WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a substitute for regular tire checks, including tire pressure checks. For additional informa-
tion, see “Changing wheels and tires” (P. 8-34). Many factors including tire inflation, alignment, driving habits and road conditions
affect tire wear and when tires should be replaced. Setting the tire replacement indicator for a certain driving distance does not
mean your tires will last that long. Use the tire replacement indicator as a guide only and always perform regular tire checks.
Failure to perform regular tire checks, including tire pressure checks could result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could
occur and may lead to a collision, which could result in serious personal injury or death.

CAUTION
Use the headlights with the engine run-
ning to avoid discharging the vehicle
battery.Autolight system
The autolight system allows the headlights
to be set so they turn on and off automati-
cally. The autolight system can:
• Turn on the headlights, front parking, tail, license plate and instrument panel lights
automatically when it is dark.
• Turn off all the lights when it is light.
• Keep all the lights on for a period of time af ter you place the ignition switch in the
OFF position and all doors are closed.
NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity and the
time delay for autolight shutoff can be
adjusted. For additional information, see
“Vehicle information display ” (P. 2-17).
To turn on the autolight system:
1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position
O1.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and a door is opened and lef t
open, the headlights remain on for a period
of time. If another door is opened while the
headlights are on, then the timer is reset.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the
switch to the OFF (if so equipped),

CAUTION
For vehicles with memory seat: Failure
to reset the tilt and telescoping func-
tions of the steering wheel, af ter the
vehicle’s battery has been discharged,
may prevent the steering wheel posi-
tion from being adjusted.
Both the tilt and telescopic steering opera-
tion must be reset af ter the vehicle’s bat-
tery has been discharged in order to pre-
vent the tilt and telescopic operation from
locking in one position. When the battery
has been recharged or replaced, perform
the following:
• For tilt operation: Adjust the switch
O1so
the steering wheel moves to the highest
position
O2that can be reached.
• For telescopic operation: Adjust the switch

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-25

•When replacing a wheel without the
TPMS such as the spare tire, when a
spare tire is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, tire pressure will not be in-
dicated, the TPMS will not function
and the low tire pressure warning
light will flash for approximately 1
minute. The light will remain on af ter
1 minute. Have your tires replaced
and/or TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
• Replacing tires with those not origi-
nally specified by NISSAN could af-
fect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
• Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pres-
sure sensors.
CAUTION
Do not place metalized film or any
metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the win-
dows. This may cause poor reception of
the signals from the tire pressure sen-
sors, and the TPMS will not function
properly. Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of the
TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate.
Some examples are:
• Facilities or electric devices using similar
radio frequencies are near the vehicle.
• If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is being used in or near the vehicle.
• If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/AC converter is being used in or near
the vehicle.
The low tire pressure warning light may
illuminate in the following cases:
• If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel and tire without TPMS
• If the TPMS has been replaced and the ID has not been registered
• If the wheel is not originally specified by NISSAN
