20) for the situations in which
the radar sensors may not be able
to detect vehicle(s) .
. The BSW system may not provide a
warning for vehicles that pass the
detection zone quickly.
. The radar sensors detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect
vehicles in an adjacent lane. When

5-20Starting and driving
driving in a narrow lane, the radar
sensors may detect vehicles driving
two lanes away.
. The radar sensors are designed to
ignore most stationary objects,
however objects such as guardrails,
walls, foliage and parked vehicles
may occasionally be detected. This
is a normal operating condition.
. Severe weather or road spray con-
ditions may reduce the ability of the
radar to detect other vehicles.
. Do not use the BSW system when
towing a trailer because the system
may not function properly.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.
