Nissan NV Passenger Van (2018 year). Instruction — part 17

Operating tips

To get the best performance out of NISSAN
Voice Recognition, observe the following:

∙ Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet

as possible. Close the windows to elimi-
nate the surrounding noises (traffic
noises, vibration sounds, etc.), which
may prevent the system from recogniz-
ing the voice commands correctly.

∙ Wait until a tone sounds before speak-

ing a command. Otherwise, the com-
mand will not be received properly.

∙ Start speaking a command within

3.5 seconds after the tone sounds.

∙ Speak in a natural voice without paus-

ing between words.

SYSTEM FEATURES

NISSAN Voice Recognition can activate the
following systems:

∙ Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System

∙ Navigation

∙ Audio

∙ Information

∙ My Apps (if so equipped)

For additional information, refer to the
separate NissanConnect® Owner’s Manual.

How to say numbers

NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a cer-
tain way to speak numbers in voice com-
mands. Refer to the following examples.

General rule: Either “zero” or “oh” can be
used for “0”.

Phone numbers

Speak phone numbers according to the
following example. For 1-800-662-6200, say
dial number and then speak the phone
number in any of the following formats:

∙ “one eight oh oh six six two six two oh

oh”

∙ “one eight hundred six six two six two oh

oh”

∙ “one eight zero zero six six two six two

oh oh”

For the best voice recognition phone dial-
ing results, say phone numbers as single
digits. Also, full numbers can only be spo-
ken for “800”. For example, you cannot say
555-6000 as “five five five six thousand”.

WARNING

∙ Do not leave children or adults who

would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be left alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.

∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or

straps to help prevent it from sliding
or shifting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)

WARNING

∙ Do not breathe exhaust gases; they

contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
or death.

∙ Always keep the doors closed when

driving the vehicle. Do not drive with
the doors open and do not attempt to
transport long cargo by driving with
the doors open. Doing so can damage
the doors and door hinges. Cargo may
also fall out of the vehicle which may
cause

serious

personal

injury

death.

∙ If you suspect that exhaust fumes are

entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the ve-
hicle inspected immediately.

∙ Do not run the engine in closed spaces

such as a garage.

∙ Do not park the vehicle with the en-

gine running for any extended length
of time.

∙ Keep the doors closed while driving,

otherwise exhaust gases could be
drawn into the passenger compart-
ment. If you must drive with this open,
follow these precautions:

1. Open all the windows.

2. Set the

air recirculation but-

ton to off and the fan control dial to
high to circulate the air.

∙ If electrical wiring or other cable con-

nections

must

pass

trailer

through the seal on the body, follow
the manufacturer’s recommendation
to prevent carbon monoxide entry
into the vehicle.

∙ The exhaust system and body should

be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:

a. The vehicle is raised for service.

b. You suspect that exhaust fumes

are entering into the passenger
compartment.

c. You notice a change in the sound of

the exhaust system.

d. You have had an accident involving

damage to the exhaust system,
underbody, or rear of the vehicle.

THREE-WAY CATALYST

The three-way catalyst is an emission con-
trol device installed in the exhaust system.
Exhaust gases in the three-way catalyst
are burned at high temperatures to help
reduce pollutants.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND
DRIVING

5-2

Starting and driving

WARNING

∙ The exhaust gas and the exhaust sys-

tem are very hot. Keep people, ani-
mals or flammable materials away
from

the

exhaust

system

components.

∙ 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.

CAUTION

∙ Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits

from leaded gasoline will seriously re-
duce the three-way catalyst’s ability
to help reduce exhaust pollutants.

∙ Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunc-

tions in the ignition, fuel injection, or
electrical systems can cause overrich
fuel flow into the three-way catalyst,
causing it to overheat. Do not keep
driving if the engine misfires, or if no-
ticeable loss of performance or other
unusual operating conditions are de-
tected. Have the vehicle inspected
promptly. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

∙ Avoid driving with an extremely low

fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, damag-
ing the three-way catalyst.

∙ Do not race the engine while warming

it up.

∙ Do not push or tow your vehicle to

start the engine.

DRIVING PRECAUTIONS

Utility

vehicles

have

significantly

higher rollover rate than other types of
vehicles.

They have larger tires and higher ground
clearance than passenger cars to make
them capable of performing in a variety of
applications. This gives them a higher cen-
ter of gravity than ordinary cars. An advan-
tage of higher ground clearance is a better
view of the road, allowing you to anticipate
problems. However, they are not designed
for cornering at the same speeds as con-
ventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more
than low-slung sports cars are designed to
perform satisfactorily under off-road con-
ditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns
at high speeds. As with other vehicles of
this type, failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly may result in loss of control or vehicle

rollover. In a rollover crash, an unbelted per-
son is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.

