INTELLIGENT AROUND VIEW
MONITOR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for Intelligent Around View Monitor. Fail-
ure to operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could re-
sult in serious injury or death.
• Do not use the Intelligent AroundView Monitor with the outside mir-
rors in the stored position, and make
sure that the rear hatch 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 anything on the vehicle that cov-
ers the cameras. • When washing the vehicle with high
pressure water, be sure not to spray
it around the cameras. Otherwise,
water 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 elec-
tric 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 bum-
per 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 monitor.
The following are operating limitations and
do not represent a system malfunction:
• There may be a delay when switching be- tween views.
• When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not display objects
clearly.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-23

WARNING
• Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be lef t alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent op-
eration of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or ani-
mals.
• Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from slid-
ing or shif ting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible, and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces power efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substi-
tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain cor-
rect tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicatewhen the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously illu-
minated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the malfunc-
tion indicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, includ-
ing the installation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale af ter replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
Additional information
• When replacing a wheel without the TPMS
such as the spare tire, the TPMS does not
monitor the tire pressure of the spare tire.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND
DRIVING
5-4Starting and driving

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Maintain a firm grip on the steeringwheel with both hands and try to hold a
straight course.
3. When appropriate, slowly release the ac- celerator pedal to gradually slow the
vehicle.
4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe lo- cation off the road and away from traffic
if possible.
5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradu- ally stop the vehicle.
6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and contact a roadside emergency service
to change the tire. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Flat tire” in the “In case of
emergency” section of this manual.
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of al-
cohol or drugs. Alcohol in the blood-
stream reduces coordination, delays
reaction time and impairs judgement. Driving af ter drinking alcohol in-
creases the likelihood of being in-
volved in an accident injuring yourself
and others. Additionally, if you are in-
jured in an accident, alcohol can in-
crease the severity of the injury.
NISSAN is committed to safe driving. How-
ever, you must choose not to drive under
the influence of alcohol. Every year thou-
sands of people are injured or killed in
alcohol-related accidents. Although the lo-
cal laws vary on what is considered to be
legally intoxicated, the fact is that alcohol
affects all people differently and most
people underestimate the effects of alco-
hol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix!
That is true for drugs, too (over-the-
counter, prescription, and illegal drugs).
Do not drive if your ability to operate your
vehicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or
some other physical condition.
WARNING
• Do not operate the power switch while driving the vehicle except in an
emergency. (The EV system shuts
down when the power switch is
pushed three consecutive times or
the power switch is pushed and held
for more than 2 seconds.) If the EV
system stops while the vehicle is be-
ing driven, this could lead to a crash
and serious injury.
• When turning off the power switch, make sure to shif t the shif t lever to
the P (Park) position even if the ve-
hicle is maintaining a stop and hold
using the e-pedal. This will prevent
the vehicle from moving or rolling
unexpectedly, which could result in
serious personal injury or property
damage.
Before operating the power switch, make
sure the vehicle is in the P (Park) position.
