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.

MOVING OBJECT DETECTION (MOD)
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system can
inform the driver of the moving objects surrounding
the vehicle.
The MOD system detects moving objects by using
image processing technology on the image shown
on the Around View Monitor display.
The MOD system operates in the following condi-
tions when the camera view is displayed:
•When the shift lever is in the N (Neutral) position
(XTRONIC and MT models) or P (Park) position
(XTRONIC models) and the vehicle is stopped,
the MOD system detects the moving objects in
the bird-eye view.
•When the shift lever is in the any position other
than R (Reverse) position and the vehicle speed
is above 0 km/h and below approximately 8 km/h
(5 MPH), the MOD system detects moving ob-
jects in the front view.
•When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) posi-
tion and the vehicle speed is below approximately
8 km/h (5 MPH), the MOD system detects mov-
ing objects in the rear view. The MOD system
will not operate correctly if the back door is open.
The MOD icon will change to blue to show which
view is currently active.
The MOD system does not detect moving objects in
the front-side view. The MOD icon is not displayed
on the screen when in this view.
WARNING
•The MOD system is not a substitute for proper
vehicle operation and is not designed to pre-
vent contact with the objects surrounding the
vehicle. When manoeuvring, always use the
outside mirror and rear view mirror and turn
and check the surroundings to ensure it is
safe to manoeuvre.
•The MOD system does not have the function
to detect the surrounding stationary objects.
*: For the Right-Hand Drive (RHD) model, the screen
layout will be opposite.
When the MOD system detects a moving object
surrounding the vehicle, the yellow frame will be dis-
played on the view where the objects are detected
and a chime will sound once. While the MOD sys-
tem continues to detect moving objects, the yellow
frame continues to be displayed.The yellow frame
j2 is displayed on each view in
the front view, front-wide view, rear view and rear-
wide view modes.
A blue MOD icon is displayed in the view where the
MOD system is operative. A grey MOD icon is dis-
played in the view where the MOD system is not
operative.
WARNING
•Do not use the MOD system when towing a
trailer (if available). The system may not func-
tion properly.
•Excessive noise (for example, audio system
volume or open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
•The MOD system performance will be limited
according to environmental conditions and
surrounding objects such as:
– When there is low contrast between back-
ground and the moving objects.
– When there is blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another vehi-
cle’s headlight or sunlight is present.
– When camera orientation is not in its usual
position, such as when mirror is folded.
– When there is dirt, water drops or snow on
the camera lens.
– When the position of the moving objects in
the display is not changed.

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.

Operating tips
•In order to improve the heater operation, clear
the snow and ice from the wiper blade and air
inlet in front of the windscreen.
•When the engine coolant temperature and out-
side air temperature are low, the airflow from the
floor outlets may not operate for a maximum of
150 seconds. However, this is not a malfunction.
After the coolant temperature has warmed up,
the airflow from the floor outlets will operate nor-
mally.
•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. This will allow the acceleration of
the air conditioner’s cooling operation.
•Keep windows closed while the air conditioner 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
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. To replace the fil-
ter, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
The filter should be replaced if the airflow is ex-
tremely reduced or when the windows fog up
easily while operating the heater or air condition-
ing system.
