BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW)
WITH REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)* (if so equipped)
The BSW system helps to alert the driver when another vehicle moves into the vehicle’s
detection zone.
An indicator light located near the outside mirrors
1 will illuminate if the radar sensors detect a
vehicle in the detection zone.
Push the warning systems switc h 2 to
temporarily turn the system off. When the system
is off, the indicator light
3 on the switch and
the indicator light
4 in the vehicle information
display will extinguish.
The indicator light 3 on the switch will also be
off if all of the warning systems are deactivated
using the Setting menu.
The indicator lights 3 and 4 will illuminate after the ignition switch
is ON and the BSW system is enabled. This indicates that the BSW
system is operational.
The RCTA system helps to alert the driver of an approaching vehicle when the driver is backing out of a parking space. The system operates when the shift lever
is in the R (REVERSE) position and the vehicle speed is less than approximately
5 mph (8 km/h).
The radar sensors detect an approaching vehicle from up to 66 ft (20 m). The sensors are located on both sides near the rear bumper. The system gives visual and audible
warnings if an approaching vehicle is detected.
The RCTA system can be turned on or off through the Driving Aids menu in the ve\
hicle
information display.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving
(section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
HILL DESCENT CONTROL (HDC) (if so equipped)
The HDC system is designed to reduce driver workload when going down steep
hills. The HDC system helps to control vehicle speed so the driver can concentrate on\

steering the vehicle. To activate the system:
The 4WD shift switch must be placed in the LOCK position
1 and the vehicle speed
must be under 15 mph (25 km/h) on steeper
hill grades.
The HDC switch 2 must be on.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)”
of your Owner’s Manual.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WITH EASY FILL TIRE ALERT
A Tire Pressure Low – Add Air warning
message will appear in the vehicle information
display
1 and the low tire pressure warning
light
2 will illuminate when one or more tires
are low in 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.
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert provides visual and audible signals to help you inflate the tire\
to
the recommended COLD tire pressure.



T
o use the Easy Fill Tire Alert:



1.

Move the shift lever to the
P (PARK) position and apply the parking brake.



2.

Place the ignition switc
h in the ON position. Do not start the engine.



3.

Add air to the under-inflated tire, and within a few seconds, the haza\
rd warning
lights will st

art flashing.



4.

W
hen the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the
hazard warning lights will stop flashing.



5.

Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 \
mph (25 km/h).
The Tire Pressure Low – Add Air warning message and low tire pressure warning
light
2 will extinguish.
When the low tire pressure warning light 2 flashes for approximately 1 minute and
then remains on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit a Nissan dealer for this service.
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 tempe\
rature of
the air inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause
the low tire pressure warning light
2 to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates,
check the tire pressure in your tires.



•


Chec

k the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always prior \
to long
distance trips.
The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to the “Technical and consumer information (section 9)” of 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.
