SiriusXM TRAVEL LINK* AND SiriusXM TRAFFIC*
(if so equipped)
Your vehicle’s Navigation System is equipped
with SiriusXM Travel Link and SiriusXM
Traffic capabilities.

SiriusXM Travel Link provides access to real-time
weather information and forecasts, nearby fuel
prices, movie listings and stock quotes.

SiriusXM Traffic provides information that may
help to avoid delays due to traffic incidents.
Traffic jams, roadwork, road closures around the
current location, etc., are represented graphically
on the map by icons depicting the nature of the
event. Incidents on the route are automatically displayed when they are \
approached.
*These features, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio, Travel Link and Traffic, require an active subscription. Multiple subscriptions
may be necessary to activate the various features.
For more information, refer to the “Navigation (section 4)” and the “General system information (section 6)” of
your Navigation System Owner’s Manual.

HEATED STEERING WHEEL (if so equipped)
Push the heated steering wheel switch 1 to
warm the steering wheel after the engine starts.
The indicator light
2 will illuminate.

Once activated, the heated steering wheel
will automatically turn on and off to maintain a
temperature above 68°F (20°C).

When the surface temperature of the steering wheel is above 68°F (20°C) and the
control switch is turned on, the system will not heat the steering wheel. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
WITH EASY FILL TIRE ALERT
A Tire Pressure Low – Add Air warning
message will appear in the vehicle information
display
1 and the low tire pressure warning
light 2 will illuminate when one or
more tires are low in pressure and air
is needed.
• The 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 Easy Fill
Tire Alert provides visual and audible signals to help you inflate the \
tire to the recommended COLD tire pressure.

To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert system:
1. Move the shift lever to the P (PARK) position and apply the parking brake.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position. Do not start the engine.
3. Add air to the under-inflated tire, and within a few seconds, the haza\
rd warning
lights will start flashing.
4. When the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the
hazard warning flashers will stop.
5. Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.

After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 \
mph (25 km/h).
The Tire Pressure Low – Add Air warning message and low tire pressure warning
light will extinguish.

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 tempe\
rature of
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.
• Check the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always prior \
to long
distance trips.

The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to
the “Technical and consumer information (section 9)” 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.

LOOSE FUEL CAP
A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will

Malfunction Indicator Light
may
also illuminate.
