SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
.Do not use alcohol, benzine or
thinner to clean the camera. This
will cause discoloration.
. Do not damage the camera as the
monitor screen may be adversely
affected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera
, RearView Monitor may not
display objects clearly. Clean the camera
by wiping it with a cloth dampened with a diluted mild cleaning agent and then
wiping it with a dry cloth.

When the “” icon is displayed on the
screen, the camera image may be receiv-
ing temporary electronic disturbances
from surrounding devices. This will not
hinder normal driving operation but the
system should be inspected. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

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.
. 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.
See “Front and rear sonar system” (P.5-
136) for more information on the sonar
system and limitations.
System temporarily unavailable
When the amber markers are displayed at
the corners of the vehicle icon and the
function cannot be activated from the
Parking sonar settings menu (the setting
items are grayed out), the sonar system
may be malfunctioning.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar (lo-
cated on the front and rear bumper
fascia) free from accumulations of
snow, ice and dirt. Do not scratch the
surface of the sonar when cleaning.
If the sensors are covered, the accu-
racy of the sonar function will be
diminished.

.The MOD system might detect
flowing water droplets on the
camera lens, white smoke from
the muffler, moving shadows, etc.
. The MOD system may not func-
tion properly depending on the
speed, direction, distance or
shape of the moving objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage
to the parts where the camera is
installed, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be
altered and the MOD system may
not detect objects properly.
. When the temperature is extre-
mely high or low, the screen may
not display objects clearly. This is
not a malfunction.

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.

dry grass, waste paper or rags.
They may ignite and cause a fire.
CAUTION
.Do not use leaded gasoline. De-
posits from leaded gasoline ser-
iously reduce the three-way
catalyst’s ability to help reduce
exhaust pollutants.
. Keep your engine tuned up. Mal-
functions in the ignition, fuel in-
jection, or electrical systems can
cause overrich fuel flow into the
three-way catalyst, causing it to
overheat. Do not keep driving if
the engine misfires, or if notice-
able loss of performance or other
unusual operating conditions are
detected. Have the vehicle in-
spected. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
. Avoid driving with an extremely
low fuel level. Running out of fuel
could cause the engine to misfire,
damaging the three-way catalyst.
. Do not race the engine while
warming it up. .
Do not push or tow your vehicle
to start the engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire infla-
tion pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label, you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illumi-
nates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon
as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping abil-
ity. Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating prop-
erly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure tell-
tale. When the system detects a malfunc-
tion, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then re-
main continuously illuminated. This se-
quence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction indica-
tor is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, including
the installation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires
or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
