WARNING ● Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries. Y ou could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.
Forward and backward Pull the center of the bar up and hold it while you slide the seat forward or backward to the desired position. Release the bar to lock the seat in position. Reclining T o recline the seatback, pull the lever up and lean back. T o bring the seatback forward, pull the lever up and lean your body forward.
FRONT POWER SEAT ADJUSTMENT (if so equipped for driver’s seat) Operating tips ● The power seat motor has an auto-reset overload protection circuit. If the motor stops during operation, wait 30 seconds, then reactivate the switch. ● Do not operate the power seat switch for a long period of time when the Hybrid System is not in the READ Y mode.
Seat lifter (driver’s seat) Push the front or rear end of the switch up or down to adjust the angle and height of the seat cushion. Lumbar support (driver’s seat) The lumbar support feature provides lower back support to the driver. Move the switch forward or backward to adjust the seatback lumbar area.
HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNING Head restraints supplement the other ve- hicle safety systems. They may provide additional protection against injury in cer- tain rear end collisions. Adjust the head restraints properly, as specified in this section. Check the adjustment after someone else uses the seat.
Adjustment Adjust the head restraint so the center is level with the center of the seat occupant’s ears. T o raise the head restraint, pull it up. T o lower, push and hold the lock knob and push the head restraint down.
Removal Use the following procedure to remove the ad- justable head restraints. 1. Pull the head restraint up to the highest position. 2. Push and hold the lock knob and release knob. 3. Remove the head restraint from the seat. 4. Store the head restraint properly so it is not loose in the vehicle.
Adjust the Active Head Restraints properly as described in this section. PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE If you are wearing your seat belt properly ad- justed and you are sitting upright and well back in your seat with both feet on the floor, your chances of being injured or killed in an accident and/or the severity of injury may be greatly reduced.
WARNING ● Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times. Children should be properly re- strained in the rear seat and, if appro- priate, in a child restraint. WARNING ● The seat belt should be properly ad- justed to a snug fit.
WARNING ● Always route the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never put the belt behind your back, under your arm or across your neck. The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder. ● Position the lap belt as low and snug as possible AROUND THE HIPS, NO T THE WAIST .
PREGNANT WOMEN NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug and always position the lap belt as low as possible around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest.
䊊 2 Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear and feel the latch engage. ● The retractor is designed to lock during a sudden stop or on impact. A slow pulling motion permits the seat belt to move, and allows you some freedom of movement in the seat.
Unfastening the seat belts 䊊 1 T o unfasten the seat belt, press the button on the buckle. The seat belt automatically re- tracts. Checking seat belt operation Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat belt movement by two separate methods: ● When the seat belt is pulled quickly from the retractor.
WARNING ● After adjustment, release the adjust- ment button and try to move the shoul- der belt anchor up and down to make sure it is securely fixed in position.
Children need adults to help protect them. They need to be properly restrained. In addition to the general information in this manual, child safety information is available from many other sources, including doctors, teachers, government traffic safety offices, and community organizations.
LARGER CHILDREN Children who are too large for child restraints should be seated and restrained by the seat belts which are provided. The seat belt may not fit properly if the child is less than 4 ft 9 in (142.5 cm) tall and weighs between 40 lbs (18 kg) and 80 lbs (36 kg) .
WARNING ● Failure to follow the warnings and in- structions for proper use and installa- tion of child restraints could result in serious injury or death of a child or other passengers in a sudden stop or collision: – The child restraint must be used and installed properly.
This vehicle is equipped with a universal child restraint anchor system, referred to as the LA TCH (Lower Anchors and T ethers for CHildren) sys- tem. Some child restraints include rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can be con- nected to these anchors.
LA T CH lower anchor WARNING Failure to follow the warnings and instruc- tions for proper use and installation of child restraints could result in serious in- jury or death of a child or other passen- gers in a sudden stop or collision: – Attach LA TCH system compatible child restraints only at the locations shown in the illustration.
The child restraint top tether strap must be used when installing the child restraint with the LA TCH lower anchor attachments or seat belts. See “T op tether anchor” for installation instructions. When installing a child restraint, carefully read and follow the instructions in this manual and those supplied with the child restraint.
