AT (Automatic
Transmission) CHECK
If the service warning appears while the
engine is running, or while driving, it may
indicate that the AT is not functioning prop-
erly and may need servicing. Have the sys-
tem checked, and if necessary, repaired
promptly. It is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
AT (Automatic Transmission) Error:
See Owner’s Manual
If this message appears while the engine is
running, or while driving, it may indicate
that the AT is not functioning properly and
may need servicing. Have the system
checked, and if necessary, repaired
promptly. It is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Service AT
This transmission has a high fluid tem-
perature protection mode. If the fluid tem-
perature becomes too high (for example,
climbing steep grades in high tempera-
tures with heavy loads, such as when tow-
ing a trailer), engine power and, under
some conditions, vehicle speed will be
decreased automatically to reduce the
chance of transmission damage. Vehiclespeed can be controlled with the accelera-
tor pedal, but the engine and vehicle speed
may be reduced.
WARNING
When the high fluid temperature pro-
tection mode operation occurs, vehicle
speed may be gradually reduced. The
reduced speed may be lower than
other traffic, which could increase the
chance of a collision. Be especially
careful when driving. If necessary, pull
to the side of the road at a safe place
and allow the transmission to return to
normal operation; or have it repaired if
necessary.
Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) with
Pedestrian Detection
emergency warning

Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) indicator
This indicator appears when the BSW and
RCTA systems are engaged.
For additional information, see “Blind Spot
Warning (BSW)” (P. 5-32) and “Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA)” (P. 5-41).
Cruise control indicator
This indicator shows the cruise control sys-
tem status.
For additional information, see “Cruise con-
trol” (P. 5-49).
Currently unavailable
This message may appear when the Intel-
ligent Cruise Control (ICC) system is en-
gaged. Under the following conditions, the
ICC system is automatically cancelled:
• When the VDC operates.
• When a wheel slips.
• When the VDC system is turned off.
The above system cannot be used in some
situations (VDC operates, wheel slips, and
VDC system is off ).

Manual headlight aiming control
(if so equipped)
Depending on the number of occupants in
the vehicle and the load it is carrying, the
headlight axis may be higher than desired.
If the vehicle is traveling on a hilly road, the
headlights may directly hit the rearview
mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
shield of the oncoming vehicle. The light
axis can be lowered with the operation of
the switch.
The larger the number designated on the
switch, the lower the axis.When traveling without a heavy load or on a
flat road, select position 0.
Select the switch position by referring to
the following sample.

If the indicator light flashes when the Front
and rear sonar system, MOD, RAB, or RCTA
systems are not turned off, it may indicate
a malfunction in one or more of these sys-
tems (if so equipped).
The Front and rear sonar system, MOD,
RAB, or RCTA systems will be turned on
automatically under the following condi-
tions:
• When the ignition switch is switched fromthe OFF position to the ON position.
• When the shif t lever is shif ted into the R (Reverse) position.
The automatic turning on function can be
turned on and off for these systems in the

ject Detection (MOD)” (P. 4-23). Tow mode should be used when pulling a
heavy trailer or hauling a heavy load. Driv-
ing the vehicle in the tow mode with no
trailer/load or light trailer/light load will
not cause any damage. However, fuel
economy may be reduced, and the
transmission/engine driving characteris-
tics may feel unusual.

when tow mode is selected. Push the tow
mode switch again to turn tow mode off.Tow mode is automatically canceled when
