DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTED
AND ACTUAL DISTANCESThe distance guide line and the vehicle width
guide line should be used as a reference only
when the vehicle is on a level, paved surface.
The distance viewed on the monitor is for
reference only and may be different than the
actual distance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.
SAA1978
Backing up on a steep uphillWhen backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown closer than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to
the place
*A
, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m)
distance on the hill is the place
*B. Note that

recognition accuracy. By repeating a number of
commands, the users can create a voice model
of their own voice that is stored in the system.
The system is capable of storing a different
speaker adaptation model for memory A and
memory B.
If memory A is available, the system will use
memory A to store the model. If memory A is in
use and memory B is available, the system will
use memory B to store the model. If both of the memory locations are in use, the system will ask
the user to select which memory location should
be overwritten.
Training procedureThe procedure for training a voice is as follows.
1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably quiet
outdoor location.
2. Sit in the driver’s seat with the engine running, the parking brake on, and the
transmission in the P (Park) position.
3. Press and hold the
button for more
than 5 seconds.
4. The system announces: “Press the PHONE/ SEND (
) button for the hands-free
phone system to enter the speaker adapta-
tion mode”.
5. Press thebutton.
6. Voice memory A or memory B is selected automatically. If both memory locations are
already in use, the system will prompt you to
overwrite one. Follow the instructions pro-
vided by the system.
7. When preparation is complete and you are ready to begin, the press the
button.
8. The SA mode will be explained. Follow the instructions provided by the system. 9. When training is finished, the system will tell
you an adequate number of phrases have
been recorded.
10. The system will ask you to say your name. Follow the instructions to register your
name.
11. The system will announce that speaker adaptation has been completed and the
system is ready.
The SA mode will stop if:
. The
button is pressed for more than 5
seconds in SA mode.
. The vehicle is driven during SA mode.
. The ignition switch is pushed to the OFF or
LOCK position.

on all four wheels. Install tire chains
on the front wheels when driving on
slippery roads and drive carefully.
. Be sure to check the brakes imme-
diately after driving in mud or water.
See “BRAKE SYSTEM” later in this
section for wet brakes.
. Avoid parking your vehicle on steep
hills. If you get out of the vehicle
and it rolls forward, backward or
sideways, you could be injured.
. Whenever you drive off-road
through sand, mud or water as deep
as the wheel hub, more frequent
maintenance may be required. See
the maintenance information in the
“NISSAN Service and Maintenance
Guide”.
. Spinning the front wheels on slip-
pery surfaces may cause the AWD
warning light to flash and the AWD
system to automatically switch from
the AWD mode to the 2WD mode.
This could reduce traction. Be espe-
cially careful when towing a trailer.
