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 blind
spot area.
An indicator light located near the outside
mirrors
1 will illuminate if the radar sensors
detect a vehicle in the detection zone.
The indicator light 2 will illuminate after the
ignition switch is on and the BSW system is enabled. This
indicates that the BSW system is operational.
The indicator light 2 will be extinguished if all of the warning
systems are deactivated using the Settings menu.
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 Driver Assistance menu in the vehicle 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.

FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING (FEB) (if so equipped)
The FEB system can assist the driver when there is a risk of a forward collisi\
on with a vehicle ahead in the traveling lane.
The FEB operates at speeds greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
If there is a risk of a forward collision, an audible tone will sound an\
d
the vehicle ahead detection indicator light 1 will illuminate. If the
driver applies the brakes after the warning and the FEB system detects
that there is still the possibility of a forward collision, the system w\
ill
automatically increase the braking force. If the driver does not take
action, the FEB system will issue a second visual warning
2, an
audible warning and also apply partial braking.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

ESSE NTIAL I N FOR MATION
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WITH
EASY FILL TIRE ALERT (if so equipped)
A Tire Pressure Low - Add Air (if so equipped)
warning message will appear in the trip computer
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.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above
16 mph (25 km/h). T he Tire Pressure Low - Add Air (if so equipped) warning
message and low tire pressure warning light
2 will extinguish.
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 recomme\
nded COLD
tire pressure.
To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert system (if so equipped):



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.
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 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 pressures (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.
