●The climate controlled seat has an air
filter. Do not operate the climate con-
trolled seat without an air filter. This
may result in damage to the system.
● When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, benzine, thinner, or any simi-
lar materials.
● If any malfunctions are found or the
climate controlled seat does not oper-
ate, turn the switch off and have the
system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
The climate controlled seat warms up or cools
down the front seat by blowing warm or cool air
from under the surface of the seat. The climate
control switch is located on the center console.
The climate controlled seat can be operated as
follows:1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the control knob
Ato the heat side1
or the cool side2. The indicator lightBon
the control knob will illuminate. 3. Adjust the desired amount of air using the
control knob. The climate controlled seat
blower remains on low speed for approxi-
mately 60 seconds after turning the switch
on or selecting the desired temperature.
4. When the vehicle’s interior is warmed or cooled, or before you leave the vehicle, be
sure to turn the control knob to the Off
(center) position. The indicator light
Bon
the control knob goes off with the switch in
the off (center) position.
To check the air filter for the climate controlled
seat, it is recommended that you contact a
NISSAN dealer.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
The in-cabin microfilter restricts the entry of air-
borne dust and pollen particles and reduces
some objectionable outside odors. The filter is
located behind the glove box. For additional in-
formation on change intervals, refer to “Gasoline
Standard MaintenanceorDiesel Standard
Maintenance in theMaintenance and sched-
ules section of this manual.
If replacement is required, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
CLEANING
If your windshield is not clear after using the
windshield-washer or if a wiper blade chatters
when running, wax or other material may be on
the blade or windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield with a washer
solution or a mild detergent. Your windshield is
clean if beads do not form when rinsing with clear
water.
Clean each blade by wiping it with a cloth soaked
in a washer solution or a mild detergent. Then
rinse the blades with clear water. If your wind-
shield is still not clear after cleaning the blades
and using the wiper, replace the blades.
Change intervals
The oil and oil filter change intervals for your
engine are based on the use of the specified
quality oils and filters. Using engine oil and filters
that are not of the specified quality, or exceeding
recommended oil and filter change intervals
could reduce engine life. Damage to the engine
caused by improper maintenance or use of incor-
rect oil and filter quality and/or viscosity is not
covered by the NISSAN New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Your engine was filled with a high-quality engine
oil when it was built. You do not have to change
the oil before the first recommended change
interval. Oil and filter change intervals depend
upon how you use your vehicle.
Operation under the following conditions may
require more frequent oil and filter changes:● repeated short distance driving at cold out-
side temperatures
● driving in dusty conditions
● extensive idling
● towing a trailer
● stop and go commuting
For additional information, refer to the “Mainte-
nance and schedules” section of this manual.

FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT (stage
2)
NOTE:● It is possible the “Low Fuel Pressure
Service Fuel System” message will dis-
play on the vehicle information display
after fuel filter replacement due to air
being introduced into the fuel system. ●
If the “Low Fuel Pressure Service Fuel
System” message is displayed on the
vehicle information display with the
engine running, complete a full key
cycle and restart the vehicle. If the mes-
sage is still displayed or the Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light is illuminated after
a full key cycle , it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for service.
● For additional information on the loca-
tion of the fuel filter (stage 2) , refer to
the “Engine compartment check loca-
tions” in this section.
AUTOMATIC REGENERATION
Automatic regeneration occurs when the control
module detects the exhaust filter needs to be
cleaned. This is a normal process and will not
typically require any operator interaction.
If the automatic regeneration is not able to clean
the exhaust filter the vehicle information display
will display the following messages in order of
severity:● Exhaust Filter Overloaded See Owners
Manual for Drive Pattern
● Exhaust Filter Overloaded Engine Power
Reduced See Owners Manual
● Exhaust Filter Overloaded Immediate Ser-
vice Required
The instructions for these messages in the “Me-
ters and Gauges” section of this manual will
inform the driver to modify their driving pattern to
enable the automatic regeneration process.
