NISSAN PATHFINDER 2022 Owner´s Manual

When the SNOW mode is selected, small
vibration in cornering may occur. This is not
a malfunction.
Push or turn the Drive Mode Selector
switch to the SNOW position. “SNOW ” ap-
pears in the vehicle information display.
TOW MODE
Using the tow mode is recommended
when pulling a heavy trailer or hauling a
heavy load.
The Idling Stop System is disabled when
the vehicle is in TOW mode.
Push or turn the Drive Mode Selector
switch to the TOW position. “TOW ” appears
in the vehicle information display.
MUD/RUT MODE (4WD models
only)
This mode allows for easier driving or start-
ing on a bumpy road surface such as an
uneven dirt road or a steep uphill slope or
through sand.
CAUTION
Never drive on dry, hard surface roads
in the MUD/RUT mode, as this will over-
load the powertrain and may cause a
serious malfunction. Additionally, this
will cause premature tire wear and re-
duced fuel economy.
NOTE:
When the MUD/RUT mode is selected,
small tight-corner braking phenomenon
or small vibration in cornering may oc-
cur. This is not a malfunction
Turn the Drive Mode Selector switch to the
MUD/RUT position. “MUD/RUT” appears in
the vehicle information display.
SAND MODE (4WD models only)
This mode allows for easier driving or start-
ing on a bumpy road surface such as an
uneven dirt road or a steep uphill slope or
through sand.
CAUTION
Never drive on dry, hard surface roads
in the SAND mode, as this will overload
the powertrain and may cause a seri-
ous malfunction. Additionally, this will
cause premature tire wear and reduced
fuel economy.
NOTE:
When the SAND mode is selected, small
tight-corner braking phenomenon or
small vibration in cornering may occur.
This is not a malfunction
Turn the Drive Mode Selector switch to the
SAND position. “SAND” appears in the ve-
hicle information display.
ECO MODE
Assists the driver’s ECO-driving. The engine
points are adjusted for improved fuel
economy, providing such driving features
as smooth starting or constant cruising.
NOTE:
Selecting this ECO mode will not necessar-
ily improve fuel economy as many driving
factors influence its effectiveness.
5-30Starting and driving

Operation
Select the ECO mode using the Drive Mode
Selector. The ECO indicator illuminates.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
within the range of economy drive, the ECO
drive indicator illuminates in green. When
the accelerator pedal is depressed above
the range of economy drive, the ECO drive
indicator turns off.
The ECO drive indicator will not illuminate
in the following cases:
• When the shif t lever is in the R (Reverse)position.
• When the vehicle speed is below 2 mph (3.2 km/h) or over 90 mph (144 km/h).
• When the Cruise Control (if so equipped) or Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system
(if so equipped) is operated.
ECO Customize
The “ECO Customize” is a function that can
change the priority from the Cruise Control
(if so equipped) or Intelligent Cruise Control
(ICC) (if so equipped) to fuel efficiency im-
provements. It can be set when the ECO
mode is selected. To activate or deactivate
this function, see “ECO Mode Setting”
(P. 2-28) or (P. 2-52).
• Cruise Control
When the setting is ON, the fuel efficiency
while cruising will be improved by lower-
ing acceleration target from normal
(setting OFF) mode.
NOTE:
When the vehicle speed is reduced (for
example, when the vehicle is driven on
an uphill road from a flat road), it will take
more time to return to the previously set
speed than normal mode.
Tire Pres ECO advice
The “Tire Pres ECO advice” is a function to
show ECO advice information in the vehicle
information display when low tire pressure
is detected. To activate or deactivate this
function, see “ECO Mode Setting” (P. 2-28) or
(P. 2-52).
When the setting is on, the ECO Drive Re-
port display shows “See Tire Pressures”. You
can switch the display to the Tire Pressures
display by selecting it in the vehicle infor-
mation display.

The TSR system provides the driver with
information about the most recently de-
tected speed limit. The system captures
the road sign information with the multi-
sensing front camera unit
OAlocated on
the windshield in front of the inside rear-
view mirror and displays the detected
signs in the vehicle information display. For
vehicles equipped with a navigation sys-
tem, the speed limit displayed is based on a
combination of navigation system data
and live camera recognition. TSR informa-
tion is always displayed at the top of the vehicle information display, and optionally
in the main central area of the display
screen.
WARNING
The TSR system is only intended to be a
support device to help provide the
driver with information. It is not a re-
placement for the driver’s attention to
traffic conditions or responsibility to
drive safely. It cannot prevent acci-
dents due to carelessness. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility to stay alert and
drive safely at all times.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system
displays the following types of road signs:
CAUTION
• The TSR system is intended as an aid
to careful driving. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
and observe all road regulations that
currently apply, including looking out
for road signs.

TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION (TSR)
(if so equipped)
5-32Starting and driving

•The TSR system may not function
properly under the following
conditions:
– When the road sign is not clearly
visible, for example, due to dam-
age or weather conditions.
– When rain, snow or dirt adheres to
the windshield in front of the
multi-sensing camera unit.
– When the headlights are not
bright, for example, due to dirt on
the lens or if the aiming is not ad-
justed properly. –
When strong light enters the cam-
era unit. (For example, the light di-
rectly shines on the front of the
vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
– When a sudden change in bright-
ness occurs. (For example, when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.)
– If there are deviations in relation
to the navigation, for example due
to changes in the road routing.
– When overtaking buses or trucks
with speed stickers.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 104°F [40°C]) and then
started, the TSR system may be deacti-
vated automatically. The “Unavailable: High
Cabin Temperature” warning message will
appear in the vehicle information display.
Action to take:
When the interior temperature is reduced,
the TSR system will resume operating
automatically.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the TSR system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically and the system
“Malfunction” warning message will appear
in the vehicle information display.
Action to take:
If the TSR “Malfunction” message appears,
pull off the road at a safe location and stop
the vehicle. Turn the engine off and restart
the engine. If the TSR “Malfunction” mes-
sage continues to appear, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The TSR system uses the same multi-
sensing front camera unit that is used by
the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system,
located in front of the interior rearview mir-
ror. For additional information, see ”System
maintenance” (P. 5-41).

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the LDW
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• This system is only a warning device
to inform the driver of a potential un-
intended lane departure. It will not
steer the vehicle or prevent loss of
control. It is the driver’s responsibility
to stay alert, drive safely, keep the
vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times. The LDW system will operate when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds of approximately
37 mph (60 km/h) and above, and only
when the lane markings are clearly visible
on the road.
The LDW system monitors the lane mark-
ers on the traveling lane using the camera
unit
OAlocated above the inside mirror.
The LDW system warns the driver that the
vehicle is beginning to leave the driving
lane with an indicator and a steering wheel
vibration. For additional information, see
“LDW system operation” (P. 5-36).

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
Starting and driving5-35

LDW SYSTEM OPERATION
The LDW system provides a lane departure
warning function when the vehicle is driven
at speeds of approximately 37 mph (60
km/h) and above and the lane markings
are clear. When the vehicle approaches ei-
ther the lef t or the right side of the traveling
lane, the steering wheel will vibrate and the
LDW indicator on the instrument panel will
blink to alert the driver.
The warning function will stop when the
vehicle returns inside of the lane markers.
