on the control knob will illuminate.

3. Adjust the desired amount of air using

the control knob. The climate-controlled
seat blower remains on low speed for
approximately 60 seconds after turning
the switch on or selecting the desired
temperature.

To check the air filter for the climate-
controlled seat, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer.

WARNING

Do not use or allow occupants to use
the climate-controlled seats if you or
the occupants cannot monitor seat
temperatures or have an inability to
feel pain in those body parts in contact
with the seat. Use of the climate-
controlled seats by such people could
result in serious injury.

CAUTION

The battery could run down if the
climate-controlled seat is operated
while the engine is not running.

•

Do not use the climate-controlled
seat for extended periods or when no
one is using the seat.

•

Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates heat, such as a blan-
ket, cushion, seat cover, etc. Other-
wise,

the

seat

may

become

overheated.

•

Do not place anything hard or heavy
on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar objects. This may result in
damage to the climate-controlled
seat.

HEATED REAR SEAT SWITCHES (if so
equipped)

2-54

Instruments and controls

The rear seats are warmed by built-in heat-
ers. The switches are located on the rear of
the front center console and can be oper-
ated independently of each other.

1. Start the engine.

2. Push the LO or HI position of the switch,

as desired. The indicator light in the
switch will illuminate.

The heater is controlled by a thermostat,
automatically turning the heater on and
off. The indicator light will remain on as
long as the switch is on.

3. When the seat is warmed or before you

leave the vehicle, be sure to turn the
switch off.

Push the heated steering wheel switch to
warm the steering wheel after the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. The
indicator light will come on.

If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is below 68°F (20°C), the system will
heat the steering wheel and cycle off and
on to maintain a temperature above 68°F
(20°C). The indicator light will remain on as
long as the system is on.

Push the switch again to turn the heated
steering wheel system off manually. The
indicator light will go off.

NOTE:
• Once activated, your heated steering

wheel will automatically turn on and
off to maintain a temperature above
68°F (20°C).

• When the temperature of the steering

wheel is above 122°F (50°C) and the
heated steering wheel switch is turned
on, the system will not heat the steer-
ing wheel. This does not indicate a
malfunction.

The dynamic driver assistance switch is
used to temporarily activate the Intelligent
Lane Intervention (I-LI) system that is en-
abled using the settings menu of the ve-
hicle information display.

The I-LI system can be turned on with the
dynamic driver assistance switch after
starting the engine.

The dynamic driver assistance switch illu-
minates for a few seconds when the igni-
tion switch is placed in the ON position.

When

the

dynamic

driver

assistance

switch is turned off, the indicator

O

1

on the

switch is off. The indicator will also be off if
the I-LI system is deactivated using the ve-
hicle information display.

The I-LI system warns the driver with an
indicator and a chime, and helps assist the
driver to return the vehicle to the center of
the traveling lane by applying the brakes to
the left or right wheels individually (for a
short period of time). For additional infor-
mation, see “Intelligent Lane Intervention
(I-LI)” (P. 5-30) and “Vehicle information dis-
play” (P. 2-17).

The vehicle should be driven with the VDC
system on for most driving conditions.

If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is de-
pressed to the floor. If maximum engine
power is needed to free a stuck vehicle,
turn the VDC system off.

To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The

indicator light will

come on.

When the VDC OFF switch is used to turn off
the VDC system, the Intelligent Trace Con-
trol, Active Ride Control, Automatic Emer-
gency Braking (AEB) with Pedestrian Detec-
tion and Rear Automatic Braking (RAB)
systems are also turned off. For additional
information, see “Integrated Dynamics-

The Rear Door Alert system functions un-
der certain conditions to indicate there
may be an object or passenger in the rear
seat(s). Check the seat(s) before exiting the
vehicle.

The Rear Door Alert system is initially dis-
abled. The driver can enable the system
using the vehicle information display. For
additional information, see “Vehicle infor-
mation display warnings and indicators”
(P. 2-26).

When the system is enabled:
• The system is activated when a rear door

is opened and closed within 10 minutes of
the vehicle being driven. When the driver
door is closed and the system is acti-
vated, a visual message appears in the
vehicle information display. For additional
information, see “Rear Door Alert is acti-
vated” (P. 2-26).

• If a rear door is opened and closed but

the vehicle is not driven within approxi-
mately 10 minutes, the system will not be
activated. A rear door must be opened
and closed and the car driven within 10
minutes for the system to activate.

When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated:
• When the driver puts the vehicle in the P

(Park) position, a notification message
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play with the options to “Dismiss Mes-
sage” or “Disable Alert” if desired.

• Select “Disable Alert” to temporarily

disable for that stop.

• No selection or ‘Dismiss Message” will

keep the alert enabled for that stop.

• If the alert is enabled when a driver exits

the vehicle, a message will appear in the
vehicle information display that states
“Check Rear Seat for All Articles.”

If “Horn & Alert” setting is selected:

• An audible horn sound will occur after

a short time unless a rear door is
opened and closed within a short time
to deactivate the alert.

• If the doors are locked before the alert

is deactivated by opening a rear door,
the horn will sound.

• If the trunk is opened before a rear

door is opened, the horn will be de-
layed until after the trunk is closed.

REAR DOOR ALERT

Instruments and controls

2-57

NOTE:

If “Alert Only” setting is selected, the
message alert will still be shown in the
vehicle information display but the horn
will not sound.

WARNING

•

If the driver selects “Disable Alert”, no
audible alert will be provided regard-
less of rear door open/close status.

•

There may be times when there is an
object or passenger in the rear
seat(s) but the audible alert does not
sound. For example, this may occur if
rear seat passengers enter or exit the
vehicle during a trip.

•

The system does not directly detect
objects or passengers in the rear
seat(s). Instead, it can detect when a
rear door is opened and closed, indi-
cating that there may be something
in the rear seat(s).

NOTE:

There may be times when the horn
sounds but there are no objects or pas-
sengers in the rear seat(s).

For additional information, see “Rear Door
Alert is activated” (P. 2-26)
