2017 NISSAN TITAN XD ESP

The E-call (SOS) system switch is used in com-
bination with a NissanConnectSMServices sub-
scription to call for assistance in case of an
emergency.
Pushing the switch will (with a paid subscription)
reach a Response Specialist that will provide
assistance based on the situation described by
the vehicle’s occupant. For additional informa-
tion, or to enroll your vehicle, refer to
www.NissanUSA.com/connect or call
855–426–6628. The TBCU on the instrument panel allows the
driver to adjust the braking force applied to the
trailer brakes.
For additional information, refer to “Towing a
trailer” in the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.12V OUTLETS
The power outlets are for powering electrical
accessories such as cellular telephones.
The power outlets located on the instrument
panel and inside the center armrest (if so
equipped) are powered only when the ignition
switch is placed in the ACC or ON position.
Open the cap to use a power outlet.

WARNING
●Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for the proper use of the
Around View® Monitor system could
result in serious injury or death.
● The Around View® Monitor is a conve-
nience feature and is not a substitute
for proper vehicle operation because it
has areas where objects cannot be
viewed. The four corners of the vehicle
in particular, are areas where objects do
not always appear in the bird’s-eye,
front, or rear views. Always check your
surroundings to be sure that it is safe to
move before operating the vehicle. Al-
ways operate the vehicle slowly.
● The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.

CAUTION
●After using the E-lock system, or during
normal driving, turn the switch off to
prevent possible damage to drivetrain
components from extended use.
● Avoid quick starts while the E-lock sys-
tem is in operation. Otherwise, the
drivetrain components could be
damaged.
● When the E-lock system is in operation,
turning the vehicle becomes difficult.
This can be dangerous, especially at
high speeds. Doing so could damage
drivetrain components.
● Do not operate the E-lock system when
the vehicle is turning or when one side
wheel is rotating. Otherwise, the drive-
train components could be damaged.
● The E-lock system operates only when
the engine is running.
● In 4H mode, the E-lock system does not
operate when the E-lock system switch
is turned to the ON position. (The E-lock
system indicator light will flash.)
● Observe the above cautions. Otherwise,
loss of normal steering control may
result. When the ignition switch is in the OFF position,
ECO management display appears.

position and the vehicle is driven at least
1/3 miles (500 meters) .
1The average fuel economy for the previous 5
times will be displayed.
2The average fuel economy since the last
reset will be displayed.
3The best fuel economy of the past history will

The ECO drive report can be set to be ON or
OFF.

The power assisted steering uses a hydraulic
pump, driven by the engine, to assist steering.
If the engine stops or the drive belt breaks, you
will still have control of the vehicle. However,
much greater steering effort is needed, especially
in sharp turns and at low speeds.

WARNING
●Never rely solely on the hill descent
control system to control vehicle speed
when driving on steep downhill grades.
Always drive carefully and attentively
when using the hill descent control sys-
tem and decelerate the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal if neces-
sary. Be especially careful when driving
on frozen, muddy or extremely steep
downhill roads. Failure to control ve-
hicle speed may result in a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle and possible serious
injury or death.
● The hill descent control may not control
the vehicle speed on a hill under all load
or road conditions. Always be prepared
to depress the brake pedal to control
vehicle speed. Failure to do so may re-
sult in a collision or serious personal
injury. The hill descent control system can only be acti-
vated when the 4H or 4LO switch is engaged.
The hill descent control system helps maintain
vehicle speed when driving under 15 mph
(25 km/h) on steeper downhill grades. Hill de-
scent control is useful when engine braking alone
cannot control vehicle speed. Hill descent con-
trol applies the vehicle brakes to control vehicle
speed allowing the driver to concentrate on
steering while reducing the burden of brake and
accelerator operation.
If the hill descent control light is blinking, the hill
descent control is engaged; however, the hill
descent control will not control the vehicle
speed.
● Once the system is activated, the indicator
light will remain on in the instrument panel.
For additional information, refer to “Hill de-
scent control system ON indicator light” in
the “Instruments and controls” section of this
manual.
● You may hear a noise from under the hood or
feel a vibration from the actuator when it is
operating. This indicates that the HDC sys-
tem is working properly. If the accelerator or brake pedal is depressed
while the hill descent control system is on, the
system will stop operating temporarily. As soon
as the accelerator or brake pedal is released, the
hill descent control system begins to function
again if the hill descent control operating condi-
tions are fulfilled.
For the best results, when descending steep
downhill grades, the hill descent control switch
should be ON and the shift lever in M1 (First) for
engine braking.

WARNING
●Never rely solely on the hill start assist
system to prevent the vehicle from mov-
ing backward on a hill. Always drive
carefully and attentively. Depress the
brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped
on a steep hill. Be especially careful
when stopped on a hill on frozen or
muddy roads. Failure to prevent the ve-
hicle from rolling backwards may result
in a loss of control of the vehicle and
possible serious injury or death.
● The hill start assist system is not de-
signed to hold the vehicle at a standstill
on a hill. Depress the brake pedal when
the vehicle is stopped on a steep hill.
Failure to do so may cause the vehicle
to roll backwards and may result in a
collision or serious personal injury.
● The hill start assist may not prevent the
vehicle from rolling backwards on a hill
under all load or road conditions. Al-
ways be prepared to depress the brake
pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards. Failure to do so may result
in a collision or serious personal injury. When the vehicle is stopped on a hill, the hill start
assist system automatically keeps the brakes ap-
plied. This helps prevents the vehicle from rolling
backward in the time it takes the driver to release
the brake pedal and apply the accelerator when
the vehicle is stopped on a hill.
Hill start assist will operate automatically under
the following conditions:
● The shift lever is shifted to a forward or
reverse gear.
● The vehicle is stopped completely on a hill
by applying the brake.
The maximum holding time is 2 seconds. After
2 seconds the vehicle will begin to roll back and
hill start assist will stop operating completely.
Hill start assist will not operate when the shift
lever is shifted into N (Neutral) or P (Park) or on a
flat and level road. When the VDC warning light
illuminates in the meter, the hill start assist system
will not operate. The sonar (parking sensor) system sounds a tone
to inform the driver of obstacles near the bumper.
When the “DISPLAY” key is ON, the sonar view
will automatically appear in the meter.

●The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other maneu-
vers. Always turn and look back before
backing up. The sonar system is not a
substitute for proper procedures.
● Read and understand the limitations of
the sonar system as contained in this
section. Inclement weather may affect
the function of the sonar system; this
may include reduced performance or a
false activation.
● This system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
● The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects to help avoid damaging the ve-
hicle. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or
on the ground.
● The system is deactivated at speeds
above 6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated
at lower speeds. ●
Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car wash,
a truck’s compressed-air brakes or a
pneumatic drill may affect the function
of the system; this may include reduced
performance or a false activation.
● The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
Always move slowly. The system will
not detect small objects below the bum-
per or on the ground.
● The system may not detect the follow-
ing objects: Fluffy objects such as
snow, cloth, cotton, glass-wool, etc.
Thin objects such as rope, wire and
chain, etc, or wedge-shaped objects.
● The system may not detect objects at
speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and may
not detect certain angular or moving
objects.
● The system is deactivated at speeds
above 6 mph (10 km/h) and is reacti-
vated at lower speeds.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sonar sensors1are located on the front
and rear bumpers. Always keep the area near the
sonar sensors clean.
The sonar 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 dirt obstructing the
sonar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing the
area around the sonar sensors.
