NISSAN FRONTIER 2023 Owners Manual

CAUTION
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or other strong radio wave
sources are present near the operating
location, the Intelligent Key operating
range becomes narrower, and the Intel-
ligent Key may not function properly.
The Remote Engine Start function can only
be used when the Intelligent Key is within
the specified operating range from the
vehicle.
The Remote Engine Start operating range
is approximately 16 f t (5 m) from the vehicle.
REMOTE STARTING THE VEHICLE
To use the Remote Engine Start feature
perform the following:
1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
2. Press the
button to lock all doors.
3. Within 5 seconds press and hold the
button until the turn signal lights
flash and the tail lamps turn on. If the
vehicle is not within view press and hold
the
button for at least 2 seconds. The following events will occur when the
engine starts:
• The parking lights will turn on and remain
on as long as the engine is running.
• The doors will be locked and the climate control system may come on.
• The engine will continue to run for 10 min- utes. Repeat the steps to extend the time
for an additional 10 minutes. For addi-
tional information, see “Extending engine

see “Driving the vehicle” (P. 5-18).
EXTENDING ENGINE RUN TIME
The Remote Engine Start feature can be
extended one time by performing the
steps listed in “Remote starting the vehicle”
(P. 3-19). Run time will be calculated as
follows:
• The first 10–minute run time will start when the Remote Engine Start function is
performed. • The second 10 minutes will start immedi-
ately when the Remote Engine Start
function is performed again. For example,
if the engine has been running for 5 min-
utes, and 10 minutes are added, the en-
gine will run for a total of 15 minutes.
• Extending engine run time will bring you to the two Remote Engine Start limit.
A maximum of two Remote Engine Starts,
or a single start with an extension, are al-
lowed between ignition cycles.
The ignition switch must be cycled to the
ON position and then back to the OFF po-
sition before the Remote Engine Start pro-
cedure can be used again.

WARNING
• Make sure the hood is completely
closed and latched before driving.
Failure to do so could cause the hood
to fly open and result in an accident.
• If you see steam or smoke coming
from the engine compartment, to
avoid injury do not open the hood.
FUEL-FILLER CAP
WARNING
• Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seri-
ously injured if it is misused or mis-
handled. Always stop the engine and
do not smoke or allow open flames
or sparks near the vehicle when
refueling. •
Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
af ter the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling
may cause fuel overflow, resulting in
fuel spray and possibly a fire.
• Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It
could also cause the
Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light (MIL) to come on.
• Never pour fuel into the throttle body
to attempt to start your vehicle.
• Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable
fuel containers:
– Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
–
Do not use electronic devices when filling.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-21

–Keep the pump nozzle in contact
with the container while you are
filling it.
– Use only approved portable fuel
containers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
• Do not use a fuel containing more
than 15% ethanol in your vehicle. For
additional information, see “Fuel rec-
ommendation” (P. 10-4).
• The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning mes-
sage will be displayed if the fuel-filler
cap is not properly tightened. It may
take a few driving trips for the mes-
sage to be displayed. Failure to
tighten the fuel-filler cap properly af-
ter the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning
message is displayed may cause the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
to illuminate. •
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly may cause the
Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) to illu-
minate. If the
light illuminates
because the fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle. The
light should turn off af ter a few
driving trips. If thelight does not
turn off af ter a few driving trips, have
the vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
•
For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” (P. 2-19).
• If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage. To remove the fuel-filler cap:
1. Turn the fuel-filler cap counterclockwise
to remove.
2. Loop the tether strap around the hook
O1while refueling.
To install the fuel-filler cap:
1. Insert the fuel-filler cap straight into the fuel-filler tube.
2. Turn the fuel-filler cap clockwise until a single click is heard .

Loose Fuel Cap warning
The Loose Fuel Cap warning appears in the
vehicle information display when the fuel-
filler cap is not tightened correctly af ter the
vehicle has been refueled. It may take a few
driving trips for the message to be dis-
played. To turn off the warning, perform the
following:

2. Tighten the fuel-filler cap until a single click is heard.
WARNING
• Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose control
of your vehicle and cause an
accident.
• Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and com-
fort. The driver's air bag inflates with
great force. If you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways or
out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive serious
or fatal injuries from the air bag if you
are up against it when it inflates. Al-
ways sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat
belts.
TILT OPERATION
Pull the lock lever toward the driver and
hold it to adjust the steering wheel up or
down to the desired position.
Release the lock lever to lock the steering
wheel in place.

MANUAL ANTI-GLARE REARVIEW
MIRROR (if so equipped)
Use the night positionO1to reduce glare
from the headlights of vehicles behind you
at night.
Use the day position
O2when driving in
daylight hours.
WARNING
Use the night position only when nec-
essary, because it reduces rear view
clarity.
AUTOMATIC ANTI-GLARE
REARVIEW MIRROR (if so equipped)
The inside mirror is designed so that it au-
tomatically dims during nighttime condi-
tions and according to the intensity of the
headlights of the vehicle following you. The
automatic anti-glare feature is activated
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
NOTE:
Do not hang any objects over the sen-
sors
O1or apply glass cleaner to the sen-
sors. Doing so will reduce the sensitivity
of the sensors, resulting in improper
operation.
For additional information, see “HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver” (P. 2-80).
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
WARNING
• Do not adjust the mirrors while driv-
ing. You could lose control of your ve-
hicle and cause an accident.
• Objects viewed in the outside mirror
on the passenger side are closer than
they appear. Be careful when moving
to the right. Using only this mirror
could cause an accident. Use the in-
side mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge distances
to other objects.

cargo area or on the rear seat when it
is in the folded position. Use of these
areas by passengers without proper
restraints could result in serious in-
jury or death in an accident or sud-
den stop.
• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside a vehicle. In a colli-
sion, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
