CLOCK AND OUTSIDE AIR TEM-
PERATURE
The clockand outside air temperatureare displayed on the upper side of the
vehicle information display.
Clock
For clock adjustment, see “Clock” (P.2-22)
or the separate NissanConnect® Owner’s
Manual (if so equipped).
Outside air temperature (°F or °C)
The outside air temperature is displayed
in °F or °C in the range of −40 to 140°F (−40
to 60°C).
The outside air temperature mode in-
cludes a low temperature warning fea-
ture. If the outside air temperature is
below 37°F (3°C), the warning
is dis-
played (if so equipped).
The outside temperature sensor is lo-
cated in front of the radiator. The sensor
may be affected by road or engine heat,
wind directions and other driving condi-
tions. The display may differ from the
actual outside temperature or the tem-
perature displayed on various signs or
billboards.
INTELLIGENT DRIVER ALERTNESS (if
so equipped)
The "Driver Attention" option can be used
to activate or deactivate the Driver Atten-
tion Support feature. This system is able
to detect whether the driver is displaying
a lack of attention, or driver fatigue.
It does this by monitoring driving style,
and steering behavior, and it notes devia-
tions from the normal pattern. If the
system detects that driver attention is
decreasing, the system uses an audible
and visual warning to suggest that the
driver take a break.

WARNING
This system is not designed to assist
driving impaired due to fatigue, or
other causes. Be attentive at all
times, and avoid driving when tired.
Failure to do so could cause you to
lose control of the vehicle, resulting
in a serious accident.
WAC0212X
System operation
If the system detects that driver attention
is decreasing, the message “Take a
break?” appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display and a buzzer sounds when
the vehicle is driven at speeds above 37
MPH (60 km/h).

malfunctions, the system warning mes-
sage will appear in the vehicle informa-
tion display and the function will be
stopped automatically.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, and
then turn off and restart the engine. If the

NISSAN dealer.
WAC0198X
TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION (if so
equipped)
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system
provides the driver with information
about the most recently detected speed
limit. The system captures the road sign
information with the multi-sensing front
camera unit
located on the windshield
in front of the inside rearview mirror and
displays the detected signs in the vehicle
information display. For vehicles
equipped with Navigation System, the
speed limit displayed is based on a
combination of Navigation System data
and live camera recognition. TSR informa-
tion is always displayed at the top of the vehicle information display, and option-
ally in the main central area of the display
screen.
WARNING
The TSR system is only intended to
be a support device to provide the
driver with information. It is not a
replacement for the driver’s atten-
tion to traffic conditions or respon-
sibility to drive safely. It cannot
prevent accidents due to careless-
ness. It is the driver’s responsibility
to stay alert and drive safely at all
times.
System operation
The traffic recognition system displays
the following types of road sign:

2-46Instruments and controls
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 deacti-
vated automatically. The “Unavailable
high cabin temperature” warning mes-
sage will appear in the vehicle informa-
tion 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 TSR
"Malfunction" warning message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display.
Action to take:
If the TSR "Malfunction" warning mes-
sage appears, pull off the road at a safe
location and stop the vehicle. Turn the
engine off and restart the engine. If the
TSR "Malfunction" message 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 rearview
mirror. For maintenance of the camera,
see “System maintenance” (P.5-39).
JVI1587X
Your vehicle has two types of security
systems, as follows:
.Vehicle security system
. NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by
the security indicator light.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides
visual and audio alarm signals if someone
opens the doors, hood (if so equipped)
and liftgate when the system is armed. It
is not, however, a motion detection type
system that activates when a vehicle is
moved or when a vibration occurs.

.opening any doors, the hood (if so
equipped) or liftgate without using the
key or Intelligent Key (even if the door
is unlocked by releasing the door
inside lock knob).
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking a door
or the liftgate with the mechanical key,
pressing the UNLOCK
button on the
key fob (if so equipped) or the Intelligent
Key (if so equipped), or pushing the
request switch (if so equipped) on the
driver’s or passenger’s door in range of
the door handle.
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYS-
TEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of the registered key.
If the engine fails to start using the
registered key, it may be due to inter-
ference caused by another registered key,
an automated toll road device or auto-
mated payment device on the key ring.
Restart the engine using the following
procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position and wait approximately 10 seconds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the
interference) separate from the regis-
tered key.
If this procedure allows the engine to
start, NISSAN recommends placing the
registered key on a separate key ring
to avoid interference from other de-
vices.
