1. Pull the hood lock release handlelocated below the instrument panel
until the hood springs up.
2. Locate the lever
in between the
hood and grille, and push the lever up
with your fingertips.
3. Raise the hood.
4. Remove the support rod and insert it into the slot
.
Hold the coated part
when removing
or resetting the support rod. Avoid
direct contact with the metal parts, as
they may be hot immediately after the
engine has been stopped. When closing the hood:
1. While supporting the hood, return the
support rod to its original position.
2. Slowly lower the hood to about 8 to 12 in (20 to 30 cm) above the hood lock,
then let it drop.
3. Make sure it is securely latched.
WARNING
. Always be sure the liftgate has
been closed securely to prevent it
from opening while driving.
. Do not drive with the liftgate
open. This could allow dangerous
exhaust gases to be drawn into
the vehicle. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Exhaust gas
(carbon monoxide)” (P.5-4).
. To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and or its
systems, including entrapment
in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the
assistance of others or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Addi-
tionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.
. Always be sure that hands and
feet are clear of the door frame to
avoid injury while closing the
liftgate.

WARNING
.Fuel is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain
conditions. You could be burned
or seriously injured if it is misused
or mishandled. Always stop the
engine and do not smoke or allow
open flames or sparks near the
vehicle when refueling.
. Fuel may be under pressure. Turn
the cap a half of a turn, and wait
for any “hissing” sound to stop to
prevent fuel from spraying out
and possibly causing personal
injury. Then remove the cap.
. Use only an original equipment
type fuel-filler cap as a replace-
ment. It has a built-in safety valve
needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission
control system. An incorrect cap
can result in a serious malfunc-
tion and possible injury.

WARNING
.Gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive under cer-
tain conditions. You could be
burned or seriously injured if it is
misused or mishandled. Always
stop engine and do not smoke or
allow open flames or sparks near
the vehicle when refueling.
. Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Contin-
ued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.
. Use only an original equipment
type fuel-filler cap as a replace-
ment. It has a built-in safety valve
needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission
control system. An incorrect cap
can result in a serious malfunc-
tion and possible injury. It could
also cause the malfunction indi-
cator light to come on.
. Never pour fuel into the throttle
body to attempt to start your
vehicle. .
Do not fill a portable fuel contain-
er in the vehicle or trailer. Static
electricity can cause an explosion
of flammable liquid, vapor or gas
in any vehicle or trailer. To reduce
the risk of serious injury or death
when filling portable fuel contain-
ers:
— Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices when filling.
— Keep the pump nozzle in con- tact with the container while
you are filling it.
— Use only approved portable fuel containers for flammable
liquid.
CAUTION
. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle
body, flush it away with water to
avoid paint damage.
. Insert the cap straight into the
fuel-filler tube, then tighten until
the fuel-filler cap clicks. Failure to
tighten the fuel-filler cap properly
may cause the
malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate.
If the
light illuminates be-
cause the fuel-filler cap is loose
or missing, tighten or install the
cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The
light should turn
off after a few driving trips. If the
light does not turn off after a
few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
For additional information, see
“Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)” (P.2-16).
. The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning
message will be displayed if the
fuel-filler cap is not properly tigh-
tened. It may take a few driving
trips for the message to be dis-
played. Failure to tighten the fuel-
filler cap properly after the LOOSE
FUEL CAP warning message is
displayed may cause the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
to illuminate.

INSIDE MIRROR
Adjust the angle of the inside mirror to
the desired position.
SPA2143
Manual anti-glare type (if so
equipped)
The night positionwill reduce glare
from the headlights of vehicles behind
you at night.
Use the day position
when driving in
daylight hours.
WARNING
Use the night position only when
necessary, because it reduces rear
view clarity.
SPA2450-A
Automatic anti-glare type (if so
equipped)
The inside mirror is designed so that it
automatically changes reflection accord-
ing to the intensity of the headlights of
the following vehicle.
The anti-glare system will be automati-
cally turned on when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
When the anti-glare system is turned on,
the indicator light
will illuminate and
excessive glare from the headlights of the
vehicle behind you will be reduced.
Push the “*” switch
to make the inside
rearview mirror operate normally. The
MIRRORS

indicator light will turn off. Push the “I”
switchto turn the system on.
Do not allow any object to cover the
sensors
or apply glass cleaner on
them. Doing so will reduce the sensitiv-
ity of the sensor, resulting in improper
operation.
For the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
operation, see “HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver” (P.2-83).
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
WARNING
Objects viewed in the outside mirror
on the passenger side are closer

mirror could cause an accident. Use
the inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge distances
to other objects.

WARNING
.Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions for proper use
of the RearView Monitor could result in serious injury or death.
. RearView Monitor is a conveni-
ence feature and is not a sub-
stitute for proper backing. Always
turn and look out the windows,
and check mirrors to be sure that
it is safe to move before operat- ing the vehicle. Always back up
slowly.
. The system is designed as an aid
to the driver in showing large
stationary objects directly behind
the vehicle, to help avoid dama-
ging the vehicle.
. The distance guide line and the
vehicle width line should be used
as a reference only when the
vehicle is on a level paved sur-
face. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and
may be different than the actual
distance between the vehicle and
displayed objects.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front
of the camera.
The RearView Monitor system automati-
cally shows a rear view of the vehicle
when the shift lever is placed in the R

HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTIVE
COURSE LINES
WARNING
. If the tires are replaced with
different sized tires, the predic-
tive course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery
road, there may be a difference
between the predictive course
line and the actual course line.
. If the battery is disconnected or
becomes discharged, the predic-
tive course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly. If this occurs,
please perform the following pro-
cedures:
— Turn the steering wheel from
lock to lock while the engine is
running.
— Drive the vehicle on a straight road for more than 5 minutes.
. When the steering wheel is
turned with the ignition switch in
