WARNING
Super Lock system equipped models:
Failure to follow the precautions below may lead
to hazardous situations. Make sure the Super
Lock system activation is always conducted
safely.
When the vehicle is occupied, never lock the
doors with the integrated keyfob. Doing so
will trap the occupants, since the Super Lock
system prevents the doors from being opened
from the inside of the vehicle.
Only operate the integrated keyfob “LOCK”
button when there is a clear view of the ve-
hicle. This is to prevent anybody from being
trapped inside the vehicle through the Super
Lock system activation.
Pressing the “LOCK” button
on the integrated
keyfob or locking the doors using one of the outside
door lock switches (Intelligent Key models) will acti-
vate the Super Lock system.
When the Super Lock system is active, none of the
doors can be opened from inside the vehicle. This
provides additional security in case of theft or break-
in.
The Super Lock system will be released when all
the doors are unlocked using the integrated keyfob
or an outside door lock switch (Intelligent Key mod-
els).
Emergency situations
If the Super Lock system is activated while you are
inside the vehicle, for example by a traffic accident
or other unexpected circumstances, follow the in-
structions below.
To release the Super Lock system:
– Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the ON position.
All doors can now be unlocked and opened from
inside the vehicle.
– Remove the key from the ignition switch and un- lock the doors using the integrated keyfob “UN-
LOCK” button
.
All doors can now be opened from inside the
vehicle.
To unlock and open the driver’s door from
inside the vehicle while the Super Lock system
is active:
1. Open or break the driver’s door window.
2. Insert the key into the outside door key cylinder and turn it towards the rear of the vehicle.
3. The driver’s door will unlock and can now be opened from inside the vehicle.
Locking without activating the Super
Lock system
WARNING
Do not leave the key inside the vehicle when leav-
ing the vehicle.
Locking the doors using the door key cylinder or
power door lock switch will not activate the Super
Lock system. See “Power door lock switch” later in
this section for further information.
LOCKING/UNLOCKING WITH THE
KEY (vehicle dead battery)
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, do not leave the key
inside the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle
and always be sure you have your keys with
you when leaving. If an emergency occurs it
may be more difficult to help them otherwise.

properly closed to prevent it from opening
while driving.
Do not drive with the back door opened. This
could allow dangerous exhaust gases to be
drawn into the vehicle.
Closely supervise children when they are
around the vehicle to prevent them from play-
ing and being locked in the luggage compart-
ment where they could be seriously injured.
Keep the vehicle locked, with the back door
closed, when not in use, and prevent chil-
dren’s access to the vehicle’s keys.
The power door lock system allows you to lock or
unlock all doors including the back door.
The back door can be manually released from the outside, when the vehicle is not locked, by operat-
ing the microswitch
j1 located on the back door
underside.
NOTE
The back door cannot be opened from the out-
side when the power door lock switch is acti-
vated. An audible warning is heard when the

The direction of the air flow can be adjusted byjA
opening,jB closing orjC adjusting.
HIGH LEVEL VENT (where fitted)
Press thebutton to switch the mild air flow from
the upper vent on or off. Use the upper vent on hot
days to let cool air flow along the roof to the rear
passengers; and on cold days to improve the de-
frosting or defogging of the windows with warm air.
WARNING
Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. On hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly fatal inju-
ries to people or animals.
Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to be-
come stale and the windows to fog up. It is
recommended that you use the outside air
mode in cold weather to keep the windows
clear.
Do not adjust the positioning of the heating/
ventilation or air conditioning controls while
driving.
NOTE
Condensation forms inside the air condition-
ing unit when the air conditioner is running,
and is safely discharged underneath your ve-
hicle.
Traces of water on the ground are therefore
normal.
Models with Stop/Start System:
Whilst the engine is stopped by the Stop/Start
System, selecting airflow to the front defog-
ger or switching on the rear defogger will
cause the engine the be automatically re-
started. Whilst the engine is running, selecting airflow
to the front defogger or switching on the rear
defogger will prevent the Stop/Start System
automatically stopping the engine.
The Stop/Start System will prevent unneces-
sary fuel consumption and exhaust emis-
sions. When the engine is stopped by the
Stop/Start System heater and air conditioner
performance may be reduced. To keep full
heater and air conditioner performance, re-
start the engine by pressing the Stop/Start
System OFF switch, or by turning the ignition
switch.
For more information on the Stop/Start Sys-
tem, see “Stop/Start System (where fitted)”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section.

Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should also not be left
alone. They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent opera-
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could quickly
become high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
To prevent luggage or packages from sliding
forward during braking, do not stack anything
in the cargo area higher than the seatbacks.
Secure all cargo with ropes or straps to pre-
vent it from sliding or shifting.
Failure to follow proper seating instructions
see “Seats” in the “1. Safety — seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system” sec-
tion, could result in serious personal injury in
an accident or sudden stop.
EXHAUST GAS (Carbon Monoxide)
WARNING
Do not breathe exhaust gases; they contain
colourless and odourless carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas and can
cause unconsciousness or death.
If you suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing the vehicle, drive with all windows fully
open and have the vehicle inspected immedi-
ately.
Do not run the engine in closed spaces, such
as a garage, for any longer than is absolutely
necessary.
Do not park the vehicle with the engine run-
ning for any extended length of time.
Keep the back door closed while driving, oth-
erwise exhaust gases could be drawn into the
passenger compartment. If you must drive in
this way for some reason, take the following
steps:
1) Open all the windows.
2) Set the air recirculation mode (
)tothe
“OFF” position.
3) Set the fan speed control to the maximum position to circulate the air.
If electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass to a trailer through the seal of the
body, follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations to prevent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle.
When a vehicle has been stopped in an open
area with its engine running for any significant
length of time, turn the fan on to force outside
air into the vehicle.
The exhaust system and body should be in-
spected by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop whenever:
– the vehicle is raised for service.
– you suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-ing into the passenger compartment.
– you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
– you have had an accident involving dam- age to the exhaust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
AND DRIVING
Starting and driving5-3
Page 196 of 297

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The new set speed limit valuej9 will be displayed
in the combination meter display.
Cancelling a speed limit
To cancel a set speed limit, push the CANCEL
switchj3 . The SET indicatorj8 in the combination
meter will be turned off. The set speed valuej9 will
remain displayed.
It is also possible to override the speed limiter by
fully depressing the accelerator pedal beyond the
resistance point.
WARNING
The vehicle may accelerate when the speed
limiter cancels.
When additional floor mats are used, be sure
that they are correctly secured and that they
cannot interfere with the accelerator pedal.
Mats not adapted to the vehicle may prevent
proper operation of the speed limiter.
Fully depress the accelerator pedal beyond the re-
sistance point. The speed limiter will be suspended
to allow driving above the set speed. The set speed
value
j9 will flash. The speed limiter will automati-
cally resume when the vehicle speed drops below
the set speed limit.
Resuming a previous set speed
If a set speed limit has been cancelled, the set speed
valuej9 will remain displayed in the combination
meter and the speed will be stored in the speed lim-
iter memory. This speed limit can be reactivated by pressing the
RES (Resume) switch
j1 upwards.
If the current vehicle speed is higher than the previ-
ous set speed, the accelerator pedal will not work
and the set speed value
j9 will flash until the vehicle
speed drops below the set speed limit.
Turning the speed limiter off
The speed limiter system will be turned off when
one of the following operations is performed:
Push the speed limiter main “ON/OFF” switchj4 . The speed limiter symbolj7 , the LIMIT indi-
catorj6 , the SET indicatorj8 , and the set
speed valuej9 will turn off in the combination
meter display.
Push the cruise control main “ON/OFF” switchj5 . The speed limiter information in the combi-
nation meter will be replaced with the cruise con-
trol information. For details see “Cruise control
(where fitted)” earlier in this section.
When the vehicle is stopped and the ignition is
turned to the off position.
Turning off the speed limiter will erase the set
speed limit memory.
Speed limiter malfunction
If the speed limiter malfunctions, the set indicatorj8 in the combination meter display will flash.
Turn the speed limiter off by pushing the speed lim-
iter main “ON/OFF” switch
j4 and have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
WARNING
Do not park the vehicle over flammable mate-
rials, such as dry grass, waste paper, or rags.
They may ignite and cause a fire.
Safe parking procedures require that:
– The handbrake is applied.
– The gear lever is placed in an appropriate gear for manual transmission models.
– The selector lever is placed in the P (Park) position for automatic transmission or con-
tinuously variable transmission models.
Failure to follow the above recommenda-
tions could cause the vehicle to move un-
expectedly or roll away and result in an
accident.
Never leave the engine running while the ve-
hicle is unattended.
Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should also not be left
alone either. On hot, sunny days, tempera-
tures in a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe or possi-
bly fatal injuries to people or animals.
Manual transmission models:
Depress the clutch pedal and place the gear
lever in the R (Reverse) position. When parking
on an uphill gradient, place the gear lever in the
1st (Low gear) position.
PARKING
Starting and driving5-33
Page 201 of 297

