The warning systems switch is used to turn
on and off the following systems that are
activated using the Settings menu in the
vehicle information display:
• Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
When the warning systems switch is
turned off, the indicator
O1on the switch is
off. The indicator will also be off if all of the
warning systems are deactivated using
the settings menu. The BSW system will turn on the side indi-
cator lights, located by the outside mirrors,
if the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone. If the turn signal is acti-
vated in the direction of the detected ve-
hicle, a chime sounds twice and the side
indicator light will flash.
The LDW system will sound a warning; the
steering wheel will vibrate; and the LDW
indicator (orange) will blink to alert the
driver of the vehicle is traveling close to
either the lef t or the right of a traveling lane
with detectable lane markers.
For additional information, see “Blind Spot
Warning (BSW)” (P. 5-32) and “Lane Depar-
ture Warning (LDW)” (P. 5-27).
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 will come
on.

If the indicator light flashes when the Front
and rear sonar system, MOD, RAB, or RCTA
systems are not turned off, it may indicate
a malfunction in one or more of these sys-
tems (if so equipped).
The Front and rear sonar system, MOD,
RAB, or RCTA systems will be turned on
automatically under the following condi-
tions:
• When the ignition switch is switched fromthe OFF position to the ON position.
• When the shif t lever is shif ted into the R (Reverse) position.
The automatic turning on function can be
turned on and off for these systems in the
vehicle information display. For additional
information, see “Settings” (P. 2-23).
For additional information, see “Front and
rear sonar system” (P. 5-122), ”Rear Auto-
matic Braking (RAB)” (P. 5-75), “Rear Cross

ject Detection (MOD)” (P. 4-23). Tow mode should be used when pulling a
heavy trailer or hauling a heavy load. Driv-

When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated and a driver exits the vehicle af ter
arriving at a destination:
• When the driver puts the vehicle in the P(Park) position, a message appears in the
vehicle information display for a driver to
“Dismiss Message” or “Disable Alert” if de-
sired.
• With the system enabled, when the driver exits the vehicle, an audible alert (horn
sound) will occur 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 audible horn alert occurs, a mes- sage will also appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display that states, “Check Rear
Seat for All Articles”.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 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, indicat-
ing that there may be something in the
rear seat(s).

CAUTION
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when operating the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is capable of receiving
and transmitting radio waves. The Intelli-
gent Key system transmits weak radio
waves from various distances. Environ-
mental conditions may interfere with the
operation of the Intelligent Key system un-
der the following operating conditions:
• When operating near a location where strong radio waves are transmitted, such
as a TV tower, power station and broad-
casting station.
• When in possession of wireless equip- ment, such as a cellular telephone, trans-
ceiver, or a CB radio.
• When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or covered by metallic materials.
• When any type of radio wave remote con- trol is used nearby.
• When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric appliance such as a personal
computer.
• When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter. In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key func-
tion or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies de-
pending on the operating conditions, the
battery’s life is approximately two years. If
the battery is discharged, replace it with a
new one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is low, an
indicator light illuminates with the mes-
sage “Warning, Key ID Incorrect” in the
vehicle information display. When the
Intelligent Key battery is low, the NISSAN
Intelligent Key® warning light (if so
equipped) will blink. For additional informa-
tion, see “Vehicle information display warn-
ings and indicators” (P. 2-31).
Since the Intelligent Key is capable of re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is lef t near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and per-
sonal computer, the battery life may be-
come shorter.
For additional information, see “Battery re-
placement” (P. 8-27).
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be
registered and used with one vehicle. For
information about the purchase and use of
additional Intelligent Keys, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.
