∙ The hill start assist system is not de-signed to hold the vehicle at a stand-
still 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.
Always 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 applied. This helps prevent the
vehicle from rolling backward in the time it
takes the driver to release the brake pedal
and apply the accelerator.
Hill start assist will operate automatically
under the following conditions: ∙ The shif t lever is moved 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.
Af ter 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
shif t lever is moved to N (Neutral) or P (Park)
or on a flat and level road.FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK
To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply
de-icer through the key hole. If the lock
becomes frozen, heat the key before in-
serting it into the key hole, or use the
NISSAN Intelligent Key®.
ANTIFREEZE
In the winter when it is anticipated that the
temperature will drop below 32°F (0°C),
check the antifreeze to assure proper win-
ter protection. For additional information,
refer to “Engine cooling system” in the “Do-
it-yourself ” section of this manual.
12–VOLT BATTERY
If the 12–volt battery is not fully charged
during extremely cold weather conditions,
the battery fluid may freeze and damage
the battery. To maintain maximum effi-
ciency, the 12–volt battery should be
checked regularly. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “12–volt battery” in the “Do-it-
yourself ” section of this manual.

NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY®
Replace the battery in the Intelligent Key as
follows:1. Remove the mechanical key from the Intelligent Key.
2. Insert a small screwdriver
Ainto the
slit
Bof the corner and twist it to sepa-
rate the upper part from the lower part.
Use a cloth to protect the casing.
3. Replace the battery with a new one. Recommended battery: CR2032 or
equivalent.
∙ Do not touch the internal circuit andelectric terminals as doing so could
cause a malfunction.
∙ Hold the battery by the edges. Hold- ing the battery across the contact
points will seriously deplete the stor-
age capacity.
∙ Make sure that the + side faces the bottom of the case. 4. Close the lid securely as illustrated with
CandD.
5. Operate the buttons to check the op- eration.

19 mph (30 km/h)), replace the CVT fluid every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
(2) If using a car-top carrier or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every 20,000 miles (32,000 km) or
24 months.
(3) For additional information on tire rotation, refer to “General maintenance” in this section.
