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:
1. Remove and install the fuel-filler cap assoon as possible. For additional informa-
tion, see “Fuel-filler cap” (P. 3-22).
2. Tighten the fuel-filler cap until it 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.

3-24Pre-driving checks and adjustments

AUTOMATIC OPERATION (if so
equipped)
Tilt and telescopic operation
To adjust the steering wheel move the
switch
O1in the following directions:
• Adjust the steering wheel up or down in direction
O2to the desired tilt position.
• Adjust the steering wheel forward or backward in direction
O3to the desired
telescopic position.
CAUTION
For vehicles with memory seat: Failure
to reset the tilt and telescoping func-
tions of the steering wheel, af ter the
vehicle’s battery has been discharged,
may prevent the steering wheel posi-
tion from being adjusted.
For vehicles with memory seat: Both the tilt
and telescopic steering operation must be
reset af ter the vehicle’s battery has been
discharged in order to prevent the tilt and
telescopic operation from locking in one
position. When the battery has been re-
charged or replaced, perform the following:
• For tilt operation: Adjust the switch
O1so
the steering wheel moves to the highest
position
O2that can be reached.
• For telescopic operation: Adjust the switch
O1so the steering wheel moves to
the most forward and backward position
O3that can be reached.
Performing these operations resets the
range of the steering wheel’s tilt and tele-
scopic function.
Entry/Exit function (if so
equipped)
The memory seat 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, see “Memory
seat” (P. 3-30).

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-25

The outside mirror surfaces will return to
their original position when one of the fol-
lowing has occurred:
• The shif t lever is moved to any positionother than R (Reverse).
• The outside mirror control switch is set to the neutral or center position.
• The ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
NOTE:
If the outside mirror control switch is in
the center (neutral) position, mirror sur-
face will NOT turn downward when the
shif t lever is moved to R (Reverse).
For additional information regarding this
feature, see “Memory seat” (P. 3-30).
The memory seat system has three features:
• Memory storage function (Key-link)
• Memory storage function (Switch)
• Entry/exit function
Key-link, when enabled, automatically re-
tains the driver’s last seat, automatic steer-
ing wheel, and outside mirror positions for
that specific key when the ignition is posi-
tioned from ON to OFF.
Each memory switch button (1 or 2) on the
driver’s door can also store one additional
position which is independent of the key-
linked position.
MEMORY STORAGE FUNCTION
(key-link)
Use the following process to setup key-link:
1. Unlock the vehicle with the desired Intel- ligent Key while the ignition is OFF.
2. Place the ignition in the ON position.
3. Within the “Settings” menu of the vehicle information display, select “Key-Linked
Settings” and press the OK button on the
steering switch.
4. While in the menu, press the OK button on the steering switch to turn the sys-
tem ON/OFF. Once step 4 is completed, every time the
ignition is switched from ON to OFF, the
memory positions of the driver’s seat, au-
tomatic steering wheel and the outside
mirrors are linked to the Intelligent Key.
Follow the same procedure if you want
to link the 2nd, 3rd or 4th Intelligent Key.
NOTE:
If new memory positions are set prior to
turning the ignition from ON to OFF, the
previously linked memory positions for
the respective key will be overwritten by
new positions.
Recalling Intelligent Key memory
positions
If the “Key-Linked Settings” are enabled in
the vehicle information display for that par-
ticular key, every time you enter the vehicle
the driver’s seat, automatic steering wheel,
and outside mirrors will automatically
move to the driver’s last position of the
respective Intelligent Key.
NOTE:
The key-linked memory positions can be
different from the positions stored in the
memory switch (1 or 2).

MEMORY STORAGE FUNCTION
(switch)
Two positions for the driver's seat, steering
column and outside mirrors can be stored
in the memory seat system. Follow these
procedures to use the memory system.
1. Place the ignition in the ON or ACC posi-tion (the vehicle should be stopped while
setting the memory). 2. Adjust the driver's seat, steering column
and outside mirrors to the desired posi-
tions by manually operating each ad-
justing switch. For additional informa-
tion, see “Seats” (P. 1-2), “Steering wheel”
(P. 3-24) and “Outside mirrors” (P. 3-28).
3. Push the SET switch and, within 5 sec- onds, push the memory switch (1 or 2).
4. The indicator light for the pushed memory switch will come on and stay
on for approximately 5 seconds.
5. The chime will sound if the memory has been stored.
NOTE:
If a new memory position is stored in the
same memory switch, the previous
memory position will be overwritten by
the new stored position.
Confirming memory storage
Push the SET switch.
• If a memory position has not been storedin the switch (1 or 2) the indicator light for
the respective switch will come on for
approximately 0.5 seconds. • If a memory position has been stored in
the switch (1 or 2) then the indicator light
for the respective switch will stay on for
approximately 5 seconds.
Linking an Intelligent Key to the
meter display (if so equipped)
Each Intelligent Key, up to a maximum of
four, can be linked to the meter display.
1.
When the system is enabled, the recog-
nized Intelligent Key is displayed at start
up, as well as within “Key-Linked Settings”.
2. When the system is active, the meter setting items are memorized for each
Intelligent Key that has been enabled in
the system.
3. The memory seat system is memorized automatically when the ignition switch
is turned from ON to OFF by the Intelli-
gent Key with no need to set separate
buttons for recalling and memorizing
positions.
4. 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.LPD2348
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-31

the OFF position and initiate communi-
cation from the desired Intelligent Key.
6. Ignition from ON position to the OFF
7. Unlock door with the desired Intelligent Key
8. The desired Intelligent Key number should appear on the meter display.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION (if so
equipped)
This system is designed so that the driver's
seat and steering column will automati-
cally move when the shif t lever is in the P
(Park) position. This allows the driver to
easily get in and out of the driver’s seat.
The driver’s seat will slide backward and
the steering wheel will move up:
• When the driver's door is opened and theignition switch is in the OFF position.
• 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 shif t lever is in the P (Park)
position.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or
canceled through the “Vehicle Settings” in
the vehicle information display by perform-
ing the following:
• Switch the Exit Seat Slide from ON to OFF.
• Switch the Exit Steering Up from ON to OFF.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The memory seat 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 memory seat system is
operating.
• When the switch for the driver’s seat and steering column is pushed while the
memory seat system is operating. • When the seat has already been moved
to the memorized position.
• When no seat position is stored in the memory switch.
• When the shif t lever is moved from P (Park) to any other position.
The memory seat system can be adjusted
and canceled. It is recommended you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
