This easy-to-use Quick Reference Guide is intended to help you more fully
appreciate some of the unique features and functions of your new vehicle.
However, it is not intended to replace your Owner’s Manual. The Owner’s
Manual contains more detailed information to help you better understand the
important safety warnings, features, operation, and maintenance of your
vehicle.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) OFF SWITCH (if so equipped)
The vehicle should be driven with the Traction Control System (TCS) on
for most driving conditions. TCS 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 engine power is needed to free a
stuck vehicle, such as from mud or snow, turn the TCS off.
To turn off the TCS, push the TCS OFF switch. The indicator light
will illuminate.
Push the switch again or restart the engine and the system will
operate normally.
FRONT-PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT
This vehicle is equipped with the Nissan Advanced Air Bag
System. Under some conditions, depending on the type of
occupant or object detected in the front passenger seat by
the occupant classification sensor, the front-passenger air
bag is designed to automatically turnOFF.When the front-
passenger air bag isOFF,the front-passenger air bag status
light will illuminate*. For example:
When the system detects that the front-passenger’s
seat is occupied by a small adult, child or child restraint
as outlined in the Owner’s Manual, the
will illuminateto indicate that the front-
passengerair bag is OFF and will not inflate in a crash.
When the front-passenger’s seat is occupied and the passenger meets the conditions
outlined in the Owner’s Manual, the
will not illuminateto indicate that the
front-passengerair bag is operational.
*When the system detects that the front-passenger’s seat is unoccupied, the
passenger air bag status light will not illuminate even though the front-passenger
air bag is OFF.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
This system monitors tire pressure. If the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates, check the tire pressure in all four tires.
Adjust the low tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Information label located in the driver’s
door opening. After tire pressures are adjusted, the vehicle will need
to be driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS
and turn off the low tire pressure warning light.
