  SONAR (
parking sensor)
    If the c amera Aided Sonar (parking sensor) detects 
objects toward the rear of the vehicle while in R 
(RE

within 3 ft. Then, a continuous audible sound is heard.
    either in bird’s-eye view or front-side view a red, yellow, 
or green field will be displayed dependent o n how far 
the object is from the rear of the vehicle, and where the object is dete\
cted.
    To temporarily disable the sonar (parking sensor), follow this procedure.
 
 
1.
    
St

TiRE PRESSURE MoNi To RiN G SYSTEM (TPMS)
with Easy Fill Tire Alert 
    A  Tire Pressure  l ow – Add Air warning message 
will appear in the vehicle information display 
01 and 
the low tire pressure warning light 
02 will illuminate 
when one or more tires are low on pressure and air   
is needed.
 
 
• 
 
T
he tire pressures should be checked when the 
tires are cold. The tires are considered cold after 
the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours or more or 
driven less than 1 mi (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
    When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the  TPMS with  e asy Fill Tire Alert provides visual and 
audible signals to help you inflate the tires to the 
recommended 
c
O
 LD tire pressure.
 
 
T
 o use the  e asy Fill Tire Alert:
 
 
1.
  
Move the shift lever to the 
 P (PARK) position and apply the parking brake.
 
 
2.
  
Place the ignition switc
 h in the  o N position. Do not start the engine.
 
 
3.
    
Add air to the under-inflated tire and within a few seconds, the hazar\
d warning lights will
  
start flashing.
 
 
4.
    
W
 hen the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the hazard 
warning lights will stop flashing.
 
 
5.
  
Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.
    After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 \
M PH (25 km/h).  
The  Tire Pressure 
l ow – Add Air warning message and low tire pressure warning light   
will disappear.
    When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for approximately 1 minute and then remains  on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
    Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle\
’s operation and the outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature o\
f the air inside 
the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure 
warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in your tires.
    The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to section 9, “Technical and consumer information” in your Owner’s Manual for the location of the Tire 
and Loading Information label. 
For more information, refer to the “instruments and controls (section 2)”, the “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the 
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)”  of your Owner’s Manual.

HYBRiD SYSTEM WARNiNG  liG HT
    This light will illuminate when the ignition switch is 
in the  o N position and will turn off when the hybrid 
system is started.
    The light will also illuminate when a malfunction occurs in the electric \
motor or hybrid system.
    When this light illuminates while driving, immediately stop the vehicle i\
n a safe location and  contact a NISSAN dealer.
    If the hybrid system warning light blinks while driving, it may indicate\
 that the Li-ion battery  
charge is low and you cannot continue to drive.
For more information, refer to the “instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
HYBRiD AWARENESS
    Your vehicle is virtually silent in the electric mode. If you exit your v\
ehicle while it is  o N, but the 
engine is not running, the engine will automatically start, informing you that the car is still  o N.
    Do not store your NISSAN Intelligent  key™ within detection range of the vehicle. This may 
cause welcome lights and other functions to activate creating unwanted b\
attery drain.
    The hybrid system is designed for optimum efficiency and performance. A\
ctivation of the  electric mode may vary with driving conditions and driver input. A full \
battery display does not 
indicate the vehicle should be in the electric mode..
For more information, refer to the “Hybrid System overview” section of your Owner’s Manual.
