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 lever 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 RESTRAINT ADJUSTMENT T o raise the head restraint, pull it up. T o lower, push and hold the lock knob and push the head restraint down. WARNING Head restraints should be adjusted prop- erly as they may provide significant pro- tection against injury in an accident.
● Do not attach anything to the head re- straint stalks. Doing so could impair Active Head Restraint function. The Active Head Restraint moves forward utiliz- ing the force that the seatback receives from the occupant in a rear-end collision.
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 .
CHILD SAFETY 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.
80 lbs (36 kg) . A booster seat should be used to obtain proper seat belt fit. NISSAN recommends that a child be placed in a commercially available booster seat if the shoul- der belt in the child’s seating position fits close to the face or neck or if the lap portion of the seat belt goes across the abdomen.
Fastening the seat belts 1. Adjust the seat. See “Seats” earlier in this section. s 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.
The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode allows the seat belt to extend and retract to allow the driver and passengers some freedom of movement in the seat.
Shoulder belt height adjustment (front seats) The shoulder belt anchor height should be ad- justed to the position best for you. (See “Precau- tions on seat belt usage” earlier in this section.
PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RESTRAINTS WARNING ● Infants and small children should al- ways be placed in an appropriate child restraint while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a child restraint can re- sult in serious injury or death. ● Infants and small children should never be carried on your lap.
● If the child restraint is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being in- jured in a collision or a sudden stop greatly increases. ● Child restraint anchor points are de- signed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child re- straints.
LA T CH (Lower Anchors and T ethers for CHildren) SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with special anchor points that are used with LA T CH (Lower Anchors and T ethers for CHildren) system compatible child restraints. This system may also be referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible system.
Installing child restraint LA T CH anchor attachments LA T CH compatible child restraints include two rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can be connected to two anchors located at certain seating positions in your vehicle. With this sys- tem, you do not have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child restraint.
T op tether anchor point locations Anchor points s 1 are located on the rear parcel shelf. Installing top tether strap First, secure the child restraint with the LA T CH System (rear outboard seating positions only) or the seat belt, as applicable. s 1 Flip up the anchor cover from the anchor point which is located directly behind the child seat.
● Inspect the lower anchors by inserting your fingers into the lower anchor area and feeling to make sure there are no obstructions over the LA T CH anchors, such as seat belt webbing or seat cush- ion material. The child restraint will not be secured properly if the LA T CH an- chors are obstructed.
4. For child restraints that are equipped with webbing-mounted attachments, remove any additional slack from the anchor attach- ments. Press downward and rearward firmly in the center of the child restraint with your knee to compress the vehicle seat cushion and seatback while tightening the webbing of the anchor attachments.
2. Secure the child restraint anchor attach- ments to the LA T CH lower anchors. Check to make sure the LA T CH 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 seat near the LA T CH attachment 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 LA T CH attachment holds the restraint in place.
● NISSAN recommends that child re- straints be installed in the rear seat. However, if you must install a front- facing child restraint in the front pas- senger seat, move the passenger seat to the rearmost position. Also, be sure the front passenger air bag status light is illuminated to indicate the passenger air bag is OFF .
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. 4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully extended.
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.
11. 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 9 Front passenger air bag and status light 9 in this section.
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 seat 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.
● Infants and small children should never be carried on your lap. It is not possible for even the strongest adult to resist the forces of a severe accident. The child could be crushed between the adult and parts of the vehicle. Also, do not put the same seat belt around both your child and yourself.
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 WARNING NISSAN recommends that booster seats be installed in the rear seat. However, if you must install a booster seat in the front passenger seat, move the passenger’s seat to the rearmost position.
3. The booster seat should be positioned on the vehicle seat so that it is stable. If neces- sary , adjust or remove the head restraint to obtain the correct booster seat fit. See “Head restraint adjustment” earlier in this section. If the head restraint is removed, store it in a secure place.
7. If the booster seat is installed in the front passenger seat, place the ignition switch in the ON position. The front passenger air bag status light may or may not illuminate, depending on the size of the child and the type of booster seat being used.
WARNING ● The front air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a side impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower severity fron- tal collision. Always wear your seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity of injury in various kinds of accidents.
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.

