CAUTION
∙ The battery could run down if the cli-mate control seat is operated while
the engine is not running.
∙ Do not use the climate control seat for extended periods or when no one is
using the seat.
∙ Do not put anything on the seat which insulates heat, such as a blanket,
cushion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise,
the seat may become overheated.
∙ Do not place anything hard or heavy on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar objects. This may result in
damage to the climate controlled
seat.
∙ Any liquid spilled on the seat should be removed immediately with a dry
cloth
∙ The climate controlled seat has an air filter. Do not operate the climate con-
trolled seat without an air filter. This
may result in damage to the system.
∙ When cleaning the seat, never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, or any
similar materials. ∙ If any malfunctions are found or the
climate controlled seat does not oper-
ate, turn the switch off and have the
system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
The climate controlled seat warms up or
cools down the front seat by blowing warm
or cool air from under the surface of the
seat. The climate control switch is located
on the center console.
The climate controlled seat can be oper-
ated as follows: 1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the control knob

3. Adjust the desired amount of air using the control knob. The climate con-
trolled seat blower remains on low
speed for approximately 60 seconds
af ter turning the switch on or selecting
the desired temperature. 4. When the vehicle’s interior is warmed
or cooled, or before you leave the ve-
hicle, be sure to turn the control knob
to the OFF (center) position. The indica-

Instruments and controls2-45

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 feature may be affected
when Remote Engine Start is used:
∙ Vehicles with an automatic climate control system will default to either a
heating or cooling mode depending on
outside and cabin temperatures. For
additional information, refer to “Remote
Engine Start with Intelligent Climate
Control” in the “Monitor, climate, audio,
phone and voice recognition systems”
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
Intelligent Key®” in this section.
REMOTE ENGINE START
OPERATING RANGE
WARNING
To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadvertent
door lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the assistance
of others or pets unattended in your ve-
hicle. Additionally, the temperature in-
side a closed vehicle 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 ve-
hicle.
LPD2272
REMOTE ENGINE START (if so
equipped)
3-28Pre-driving checks and adjustments

The Remote Engine Start operating range
is approximately 197 f t (60 m) from the ve-
hicle.
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 sec-
onds.
The following events will occur when the
engine starts:
∙ The parking lights will turn on and re- main on as long as the engine is run-
ning.
∙ The doors will be locked and the climate control system may come on. ∙ The engine will continue to run for
10 minutes. Repeat the steps to extend
the time for an additional 10 minutes.
For additional information, refer to “Ex-
tending engine run time” in this section.
Press and hold the brake pedal while
switching the ignition to the ON position
before driving. For additional information,

EXTENDING ENGINE RUN TIME
The Remote Engine Start feature can be
extended one time by performing the
steps listed in “Remote starting the vehicle”
in this section. 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 imme- diately when the Remote Engine Start
function is performed again. For ex-
ample, if the engine has been running
for 5 minutes, and 10 minutes are
added, the engine 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 Remote Engine Start with an
extension, are allowed between ignition
cycles. The ignition switch must be cycled
to the ON position and then back to the
OFF position before the Remote Engine
Start procedure can be used again.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-29

ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
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 column will move up:∙ When the driver’s door is opened with the ignition switch in the OFF position.
∙ When the ignition switch is changed 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 changed from ACC or ON while the shif t lever is in
the P (Park) position.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or
canceled through “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
will 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 two times with the ignition switch
in the OFF position.
The entry/exit function should now work
properly.
SETTING MEMORY FUNCTION
The position of the following settings can
be linked to the Intelligent Key and the
memorized settings can be available for
each Intelligent Key. ∙ Climate control system
∙ Navigation system (if so equipped)
∙ Audio system
To use the memory function, set the cli-
mate, navigation and audio systems to the
driver’s preferred settings. Lock the doors
with the Intelligent Key. Each Intelligent Key
may be set with the driver’s individual pref- erences. When a new Intelligent Key is used,
“Connection with the key has been done”
will be displayed on the screen and the
memorized settings are available.
To engage the memorized settings, per-
form the following:
1. Carry the Intelligent Key that is linked to the memorized settings.
2. Unlock the doors by pushing the driv- er’s door handle request switch or
the
button on the Intelligent Key.
3. Place the ignition switch in the “ON” po- sition. The settings linked to the Intelli-
gent Key will start.

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-
