OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature
and outside air temperature are low, the
air flow from the foot outlets may not
operate. However, this is not a malfunc-
tion. After the coolant temperature
warms up, the air flow from the foot
outlets will operate normally.
The sensors
andlocated on the
instrument panel help maintain a con-
stant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around the sensors.
LINKING INTELLIGENT KEY (if so
equipped)
The air conditioner system settings can
be memorized for each Intelligent Key.
For more details, see “Setting memory
function” (P.3-42).
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
The air conditioner system is equipped
with an in-cabin microfilter which collects
dirt, pollen, dust, etc.
To make sure the air conditioner heats,
defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace
the filter in accordance with the specified
maintenance intervals listed in the “9.
Maintenance and schedules” section. It is
recommended to see a NISSAN dealer to
replace the filter.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow decreases significantly or if win-
dows fog up easily when operating the
heater or air conditioner.
SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
The air conditioner system in your NISSAN
is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind.
This re-
frigerant will not harm the earth’s
ozone layer. However, special charging
equipment and lubricant are required
when servicing your NISSAN air condi-
tioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioner system. (See “Capa-
cities and recommended fluids/lubri-
cants” (P.10-2) for air conditioner system
refrigerant and lubricant recommenda-
tions.)
Your NISSAN dealer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air condi-
tioner system.
WARNING
The system contains refrigerant un-
der high pressure. To avoid personal
injury, any air conditioner service
should be done only by an experi-
enced technician with the proper
equipment.
WINDOW ANTENNA
The antenna pattern is printed inside the
rear side glass.
CAUTION
. Do not place metalized film near
the 3rd row seat window or at-
tach any metal parts to it. This
may cause poor reception or
noise.
. When cleaning the inside of the
rear side window, be careful not
to scratch or damage the rear
side window antenna. Lightly
wipe along the antenna with a
dampened soft cloth.

5-6Starting and driving
Additional information
.Since the spare tire is not equipped
with the TPMS, the TPMS does not
monitor the tire pressure of the spare
tire.
. The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16
MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system may
not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example, a flat tire while
driving).
. The low tire pressure warning light
does not automatically turn off when
the tire pressure is adjusted. After the
tire is inflated to the recommended
pressure, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to
activate the TPMS and turn off the low
tire pressure warning light. Use a tire
pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure.
. The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
appears in the vehicle information
display when the low tire pressure
warning light is illuminated and low
tire pressure is detected. The CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE warning turns off
when the low tire pressure warning
light turns off.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
appears each time the ignition switch
is placed in the ON position as long as the low tire pressure warning light
remains illuminated.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
does not appear if the low tire pres-
sure warning light illuminates to in-
dicate a TPMS malfunction.
. Tire pressure rises and falls depending
on the heat caused by the vehicle’s
operation and the outside tempera-
ture. Do not reduce the tire pressure
after driving because the tire pressure
rises after driving. Low outside tem-
perature can lower the temperature
of the air inside the tire which can
cause a lower tire inflation pressure.
This may cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. If the
warning light illuminates in low ambi-
ent temperature, check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires.
. You can also check the pressure of all
tires (except the spare tire) on the
center display. (See NissanConnect
SM
Owner’s Manual.) The order of the tire
pressure figures displayed on the
screen may not correspond with the
actual order of the tire position.
For additional information, see “Low tire
pressure warning light” (P.2-15) and “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) ” (P.6-
3).
WARNING
. If the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates or Low Pressure
information is displayed on the
monitor screen while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneu-
vers or abrupt braking, reduce
vehicle speed, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. Driv-
ing with under-inflated tires may
permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire
failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in ser-
ious personal injury. Check the
tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low
tire pressure warning light OFF. If
the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may be flat or
the TPMS may be malfunctioning.
If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire as soon as
possible. If no tire is flat and all
tires are properly inflated, it is

recommended you consult a
NISSAN dealer.
. Since the spare tire is not
equipped with the TPMS, when a
spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for ap-
proximately 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
originally 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 prop-
erly 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 reception of the signals
from the tire pressure sensors,
and the TPMS will not function
properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of
the TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Some exam-
ples are:
. Facilities or electric devices using
similar radio frequencies are near the
vehicle.
. If a transmitter set to similar frequen-
cies 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. FCC Notice:
