WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for Intelligent Around View Monitor.
Failure to operate the vehicle in accor-
dance with these system limitations
could result in serious injury or death.
∙ Do not use the Intelligent Around ViewMonitor with the outside mirrors in
the stored position, and make sure
that the lif tgate is securely closed
when operating the vehicle using the
Intelligent Around View Monitor.
∙ The apparent distance between ob- jects viewed on the Intelligent Around
View Monitor differs from the actual
distance.
∙ The cameras are installed on the front grille, the outside mirrors and above
the rear license plate. Do not put any-
thing on the vehicle that covers the
cameras.
∙ When washing the vehicle with high pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the cameras. Otherwise, wa-
ter may enter the camera unit causing
water condensation on the lens, a
malfunction, fire or an electric shock. ∙ Do not strike the cameras. They are
precision instruments. Doing so could
cause a malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
There are some areas where the system
will not show objects and the system does
not warn of moving objects. When in the
front or rear view display, an object below
the bumper or on the ground may not be
viewed
1. When in the bird’s-eye view, a tall
object near the seam
2of the camera
viewing areas will not appear in the moni-
tor.
The following are operating limitations and
do not represent a system malfunction:
∙ There may be a delay when switching between views.
∙ When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not display
objects clearly.
∙ When strong light directly shines on the camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
∙ The screen may flicker under fluores- cent light. ∙ The colors of objects on the Intelligent
Around View Monitor may differ some-
what from the actual color of objects.
∙ Objects on the Intelligent Around View Monitor may not be clear and the color
of the object may differ in a dark envi-
ronment.
∙ There may be differences in sharpness between each camera view of the
bird’s-eye view.

WARNING
∙ Failure to follow the warnings and in-structions for proper use of the Mov-
ing Object Detection (MOD) system
could result in serious injury or death.
∙ The MOD system is not a substitute for proper vehicle operation and is not
designed to prevent contact with ob-
jects surrounding the vehicle. When
maneuvering, always use the outside
mirrors and rearview mirror and turn
and check the surroundings to ensure
it is safe to maneuver.
∙ The system is deactivated at speeds above 5 mph (8 km/h) . It is reacti-
vated at lower speeds.
∙ The MOD system is not designed to detect surrounding stationary
objects.
The MOD system can inform the driver of
moving objects near the vehicle when
backing out of garages, maneuvering in
parking lots and in other such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects
by using image processing technology on
the image shown in the display.
MOD SYSTEM OPERATION
The MOD system will turn on automatically
under the following conditions: ∙ When the shif t lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
∙ When the CAMERA button is pressed to activate the camera view on the display.
∙ When vehicle speed decreases below approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) and the
camera screen is displayed.
The MOD system operates in the following
conditions when the camera view is dis-
played:∙ When the shif t lever is in the P (Park) or N (Neutral) position and the vehicle is
stopped, the MOD system detects mov-
ing objects in the bird’s-eye view. The
MOD system will not operate if the out-
side mirrors are moving in or out, in the
stowed position, or if either front door is
opened.

MOD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for MOD. Failure to operate the vehicle
in accordance with these system limita-
tions could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ Do not use the MOD system whentowing a trailer. The system may not
function properly.
∙ Excessive noise (for example, audio system volume or open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.
∙ The MOD system performance will be limited according to environmental
conditions and surrounding objects
such as:
– When there is low contrast be- tween background and the moving
objects.
– When there is a blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is
present. – When camera orientation is not in
its usual position, such as when a
mirror is folded.
– When there is dirt, water drops or snow on the camera lens.
– When the position of the moving objects in the display is not
changed.
∙ The MOD system might detect flowing water droplets on the camera lens,
white smoke from the muffler, mov-
ing shadows, etc.
∙ The MOD system may not function properly depending on the speed, di-
rection, distance or shape of the mov-
ing objects.
∙ If your vehicle sustains damage to the parts where the camera is installed,
leaving it misaligned or bent, the
sensing zone may be altered and the
MOD system may not detect objects
properly.
∙ When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not dis-
play objects clearly. This is not a
malfunction. NOTE:
The blue MOD icon will change to orange
if one of the following has occurred
∙ When the system is malfunctioning.
∙ When the component temperature reaches a high level (icon will blink).
∙ When the RearView camera has de- tected a blockage (icon will blink).
If the icon light continues to illuminate
orange, have the MOD system checked. It
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

moving the vent slides.
WARNING
∙ The air conditioner cooling functionoperates only when the engine is
running.
∙ Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be lef t alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
∙ Do not use the recirculation mode for long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up. NOTE:
∙ Odors from inside and outside the ve-
hicle can build up in the air condi-
tioner unit. Odor can enter the pas-
senger compartment through the
vents.
∙ When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air re-
circulation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.

Dehumidified defogging
This mode is used to defog the windows
and dehumidif y the air.1. Turn the air flow control dial to the
position.
2. Turn the
fan control dial to the
desired position.
3. Press the
button. The indicator
light comes on.
When the
,or positions in be-
tween are selected, the air conditioner au-
tomatically turns on. The air conditioning
system will continue to operate until the
fan control dial is turned to OFF or the ve-
hicle is shut off, even if the air flow control
dial is turned to a position other than
the
position. This dehumidifies the
air which helps defog the windshield.
The
mode automatically turns off, al-
lowing outside air to be drawn into the pas-
senger compartment to further improve
the defogging performance.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired position.
Operating tips
∙ Keep the windows closed while the airconditioner is in operation.
∙ Af ter parking in the sun, drive for two or three minutes with the windows open
to vent hot air from the passenger
compartment. Then, close the win-
dows. This allows the air conditioner to
cool the interior more quickly.
∙ The air conditioning system should
be operated for approximately ten
minutes at least once a month. This
helps prevent damage to the system
due to lack of lubrication.
∙ A visible mist may be seen coming from the ventilators in hot, humid conditions
as the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
∙ If the high temperature warning
light
illuminates in red indicating
engine coolant temperature is over
the normal range, turn the air condi-
tioner off. For additional information,
refer to “If your vehicle overheats” in
the “In case of emergency ” section of
this manual.

∙ If you feel that the air flow mode youhave selected and the outlets the air is
coming out do not match, select
the
mode.
∙ When you change the air flow mode, you may feel air flow from the feet vents
for just a moment. This is not a mal-
function. The air conditioner system in your NISSAN
vehicle is charged with a refrigerant de-
signed with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant does not harm the
earth’s ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant
is required when servicing your NISSAN air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioner system. For additional
information, refer to “Air conditioner sys-
tem refrigerant and oil recommendations”
in the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer to service your “environmentally
friendly” air conditioner system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains re-
frigerant under high pressure. To avoid
personal injury, any air conditioner ser-
vice should be done only by an experi-
enced technician with proper
equipment.
RADIO
When the ignition is placed in the ACC or ON
position, press the PUSH
(power) but-
ton to turn the radio on. If you listen to the
radio with the engine not running, the igni-
tion should be placed in the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station sig-
nal strength, distance from radio transmit-
ter, buildings, bridges, mountains and other
external influences. Intermittent changes
in reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en-
hance radio reception. These circuits are
designed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However, there are some general charac-
teristics of both FM and AM radio signals
that can affect radio reception quality in a
moving vehicle, even when the finest
equipment is used. These characteristics
are completely normal in a given reception
area and do not indicate any malfunction
in your NISSAN radio system.
