SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the sonar function. Failure
to operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.
Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’s compressed-air
brakes or a pneumatic drill may
affect the function of the system,
including reduced performance
or a false activation.
. This function is designed as an
aid to the driver in detecting large
stationary objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle.
. The system is not designed to
prevent contact with small or
moving objects.
. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and
may not detect objects close to
the bumper or on the ground.
. The system may not detect the
following objects:
— Fluffy objects such as snow,
cloth, cotton, grass or wool.
— Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain.
— Wedge-shaped objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage
to the bumper fascia, leaving it
misaligned or bent, the sensing
zone may be altered causing in-
accurate measurement of objects

or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio sys-
tem volume or an open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the tone and
it may not be heard.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAIL-
ABLE
When the amber markers are displayed at
the corners of the vehicle icon and the
function cannot be activated from the
“Sonar” settings (the setting items are
grayed out), the sonar system may be
malfunctioning.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar sen-
sors (located on the front and rear
bumper fascia) free from accumula-
tions of snow, ice and dirt. Do not
scratch the surface of the sonar
sensors when cleaning. If the sen-
sors are covered, the accuracy of thesonar function will be diminished.

OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature
and outside air temperature are low, the
air flow from the foot outlets may not
operate. However, this is not a malfunc-
tion. After the coolant temperature
warms up, the air flow from the foot
outlets will operate normally.
The sensors
andlocated on the
instrument panel help maintain a con-
stant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around the sensors.
LINKING INTELLIGENT KEY (if so
equipped)
The air conditioner system settings can
be memorized for each Intelligent Key.
For more details, see “Setting memory
function” (P.3-42).
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
The air conditioner system is equipped
with an in-cabin microfilter which collects
dirt, pollen, dust, etc.
To make sure the air conditioner heats,
defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace
the filter in accordance with the specified
maintenance intervals listed in the “9.
Maintenance and schedules” section. It is
recommended to see a NISSAN dealer to
replace the filter.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow decreases significantly or if win-
dows fog up easily when operating the
heater or air conditioner.
SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
The air conditioner system in your NISSAN
is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind.
This re-
frigerant will not harm the earth’s
ozone layer. However, special charging
equipment and lubricant are required
when servicing your NISSAN air condi-
tioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioner system. (See “Capa-
cities and recommended fluids/lubri-
cants” (P.10-2) for air conditioner system
refrigerant and lubricant recommenda-
tions.)
Your NISSAN dealer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air condi-
tioner system.
WARNING
The system contains refrigerant un-
der high pressure. To avoid personal
injury, any air conditioner service
should be done only by an experi-
enced technician with the proper
equipment.
WINDOW ANTENNA
The antenna pattern is printed inside the
rear side glass.
CAUTION
. Do not place metalized film near
the 3rd row seat window or at-
tach any metal parts to it. This
may cause poor reception or
noise.
. When cleaning the inside of the
rear side window, be careful not
to scratch or damage the rear
side window antenna. Lightly
wipe along the antenna with a
dampened soft cloth.

ANTENNA

recommended you consult a
NISSAN dealer.
. Since the spare tire is not
equipped with the TPMS, 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 ap-
proximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after 1 minute.
Have your tires replaced and/or
TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for these
services.
. Replacing tires with those not
originally 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 pressure sensors.
CAUTION
.The TPMS may not function prop-
erly 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 windows. This may cause
poor reception of the signals
from the tire pressure sensors,
and the TPMS will not function
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 exam-
ples are:
. Facilities or electric devices using
similar radio frequencies are near the
vehicle.
. 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.
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. FCC Notice:

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
BSW system could result in serious
injury or death.
.The BSW system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving proce-
dure and is not designed to
prevent contact with vehicles or
objects. When changing lanes, al-
ways use the side and rear mir-
rors and turn and look in the
direction your vehicle will move
to ensure it is safe to change
lanes. Never rely solely on the
BSW system.
. There is a limitation to the detec-
tion capability of the radar. Not
every moving object or vehicle
will be detected. Using the BSW
system under some road, ground,
lane marker, traffic or weather
conditions could lead to improper
system operation. Always rely on
your own operation to avoid ac-
cidents.
The BSW system helps alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when
changing lanes.
JVS0908X
The BSW system uses radar sensorsinstalled near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane.
SSD1030
Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the
detection zone shown as illustrated. This
detection zone starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends ap-
proximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear
bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m)
sideways.
BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) (if so
equipped)

Side indicator lightBSW system warning lightWarning systems switchCenter multi-function control panel
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, thesystem chimes (twice) and the side in-
dicator light flashes. The side indicator
light continues to flash until the detected
vehicle leaves the detection zone.
NOTE:
.
The side indicator light illuminates
for a few seconds when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position.
. The brightness of the side indicator
light is adjusted automatically de-
pending on the brightness of the
ambient light.
. If a vehicle comes into the detection
zone after the driver activates the
turn signal, then only the side in-
dicator light flashes and no chime
sounds. For additional information,
refer to “BSW driving situations”
(P.5-36).

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the BSW system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.
The BSW system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensors may not be
able to detect and activate BSW
when certain objects are present
such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles,
low height vehicles, or high
ground clearance vehicles.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the de- tection zone when you accel-
erate from a stop.
— A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed ap-
proximately the same as your
vehicle.
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
— A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through the detection zone quickly.
. The radar sensor’s detection zone
is designed based on a standard lane width. When driving in a
wider lane, the radar sensors
may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a
narrow lane, the radar sensors
may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away.
. The radar sensors are designed
to ignore most stationary objects,
however objects such as guard-
rails, walls, foliage and parked
vehicles may occasionally be de-
tected. This is a normal operation
condition.
. The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles:
— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/snow build-up on
the vehicle
— Dirt build-up on the vehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install ac-
cessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
