This function is designed as an aid to the

driver in detecting large stationary ob-

jects to help avoid damaging the vehicle.

The system is not designed to prevent

contact with small or moving objects.

Always move slowly.

The system will not detect small objects

below the bumper, and may not detect

objects close to the bumper or on the

ground.

SSD0723

The system may not detect the following

Type A

objects.

— Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth,

cotton, glass-wool, etc.

— Thin objects such as rope, wire and

chain, etc.

— Wedge-shaped objects

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-

stacles or false alarms.

Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as

possible to hear the tone clearly.

Read and understand the limitations of

the parking sensor (sonar) system as

contained in this section. The colors of

the sensor indicator and the distance

guide lines in the front (if equipped)/rear

view indicate different distances to the

object. Inclement weather or ultrasonic

sources such as an automatic car wash, a

truck’s compressed-air brakes or a pneu-

matic drill may affect the function of the

system; this may include reduced perfor-

will automatically appear in the vehicle infor-

Keep the 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, the accuracy of the sensor

function will be diminished.

WARNING:

The parking sensor (sonar) system is a

convenience but it is not a substitute for

proper parking. The driver is always

When the object is detected, the indicator

sounds intermittently. When the vehicle moves

closer to the object, the color of the indicator

turns yellow and the rate of the blinking

increase. When the vehicle is very close to the

object, the indicator stops blinking and turns

red, and the tone sounds continuously.

The intermittent tone will stop after 3 seconds

TRAILER TOWING (except for Australia,

New Zealand, South Africa and Europe)

TRAILER TOWING (for Australia, New

Zealand, South Africa and Europe)

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.

Moving Object (if equipped)

Activate or deactivate the use of sensor. For

more details, see “Moving Object Detection

(MOD) function” (P.4-17).

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.

Before driving, make sure that the lighting

system of the trailer works properly.

Observe the legal maximum speeds for

trailer operation.

ON (default) - OFF

Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 MPH) (for

Europe).

Volume

Adjust the volume of the tone.

High - Med. (default) - Low

Avoid abrupt starts, accelerations and

stops.

Avoid sharp turns and lane changes.

Range

Always drive your vehicle at a moderate

speed.

Adjust the detection range of the sensor.

Far - Mid. (default) - Near

Do not use the following systems (if

equipped) while towing a trailer:

— Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system

— Intelligent Lane Intervention system

— Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system

— Intelligent Emergency Braking system

— Intelligent Emergency Braking with pe-

destrian detection system

equipped with the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)

system.

important to not only have the correct equip-

ment fitted but also to use it correctly. Towing

loads greater than the value specified for your

vehicle or using towing equipment which is not

provided by NISSAN could seriously affect the

handling and/or performance of your vehicle.

Vehicle damage resulting from improper tow-

ing procedures is not covered by NISSAN

warranties. Information on trailer towing and

the required equipment should be obtained

from a NISSAN dealer.

MAXIMUM LOAD LIMITS (for Australia

and New Zealand)

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

can also obtain more detailed information

about trailer towing.

Never allow the total trailer load (trailer

weight plus its cargo weight) to exceed the

maximum set for the vehicle and the

coupling device. See a NISSAN dealer for

more information.

“Never exceed the Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM),

Gross Combination Mass (GCM) or Front/Rear

Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).”

The trailer must be loaded so that heavy

goods are placed over the axle. The max-

imum allowable vertical load on the trailer

hitch must not be exceeded.

CA0011-A

Maximum tongue load

Never allow the tongue load to exceed 10% of

the total trailer load. If the tongue load exceeds

10%, rearrange the cargo in the trailer.

Maximum trailer loads (including tires and

other loaded equipment):

TIRE PRESSURE

TRAILER DETECTION (if equipped)

When towing a trailer, inflate the vehicle tires to

the maximum recommended COLD tire pres-

sure (for full loading) indicated on the tire

placard.

When towing a trailer with a genuine NISSAN

tow bar electrical kit and the turn signal switch

is used, the electrical system of the vehicle will

detect the additional electrical load of the

trailer lighting. As a result, the direction indi-

cator tone will be different.

Do not tow a trailer when the vehicle is installed

with a temporary spare tire or a compact spare

tire.

SAFETY CHAINS

Always use

a suitable chain between the

vehicle and trailer. The chain should be crossed

and should be attached to the hitch, not to the

vehicle bumper or axle. Be sure to leave enough

slack in the chain to permit turning corners.

TRAILER BRAKES

Ensure that trailer brakes are installed as

required by local regulations. Also check that

all other trailer equipment conforms to local

regulations.

Always block the wheels on both the vehicle

and trailer when parking. Apply the hand brake

on the trailer if equipped. Parking on a steep

slope is not recommended.

If parking on a steep slope is unavoidable, place

the shift lever in the “P” (Park) position (Con-

tinuously Variable Transmission (CVT)/Dual

Clutch Transmission (DCT) model) or the shift

lever in an appropriate gear (Manual Transmis-

sion model), and turn the front wheels towards

the curb.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING

COUPLING DEVICE INSTALLATION (for Europe)

WARNING:

If the engine is not running or is turned

off while driving, the power assist for the

steering will not work. Steering will be

harder to operate.

When the electric power steering warning

light illuminates with the engine running,

the power assist for the steering will

cease operation. You will still have control

of the vehicle, but the steering will be

much harder to operate.

The electric power steering is designed to

provide power assist while driving to operate

the steering wheel with light force.

When the steering wheel is operated repeat-

edly or continuously while parking or driving at

a very low speed, the power assist for the

steering wheel will be reduced. This is to

prevent overheating of the electric power

steering and protect it from getting damaged.

While the power assist is reduced, steering

wheel operation will become heavy. When the

temperature of the electric power steering

goes down, the power assist level will return

to normal. Avoid repeating such steering wheel

operations that could cause the electric power

steering to overheat.
