2022 NISSAN PATHFINDER display

The sonar system sounds a tone to inform
the driver of obstacles around the vehicle
using the sonar sensors located in the
front and rear bumpers..
When the sonar system is turned on, the
sonar view will automatically appear in the
vehicle information display.
WARNING
• The sonar system is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
parking.
• The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other ma-
neuvers. Always look around and
check that it is safe to do so before
parking.
• Read and understand the limitations
of the sonar system as contained in
this section. The colors of the corner
sonar indicator indicates different
distances to the object.
• Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck's compressed-air
brakes or a pneumatic drill may af-
fect the function of the system; this
may include reduced performance or
a false activation.
• The sonar system is designed as an
aid to the driver in detecting large
stationary objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle. •
The sonar system is not designed to
prevent contact with small or moving
objects. Always move slowly. The
system will not detect small objects
below the bumper, and may not de-
tect objects close to the bumper or
on the ground.
• The sonar system may not detect the
following objects: fluff y objects such
as snow, cloth, cotton, glass, wool,
etc.; thin objects such as rope, wire
and chain, etc.; or wedge-shaped
objects.
If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
stacles or false alarms.

SONAR LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the sonar system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
• Read and understand the limitations
of the sonar system as contained in
this section. Inclement weather may
affect the function of the sonar sys-
tem; this may include reduced per-
formance or a false activation.
• The sonar system is deactivated at
speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h). It is
reactivated at lower speeds.
• Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’s compressed-air
brakes or a pneumatic drill may af-
fect the function of the system; this
may include reduced performance or
a false activation.
LSD4276
For vehicles with the 12.3 inch (31.2 cm) display
Starting and driving5-187

•When the temperature inside the ve-
hicle is higher than approximately 86°F
(30°C), unless the Air Conditioning ECO
customize option is selected, and the
ECO driving mode is on. (When the air
conditioner is off, the Idling Stop Sys-
tem will operate.)
• When the front defroster is turned on.
• When more than 3 minutes have
elapsed since the Idling Stop System
was active.
• When the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
• When the steering wheel is operated.
(The steering wheel operation may be-
come heavy, but this is not a
malfunction.)
• When the battery capacity is low.
• When the power consumption is high.
• When the shif t lever is placed in the R
(Reverse) position.
• When the Idling Stop OFF switch is
pushed.
• When the negative pressure of the
brake system is not sufficiently applied
by depressing the brake pedal several
times.NOTE:
The following condition will prevent the
Idling Stop System from automatically
restarting the engine. Starting the en-
gine with the ignition switch operation is
then necessary:
• The hood is open.
Use this system while waiting at a stop
light, etc. When the vehicle is stopped for
long periods of time, turn off the engine.
When the engine is stopped by the Idling
Stop System, heating, cooling and dehu-
midif ying functions will be deactivated. To
avoid the air conditioning functions from
being deactivated, turn off the Idling Stop
System by pushing the Idling Stop OFF
switch.
RETROGRADE MOVEMENT
CONTROL FUNCTION
This system is designed to reduce the ret-
rograde movement that occurs while the
driver’s foot changes from depressing the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal when
moving the vehicle while the Idling Stop
System is active on a hilly road.
IDLING STOP SYSTEM DISPLAY
The status of the Idling Stop System can be
checked in the vehicle information display.
Starting and driving5-191

If the Idling Stop System is activated or de-
activated using the Idling Stop OFF switch,
the message is shown.The fuel saved and the engine stop time
mode shows the following items:
• The fuel saved shows the estimated
quantity of fuel that was saved by the
Idling Stop System every time the engine
is automatically stopped.
• The engine stop time shows the time that the engine has been stopped for by
the Idling Stop System. The total fuel saved and the engine stop
time can also be checked in the vehicle
information display. For additional infor-
mation, see “Vehicle information display –
7 inch (18 cm) Type A” (P. 2-22) or “Vehicle
information display – 12.3 inch (31 cm) Type
B” (P. 2-45).

If the engine stops when the Idling Stop
System is activated and will not start auto-
matically, the message is shown.This message is displayed when the Idling
Stop System is malfunctioning.
It is recommended that you have the sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.IDLING STOP OFF SWITCH
The system can be temporarily deacti-
vated by pushing the Idling Stop OFF
switch. Pushing the switch again or restart-
ing the engine by using the ignition switch
will reactivate the Idling Stop System.
• When the Idling Stop System is deacti-
vated while the engine is running, the en-
gine is prevented from automatically
stopping.

• When the Idling Stop System is deacti-vated af ter the engine has been auto-
matically stopped by the Idling Stop Sys-
tem, the engine will immediately restart if
suitable conditions are present. The en-
gine will then be prevented from auto-
matically stopping during the same
journey.
NOTE:
• The Idling Stop System ON or OFF mes- sage is displayed for a few seconds in
the vehicle information display when
the Idling Stop System OFF switch is
pushed. For additional information,
see “Idling Stop System ON or OFF”
(P. 5-191).
• The Idling Stop System resets to ON every time the ignition switch is
switched from the OFF position to the
ON position.
• It is best to disable the ISS system when towing a trailer. You can do this
by either pushing the Idling Stop OFF
switch, or by selecting TOW mode with
the Drive Mode Selector.
FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK
To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply
de-icer through the key hole. If the lock
becomes frozen, heat the key before in-
serting it into the key hole, or use the
NISSAN Intelligent Key®.
ANTIFREEZE
In the winter when it is anticipated that the
temperature will drop below 32°F (0°C),
check the antifreeze to assure proper win-
ter protection. For additional information,
see “Engine cooling system” (P. 8-5).
BATTERY
If the battery is not fully charged during
extremely cold weather conditions, the
battery fluid may freeze and damage the
battery. To maintain maximum efficiency,
the battery should be checked regularly.
For additional information, see “Battery”
(P. 8-14).
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER
If the vehicle is to be lef t outside without
antifreeze, drain the cooling system, includ-
ing the engine block. Refill before operating
the vehicle. For additional information, see
“Changing engine coolant” (P. 8-6).
TIRE EQUIPMENT
1. SUMMER tires have a tread designed to provide superior performance on dry
pavement. However, the performance of
these tires will be substantially reduced
in snowy and icy conditions. If you oper-
ate your vehicle on snowy or icy roads,
NISSAN recommends the use of MUD &
SNOW or ALL SEASON TIRES on all four
wheels. It is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer for the tire type, size,
speed rating and availability information.
2. For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires may be used. However,
some U.S. states and Canadian prov-
inces prohibit their use. Check local,
state and provincial laws before install-
ing studded tires.
Skid and traction capabilities of studded
snow tires on wet or dry surfaces may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow
tires.
3. Tire chains may be used. For additional information, see “Tire chains” (P. 8-37).