2. Secure the child restraint anchor attach- ments to the LA TCH lower anchors. Check to make sure the LA TCH attachment is prop- erly attached to the lower anchors. 3. For child restraints that are equipped with webbing-mounted attachments, remove any additional slack from the anchor attach- ments.
4. After attaching the child restraint, test it be- fore you place the child in it. Push it from side to side while holding the child restraint near the LA TCH attachment path. The child re- straint should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) , from side to side.
WARNING The three-point seat belt with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be used when installing a child restraint. Failure to use the ALR mode will result in the child restraint not being properly secured. The restraint could tip over or be loose and cause injury to a child in a sudden stop or collision.
3. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor is in the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode (child restraint mode) . It reverts to the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode when the seat belt is fully retracted.
6. After attaching the child restraint, test it be- fore you place the child in it. Push it from side to side while holding the child restraint near the seat belt path. The child restraint should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) , from side to side. T ry to tug it forward and check to see if the belt holds the restraint in place.
3. The back of the child restraint should be secured against the vehicle seatback. If the seating position does not have an adjustable headrest and it is interfering with the proper child restraint fit, try another seat- ing position or a different child restraint.
6. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to remove any slack. 7. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use.
3. Route the seat belt tongue through the child restraint and insert it into the buckle until you hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to follow the child restraint manufacturer’s in- structions for belt routing.
6. Remove any additional slack from the seat belt; press downward and rearward firmly in the center of the child restraint with your knee to compress the vehicle seat cushion and seatback while pulling up on the seat belt. 7. After attaching the child restraint, test it be- fore you place the child in it.
10. If the child restraint is installed in the front passenger seat, place the ignition switch in the ON position. The front passenger air bag status light should illuminate. If this light is not illuminated see ⬙ Front passenger air bag and status light ⬙ in this section.
Booster seats of various sizes are offered by several manufacturers. When selecting any booster seat, keep the following points in mind: ● Choose only a booster seat with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor V ehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor V ehicle Safety Standard 213.
Booster seat installation CAUTION Do not use the lap/shoulder belt in the Automatic Locking Retractor mode when using a booster seat with the seat belts. Refer to all W arnings and Cautions in the “Child Safety” , “Child Restraint” and “Booster Seats” sections before installing a child restraint.
If the seating position does not have an adjustable head restraint and it is interfering with the proper booster seat fit, try another seating position or a different booster seat. 4. P osition the lap portion of the seat belt low and snug on the child’s hips.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supple- mental air bag system: This system can help cushion the impact force to the head of occu- pants in front and rear outboard seating positions in certain side-impact collisions. The curtain side-impact air bags are designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted.
● The driver and front passenger seat belt buckles are equipped with sensors that detect if the seat belts are fastened. The Advanced Air Bag System monitors the severity of a collision and seat belt us- age then inflates the air bags. Failure to properly wear seat belts can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident.
WARNING ● Never let children ride unrestrained or extend their hands or face out of the window. Do not attempt to hold them in your lap or arms. Some examples of dangerous riding positions are shown in the illustrations.
WARNING ● Children may be severely injured or killed when the front air bags, side air bags or curtain air bags inflate if they are not properly restrained.
WARNING Front seat-mounted side-impact supple- mental air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags: ● The side air bags and curtain air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a frontal impact, rear impact, rollover or lower severity side collision.

NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System (front seats) This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN Ad- vanced Air Bag System for the driver and front passenger seats. This system is designed to meet certification requirements under U.S. regu- lations. It is also permitted in Canada.
Front passenger air bag and status light WARNING The front passenger air bag is designed to automatically turn OFF under some con- ditions. Read this section carefully to learn how it operates. Proper use of the seat, seat belt and child restraints is nec- essary for most effective protection.
NISSAN recommends that pre-teens and chil- dren be properly restrained in a rear seat. NISSAN also recommends that appropriate child restraints and booster seats be properly installed in a rear seat.
