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 SEA T ADJUSTMENT (if so equipped for driver’s seat) Operating tips ● The power seat motor has an auto-reset overload protection circuit.
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.
Front-seat Active Head Restraints The Active Head Restraint moves forward utiliz- ing the force that the seatback receives from the occupant in a rear-end collision.
PRECAUTIONS ON SEA T BEL T 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 dur- ing 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) .
– Infants and children should never be held on anyone’s lap. Even the stron- gest adult cannot resist the forces of a collision. – Do not put a seat belt around both a child and another passenger. – NISSAN recommends that all child restraints be installed in the rear seat.
● If the child restraint is compatible with your vehicle, place your child in the child restraint and check the various adjustments to be sure the child restraint is compatible with your child. Choose a child restraint that is designed for your child’s height and weight.
LA T CH lower anchor location The LA T CH lower anchors are located at the rear of the seat cushion near the seatback. A label is attached to the seatback to help you locate the LA T CH lower anchors.
T op tether anchor point locations The child restraint top tether strap must be used when installing the child restraint with the LA T CH lower anchor attachments or seat belts. See “In- stalling top tether strap” later in this section. If you have any questions when installing a top tether strap, consult your NISSAN dealer for details.
3. 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 hand to compress the vehicle seat cushion and seatback while tightening the webbing of the anchor attachments.
5. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the child restraint is loose, repeat steps 2 through 4. REAR-F ACING CHILD RESTRAINT INST ALLA TION USING THE SEA T BEL TS WARNING The three-point seat belt with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be used when installing a child restraint.
Refer to all W arnings and Cautions in the “Child safety” and “Child restraints” sections before in- stalling a child restraint. Follow these steps to install a rear-facing child restraint using the vehicle seat belts in the rear seats: 1.
4. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on the shoulder belt to remove any slack in the belt. 5. Remove any additional slack from the seat belt; press downward and rearward firmly in the center of the child restraint to compress the vehicle seat cushion and seatback while pulling up on the seat belt.
7. Check to make sure that the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 1 through 6. After the child restraint is removed and the seat belt fully retracted, the ALR mode (child restraint mode) is canceled.
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.
Refer to all W arnings and Cautions in the “Child Safety” and “Child Restraint” sections before in- stalling a child restraint. Follow these steps to install a forward-facing child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear seats or in the front passenger seat: 1.
4. 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 Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode when the seat belt is fully retracted.
8. 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.
INST ALLING T OP TETHER STRAP First, secure the child restraint with the LA T CH lower anchors (rear outboard seat positions only) or the seat belt, as applicable. 1. Flip up the anchor cover 䊊 1 from the anchor point which is located directly behind the child seat.
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 as needed. 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.
SUPPLEMENT AL AIR BAG W ARNING 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.

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.
avoid driving when tired. Never drive when under the influence of alcohol or drugs (including pre- scription or over-the-counter drugs which may cause drowsiness) . Always wear your seat belt as outlined in the “Safety – Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system” section of this manual, and also instruct your passengers to do so.
2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel with both hands and try to hold a straight course. 3. When appropriate, slowly release the accel- erator pedal to gradually slow the vehicle. 4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe location off the road and away from traffic if possible.
When the ignition switch is pushed without de- pressing the brake pedal, the ignition switch po- sition will illuminate as follows: With the shift selector in the P (Park) position push the switch ● once to change to ACC. ● two times to change to ON.
CAUTION Do not leave the vehicle with the ignition switch in ACC or ON positions when the Hybrid System is off for an extended pe- riod. This can discharge the battery.
CAUTION ● Never place anything except the Intelli- gent Key in the Intelligent Key port. Do- ing so may cause damage to the equipment. ● Make sure the Intelligent Key is in the correct direction when inserting it to the Intelligent Key port. The engine may not start if it is in the wrong direction.
1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Move the shift selector to P (Park) . The Hybrid System is designed not to operate if the shift selector is not in the P (Park) position. 3. Place the ignition switch in the ON position. Depress the brake pedal and push the igni- tion switch to start the Hybrid System.
CAUTION When stopping the vehicle on an uphill grade, do not hold the vehicle by depress- ing the accelerator pedal. The foot brake should be used for this purpose. The eCVT in your vehicle is electronically con- trolled to produce maximum power and smooth operation.
WARNING Apply the parking brake if the shift selec- tor is in any position while the READ Y light is OFF . Failure to do so could cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly or roll away and result in serious personal injury or property damage.
Shift lock release If the battery charge is low or discharged, the shift selector may not be moved from the P (Park) position even with the brake pedal depressed and the shift selector button pushed. It will be necessary to jump start or have your battery charged, see “Jump starting” in the “In case of emergency” section.

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-L OCK BRAKING S Y STEM (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 L OCK 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 K ey.
● 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.

TIRE AND L OADING INFORMA TION LABEL The cold tire pressure is shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. The label is located as shown. AIR CONDITIONER SPECIFICA TION 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.
● GVW (Gross V ehicle W eight) - curb weight plus the combined weight of passengers and cargo. ● GVWR (Gross V ehicle W eight Rat- ing) - maximum total combined weight of the unloaded vehicle, pas- sengers, luggage, hitch, trailer tongue load and any other optional equipment.
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.
T OWING L OAD/SPECIFICA TION T OWING LOAD / SPECIFICATION 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.
● After the hitch is removed, seal the bolt holes to prevent exhaust fumes, water or dust from entering the passenger compartment. ● Regularly check that all trailer hitch mounting bolts are securely mounted.
● Be certain your rearview mirrors conform to all federal, state or local regulations. If not, install any mirrors required for towing before driving the vehicle. ● Determine the overall height of the vehicle and trailer so the required clearance is known.
● For the first 500 miles (805 km) that you do tow , do not drive over 50 MPH (80 km/h) . ● Have your vehicle serviced more often than at intervals specified in the recommended Maintenance Schedule in the “NISSAN Ser- vice and Maintenance Guide” .
CAUTION ● Failure to follow these guidelines can result in severe transmission damage. ● DO not tow your vehicle with four wheels on the ground. This may cause serious damage to your vehicle. ● DO NO T tow this vehicle with all four wheels on the ground (flat towing) .
WARNING The temperature grade for this tire is es- tablished for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, ei- ther separately or in combination, can cause heat build-up and possible tire failure.
Y ou may notify NISSAN by contacting our Consumer Affairs Department, toll-free, at 1-800-NISSAN-1. For Canada 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 T ransport Canada in addition to notifying NISSAN.
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Re- corder (EDR) . The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa- tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understand- ing how a vehicle’s systems performed.
