be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a vari-
ety of reasons including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS indicator light after replacing one
or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tyres and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
•The TPMS does not monitor the tyre pressure of
the spare tyre.
•The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 25 km/h (16 MPH). Also,
this system may not detect a sudden drop in tyre
pressure (for example a flat tyre while driving).
•The TPMS indicator light may not automatically
turn off when the tyre pressure is adjusted.After
the tyre is inflated to the recommended COLD
tyre pressure, drive the vehicle at speeds above
25 km/h (16 MPH) to activate the TPMS. See
“TPMS sensor ID and position recognition” later
in this section
•Following a change in the outside temperature,
the TPMS indicator light may illuminate even if
the tyre pressure has been adjusted properly.
Adjust the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure again when the tyres are
cold, and reset the TPMS.
For additional information, see “[Check cold tyre]
message” later in this section.
WARNING
•If the TPMS indicator light illuminates while
driving:
– avoid sudden steering manoeuvres
– avoid abrupt braking
– reduce vehicle speed
– pull off the road to a safe location
– stop the vehicle as soon as possible
•Driving with under-inflated tyres may perma-
nently damage the tyres and increase the like-
lihood of tyre failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur which may lead to an accident
and could result in serious personal injury.
•Check the tyre pressure for all four tyres. Ad-
just the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure shown on the tyre plac-
ard to turn the TPMS indicator light “OFF”. In
case of a flat tyre, replace it with a spare tyre
as soon as possible. (See “Flat tyre” in the
“6. In case of emergency” section for chang-
ing a flat tyre.)
•When a spare tyre is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function and the
TPMS indicator light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain on after
1 minute. Be sure to follow all instructions for
wheel replacement and mount the TPMS sys-
tem correctly.
•Replacing tyres with those not originally speci-
fied by NISSAN could affect the proper opera-
tion of the TPMS.
•The Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tyre Repair
Sealant or equivalent can be used for tempo-
rarily repairing a tyre. Do not inject any other
tyre liquid or aerosol tyre sealant into the
tyres, as this may cause a malfunction of the
tyre pressure sensors.
•NISSAN recommends using only Genuine
NISSAN Emergency Tyre Sealant provided
with your vehicle. Other tyre sealants may
damage the valve stem seal which can cause
the tyre to lose air pressure. Visit a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop as soon as pos-
sible after using tyre repair sealant (for mod-
els equipped with the emergency tyre punc-
ture repair kit).
CAUTION
•The TPMS may not function properly when the
wheels are equipped with tyre chains or the
wheels are buried in snow.
•Do not place metalised film or any metal parts
(antenna, etc.) on the windows. This may
cause poor reception of the signals from the
tyre pressure sensors, and the TPMS will not
function properly.
Starting and driving5-5

Some devices and transmitters may tempo-
rarily interfere with the operation of the TPMS
and cause the TPMS indicator light to illumi-
nate. Some examples are:
– Facilities or electric devices using similar
radio frequencies are near the vehicle.
– If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is
being used in or near the vehicle.
– If a computer (or similar equipment) or a
DC/AC converter is being used in or near
the vehicle.
– If devices which transmit electrical noise
are connected to the vehicle’s 12V power
supply.
•When inflating the tyres and checking the tyre
pressure, never bend the valves.
•Special aluminium valves are fitted to mount
the TPMS sensors on the wheels. The TPMS
sensor is fixed at the wheels by a nut. The nut
needs to be correctly fitted at a torque setting
of 7.5 ± 0.5 N•m. If the TPMS sensor is tight-
ened exceeding the limit, there is a possibility
the sensor grommet will be damaged. If the
sensor is tightened under the limit, there is a
possibility of causing an air leak.
•Use Genuine NISSAN valve caps that comply
with the factory-fitted valve cap specifications.
•Do not use metal valve caps.
•Fit the valve caps properly. Without the valve
caps the valve and tyre pressure monitor sen-
sors could be damaged.
•Do not damage the valves and sensors when
storing the wheels or fitting different tyres.
•Replace the sensor grommet and washer dur-
ing a tyre change. Once they have been re-
moved, the sensor grommet and washer can-
not be reused and must be replaced. The
TPMS sensors can be used again.
•Use caution when using tyre inflation equip-
ment with a rigid air supply tube, as leverage
applied by the long nozzle can damage the
valve stem.

4WD MODE OPERATIONSCAUTION
Depending on the driving conditions, the 4WD
mode may automatically change from 2WD to
4WD even when the 2WD mode is selected.
If this occurs while driving, the 4WD mode indi-
cator light will not illuminate.
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 message [4WD
High Temp. Stop Vehicle] will appear in the ve-
hicle information display and the 4WD mode
changes to the 2WD condition to protect the
power train parts. If you stop the vehicle, with

