The climate controlled seat cools down
the front seats by blowing cool air from
the surface of the seat. The switches
located on the instrument panel can be
operated independently of each other.
1. Start the engine.
2. Push the climate controlled seatswitch to cool the seat. The indicator
light
on the corresponding switch
will illuminate depending on the cool
level.
3. Adjust the desired amount of air by pushing the switch again. The climate
controlled seat blower remains on low
speed for approximately 60 seconds
after pushing the switch on. 4. When the vehicle’s interior is warmed
or cooled, or before you leave the
vehicle, be sure to turn off the climate
controlled seats. To turn off the cli-
mate controlled seats, push the
switch until the indicator light turns
off.
To check the air filters for the climate
controlled seat, it is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use
the climate controlled seats if you or
the occupants cannot monitor seat
temperatures or have an inability to
feel pain in those body parts in
contact with the seat. Use of the
climate controlled seats by such
people could result in serious injury.
CAUTION
.The battery could run down if the
climate controlled seat is oper-
ated while the engine is not run-
ning.

For driving or starting the vehicle on
snowy roads or slippery areas, push on
the SNOW mode switch. The SNOW mode
indicator will illuminate. When the SNOW
mode is activated, engine output is con-
trolled to avoid wheel spin.
Push off the SNOW mode for normal
driving.

TOW MODE should be used when pulling
a heavy trailer or hauling a heavy load.
Driving the vehicle in TOW MODE with no
trailer/load or light trailer/light load will
not cause any damage. However, fuel
economy may be reduced, and the trans-
mission/engine driving characteristics
may feel unusual.
Push the TOW MODE switch to activate
TOW MODE. The indicator light on the
TOW MODE switch illuminates when TOW
MODE is selected. Push the TOW MODE
switch again to turn TOW MODE OFF.
TOW MODE is automatically canceled
when the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position.
SIC4455
The vehicle should be driven with the
Vehicle Dynamic Control (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
depressed to the floor. If maximum en-
gine 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 will illumi-
nate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. (See
“Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system”

.When the driver puts the vehicle in the
P (Park) position, a notification mes-
sage appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display with the options to
“Dismiss Message” 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 ap-
pear 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
after 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 liftgate is opened before a rear door is opened, the horn will be
delayed until after the liftgate 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 regardless 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 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, indicating
that there may be something in
the rear seat(s).
NOTE:
There may be times when the horn
sounds but there are no objects or
passengers in the rear seat(s).
(See “42. Rear Door Alert is activated” (P.2-
33).)
CAUTION
. Use power outlet with the engine
running to avoid discharging the
vehicle battery.
. Avoid using power outlet when
the air conditioner, headlights or
rear window defroster is on.
. Before inserting or disconnecting
a plug, be sure the electrical
accessory being used is turned
OFF.
. When not in use, be sure to close
the cap. Do not allow water or any
liquid to contact the outlet.

automatic operation when the ignition
switch is in the ON position or for 45
seconds after the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position.
Depending on the environment or driv-
ing conditions, the auto reverse func-
tion may be activated if an impact or
load similar to something being caught

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
provides a convenient way to consolidate
the functions of up to three individual
hand-held transmitters into one built-in
device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
.Will operate most Radio Frequency
(RF) devices such as garage doors,
gates, home and office lighting, entry
door locks and security systems.
. Is powered by your vehicle’s battery.
No separate batteries are required. If
the vehicle’s battery is discharged or is
disconnected, HomeLink® will retain
all programming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the origi-
nal transmitter for future programming
procedures (Example: new vehicle pur-
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased
for security purposes. For additional
information, refer to “Programming
HomeLink®” (P.2-81).
WARNING
. Do not use the HomeLink® Uni-
versal Transceiver with any gar-
age door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as re-
quired by federal safety stan-
dards. (These standards became
effective for opener models man-
ufactured after April 1, 1982). A
garage door opener which cannot
detect an object in the path of a
closing garage door and then
automatically stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these fea-
tures increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
. During the programming proce-
dure your garage door or security
gate will open and close (if the
transmitter is within range). Make
sure that people or objects are
clear of the garage door, gate,
etc. that you are programming.
. Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming
the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver. Do not breathe exhaust
gases; they contain colorless
and odorless carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It
can cause unconsciousness or
death.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink®
The following steps show generic instruc-
tions how to program a HomeLink®
button. If you have any questions or are
having difficulty programming your
HomeLink® buttons, refer to the
HomeLink® web site at: www.homelink.
com/nissan or call 1-800-355-3515.
NOTE:
It is also recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink® for quicker
programming and accurate transmis-
sion of the radio-frequency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held
transmitter 1-3 in (26-76 mm) away
from the HomeLink® surface, keeping
the HomeLink® indicator light
in
view.