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.
restraints and booster seats be properly installed in a rear seat. If this is not possible, the occupant classification sensor is designed to operate as described above to turn the front passenger air bag OFF for specified child restraints as required by the regulations.
● 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.

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 switch is equipped with an anti-theft steering lock device. 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.
If the battery of the Intelligent K ey is almost dis- charged, the guide light s 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, or while the vehicle is idling, you may hear a sound coming from the trans- mission. This does not indicate a prob- lem. ● When the gasoline engine is started or stopped with the Hybrid System on, you may feel a vibration and hear a rattling sound.
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. Remove the shift lock release cover as shown. 4. Insert a small screwdriver in the shift lock release slot and push down.
1. CANCEL switch 2. ACCEL/RES switch 3. COAST/SET switch 4. ON/OFF switch PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE CONTROL ● If the cruise control system malfunctions, it cancels automatically . The SET indicator light in the instrument panel then blinks to warn the driver.
● the vehicle slows down more than 8 MPH (13 km/h) below the set speed. ● you move the shift selector lever to N (Neu- tral) . T o reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of the following three methods. ● Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push and release the COAST/SET switch.
● Accelerate slowly and smoothly . Maintain cruising speeds with a constant accelerator position. ● Drive at moderate speeds on the highway . Driving at high speed lowers fuel economy . ● Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking. Maintain a safe distance behind other ve- hicles.
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.
When the ABS senses that one or more wheels are close to locking up, the system electronically controls the pressure applied to each brake. This action is similar to pumping the brakes very quickly . Y ou may hear a noise from under the hood or feel a vibration from the actuator when it is operating.
The V ehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system uses sensors within the vehicle to detect these move- ments. The VDC system helps control brake and engine output to help minimize tire slip and spin. ● When the V ehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system is operating, the SLIP indicator in the instrument panel blinks.
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 keyfob (if so equipped) .
● 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.

For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires may be used. However, some U.S. states and Canadian provinces prohibit their use. Check local, state and provincial laws before installing studded tires. Skid and traction capabilities of studded snow tires on wet or dry surfaces may be poorer than that of non-studded snow tires.
CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES Tire rotation NISSAN recommends rotating the tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) . See “Flat tire” in the “In case of emer- gency” section of this manual for tire re- placing procedures. As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the specified torque with a torque wrench.
● The original tires have built-in tread wear indicators. When the wear indicators are visible, the tire(s) should be replaced. ● Tires degrade with age and use. Have tires, including the spare, over 6 years old checked by a qualified technician because some tire damage may not be ob- vious.
● Do not install a damaged or deformed wheel or tire even if it has been re- paired. Such wheels or tires could have structural damage and could fail with- out warning.
● Tire tread of the TEMPORAR Y USE ONL Y spare tire will wear at a faster rate than the standard tire. Replace the spare tire as soon as the tread wear indicators appear. ● Do not use the spare tire on other vehicles. ● Do not use more than one spare tire at the same time.

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: s 1 Make a shallow hole in each plastic finisher at the location mark (small dimple) using a 0.31 in (8 mm) drill. T o avoid damaging the threads behind the finisher, apply only light pressure to the drill.
● V ehicle Capacity W eight, 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. When towing a trailer load of 3,500 lbs. (1587 kg) or more, trailers with a brake system MUST be used. However, most states require a separate braking system on trailers with a loaded weight above a specific amount.
● Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed. ● When backing up, hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Move your hand in the direction in which you want the trailer to go. Make small corrections and back up slowly . If possible, have someone guide you when you are backing up.
2. When the trailer sway stops, gently apply the brakes and pull to the side of the road in a safe area. 3. T ry to rearrange the trailer load so it is bal- anced as described earlier in this section. ● Be careful when passing other vehicles. Passing while towing a trailer requires con- siderably more distance than normal pass- ing.
DO T (Department of T ransportation) Quality Grades: All passenger car tires must conform to federal safety requirements in addition to these grades. Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.