sage is no longer displayed, the 4WD mode re-
turns to the AUTO mode.
•Braking distance in 4WD mode is the same as in
2WD mode.
•Even if the mode automatically changes to AUTO
mode, when driving in the LOCK mode, the indi-
cator light stays in the LOCK mode.
CAUTION
•Only use the 4WD mode control when driving
in a straight direction (to select 2WD, AUTO or
LOCK).
•Do not use the 4WD mode control when turn-
ing or reversing.
•Do not use the 4WD mode control with the
front wheels spinning (to select 2WD, AUTO,
or LOCK).
•Be especially careful when starting or driving
on slippery surfaces with the 4WD mode set
to AUTO.
•Never drive on dry hard surface roads in the
LOCK position as this will overload the power
train and may cause serious malfunctions.
4WD MODE INDICATOR LIGHTS
•4WD mode indicator light (LOCK):
This light comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, and turns off within 1
second. When selecting LOCK mode while theengine is running, this light will illuminate simul-
taneously along with the 4WD mode indicator
light (AUTO).
•4WD mode indicator light (AUTO):
This light comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, and turns off within 1
second. If the engine is running, this light will illu-
minate when selecting AUTO mode.
The 4WD mode indicator light is located in the
instrument panel.
The light should turn off within 1 second of the
ignition switch being turned to the ON position.
While the engine is running, the 4WD mode indi-
cator light will display the position selected by
the 4WD mode control.
NOTE
The 4WD mode indicator light may blink while
shifting from one drive mode to another. Once
shifting is completed, the 4WD mode indicator
light will come on. If the indicator light does not
come on immediately, make sure that the area
around the vehicle is safe and free from ob-
stacles. Drive the vehicle straight (DO NOT ac-
celerate, decelerate or reverse), then turn the
4WD mode control.
If the 4WD warning lights comes on, the 4WD indi-
cator light(s) will go out.
DRIVING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
SAFELY
Your NISSAN is designed for both normal and off-
road use. However, avoid driving in deep water or
mud as your NISSAN is mainly designed for leisure
use, unlike a conventional off-road vehicle.
Remember that Two-Wheel drive (2WD) models are
less capable than Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) models
for rough road driving and extrication when stuck,
for example, in deep snow or mud.
Please observe the following precautions:
•Drive carefully when off-road and avoid danger-
ous areas. Always wear seat belts to help keep
you and your passengers in position when driv-
ing over rough terrain.
•Do not drive across steep slopes. Instead drive
either straight up or straight down the slope. Off-
road vehicles can tip over sideways much more
easily than they can forwards or backwards.
•Many hills are too steep for any vehicle. If you
drive up them, you may stall. If you drive down
them, you may not be able to control your speed.
If you drive across them, you may roll over.
•Do not shift gears when driving on downhill
grades as this could cause loss of control of the
vehicle.
•Stay alert when driving to the top of a hill. At the
top there could be a drop-off or other hazard that
could cause an accident.

mirrors) will illuminate. If the turn signal is then acti-
vated, the system chimes (twice) and the Blind spot
indicator light will start flashing bright orange to alert
you to the presence of vehicle(s) in the adjacent
lane.
The Blind spot indicator light continues to flash until
the detected vehicle(s) leave the detection zone.
Detection zone
The camera unit can detect vehicles on either side
of your vehicle when part of another vehicle is within
the detection zone shown as illustrated.
This detection zone typically starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approximately 3
m (10 ft) behind the rear bumper, and approximately
3 m (10 ft) sideways.
The brightness of the Blind Spot Indicator lights is
adjusted automatically depending on the brightness
of the ambient light.
A chime sounds if the camera unit has already de-
tected vehicles when the driver activates the turnsignal. If a vehicle comes into the detection zone
after the driver activates the turn signal, then only
the Blind Spot Indicator light flashes and no chime
sounds. (See “BSW driving situations” later in this
section.)
Turning the BSW system on or off
Turning the BSW system on or off is done using the
[Settings] menu in the vehicle information display.
For details. see “Vehicle information display” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section.
In the [Settings] menu, select the [Driver Assistance]
key. Then select [Driving Aids]. Select [Blind Spot
Warning] key by pressing. A tick mark
next to [Blind Spot Warning] indicates that the sys-
tem is turned on.
SYSTEM ON:
The BSW light on the vehicle information display will
light up.
SYSTEM OFF:
The BSW light on the vehicle information display will
turn off.
WARNING
•The camera unit may not be able to detect
when certain objects are present such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height
vehicles, or high ground clearance
vehicles.
– Oncoming vehicles.– A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
(See “BSW driving situations” later in this
section.)
– A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rap-
idly. (See “BSW driving situations” later in
this section.)
– A vehicle that merges or changes lanes
rapidly directly next to your vehicle.
•The camera unit may not be able to detect
properly when your vehicle travels beside the
middle section of a vehicle with long wheel-
base (for example, trailer truck, semi-trailer,
tractor).
•The camera detection zone is designed based
on a standard lane width. When driving in a
wider lane, the camera unit may not detect
vehicles in an adjacent lane. When driving in a
narrow lane, the camera unit may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
•The camera unit is designed to ignore most
stationary objects, however objects such as
guardrails, walls, foliage and parked vehicles
may occasionally be detected. This is a nor-
mal operating condition.
•The camera unit may detect the reflected im-
age of vehicles or roadside objects that are
not actually in the detection zone, especially
when the road is wet.
