NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (NATS)
The NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS)* will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the reg-
istered NATS key.
* Immobilizer
If the engine fails to start using the registered NATS
key, it may be due to interference from another
NATS key, an automated toll road device or an auto-
mated payment device on the key ring. Restart the
engine using the following procedure:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position for
approximately 5 seconds.2. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” or LOCK
position and wait approximately 5 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device
(which may have caused the interference) sepa-
rated from the registered NATS key or NATS
Intelligent Key (where fitted).
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
NISSAN recommends placing the registered
NATS key or NATS Intelligent Key (where fitted)
on a separate key-ring to avoid interference from
other devices.

PARKING BRAKE SWITCH
3-16Pre-driving checks and adjustments

•A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is driven
without releasing the parking brake. See “Au-
dible reminders” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section.
•While the electric parking brake is applied or
released, an operating sound is heard from
the lower side of the rear seat. This is normal
and does not indicate a malfunction.
•When the electric parking brake is frequently
applied and released in a short period of time,
the parking brake may not operate in order to
prevent the parking brake system from over-
heating. If this occurs, operate the electric
parking brake switch again after waiting ap-
proximately 1 minute.
•The electric parking brake can only be re-
leased with the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion.
•If the electric parking brake must be applied
while driving in an emergency, pull up and
hold the parking brake switch. When you re-
lease the parking brake switch, the parking
brake will be released.
•While pulling up the electric parking brake
switch while driving, the parking brake is ap-
plied and a chime sounds. The parking brake
indicator light in the meter and in the parking
brake switch illuminate. This does not indi-
cate a malfunction. The electric parking brake
indicator lights in the meter and in the parking
brake switch turn off when the parking brake
is released.
•Pull up the electric parking brake switch twice
so that the maximum electric parking brake
force is applied to the vehicle.
•When pulling the electric parking brake switch
up with the ignition switch in the OFF or ACC
position, the parking brake switch indicator
light will continue to illuminate for a short pe-
riod of time.
CAUTION
To park the vehicle in cold climates place the
shift lever in 1st (1) or Reverse (R) (or in Park (P)
for automatic (AT) vehicles), and place suitable
chocks at both the front and back of a wheel with
the electric parking brake released. If the electric
parking brake is applied in cold climates, the
brake may become frozen and cannot be re-
leased.
DRIVING AWAY WHEN TOWING A
TRAILER
Please note the following points to prevent the ve-
hicle from rolling back unintentionally on a gradient.
•Pull and hold the parking brake switch and press
the accelerator. The parking brake will remain
engaged and prevent any tendency to roll back
down the slope.
•You can release the parking brake switch as
soon as the engine is delivering enough power
to the wheels.
Depending on the weight of the vehicle and trailer
and the steepness of the slope, there may be a ten-dency to roll back downhill when driving away from
a standstill. You can prevent this by pulling up the
parking brake switch as you press the accelerator
(in the same way as with a conventional handbrake).

m:This symbol indicates that the vents are
closed. Moving the side control to this
position will close the vents.
Adjust the air flow direction of the vents by mov-
ing the centre knob (up/down, left/right) until the
desired position is achieved.
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 will cause the engine to be automatically
restarted.Whilst the engine is running, selecting airflow
to the front defogger will prevent the Stop/
Start System automatically stopping the en-
gine.
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.
•Odours from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up inside the air conditioner unit
and it can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
•When parking, set the air recirculation mode
to off to allow fresh air flowing into the pas-
senger compartment. This should help reduc-
ing the odours inside the vehicle.
