●The keyfob button must be held for 0.5 sec-
ond before the lift gate opens.
● The lift gate must be unlocked to open it with
the outside opener handle.
● The switch on the rear pillar cannot be used
to open the lift gate.
A warning chime will sound if the shift selector is
moved out of P (Park) during a power open
operation.
Power Close:
The power lift gate automatically moves from the
fully open position to the secondary position.
When the lift gate reaches the secondary posi-
tion, the cinching motor engages and pulls the lift
gate to its primary latch position. Power close
takes approximately7–10seconds. The power
close feature can be activated by the switch on
the keyfob, the instrument panel and the rear
pillar. The hazard lights flash and a chime sounds
to indicate the power close sequence has been
started.
● If the outside opener handle is activated
while the cinching motor is engaged, the
cinching motor will disengage and release
the latch.
● The keyfob button must be held for 0.5 sec-
ond before the lift gate closes. ●
The switch on the rear pillar can only be used
to close the lift gate if the cancel switch is
not in the on position.
Reverse:
The power lift gate will reverse direction immedi-
ately during power open or power close if the
keyfob, instrument panel or rear pillar switch is
pushed or if the outside handle is lifted. A chime
will sound to announce the reversal.
Auto Reverse:
If an obstacle is detected during power open or
power close, a warning chime will sound and the
lift gate will reverse direction and return to the full
open or full close position. If a second obstacle is
detected, the lift gate motion will stop and the
drive motor will disengage. The lift gate will enter
manual mode.
A pinch strip is mounted on each side of the lift
gate. If an obstacle is detected by a pinch strip
during power close, the lift gate will reverse di-
rection and return to the full open position.
NOTE:
If the pinch strip is damaged or removed,
the power close function will not operate.

MEMORY STORAGE FUNCTION
Two positions for the driver’s seat, accelerator
and brake pedals, and outside mirrors can be
stored in the automatic drive positioner memory.
Follow these procedures to use the memory sys-
tem.1. Place the shift selector in the P (Park) posi- tion.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position.
3. Adjust the driver’s seat, accelerator and brake pedals, and outside mirrors to the
desired positions by manually operating
each adjusting switch. For additional infor- mation, see “Seats” in the “Safety—Seats,

tion adjustment” and “Outside mirrors” ear-
lier in this section.
During this step, do not place the ignition
switch in any position other than ON.
4. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds, push the memory switch (1 or 2) .
The indicator light for the pushed memory
switch will come on and stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds after pushing the switch.
After the indicator light goes off, the se-
lected positions are stored in the selected
memory (1 or 2) .
If a new memory is stored in the same memory
switch, the previous memory will be deleted.
Linking a keyfob to a stored memory
position
Each keyfob can be linked to a stored memory
position (memory switch 1 or 2) with the follow-

can also restart the memory storage function
using the following procedure.
1. Connect the battery cable or replace the fuse.
2. Open and close the driver’s door more than 2 times with the ignition switch in the LOCK

ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s seat
will automatically move when the shift selector is
placed in the P (Park) position. This allows the
driver to get into and out of the driver’s seat more
easily.
The driver’s seat will slide backward: ● When the key is removed from the ignition
switch and the driver’s door is opened.
● When the driver’s door is opened with the
ignition switch placed in the LOCK position.
● When the ignition switch is turned from
ACC to LOCK with the driver’s door open.
The driver’s seat will return to the previous posi-
tion: ● When the key is inserted into the ignition
switch and the driver’s door is closed.
● When the driver’s door is closed with the
ignition switch placed in the LOCK position.
● When the ignition switch is turned from
ACC to ON while the shift selector is in the P
(Park) position.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or can-
celed. For vehicles with navigation system, see
“Comfort & convenience settings” in the “Moni-
tor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems” section of this manual. For vehicles
without navigation system, see your NISSAN
dealer.
Restarting the entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected or if the fuse
opens, the entry/exit function will be disabled.

restart the entry/exit function. You can also restart
the entry/exit function using the following proce-
dure.
1. Connect the battery cable or replace the fuse.
2. Open and close the driver’s door more than 2 times with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position.