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When leaving your vehicle unoccupied:
Always remove the ignition key or Intelligent Key
(where fitted) and take it with you – even in your
own garage.
Close all windows completely and lock all doors.
Always park your vehicle where it can be seen.
At night, park in a well lit area.
If the vehicle is equipped with an alarm or immo-
bilization device, use it – even for short periods.
Do not leave children and pets in the vehicle
unattended.
Do not leave valuables on view to tempt a thief.
Always take your valuables with you. If you must
leave something in your vehicle, lock it in the lug-
gage compartment or hide it out of sight.
Do not leave the vehicle documents in your ve-
hicle. In the unfortunate event of your vehicle
being stolen, the documents will only help a thief
to sell the vehicle.
Do not leave articles on a roof rack as they are
particularly vulnerable. If possible, remove them
from the rack and lock them inside the vehicle.
Do not leave the spare key or Intelligent Key in
the vehicle – keep it in a safe place at home.
Do not leave a note of your vehicle’s key number
in the vehicle. A thief may break into the vehicle,
note the key number and return with a new key
and drive the vehicle.
WARNING
If the Electrically Power Assisted Steering
warning light (EPAS) illuminates while driv-
ing, the power assist for steering will be dis-
abled. Greater steering efforts are required to
operate the steering wheel, especially in
sharp turns and at low speed. Stop the ve-
hicle as soon as safely possible and contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for fur-
ther assistance.
In certain circumstances, factors external to
the EPAS system may contribute to the illumi-
nation of the warning light. If the warning light
illuminates, stop the vehicle as soon as safely
possible if driving. Turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position and wait for approximately
20 seconds, then turn the ignition switch to
the ON position again. If the light remains illu-
minated, we recommend you to contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. See
“Warning/indicator lights and audible
reminders” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section for further details regarding
the EPAS warning light.
The EPAS (Electrically Power Assisted Steering)
system is designed to assist steering.
The steering may appear to feel slightly stiff follow-
ing parking manoeuvres including a great deal of
steering. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by a
control system designed to prevent the motor from overheating. No servicing is required. The EPAS
system will return to normal operation the next time
the vehicle is driven.
Similarly, the EPAS system may not provide full as-
sistance during periods of reduced battery voltage
but will recover once normal battery voltage is re-
stored.
If the EPAS warning light comes on while the engine
is running, it may indicate that the EPAS system is
not working properly. As result greater steering ef-
forts are required to steer the steering wheel, espe-
cially in sharp turns and at low speeds. Have the
system checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
NOTE
Incorrectly inflated tyres can lead to poor steer-
ing ability and make the driver suspect a steering
problem: keep the vehicle’s tyres inflated to the
correct pressure at all times.
CAUTION
Any malfunction or accident that could have dam-
aged the steering components (including actual
or attempted theft damage) should be reported
to a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
