CAUTION
For vehicles with automatic drive posi-
tioner: Failure to reset the tilt and tele-
scoping functions of the steering
wheel, af ter the vehicle’s battery has
been discharged, may prevent the
steering wheel position from being
adjusted.
For vehicles with automatic drive posi-
tioner: Both the tilt and telescopic steering
operation must be reset af ter the vehicle’s
battery has been discharged in order to
prevent the tilt and telescopic operation
from locking in one position. When the bat-
tery has been recharged or replaced, per-
form the following: ∙ For tilt operation: Adjust the switch
1
so the steering wheel moves to the
highest position
2that can be
reached.
∙ For telescopic operation: Adjust the switch
1so the steering wheel moves
to the most forward and backward po-
sition
3that can be reached.
Performing these operations resets the
range of the steering wheel’s tilt and tele-
scopic function.
Entry/Exit function (if so
equipped)
The automatic drive positioner system (if
so equipped) will make the steering wheel
move up automatically when the driver’s
door is opened and the ignition switch is in
the LOCK position. This lets the driver get
into and out of the seat more easily. The
steering wheel moves back into position
when the driver’s door is closed and the
ignition switch is pushed.
For additional information, refer to “Auto-
matic drive positioner” in this section.

If a new memory position is stored in the
linked memory switch, then the key fob
will link the new position and overwrites
the previous position.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s
seat and automatic operation steering col-
umn will automatically move when the
shif t lever is in the P (Park) position. This
allows the driver to get into and out of the
driver’s seat more easily.
The driver’s seat will slide backward and
the steering column will move up:
∙ When the driver’s door is opened with the ignition switch placed in the OFF
position.
∙ When the ignition switch is changed from ACC to OFF with the driver’s door
open. The driver’s seat and steering wheel will
return to the previous position:
∙ When the ignition switch is changed from ACC or ON while the shif t lever is in
the P (Park) position.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or
canceled through the vehicle settings in
the vehicle information display (if so
equipped) by performing the following: ∙ Switch the Exit Seat Slide from ON to OFF.
∙ Switch the Exit Steering UP from ON to OFF.
Restarting the entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the stored memory positions
will be lost and some of the functions will
be restricted:
1. Drive the vehicle over 25 mph (40 km/h).
OR 2. Open and close the driver’s door more than two times with the ignition switch
in the OFF position.
The entry/exit function should now work
properly.

WARNING
∙ The Mobile Entertainment System isdesigned for rear seat passenger
viewing only.
∙ It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for a person to drive a motor vehicle
which is equipped with a television
viewer or screen that is located in the
motor vehicle at any point forward of
the back of the driver’s seat, or that is
visible, directly or indirectly, to the
driver while operating the vehicle.
∙ In the interest of safety, the monitors should never be installed where they
will be visible, directly or indirectly, by
the operator of the motor vehicle.
∙ If your vehicle is equipped with a wire- less rear seat audio system or any
other wireless infrared device, make
sure it is powered off when operating
the Rear Seat Entertainment System.
If both systems are powered on at the
same time, the two systems may ob-
struct each other, possibly creating
undesirable audio interference
through the wireless headphones. ∙ For safety reasons, when changing
video discs it is recommended that
the vehicle is not in motion, and that
you do not allow children to unfasten
safety belts to change discs or make
any adjustments to the system. Sys-
tem adjustments can be accom-
plished using the remote control unit,
while safety belts remain fastened.
CAUTION
∙ Be sure to run the vehicle engine whileusing the system. Using this system
without running the engine can result
in a battery drain. To avoid the risk of
battery drain, please remember to
turn off the system when the vehicle
is not in use. Do not touch the inner
pins of the jacks on the front panel.
Electrostatic discharge may cause
permanent damage to the system.
NOTE:
Depending on the USB device, it may or
may not charge when connected to the
USB connection port. Not all devices are
able to charge when connected to the
USB connection port. Each monitor includes a built-in dual chan-
nel infrared transmitter for use with wire-
less headphones. The wireless head-
phones must be used within a line of sight
from the transmitter as infrared transmis-
sion, like visible light, travels only in a

and cap when the tires are replaced due to
wear or age. Wheel alignment and balance:
If the ve-
hicle should pull to either side while driving
on a straight and level road, or if you detect
uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may
be a need for wheel alignment. If the steer-
ing wheel or seat vibrates at normal high-
way speeds, wheel balancing may be
needed.

tion mechanism:
On a fairly steep hill
check that your vehicle is held securely
with the shif t lever in the P (Park) position
without applying any brakes.
Brake pedal: Check the pedal for smooth
operation. If the brake pedal suddenly goes
down further than normal, the pedal feels
spongy or the vehicle seems to take longer
to stop, have your vehicle checked imme-
diately. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
Brakes: Check that the brakes do not pull
the vehicle to one side when applied.
Parking brake: Check the parking brake
operation regularly. The vehicle should be
securely held on a fairly steep hill with only
the parking brake applied. If the parking
brake needs adjustment, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
Seats: Check seat position controls such
as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc., to
ensure they operate smoothly and all
latches lock securely in every position.
