WARNING
To avoid risk of injury or death, do not
use the remote engine start function
when the vehicle is in an enclosed area
such as a garage.
JVP0446X
The remote engine startbutton is on the
Intelligent Key if the vehicle has remote engine
start function. This function allows the engine to
start from outside the vehicle.
Some systems, such as the air conditioner
system, will turn on during a remote start, if the
system was on the last time the ignition switch
was turned off.
Laws in some local communities may restrict the
use of remote starters. For example, some laws
require a person using remote start to have the
vehicle in view. Check local regulations for any
requirements.
Other conditions may affect the remote engine
start function. See “Conditions the remoteengine start will not work” (P.3-23) .
Other conditions can affect the performance of
the Intelligent Key transmitter. See “Intelligent
Key system” (P.3-11) for additional information.
REMOTE ENGINE START OPERATING
RANGE
The remote engine start function can only be
used when the Intelligent Key is within the
specified operating range from the vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged or
other strong radio wave sources are present
near the operating location, the Intelligent Key
operating range becomes narrower, and the
Intelligent Key may not function properly.
The remote engine start operating range is
approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.
REMOTE STARTING THE ENGINE
To use the remote start function to start the
engine, perform the following:
1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
2. Push the LOCK
button to lock all doors.
3. Within 5 seconds push and hold the remote
engine start
button until the turn signal
lights flash and the tail lights illuminate. If the
vehicle is not within view, push and hold the
remote engine start
button for at least 2
seconds.
REMOTE ENGINE START (if so
equipped)

The following events will occur when the engine
starts:
.The front parking lights will turn on and
remain on as long as the engine is running.
.The doors will be locked and the air
conditioner system may turn on.
.The engine will continue to run for about 10
minutes. Repeat the steps to extend the time
for an additional 10 minutes. See “Extending
engine run time” (P.3-23) .
Depress and hold the brake pedal, then place
the ignition switch in the ON position before
driving. For further instructions, see “Driving the
vehicle” (P.5-20) .
EXTENDING ENGINE RUN TIME
The remote engine start function can be
extended one time by performing the steps
listed in “Remote starting the engine” (P.3-22) .
Run time will be calculated as follows:
.The first 10 minute run time will start when
the remote engine start function is per-
formed.
.The second 10 minutes will start immedi-
ately when the remote engine start function
is performed. For example, if the engine has
been running for 5 minutes, and 10 minutes
are added, the engine will run for a total of
15 minutes..Extending engine run time will count to-
wards the two remote start limit.
A maximum of two remote starts, or a single start
with an extension, are allowed between ignition
cycles.
The ignition switch must be cycled to the ON
position and then back to the OFF position
before the remote engine start procedure can be
used again.
CANCELING A REMOTE START
To cancel a remote start, perform one of the
following:
.Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle and
push and hold the remote engine start
button until the front parking lights turn off.
.Turn on the hazard indicator flashers.
.Cycle the ignition switch ON and then OFF.
.The extended engine run time has expired.
.The first 10 minute timer has expired.
.The engine hood has been opened.
.The shift lever is moved out of the P (Park)
position.
.The theft alarm sounds due to illegal entry
into the vehicle.
.The ignition switch is pushed without an
Intelligent Key in the vehicle..The ignition switch is pushed with an
Intelligent Key in the vehicle but the brake
pedal is not depressed.

WARNING
.Gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive under certain
conditions. You could be burned or
seriously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop engine
and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refueling.
.Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued
refueling may cause fuel overflow,
resulting in fuel spray and possibly
a fire.
.Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It
has a built-in safety valve needed
for proper operation of the fuel
system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a
serious malfunction and possible
injury. It could also cause the mal-
function indicator light to come on.
.Never pour fuel into the throttle
body to attempt to start your vehi-
cle..Do not fill a portable fuel container
in the vehicle or trailer. Static elec-
tricity can cause an explosion of
flammable liquid, vapor or gas in
any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death when
filling portable fuel containers:
— Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices
when filling.
— Keep the pump nozzle in contact
with the container while you are
filling it.
— Use only approved portable fuel
containers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
.If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage.
.Insert the cap straight into the fuel-
filler tube, then tighten until the
fuel-filler cap clicks. Failure to tight-
en the fuel-filler cap properly maycause the
malfunction indicator
light (MIL) to illuminate. If the
light illuminates because the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten
or install the cap and continue to
drive the vehicle. The
light
should turn off after a few driving
trips. If the
light does not turn
off after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
For additional information, see
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
(P.2-16) .
.The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning
message will be displayed if the
fuel-filler cap is not properly tigh-
tened. It may take a few driving trips
for the message to be displayed.
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly after the LOOSE FUEL CAP
warning message is displayed may
cause the
Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) to illuminate.

5-6Starting and driving
malfunction exists. When the malfunction indi-
cator is illuminated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
Additional information
.Since the spare tire is not equipped with the
TPMS, the TPMS does not monitor the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
.The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25 km/h) . Also, this system may not detect
a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a
flat tire while driving) .
.The low tire pressure warning light does not
automatically turn off when the tire pressure
is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the
recommended pressure, the vehicle must be
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h)
to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire
pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure
gauge to check the tire pressure..The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
appears in the vehicle information display
when the low tire pressure warning light is
illuminated and low tire pressure is detected.
The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
turns off when the low tire pressure warning
light turns off.
The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
does not appear if the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates to indicate a TPMS
malfunction.
.Tire pressure rises and falls depending on
the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation
and the outside temperature. Do not reduce
the tire pressure after driving because the
tire pressure rises after driving. Low outside
temperature can lower the temperature of
the air inside the tire which can cause a
lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause
the low tire pressure warning light to
illuminate. If the warning light illuminates in
low ambient temperature, check the tire
pressure for all four tires.
For additional information, see “Low tire pres-
sure warning light” (P.2-13) and “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.6-3) .
WARNING
.If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull
off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possi-
ble. Driving with under-inflated tires
may permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire
failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in serious
personal injury. Check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD
tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire as soon as possi-
ble. (See“Flat tire”(P.6-3) for chan-
ging a flat tire.)
.Since the spare tire is not equipped
with the TPMS, when a spare tire is
mounted or a wheel is replaced, the
TPMS will not function and the low
tire pressure warning light will flash

for approximately 1 minute. The
light will remain on after 1 minute.
Have your tires replaced and/or
TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for these
services.
.Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
.Do not inject any tire liquid or
aerosol tire sealant into the tires,
as this may cause a malfunction of
the tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION
.The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried
in snow.
.Do not place metalized film or any
metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the
windows. This may cause poor re-
ception of the signals from the tire
pressure sensors, and the TPMS willnot function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may temporarily
interfere with the operation of the TPMS and
cause the low tire pressure warning light to
illuminate. 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.
Low tire pressure warning light may illuminate in
the following cases.
.If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel and
tire without TPMS.
.If the TPMS has been replaced and the ID
has not been registered.
.If the wheel is not originally specified by
NISSAN.
