Front Radar Obstruction (if so
equipped)
This warning appears when there is a radar
obstruction detected. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)” in the “Starting and driving”
section of this manual.
Side Radar Obstruction (if so equipped)
This message appears when the Blind
Spot Warning (BSW) or Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA) systems become unavailable
because a radar blockage is detected. For
additional information, refer to “Blind Spot
Warning (BSW)” or “Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA)” in the “Starting and driving” section
of this manual.
Sport mode indicator (if so equipped)
A small “S” appears to the right of the Trans-
mission Shif t Position indicator in the ve-
hicle information display when the Sport

For additional information, refer to “Driving
the vehicle” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion of this manual.Your vehicle may have three types of secu-
rity systems:
∙ Vehicle security system
∙ NISSAN Anti-Thef t System
∙ NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual
and audible alarm signals if someone
opens the doors or lif tgate when the sys-
tem is armed. It is not, however, a motion
detection type system that activates when
a vehicle is moved or when a vibration oc-
curs. The system helps deter vehicle thef t but
cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the
thef t of interior or exterior vehicle compo-
nents in all situations. Always secure your
vehicle even if parking for a brief period.
Never leave your keys in the vehicle, and
always lock the vehicle when unattended.
Be aware of your surroundings, and park in
secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are
available at auto supply stores and spe-
cialty shops. A NISSAN dealer may also offer
such equipment. Check with your insur-
ance company to see if you may be eligible
for discounts for various thef t protection
features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows.
(The system can be
armed even if the windows are open.)
2. Remove the keys from the vehicle.
3. Close all doors and lif tgate. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with
the key fob (if so equipped), Intelligent
Key (if so equipped), door handle re-
quest switch, or mechanical key.

SECURITY SYSTEMS (if so equipped)
2-34Instruments and controls

Thebutton will be on the NISSAN In-
telligent Key® if the vehicle has Remote En-
gine Start. This feature allows the engine to
start from outside the vehicle.
The following features may be affected
when the Remote Engine Start feature is
used:
∙ Vehicles with a manual climate control system (if so equipped) will default to
the last used heating or cooling mode. ∙ Vehicles with an automatic climate
control system (if so equipped) will de-
fault to either heating or cooling mode.
For additional information, refer to “Re-
mote Engine Start with Intelligent Cli-
mate Control” in the “Monitor, climate,
audio, phone and voice recognition sys-
tems” section of this manual.
Laws in some local communities may re-
strict the use of remote starters. For ex-
ample, some laws require a person using
Remote Engine Start to have the vehicle in
view. Check local regulations for any re-
quirements.
Other conditions may affect the function of
the Remote Engine Start feature. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Conditions the
Remote Engine Start will not work” in this
section.
Other conditions can affect the perfor-
mance of the Intelligent Key transmitter.
For additional information, refer to “NISSAN

OPERATING RANGE
WARNING
To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, including entrap-
ment in windows or inadvertent door lock
activation, do not leave children, people
who require the assistance of others or
pets unattended in your vehicle. Addition-
ally, the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly become
high enough to cause a significant risk of
injury or death to people and pets.
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 197 f t (60 m) from the vehicle.

∙ When the shif t lever is in the D (Drive)position and the vehicle speed is below
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD
system detects moving objects in the
front view.
∙ When the shif t lever is in the R (Reverse) position and the vehicle speed is below
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD

this view.
When the MOD system detects moving ob-
jects near the vehicle, a chime will be heard
when in front or rear view and a yellow
frame will be displayed on the view where
the objects are detected. While the MOD
system continues to detect moving ob-
jects, the yellow frame continues to be dis-
played. In the bird’s-eye view, the yellow frame
1is
displayed on each camera image (front,
rear, right, lef t) depending on where mov-
ing objects are detected.
The yellow frame

WARNING
∙ The air conditioner cooling functionoperates only when the engine is
running.
∙ Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be lef t alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
∙ Do not use the recirculation mode for long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up. NOTE:
∙ Odors from inside and outside the ve-
hicle can build up in the air condi-
tioner unit. Odor can enter the pas-
senger compartment through the
vents.
∙ When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air re-
circulation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.

Operating tips
∙ Keep the windows closed while the airconditioner is in operation.
∙ Af ter parking in the sun, drive for two or three minutes with the windows open
to vent hot air from the passenger
compartment. Then, close the win-
dows. This allows the air conditioner to
cool the interior more quickly.
∙ The air conditioning system should
be operated for approximately ten
minutes at least once a month. This
helps prevent damage to the system
due to lack of lubrication.
∙ A visible mist may be seen coming from the ventilators in hot, humid conditions
as the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
∙ If the high temperature warning
light
illuminates in red indicating
engine coolant temperature is over
the normal range, turn the air condi-
tioner off. For additional information,
refer to “If your vehicle overheats” in
the “In case of emergency ” section of
this manual.
