The vehicle should be driven with the VDC
system on for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is de-
pressed to the floor. If maximum engine
power is needed to free a stuck vehicle,
turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator light and
the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
system warning light will come on. Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Vehicle Dy-
namic Control (VDC) system” in the “Start-
ing and driving” section of this manual.
The E-call (SOS) button is used in combina-
tion with a NissanConnect® Services sub-
scription to call for assistance in case of an

Pressing the button will (with a paid sub-
scription) reach a response specialist that
will provide assistance based on the situa-
tion described by the vehicle’s occupant. For

hicle, refer to www.NissanUSA.com/connect,

The Rear Door Alert system functions un-
der certain conditions to indicate there
may be an object or passenger in the rear
seat(s). Check the seat(s) before exiting the
vehicle.
The Rear Door Alert system is initially dis-
abled. The driver can enable the system
using the vehicle information display. For
additional information, refer to “Vehicle in-
formation display warnings and indicators”
in this section.
When the system is enabled:∙ The system is activated when a rear door is opened and closed approxi-
mately 10 minutes before the vehicle is
started. When the vehicle is started and
the system is activated, a visual mes-
sage appears in the vehicle information
display. For additional information, refer
to “Rear Door Alert is activated” in this
section.
∙ If a rear door is opened and closed but the vehicle is not started within approxi-
mately 10 minutes, the system will not
be activated. A rear door must be
opened and closed and the car started
within 10 minutes for the system to ac-
tivate. When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated:
∙ When the driver puts the vehicle in the P (Park) position, a notification message
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play with the options to “Dismiss Mes-
sage” or “Disable Alert” if desired.
∙ Select “Disable Alert” to temporarily disable for that stop.
∙ No selection or ‘Dismiss Message” will keep the alert enabled for that stop.
∙ If the alert is enabled when a driver exits the vehicle, a message will appear in the
vehicle information display that states
“Check Rear Seat for All Articles.”
If “Horn & Alert” setting is selected:
∙ An audible horn sound will occur af- ter a short time unless a rear door is
opened and closed within a short
time to deactivate the alert.
∙ If the doors are locked before the alert is deactivated by opening a rear
door, the horn will sound.
∙ If the lif tgate is opened before a rear door is opened, the horn will be de-
layed until af ter the lif tgate is closed. NOTE:
If “Alert Only ” setting is selected, the
message alert will still be shown in the
vehicle information display but the horn
will not sound.
WARNING
∙ If the driver selects “Disable Alert”, no
audible alert will be provided regard-
less of rear door open/close status.
∙ There may be times when there is an object or passenger in the rear seat(s)
but the audible alert does not sound.
For example, this may occur if the en-
gine is turned off and then on again in
a short period of time during a trip, or
if rear seat passengers enter or exit
the vehicle during a trip.
∙ The system does not directly detect objects or passengers in the rear
seat(s). Instead, it can detect when a
rear door is opened and closed, indi-
cating that there may be something in
the rear seat(s).