● Do not place objects with sharp edges on the seat. Also, do not place heavy objects on the seat that will leave per- manent impressions in the seat. Such objects can damage the seat or occu- pant classification sensor (pattern sen- sor) . This can affect the operation of the air bag system and result in serious personal injury.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bag and roof- mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bag systems The side air bags are located in the outside of the seatback of the front seats. The curtain air bags are located in the side roof rails.
● Right after inflation, several side air bag and curtain air bag system components will be hot. Do not touch them; you may severely burn yourself. ● No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the side air bag and curtain air bag systems.
The pretensioner system activates in conjunction with the front air bag system. W orking with the seat belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle becomes involved in certain types of collisions, helping to restrain front seat occupants.
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT The supplemental air bag warning light, displaying in the instrument panel, moni- tors the circuits of the supplemental front-impact air bag, front seat-mounted side-impact supple- mental air bag, roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bag and seat belt pretensioner systems.
● The front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag systems and the pretensioner system should be inspected by a NISSAN dealer if there is any damage to the front end or side portion of the vehicle. ● If you need to dispose of a supplemen- tal air bag or pretensioners or scrap the vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer.

mately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal- function exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
● When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is replaced, tire pressure will not be indicated, 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. Contact your NISSAN dealer as soon as possible for tire replacement and/or system resetting.
OFF-ROAD RECOVERY While driving, the right side or left side wheels may unintentionally leave the road surface. If this occurs, maintain control of the vehicle by follow- ing the procedure below . Please note that this procedure is only a general guide.
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND DRIVING WARNING Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream re- duces coordination, delays reaction time and impairs judgement. Driving after drinking alcohol increases the likelihood of being involved in an accident injuring yourself and others.
The ignition lock is designed so that the ignition switch position cannot be switched to off until the shift selector is moved to the P (Park) position. When the ignition switch cannot be switched off, proceed as follows: 1. Move the shift selector into the P (Park) position.
If the battery of the Intelligent K ey is almost dis- charged, the guide light 䊊 A of the Intelligent K ey port blinks and the indicator appears on the ve- hicle information display . See “V ehicle informa- tion display” in the “Instruments and controls” section.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or L OCK position, and wait approximately 10 seconds. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2. 4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the interference) separate from the registered key .
● When the Hybrid System is started or stopped, you may hear a sound coming from the high voltage battery located un- der the rear seats. This does not indicate a problem. ● When the Hybrid System is started or stopped, or while the vehicle is idling, you may hear a sound coming from the trans- mission.
The shift selector cannot be moved out of P (Park) and into any of the other gear posi- tions if the ignition switch is pushed to the LOCK or ACC position.
R (Reverse) : CAUTION T o prevent transmission damage, use the P (Park) or R (Reverse) position only when the vehicle is completely stopped. Use the R (Reverse) position to back up. Make sure the vehicle is completely stopped before selecting the R (Reverse) position.
T o move the shift selector, complete the following procedure: 1. Push the ignition switch to the L OCK posi- tion. 2. Apply the parking brake. 3. For cap removal it must be used or if it is available a plastic trim tool can be used 4. Using a protective cloth on the tip o fa3m m screwdriver, remove the shift lock release cover.

WARNING ● 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 set and the transmission placed into P (Park) .
WARNING ● If the Hybrid System is not in the READ Y mode or is turned off while driving, the power assist for the steering will not work. Steering will be harder to operate. ● When the power steering warning light illuminates with the Hybrid System in the READ Y mode, there will be no power assist for the steering.
Hydraulic system The brake system has separate hydraulic circuits. If one circuit malfunctions, you will still have brak - ing at other wheels. However, the brake pedal will have to be de- pressed harder and your stopping distance will increase. The brake system warning light will also come on.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) WARNING ● The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a sophisticated device, but it cannot pre- vent accidents resulting from careless or dangerous driving techniques. It can help maintain vehicle control during braking on slippery surfaces.
Normal operation The ABS operates at speeds abov e4-6M P H( 7 - 10 km/h) . The speed varies according to road conditions. When the ABS senses that 1 or more wheels are close to locking up, the actuator rapidly applies and releases hydraulic pressure. This action is similar to pumping the brakes very quickly .
