LOOSE FUEL CAP warning
The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning appears in the
vehicle information display when the fuel-filler
cap is not tightened correctly after the vehicle has
been refueled. It may take a few driving trips for
the message to be displayed. To turn off the
warning, perform the following:1. Remove and install the fuel-filler cap as soon as possible. For additional information, refer
to “Fuel-filler cap” in this section.
2. Tighten the fuel-filler cap until it clicks.
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 comfort.
The driver’s air bag inflates with great
force. If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of posi-
tion 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. Always sit back against the
seatback and as far away as practical
from the steering wheel. Always use the
seat belts.

● Adjust the steering wheel up or down in
direction
2to the desired position.
● Adjust the steering wheel forward or back-
ward in direction

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-25

AUTOMATIC OPERATION (if so
equipped)
Tilt and telescopic operation
To adjust the steering wheel move the switch1
in the following directions:● Adjust the steering wheel up or down in
direction
2to the desired tilt position.
● Adjust the steering wheel forward or back-
ward in direction
3to the desired tele-
scopic position.
CAUTION
For vehicles with automatic drive posi-
tioner: Failure to reset the tilt and tele-
scoping functions of the steering wheel,
after the vehicle’s battery has been dis-
charged, may prevent the steering wheel
position from being adjusted.
For vehicles with automatic drive positioner: Both
the tilt and telescopic steering operation must be
reset after the vehicle’s battery has been dis-
charged in order to prevent the tilt and telescopic
operation from locking in one position. When the
battery has been recharged or replaced, perform
the following: ● For tilt operation: Adjust the switch
1so
the steering wheel moves to the highest
position
2that can be reached.
● For telescopic operation: Adjust the switch
1so the steering wheel moves to the most
forward and backward position
3that can
be reached.
Performing these operations resets the range of
the steering wheel’s tilt and telescopic function.
Entry/Exit function (if so equipped)
The automatic drive positioner system will make
the steering wheel move up automatically when
the driver’s door is opened and the ignition
switch is in the LOCK position. This lets the driver
get into and out of the seat more easily. The
steering wheel moves back into position when
the driver’s door is closed and the ignition switch
is pushed.
For additional information, refer to “Automatic
drive positioner” in this section.

as within “Key-Linked Settings”.
3. When the system is active, the meter setting items are memorized for each Intelligent Key
that has been enabled in the system.
4. The auto drive positioner system is memo- rized automatically when the ignition switch
is turned from ON to OFF by the Intelligent
Key with no need to set separate buttons for
recalling and memorizing positions.
5. If two Intelligent Keys are in the vehicle, the system will recognize the Intelligent Key that
was used most recently, such as to
unlock/lock the door.
6. If there is a desire to change to another Intelligent Key while in the vehicle, the user
must turn the ignition OFF and initiate com-
munication from the desired Intelligent Key. a. Ignition from ON position to the OFF
b. Unlock door with the desired Intelligent
Key
c. The desired Intelligent Key number should appear on the meter display.

the settings are not to be memorized.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and automatic operation steering column will au-
tomatically move when the shift lever is 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 and the
steering wheel will move up: ●When the driver’s door is opened and
the ignition switch is in the OFF posi-
tion.
● When the ignition switch is turned from
ACC to OFF with the driver’s door open.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return to
the previous position: ● When the ignition switch is turned to ACC or
ON while the shift lever is in the P (Park)
position. The entry/exit function can be adjusted or can-
celed through the Vehicle Settings in the vehicle
information display by performing the following:
● Switch the Exit Seat Slide from ON to OFF.
● Switch the Exit Steering Up from ON to OFF.
Restarting the entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected or if the fuse
opens, the stored memory positions may be lost
and some of the functions will be restricted.
1. Drive the vehicle over 25 MPH (40 km/h).
OR 2. Open and close the driver’s door more than 2 times with the ignition switch in the OFF
position.
The entry/exit function should now work properly.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The automatic drive positioner system will not
work or will stop operating under the following
conditions: ● When the vehicle speed is above 4 MPH
(7 km/h).
● When any of the memory switches are
pushed while the automatic drive positioner
is operating.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-31

When driving in areas using road salt or other
corrosive materials, check lubrication frequently.
Lights*Clean the headlights on a regular basis.
Make sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail
lights, turn signal lights, and other lights are all
operating properly and installed securely. Also
check headlight aim.
Road wheel nuts (lug nuts)* When checking
the tires, make sure no wheel nuts are missing,
and check for any loose wheel nuts. Tighten if
necessary.
Tire rotation* Tires should be rotated every
5,000 miles (8,000 km).
Tires* Check the pressure with a gauge often
and always prior to long distance trips. If neces-
sary, adjust the pressure in all tires, including the
spare, to the pressure specified. Check carefully
for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
transmitter components Replace the TPMS
transmitter grommet seal, valve core and cap
when the tires are replaced due to wear or age.
Wheel alignment and balance If the vehicle
should pull to either side while driving on a
straight and level road, or if you detect uneven or
abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at
normal highway speeds, wheel balancing may be
needed.
● For additional information regarding tires,
refer to “Important Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in
the Warranty Information Booklet.
Windshield Clean the windshield on a regular
basis. Check the windshield at least every six
months for cracks or other damage. Have a dam-
aged windshield repaired by a qualified repair
facility.
Windshield wiper blades* Check for cracks or
wear if they do not wipe properly.
Inside the vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked on a regular basis, such as when per-
forming periodic maintenance, cleaning the ve-
hicle, etc.
Additional information on the following
items with an “*” is found in this section.
Accelerator pedal Check the pedal for smooth
operation and make sure the pedal does not bind
or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mat away
from the pedal.
Brake pedal Check the pedal for smooth opera-
tion. If the brake pedal suddenly goes down fur- ther than normal, the pedal feels spongy or the
vehicle seems to take longer to stop, see a
NISSAN dealer immediately. Keep the floor mat
away from the pedal.
Brakes
Check that the brakes do not pull the
vehicle to one side when applied.
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
P (Park) position mechanism: On a fairly
steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely
with the shift lever in the P (Park) position without
applying any brakes.
Parking brake Check the parking brake opera-
tion regularly. The vehicle should be securely held
on a fairly steep hill with only the parking brake
applied. If the parking brake needs adjustment,
see a NISSAN dealer.
Seats Check seat position controls such as seat
adjusters, seatback recliner, etc., to ensure they
operate smoothly and all latches lock securely in
every position. Check that the head restraints
move up and down smoothly and the lock knobs
(if so equipped) hold securely in all adjustable
positions.
Seat belts Check that all parts of the seat belt
system (for example, buckles, anchors, adjusters
and retractors) operate properly and smoothly,
and are installed securely. Check the belt web-
bing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.
