NOTE
Diesel models with diesel engines make use of
an Oil Condition Supervisor (OCS) function.
Petrol engines have a basic service reminder.
1. Use the
orbuttons to select [Settings], and
press ENTER.
2. Select [Maintenance], followed by [Service] us-
ing the
orand ENTER switches. In the
[Service] menu, use theorbuttons to navi-
gate between the menu options and press
ENTER to set or reset the distance for changing
the engine oil.
3. (Diesel models only) Select [Maintenance], fol-
lowed by [Filter] using the
orand ENTER
switches. In the [Filter] menu, use theorbuttons to navigate between the menu options
and press ENTER to set or reset the distance for
draining the diesel fuel filter.
For scheduled maintenance items and intervals, see
your NISSAN Service and Maintenance Guide.
2. Tyre replacement indicator:
This indicator appears when the customer set dis-
tance comes for replacing tyres. You can set or
reset the distance for replacing tyres.
1. Use the
orbuttons to select [Settings], and
press ENTER.
2. Select [Maintenance], followed by [Tyre] using
the
orand ENTER switches. In the [Tyre]menu, use the
orbuttons to navigate be-
tween the menu options and press ENTER to set
or reset the distance for replacing tyres.
WARNING
The tyre replacement indicator is not a substitute
for regular tyre checks, including tyre pressure
checks. See “Wheels and tyres” in the “8. Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section. Many factors
including tyre inflation, alignment, driving habits
and road conditions affect tyre wear and when
tyres should be replaced. Setting the tyre re-
placement indicator for a certain driving distance
does not mean your tyres will last that long. Use
the tyre replacement indicator as a guide only
and always perform regular tyre checks. Failure
to perform regular tyre checks, including tyre
pressure checks could result in tyre failure. Seri-
ous vehicle damage could occur and may lead to
a collision, which could result in serious personal
injury or death.
3. Other indicator:
This indicator appears when the customer set time
comes for replacing items other than the engine oil,
fuel filter and tyres. You can set or reset the dis-
tance for replacing the items.
[Alert]
You can specify that an alert occurs to notify the
driver that a certain event has occurred. You can set
alerts for the following items:
•[Timer]
•[Navigation] (where fitted)
•[Phone]
•[Mail] (where fitted)
To set an alert:
1. Use the
orbuttons to select the item re-
quired, and press ENTER.
2. For [Phone], [Navigation] or [Mail] use the
ENTER button to toggle between YES and NO.
For the [Timer], to change the timer value, use
the
orbuttons and the ENTER button to
save the selected length of time.
[Tyre pressures]
The settings in the Tyre pressures] menu are all
related to the Tyre pressure monitoring system
TPMS (see “Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” in the “5. Starting and driving” section).

fied for the front tyres on the tyre placard (see “Tyre
placard” in the “9. Technical information” section
and “Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section).

check the oil level. See “Engine oil” in the “8. Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section.)
CAUTION
The oil level should be checked regularly using
the engine oil dipstick. Operating with an insuffi-
cient amount of oil can damage the engine and
such damage is not covered by the warranty.
18. [Oil Level Low] warning
This warning appears in message area of the ve-
hicle information display if the oil level is not suffi-
cient for driving. Park the vehicle at a safe location
as soon as possible and use the dipstick to check
the oil level. See “Engine oil” in the “8. Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section If the oil level is not suf-
ficient for driving, top up the engine oil with the rec-
ommended engine oil. “Engine oil” in the “8. Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section.)

CAUTION
•The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system is
intended as an aid to careful driving. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, and observe all road regulations that
currently apply, including looking out for road
signs.
•The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system
may not function properly under the following
conditions:
•When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the
windscreen in front of the TSR camera unit.
•When the headlights are not bright due to
dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not ad-
justed properly.
•When strong light enters the camera unit.
(For example, the light directly shines on
the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sun-
set.)
•When a sudden change in brightness oc-
curs. (For example, when the vehicle en-
ters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
•In areas not covered by the navigation sys-
tem.
•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.
Turning the TSR system on and off
Turning the LDW system on or of is done using the
[Settings] menu in the vehicle information display.
For details, see “Vehicle information display” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section.
Perform the following steps to enable or disable the
TSR system:
1. In the [Settings] menu, select the [Driver Assis-
tance] key.
2. Touch [Traffic Sign] to turn the system ON/OFF.
System temporarily unavailable
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under high
temperature conditions (over approximately 40 C
(104 F) and then started, the TSR system may be
deactivated automatically. The [Not available 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]/[System
error] warning message will appear in the vehicle
information display.
Action to take:
If the TSR [Malfunction]/[System error] message
appears, pull off the road at a safe location and stop
the vehicle. Turn the engine off and restart the en-
gine. If the TSR [Malfunction]/[System error] mes-
sage continues to appear, have the system checked
by a NISSAN dealer.
Maintenance
The TSR uses the same multi-sensing front camera
unit that is used by the Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) system, located in front of the interior rear
view mirror. For maintenance of the camera, see
“Multi-sensing camera unit maintenance” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.

CAUTION
•Do not use the seat heater system for a long
period of time when the engine is not running,
otherwise the battery could run down.
•Do not put anything on the seat that insulates
the heat, such as a blanket, cushion, seat
cover, etc. Otherwise, the seat may overheat.
•Do not place anything hard or heavy on the
seat or pierce it with a pin or similar object.
This may damage the heater.
•Any liquid spilled on a heated seat should be
removed immediately with a dry cloth.
