will trap the occupants, since the Super Lock
system prevents the doors from being opened
from the inside of the vehicle.
•Only operate the integrated keyfob “LOCK”
button when there is a clear view of the ve-hicle. This is to prevent anybody from being
trapped inside the vehicle through the Super
Lock system activation.
For further details on the Super Lock system see
“Door locks” later in this section.

•The MOD system might detect flowing water
droplets on the camera lens, white smoke
from the exhaust, moving shadows, etc.
•The MOD system may not function properly
depending on the speed, direction, distance
or shape of the moving objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the parts
where the camera is installed, leaving it mis-
aligned or bent, the sensing zone may be al-
tered and the MOD system may not detect
objects properly.
•When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not display objects
clearly. This is not a malfunction.
Camera maintenance
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the camera, the
MOD system may not operate properly. Clean the
camera.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SCREEN
VIEW
To adjust the display brightness of the Around View
Monitor, use the settings described in the sepa-
rately provided NissanConnect owner’s manual.
Do not adjust the settings while the vehicle is mov-
ing. Make sure the parking brake is firmly applied.
AROUND VIEW MONITOR SETTINGS
To switch the Moving Object Detection between on
or off, proceed as follows:
1) Press the steering wheel button to enter the ve-
hicle information display, see “Vehicle informa-
tion display” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section.2) Select the [Settings] key using the steering
wheel switch. Scroll by push up or down buttonjB , select by pressing buttonjB.
3) Select the [Driving Aids] key.
4) Select the [Parking Aids] key.

View malfunction
When the [!] icon is displayed on the screen, there
will be abnormal conditions in the Around View
Monitor. This will not hinder normal driving opera-
tion but the system should be inspected by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
When the [X] icon is displayed on the screen, the
camera image may be receiving temporary elec-
tronic disturbances from surrounding devices. This
will not hinder normal driving operation but the sys-
tem should be inspected by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop if it occurs frequently.
OPERATING TIPS
•When the view is switched, the display images
on the screen may be displayed with some de-
lay.
•When the temperature is extremely high or low,
the screen may not display objects clearly. This
is not a malfunction.

Display screen, heater and air conditioner, and audio system4-13

Operating tips
•In order to improve the heater operation, clear
any snow and ice from the wiper blade and air
inlet in front of the windscreen.
•After parking in the sun, drive for two or three
minutes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then close
the windows to allow the acceleration of the air
conditioner’s cooling operation.
•Keep the windows closed while the air condi-
tioner is operating.
•The air conditioning system should be operated
for about 10 minutes, at least once a month. This
helps prevent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
•If the coolant temperature gauge exceeds the
“HOT” position, turn the air conditioner off. For
additional information, see “Engine overheat” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section.
•If the engine coolant reaches an extremely high
temperature, the air conditioning system will au-
tomatically turn off. This may happen for example
if the engine runs at idle speed for a long time on
a hot day.

Air conditioner filter (where fitted)
The air conditioning system is equipped with a filter
which collects dirt, pollen, dust, etc. To make sure
the air conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter regularly. For filter replace-
ment, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
The filter should be replaced if the airflow is ex-
tremely reduced or when the windows fog up
easily during air conditioning system operation.
Servicing air conditioner
The air conditioning system (where fitted) in your
NISSAN vehicle is charged with an environmentally
friendly refrigerant.
NISSAN Blue Citizenship
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing your vehicle’s air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will cause
severe damage to the air conditioning system. See
“Capacities and recommended fuel/lubricants” in
the “9. Technical information” section of this manual.
A NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop will be able
to service the air conditioning system.

Radio Data System (RDS) operation
(where fitted)
The RDS is a system through which encoded digital
information is transmitted by FM radio stations in
addition to the normal FM radio broadcasting. The
RDS provides information services such as station
name, traffic information, or news.
NOTE
•In some countries or regions, some of these
services may not be available.
Alternative Frequency (AF) mode:
The AF mode operates in the FM (radio) mode.
•The AF mode operates in the FM (radio), AUX or

radio mode).
•The AF function compares signal strengths and
selects the station with the optimum reception
conditions for the currently tuned-in station.
