High Coolant Temp: See Owner’s Manual
This warning appears when the tempera-
ture of the engine coolant is too high. Stop
the vehicle in a safe location as soon as
possible. Avoid quick starting or abrupt ac-
celeration. When the warning turns off, the
vehicle can be driven.If the warning appears again soon af ter it
turns off, have the vehicle checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
Outside Temperature Display
The outside temperature display appears
in the center region of the vehicle informa-
tion display.
Low Outside Temperature
This warning appears if the outside tem-
perature is below 37°F (3°C). The tempera-
ture can be changed to display in Celsius or
Fahrenheit. For additional information, re-
fer to “Settings” in this section.
Oil and Filter
This indicator appears when the customer
set distance comes for changing the en-
gine oil and filter. You can set or reset the
distance for checking or replacing these
items. For scheduled maintenance items
and intervals, refer to the “Maintenance and
schedules” section of this manual.
Tire
This indicator appears when the customer
set distance is reached for replacing tires.
You can set or reset the distance for replac-
ing tires.WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, includ-
ing tire pressure checks. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Changing wheels and
tires” in the “Do-it-yourself ” section of
this manual. 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 driv-
ing distance does not mean your tires will
last that long. Use the tire replacement
indicator as a guide only and always per-
form regular tire checks. Failure to per-
form 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.
Other
This indicator appears when the customer
set distance is reached for checking or re-
placing maintenance items other than the
engine oil, oil filter and tires. Other mainte-
nance items can include such things as air
filter or tire rotation. The distance for
checking or replacing the items can be set
or reset.

Autolight system (if so equipped)
The autolight system allows the headlights
to turn on and off automatically. The auto-
light 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. To turn on the autolight system:
1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position
1.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON po- sition.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is turned off
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 head-
lights are on, then the timer is reset.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the
switch to the OFF,
,orposition.
NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity and the
time delay for autolight shutoff may be
able to be adjusted. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Vehicle information dis-
play ” in this section. Be sure you do not put anything on top
of the autolight sensor located in the top
side
1of the instrument panel. The au-
tolight sensor controls the autolight; if it
is covered, the autolight sensor reacts as
if it is dark out and the headlights will
illuminate. If this occurs while parked
with the engine off and the ignition
switch placed in the ON position, your
vehicle’s battery could become dis-
charged.

WARNING
∙ Radio waves could adversely affectelectric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
∙
If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sudden
steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,
reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the vehicle
as soon as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently dam-
age the tires and increase the likeli-
hood of tire failure. Serious vehicle
damage could occur and may lead to
an accident and could result in serious
personal injury. Check the tire pressure
for all four tires. Adjust the tire pressure
to the recommended COLD tire pres-
sure shown on the Tire and Loading In-
formation label to turn the low tire
pressure warning light off. If you have a
flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as
soon as possible. (For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Flat tire” in the “In case
of emergency ” section for changing a
flat tire.)
∙ When replacing a wheel without the TPMS such as the spare tire, when a
spare tire is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, 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 affect
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
∙The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with tire
chains or the wheels are buried in snow.
∙ 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
sensors, and the TPMS will not func-
tion 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 simi- lar radio frequencies are near the ve-
hicle.
∙ If a transmitter set to similar frequen- cies 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.

WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driv-
ing under the following conditions:
∙ When it is not possible to keep thevehicle at a set speed.
∙ In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed.
∙ On winding or hilly roads.
∙ On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.).
∙ In very windy areas.
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 - 89 mph (40 - 144 km/h) with-
out keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
To turn on the cruise control, push the
CRUISE ON/OFF switch. The CRUISE indica-
tor light or
indicator in the instrument
panel comes on. To set cruising speed,
accelerate the ve-
hicle to the desired speed, push the SET–
switch and release it. The SET indicator
light or
indicator in the instrument
panel comes on. Take your foot off the ac-
celerator pedal. Your vehicle maintains the
set speed.
∙ To pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle returns to the previ-
ously set speed.
∙ The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or down steep
hills. If this happens, drive without the
cruise control.
To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following three methods:
∙ Push the CANCEL switch; the CRUISE indicator light or
indicator in the
instrument panel goes out.
∙ Tap the brake pedal; the CRUISE indica- tor light or
indicator goes out.
∙ Push the CRUISE ON/OFF switch. The CRUISE indicator light or
indicator
in the instrument panel goes out. The cruise control is automatically can-
celed and the CRUISE indicator light
or
indicator in the instrument panel
goes out if:
∙ You depress the brake pedal while pushing the RES+ or SET– switch. The
preset speed is deleted from memory.
∙ The vehicle slows down more than 8 mph (13 km/h) below the set speed.
∙ You move the shif t lever to N (Neutral).
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use
one of the following three methods:
∙ Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the SET– switch.
∙ Push and hold the RES+ switch. When the vehicle attains the speed you desire,
release the switch.
∙ Push and release the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set speed in-
creases by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