The V ehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system uses various sensors to monitor driver inputs and ve- hicle motion. Under certain driving situations, the system will control braking and engine output to help keep the vehicle on its steered path.
FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK T o prevent a door lock from freezing, apply de- icer through the key hole. If the lock becomes frozen, heat the key before inserting it into the key hole or use the remote keyless entry function on the intelligent key .
● Watch for slippery spots (glare ice) . These may appear on an otherwise clear road in shaded areas. If a patch of ice is seen ahead, brake before reach- ing it. T ry not to brake while on the ice, and avoid any sudden steering maneuvers. ● Do not use the cruise control on slip- pery roads.

When planning to drive your NISSAN ve- hicle in another country, you should first find out if the fuel available is suitable for your vehi- cle’s engine. Using fuel with an octane rating that is too low may cause engine damage. All gasoline vehicles must be operated with unleaded gasoline.
ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER The number is stamped on the engine as shown. F .M.V .S.S./C.M.V .S.S. CERTIFICATION LABEL The Federal/Canadian Motor V ehicle Safety Standard (F .
TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION LABEL The cold tire pressure is shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. The label is located as shown. AIR CONDITIONER SPECIFICATION LABEL The air conditioner specification label is affixed to the underside of the hood as shown.
Use the following steps to mount the front license plate: 䊊 1 Make a shallow hole in each plastic finisher at the location mark (small dimple) using a 0.39 in (10 mm) drill. T o avoid damaging the threads behind the finisher, apply only light pressure to the drill.
● V ehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit, T otal load capacity - maximum total weight limit specified of the load (passengers and cargo) for the ve- hicle. This is the maximum combined weight of occupants and cargo that can be loaded into the vehicle.
Steps for determining correct load limit 1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s placard. 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be trans- ferred to your vehicle.
WARNING Overloading or improper loading of a trailer and its cargo can adversely affect vehicle handling, braking and perfor- mance and may lead to accidents. CAUTION ● Do not tow a trailer or haul a heavy load for the first 500 miles (800 km) . Y our engine, axle or other parts could be damaged.
T emperature conditions can also affect towing. For example, towing a heavy trailer in high outside temperatures on graded roads can affect engine performance and cause overheating. The engine protection mode, which helps reduce the chance of engine damage, could activate and automati- cally decrease engine power.
T owing capacities are calculated assuming a base vehicle with driver and any options required to achieve the rating. Additional passengers, cargo and/or optional equipment, such as the trailer hitch, will add weight to the vehicle and reduce your vehicle’s maximum towing capacity and trailer tongue load.
Always verify that available capacities are within the required ratings. T OWING LOAD/SPECIFICATION T OWING LOAD / SPECIFICA TION UNIT : lb (kg) MAXIMUM T OWING L OAD 1,000 (454) MAXIMUM T ONGUE L OAD 100 (45) T OWING SAFETY T railer hitch Choose a proper hitch for your vehicle and trailer.
CAUTION ● Do not use axle-mounted hitches. ● The hitch should not be attached to or affect the operation of the impact- absorbing bumper. ● Do not modify the vehicle exhaust sys- tem, brake system, etc .
WARNING Never connect a trailer brake system di- rectly to the vehicle brake system. Pre-towing tips ● Be certain your vehicle maintains a level position when a loaded and/or unloaded trailer is hitched.
T o drive away: 1. Start the vehicle. 2. Apply and hold the brake pedal. 3. Shift the transmission into gear. 4. Release the parking brake. 5. Drive slowly until the vehicle and trailer are clear from the blocks. 6. Apply and hold the brake pedal. 7. Have someone retrieve and store the blocks.
● Some states or provinces have specific regulations and speed limits for vehicles that are towing trailers. Obey the local speed limits. ● Check your hitch, trailer wiring harness con- nections, and trailer wheel lug nuts after 50 miles (80 km) of travel and at every break.
WARNING The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristic s.
If you believe that your vehicle has a de- fect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immedi- ately inform the National Highway T raffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addi- tion to notifying NISSAN.
the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation. T o read data recorded by an EDR, special equip- ment is required and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed.
