High beam assist operations:
To activate the high beam assist system, turn the
headlight switch to the AUTO position
*1and
push the lever forward
*2(high beam position) .
The high beam assist indicator light in the meter
will illuminate while the headlights are turned on.
If the high beam assist indicator light does not
illuminate in the above condition, it may indicate
that the system is not functioning properly. It is
recommended you have the system checked by
a NISSAN dealer.
When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 13 MPH (20 km/h) , the headlight
remains the low beam.To turn off the high beam assist system, turn the
headlight switch to the
position or select
the low beam position by placing the lever in the
neutral position.

Ambient image sensor maintenance:
The ambient image sensor
*Afor the high
beam assist system is located in front of the
inside mirror. To keep the proper operation of
the high beam assist system and prevent a
system malfunction, be sure to observe the
following:
.Always keep the windshield clean.
.Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near the
ambient image sensor.
.Do not strike or damage the areas around
the ambient image sensor. Do not touch the
sensor lens that is located on the ambient
image sensor.

OPERATING TIPS (for automatic air
conditioner)
When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate for a
maximum of 150 seconds. However, this is not a
malfunction. After the coolant temperature
warms up, air flow from the foot outlets will
operate normally.
The sensors
*1and*2, located on the
instrument panel, help maintain a constant
temperature. Do not put anything on or around
the sensors.
SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid personal injury, any air condi-
tioner service should be done only by
an experienced technician with the
proper equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’sozone layer.However, it may contribute in a
small part to global warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your vehicle’s air con-
ditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubri-
cants will cause severe damage to the air
conditioner system. (See “Air conditioning sys-
tem refrigerant and lubricant recommendations”
(P.10-6) .)
A NISSAN dealer will be able to service your
environmentally friendly air conditioner system.
In-cabin microfilter
The air conditioner system is equipped with an
in-cabin microfilter. To make sure the air condi-
tioner heats, defogs, and ventilates efficiently,
replace the filter according the specified main-
tenance intervals listed in the "9. Maintenance
and schedules" section. It is recommended to
visit a NISSAN dealer to replace the filter.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog up
easily when operating the heater or air condi-
tioner.

THREE-WAY CATALYST
The three-way catalyst is an emission control
device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust
gases in the three-way catalyst are burned at
high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.
WARNING
.The exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep people,
animals and flammable materials
away from the exhaust system com-
ponents.
.Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, wastepaper or rags. They
may ignite and cause a fire.
CAUTION
.Do not use leaded gasoline. Depos-
its from leaded gasoline will ser-
iously reduce the three-way
catalyst’s ability to help reduce ex-
haust pollutants.
.Keep your engine tuned up. Mal-
functions in the ignition, fuel injec-tion, or electrical systems can cause
overrich fuel flow into the three-way
catalyst, causing it to overheat. Do
not keep driving if the engine mis-
fires, or if noticeable loss of perfor-
mance or other unusual operating
conditions are detected. Have the
vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
.Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, dama-
ging the three-way catalyst.
.Do not race the engine while warm-
ing it up.
.Do not push or tow your vehicle to
start the engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided) ,
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine the propertire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
