INCREASING FUEL ECONOMY AND

PARKING

REDUCING CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS

.

Keep your engine tuned up.

WARNING:

Follow the recommended scheduled main-

tenance.

.

Do not stop or park the vehicle over

flammable materials such as dry grass,

waste paper or rags. They may ignite and

cause a fire.

Safe parking procedures require that

both the parking brake be applied and

the shift lever placed into the “P” (Park)

position. Failure to do so could cause the

vehicle to move unexpectedly or roll

away and result in an accident.

.

Keep the tires inflated to the correct

pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire

wear and lowers fuel economy.

Keep the wheels in correct alignment.

Improper alignment increases tire wear

and lowers fuel economy.

Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.

(See “Recommended fluids/lubricants and

capacities” (P.9-2).)

.

When parking the vehicle, make sure the

shift lever is moved to the “P” (Park)

position. The shift lever cannot be moved

out of the “P” (Park) position without

depressing the foot brake pedal.

.

Never leave the engine running while the

vehicle is unattended.

Do not leave children unattended inside

the vehicle. They could unknowingly acti-

vate switches or controls. Unattended

children could become involved in ser-

ious accidents.

.

To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of the

vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave

children, people who require the assis-

tance of others or pets unattended in

your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-

ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm

day can quickly become high enough to

cause a significant risk of injury or death

to people and pets.

1. Firmly apply the parking brake.

Turn the wheels away from the curb and

allow the vehicle to move back until the

curb side wheel gently touches the curb.

Then apply the parking brake.

2. Move the shift lever to the “P” (Park)

position.

3. To help prevent the vehicle from moving

into traffic when parked on an incline, it is a

good practice to turn the wheels as illu-

strated.

HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, WITHOUT

CURB

Turn the wheels toward the side of the

road so the vehicle will move away from the

center of the road if the vehicle moves.

Then apply the parking brake.

HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB

Turn the wheels into the curb and move

the vehicle forward until the curb side

wheel gently touches the curb. Then apply

the parking brake.

4. Push the ignition switch to the “OFF”

position.

PARKING SENSOR SYSTEM

The system may not detect objects at speeds

above 10 km/h (6 MPH) and may not detect

certain angular or moving objects.

The parking sensor system detects obstacles

up to 1.2 m (3.9 ft) from the bumper with a

decreased coverage area at the outer corners

of the bumper. Refer to the illustration for

approximate zone coverage areas. As you

move closer to the obstacle, the rate of the

tone increases. When the obstacle is less than

35 cm (13.8 in) (except for Mexico) or 30 cm (11.8

in) (for Mexico) away, the tone will sound

continuously.

SSD0622

Keep the corner/center sensors (located on the

bumper fascia) free from snow, ice and large

accumulations of dirt (do not clean the sensors

with sharp objects). If the sensors are covered,

it will affect the accuracy of the parking sensor

system.

The sensitivity level of the corner/center sen-

sors can be adjusted (higher or lower) in the

lower display (model with dual display) or

center display (model with single display) (if

equipped). (See “Setting operation (Type A)”

(P.5-97) or “Setting operation (Type B)” (P.4-18).)

stacles or false alarms.

CAUTION:

WARNING:

.

The parking sensor system is a conve-

nience but it is not a substitute for proper

parking. Always look around and check

that it is safe to do so before parking.

Always move slowly.

Read and understand the limitations of

the parking sensor system as contained

in this section. Inclement weather may

affect the function of the parking sensor

system; this may include reduced perfor-

mance or a false activation.

.

Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as

possible to hear the tone clearly.

The front and rear parking sensors (so-

nar) detect the distance between the

vehicle and the obstacle by detecting

the sound wave reflected from the sur-

face of the obstacle. When there is

a

sound such as horn, or an ultrasonic

source (such as parking sensors of other

vehicles) around the vehicle, the sensor

(sonar) may not detect objects properly.

The intermittent tone will stop in 3 seconds

when an obstacle is detected by only the

corner sensor and the distance does not

change.

.

This system is not designed to prevent

contact with small or moving objects.

The parking sensor system sounds a tone to

warn the driver of obstacles near the bumper.

When the “Interrupt Display” is turned on in the

“Sonar” settings, the parking sensor indicator

will also appear in the center display (if

equipped). (See “Parking sensor indicator” (P.5-

96).) The system detects front obstacles when

the shift lever is in the “D” (Drive) position or “N”

(Neutral) position. The system detects both

front and rear obstacles when the shift lever

is in the “R” (Reverse) position.

The system is designed as an aid to the

driver in detecting large stationary ob-

jects to help avoid damaging the vehicle.

The system will not detect small objects

below the bumper, and may not detect

objects that are too close to the bumper

or on the ground.

If your vehicle sustains damage to the

bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or

bent, the sensing zone may be altered

causing inaccurate measurement of ob-

the position of the object and the distance to

the object with its color and rate of blinking.

When an object is detected, the indicator

(green) appears and blinks (the tone sounds

intermittently). When the vehicle moves closer

to the object, the color of the indicator turns

yellow and the rate of blinking increases (the

rate of the tone increases). When the bumper is

very close to the object, less than 35 cm (13.8 in)

(except for Mexico) or 30 cm (11.8 in) (for Mexico)

away, the indicator stops blinking and turns red

(the tone sounds continuously).

When the rear view monitor is displayed, the

colors of the parking sensor indicator and

the distance guide lines in the rear view

indicate different distances to the object.

The parking sensor system OFF switch on the

lower side of the instrument panel allows the

driver to turn the parking sensor system on

and off. To turn the parking sensor system on

and off, the ignition switch must be in the “ON”

position. The indicator light on the switch will

illuminate when the system is turned off. If the

indicator light flashes when the parking sensor

system is not turned off, it may indicate a

malfunction in the parking sensor system.

The parking sensor system will turn on auto-

matically under the following conditions.

When the

TRAILER TOWING (models without TRAILER TOWING (models with

trailer hitch)

Your vehicle was designed to be used to carry

passengers and luggage. NISSAN does not

recommend trailer towing, because it places

additional loads on your vehicle’s engine, drive-

train, steering, braking, and other systems.

Your new vehicle was designed to be used

primarily to carry passengers and luggage.

Do not use the Intelligent Forward Collision

Warning system (if equipped).

Follow the trailer manufacturer’s instruc-

Towing a trailer will place additional loads on

your vehicle’s engine, drive train, steering,

braking and other systems. The towing of a

trailer will exaggerate other conditions such as

sway caused by crosswinds, rough road sur-

faces or passing trucks.

Your driving style and speed must be adjusted

according to the circumstances. Before towing

a trailer, see a NISSAN dealer for an explanation

about the proper use of towing equipment.

Choose proper coupling devices (trailer

hitch, safety chain, roof carrier, etc.) for

your vehicle and trailer. These devices are

available from a NISSAN dealer where you

about trailer towing.
