HEADLIGHT AIMING CONTROL
SWITCH (where fitted)
Depending on the number of occupants in the ve-
hicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight axis
may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is travel-
ling on a hilly road, the headlights may directly hit the
rear-view mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
screen of an oncoming vehicle. The light axis can be
lowered using the switch located on the driver’s
side of the instrument panel, next to the steering
wheel.
The higher the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.
When travelling with no heavy load on a flat road,
select position 0.
AUTOMATIC AIMING CONTROL
(xenon headlights)
Vehicles with xenon headlights are equipped with
an automatic levelling system. The headlight axis is
controlled automatically.

When you push the button or shift the
gear selector lever into the R (Reverse) position
while the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Around View Monitor operates. The monitor displays
various views of the position of the vehicle. NOTE
At first operation, the corner lines are blinking
yellow for about 3 seconds. This is not a malfunc-
tion but a reminder to be cautious.
Available views:
Bird’s-eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle.
Front-side View
The view around and ahead of the front passen-
ger’s side wheel.
Front view
The view to the front of the vehicle.
Rear view
The view to the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
situations such as slot parking or parallel parking.
WARNING
The Around View Monitor is intended for day
time use. Do not use the system in bad light
conditions.
The Around View Monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper vehicle
operation because it has areas where objects
cannot be viewed. Always visually check to be
sure that it is safe to move before operating
the vehicle. Always operate the vehicle slowly.

Predictive course lines
j6:
Indicate the predictive course when operating the
vehicle. The predictive course lines will be displayed
on the monitor when the steering wheel is turned.
The predictive course lines will move depending on
how much the steering wheel is turned and will not
be displayed while the steering wheel is in the neu-
tral position.
The front view will not be displayed when the vehicle
speed is above 10 km/h (6 MPH).
WARNING
The distance between objects viewed in the
rear view differs from actual distance because
a wide-angle lens is used. Objects in the rear
view will appear visually opposite than when
viewed in the rear view and outside mirrors.
On a snow-covered or slippery road, there
may be a difference between the predictive
course line and the actual course line.
If the battery is disconnected or becomes dis-
charged, the predictive course lines may be
displayed incorrectly. If this occurs visit a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
If predictive course lines are displayed incor-
rectly visit a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
The displayed lines on the rear view will ap-
pear slightly off to the right because the rear
view camera is not installed in the rear centre
of the vehicle.
NOTE
When the monitor displays the front view and the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or less
from the neutral position, both the right and left
predictive course lines
j6 are displayed. When
the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
more, a line is displayed only on the opposite
side of the turn.
Bird’s-eye view
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view of the
vehicle which helps to confirm the vehicle position.
The vehicle icon
j1 shows the position of the ve-
hicle.
NOTE
The size of the vehicle icon on the bird’s-eye
view may differ somewhat from the actual ve-
hicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover are indi-
cated in black.
At first operation, the corner lines
j2 on all four cor-
ners of the vehicle icon are blinking yellow for about
3 seconds. The four corners
j3 of the vehicle are
displayed in red.
NOTE
Corner lines
j2 blink (yellow) on all four corners
of the vehicle icon as a reminder to be cautious.
This is not a malfunction.
WARNING
Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear fur-
ther than the actual distance because the
bird’s-eye view is a pseudo view that is pro-
cessed by combining the views from the cam-
eras on the outside mirrors, the front and the
rear of the vehicle.NAA1236

The sensor
jA (next to the tweeter speaker) helps
the air conditioning system to maintain a constant
cabin temperature. Do not put anything on or around
this sensor and ensure that items nearby on the
windscreen do not shade it.
Operating tips
In order to improve the heater operation, clear
the snow and ice from the wiper blade and air
inlet in front of the windscreen.
When the engine coolant temperature and out-
side air temperature are low, the airflow from the
floor outlets may not operate for a maximum of
150 seconds. However, this is not a malfunction.
After the coolant temperature has warmed up,
the airflow from the floor outlets will operate nor-
mally.

The Stop/Start System is designed to prevent un-
necessary fuel consumption, exhaust emissions,
and noise during a journey:
When the vehicle comes to rest the engine is
automatically stopped*.
The engine is then automatically restarted before
you are ready to drive away**.
CAUTION
At the end of the journey the engine must be
stopped and ignition turned OFF. Lock the ve-
hicle as normal. Turning the ignition OFF will shut
down all electrical systems. Failure to do this may
result in a flat battery.
NORMAL OPERATION
The Stop/Start System has stopped the engine and
will automatically restart the engine. The Stop/Start
symbol
j1 is shown in the vehicle information dis-
play.
*The Stop/Start System will
automatically stop the engine when all
the following conditions are valid:
– The gearshift lever is in Neutral position.
– The clutch pedal is fully released.
– The vehicle speed is below about 2 km/h (1 MPH).
– The driver’s seat belt is buckled.
– The driver’s door is closed.
NOTE
The following conditions must also be satisfied
before the engine is automatically stopped. If the
engine does not stop this does not indicate a
fault with the system:
– The outside air temperature is above about 5ºC.
– The engine coolant temperature is at normal operating levels.
– The vehicle has driven some distance since engine start.
– The battery voltage and temperature are within normal levels.
– The vehicle bonnet is closed.
– The steering wheel is not being turned.
– The front and/or rear screen defoggers are turned OFF.
**When the Stop/Start System symbol
(1) is displayed the engine starts running
automatically under at least one of the
following conditions:
– The clutch pedal is depressed.
– The brake pedal is repeatedly pressed (to main-tain vehicle braking performance).
– The battery voltage becomes low (due to electri- cal load from other vehicle systems like head-
lights, heaters, etc., or auxiliary devices con-
nected to the 12 volt socket inside the vehicle).
– The front and/or rear screen defogger is turned on.
– The vehicle speed is above about 2 km/h (1 MPH).
NOTE
The following conditions will prevent the Stop/
Start System automatically restarting the engine.
Starting the engine by turning the ignition switch
is then necessary:
– The driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, or driver’s door is open.
– The bonnet is open.
The Stop/Start System is always engaged at the
start of a journey (once the engine has been started).
The engine is automatically stopped and restarted
during the journey if conditions are suitable

Depending on the driving conditions, the 4WD
mode may automatically change from 2WD to
4WD even when the 2WD mode is selected.
Do not start the engine while in the 2WD, AUTO,
or LOCK mode:
When on free-roller or jacking the front tyres
with the rear tyres on the ground.
When towing with the rear tyres raised from
the ground.
4WD SHIFT TIPS
If the 4WD mode control is operated while cor-
nering, accelerating or decelerating, or if the ig-
nition is turned OFF while in the AUTO or LOCK
position you may feel a jolt - this is normal.
The oil temperature of power train parts will in-
crease if the vehicle is continuously operated
under conditions where the difference in rotation
between the front and rear wheels is large (wheel
slip), such as when driving the vehicle on rough
roads through sand or mud, or when freeing a
stuck vehicle. In these cases, the 4WD warning
light blinks rapidly, and the 4WD mode changes
to the 2WD condition to protect the power train
parts. If you stop the vehicle, with the engine
idling, and wait until the warning light stops blink-
ing the 4WD mode returns to the AUTO mode.
Braking distance in 4WD mode is the same as in
2WD mode.
