2017 NISSAN ROGUE battery

Be sure you do not put anything on top of
the autolight sensor located in the top side
1of the instrument panel. The autolight
sensor controls the autolight; if it is cov-
ered, the autolight sensor reacts as if it is
dark out and the headlights will illuminate.
If this occurs while parked with the engine
off and the ignition switch placed in the ON
position, your vehicle’s battery could be-
come discharged.
Headlight beam select
1To select the high beam function, push the
lever forward. The high beam lights come on
and the
light illuminates.
2Pull the lever back to select the low beam.
3Pulling and releasing the lever flashes the
headlight high beams on and off.
High beam assist (if so equipped)
The high beam assist system will operate when
the vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) and above. If an oncoming
vehicle or leading vehicle appears in front of your vehicle when the headlight high beam is on, the
headlight will be switched to the low beam auto-
matically.
WARNING
●
The high beam assist system is a con-
venience but it is not a substitute for
safe driving operation. The driver
should remain alert at all times, ensure
safe driving practices and switch the
high beams and low beam manually
when necessary.
● The high beam or low beam may not
switch automatically under the follow-
ing conditions. Switch the high beam
and low beam manually.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.) .
– When a light source similar to a headlight or tail light is in the vicinity
of the vehicle.
– When the headlights of the oncom- ing vehicle or the leading vehicle are
turned off, when the color of the light
is affected due to foreign materials
on the lights, or when the light beam
is out of position.

high beam assist system and prevent a system
malfunction, be sure to observe the following:
● Always keep the windshield clean.
● Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near the
ambient image sensor.
● Do not strike or damage the areas around
the ambient image sensor. Do not touch the
sensor lens that is located on the ambient
image sensor. If the ambient image sensor is damaged due to an
accident, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer.

Auto-reverse function
The auto-reverse function can be activated when
a window is closed by automatic operation.
Depending on the environment or driving
conditions, the auto-reverse function may
be activated if an impact or load similar to
something being caught in the window oc-
curs.
WARNING
There are some small distances immedi-
ately before the closed position which
cannot be detected. Make sure that all
passengers have their hands, etc., inside
the vehicle before closing the window.
If the vehicle’s battery is disconnected, replaced,
or jump started, the power window auto-reverse
function may not operate properly. If this occurs,
please contact the dealer to re-initialize the
power window auto-reverse system.
If the control unit detects something caught in a
window equipped with automatic operation, as it
is closing, the window will be immediately low-
ered. The moonroof will only operate when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. The moon-
roof is operational for a period of time, even if the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position. If the
driver’s door or the front passenger’s door is
opened during this period of time, the power to
the moonroof is canceled.
When operating the power moonroof or pan-
oramic sunshade, the switch need not be held
continuously. To stop the moonroof or sunshade
at any point while it is opening or closing, slide
the switch momentarily.
Sliding the moonroof

and release it. If the switch is slid to the first
detent and released while the sunshade is closed
only the sunshade will open.
To fully close the moonroof, slide the switch to-
ward the close

The light illuminates when the rear hatch is
opened. When the rear hatch is closed, the light
will turn off.

tery from becoming discharged.The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver provides
a convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
● Will operate most radio frequency devices
such as garage doors, gates, home and of-
fice lighting, entry door locks and security
systems.
● Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all program-
ming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (Example: new vehicle purchases) .
Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes. For
additional information, refer to “Program-
ming HomeLink®” in this section.WARNING
● Do not use the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982) . A ga-
rage door opener which cannot detect
an object in the path of a closing garage
door and then automatically stop and
reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
● During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range) . Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
● Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver. Do not breathe
exhaust gases; they contain colorless
and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
