for approximately 1 minute. The
light will remain on after 1 minute.
Have your tires replaced and/or
TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for these
services.
.Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
.Do not inject any tire liquid or
aerosol tire sealant into the tires,
as this may cause a malfunction of
the tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION
.The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried
in snow.
.Do not place metalized film or any
metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the
windows. This may cause poor re-
ception of the signals from the tire
pressure sensors, and the TPMS willnot function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may temporarily
interfere with the operation of the TPMS and
cause the low tire pressure warning light to
illuminate. Some examples are:
.Facilities or electric devices using similar
radio frequencies are near the vehicle.
.If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is
being used in or near the vehicle.
.If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/
AC converter is being used in or near the
vehicle.
Low tire pressure warning light may illuminate in
the following cases.
.If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel and
tire without TPMS.
.If the TPMS has been replaced and the ID
has not been registered.
.If the wheel is not originally specified by
NISSAN.

TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the
TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert provides visual
and audible signals outside the vehicle to help
you inflate the tires to the recommended COLD
tire pressure.
Vehicle set-up:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
2. Apply the parking brake and place the shift
lever in the P (Park) position (CVT model) or
N (Neutral) position (MT model) .

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the BSW
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.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 your vehi-
cle will move to ensure it is safe to
change lanes. Never rely solely on
the BSW system.
The BSW system helps alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes.
JVS0649X
The BSW system uses radar sensors*1
installed near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles in an adjacent lane.

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 (3.0 m) behind the
rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m)
sideways.
BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) (if so
equipped)

*2Vehicle information display
*3Steering-wheel-mounted controls (left side)
*4Blind Spot Warning (BSW) switch (for models
without LDP system)
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approximately
20 MPH (32 km/h) .
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
*1
illuminates.If the turn signal is then activated, the system
chimes (twice) and the side indicator light
flashes. The side indicator light continues to
flash until the detected vehicle leaves the
detection zone.
The side indicator light illuminates for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.
The brightness of the side indicator light is
adjusted automatically depending on the bright-
ness of the ambient light.
If a vehicle comes into the detection zone after
the driver activates the turn signal, then only the
side indicator light flashes and no chime sounds.
For additional information, refer to “BSW driving
situations” (P.5-46).

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the BSW system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
.The BSW system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
.The radar sensors may not be able
to detect and activate BSW when
certain objects are present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles,
low height vehicles, or high
ground clearance vehicles.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the detec-
tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop.
— A vehicle merging into an adja-
cent lane at a speed approxi-
mately the same as your vehicle.— A vehicle approaching rapidly
from behind.
— A vehicle which your vehicle
overtakes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through
the detection zone quickly.
— When overtaking several vehi-
cles in a row, the vehicles after
the first vehicle may not be
detected if they are traveling
close together.
.The radar sensor’s 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
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 operation condition.
.The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles:— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the
vehicle
.Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material) , install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar
to detect other vehicles.
.Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAIL-
ABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the BSW
system will be turned off automatically, a chime
will sound and the “Unavailable: Side Radar
Obstruction” warning message will appear in thevehicle information display
*1.
The system is not available until the conditions
no longer exist.
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 dirtobstructing the radar sensors.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the
RCTA system will also stop working.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist, the
system will resume automatically.
If the “Unavailable: Side Radar Obstruction”
warning message continues to appear, have the
system checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the BSW system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically and the system mal-
function warning message will appear in the
vehicle information display.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the
RCTA system will also stop working.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, turn the
engine off and restart the engine. If the message
continues to appear, have the BSW system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