A loaded vehicle with a higher center of
gravity may handle differently than an un-
loaded vehicle. The risk of loss of control or
vehicle rollover increases as more cargo is
loaded in the vehicle. The risk increases
because the cargo placed in the vehicle
raises the vehicle’s center of gravity. As a
result, the van handles differently from
other ordinary passenger vehicles and it
has less resistance to rollover which can
make it more difficult to control in an emer-
gency situation. Placing any load on the
roof also raises the center of gravity and
increases the potential for rollover. Do not
overload your vehicle and make sure the
load is evenly distributed.

To reduce the risk of loss of control or ve-
hicle rollover drive at slower speed, avoid
abrupt steering changes and increase
your following distance and allow for in-
creased stopping distance.

Be sure to read the driving safety precau-
tions in this section.

Starting and driving

5-3

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible, and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substi-
tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain cor-
rect tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately
1 minute and then remain continuously illu-
minated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the malfunc-
tion indicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, includ-
ing the installation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.

Additional information

∙ When replacing a wheel without the

TPMS such as the spare tire, the TPMS
does not monitor the tire pressure of
the spare tire.

∙ The TPMS will activate only when the

vehicle is driven at speeds above
16 mph (25 km/h). Also, this system may
not detect a sudden drop in tire pres-
sure (for example, a flat tire while driv-
ing).

∙ The low tire pressure warning light does

not automatically turn off when the tire
pressure is adjusted. After all your tires
are inflated to the recommended pres-
sure, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h) to acti-
vate the TPMS and turn off the low tire
pressure warning light. Use a tire pres-
sure gauge to check the tire pressure.

∙ The TIRE PRES warning appears in the

trip computer when the low tire pres-
sure warning light is illuminated and
low tire pressure is detected. The TIRE
PRES warning turns off when the low
tire pressure warning light turns off.

5-4

Starting and driving

∙ The TIRE PRES warning does not appear

if the low tire pressure warning light illu-
minates to indicate a TPMS malfunc-
tion. Instead, TPMS ERROR will appear in
the trip computer.

∙ Tire pressure rises and falls depending

on the heat caused by the vehicle’s op-
eration and the outside temperature.
Do not reduce the tire pressure after
driving because the tire pressure rises
after driving. Low outside temperature
can lower the temperature of the air
inside the tire which can cause a lower
tire inflation pressure. This may cause
the low tire pressure warning light to
illuminate. If the warning light illumi-
nates, check the tire pressure for all four
tires.

∙ The Tire and Loading Information label

is located in the driver’s door opening.

For additional information, refer to “Low tire
pressure warning light” in the “Instruments
and controls” section and “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “In case of
emergency” section of this manual.

WARNING

∙ Radio waves could adversely affect

electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the

electric

medical

equipment

manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.

∙ If the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
the vehicle as soon as possible. Driv-
ing with under-inflated tires may per-
manently damage the tires and in-
crease the likelihood of tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and could
result

serious

personal

injury.

Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation label to turn the low tire pres-
sure warning light off. If you have a flat
tire, replace it with a spare tire as soon
as possible. (For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Flat tire” in the “In case of
emergency” section of this manual.)

∙ When replacing a wheel without the

TPMS such as the spare tire, when a
spare tire is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, tire pressure will not be indi-
cated, 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.
Have your tires replaced and/or TPMS
system reset as soon as possible. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

∙ Replacing tires with those not origi-

nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.

∙ Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol

tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pres-
sure sensors.

CAUTION

Do not place metalized film or any
metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the win-
dows. This may cause poor reception of
the signals from the tire pressure sen-
sors, and the TPMS will not function
properly.

Starting and driving

5-5

Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of the
TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate.

Some examples are:

∙ Facilities or electric devices using simi-

lar radio frequencies are near the ve-
hicle.

∙ If a transmitter set to similar frequen-

cies is being used in or near the vehicle.

∙ If a computer (or similar equipment) or

a DC/AC converter is being used in or
near the vehicle.

The low tire pressure warning light may
illuminate in the following cases:

∙ If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel

and tire without TPMS.

∙ If the TPMS has been replaced and the

ID has not been registered.

∙ If the wheel is not originally specified by

NISSAN.

AVOIDING COLLISION AND
ROLLOVER

WARNING

Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe
and prudent manner may result in loss
of control or an accident.

Be alert and drive defensively at all times.
Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive
speed, high speed cornering, or sudden
steering maneuvers, because these driving
practices could cause you to lose control of
your vehicle.

As with any vehicle, loss of control could
result in a collision with other vehicles or
objects or cause the vehicle to roll over,
particularly if the loss of control causes
the vehicle to slide sideways.

Be attentive at all times, and avoid driving
when tired. Never drive when under the in-
fluence 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 sys-
tem” section of this manual, and also in-
struct your passengers to do so.

5-6

Starting and driving

Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in
collisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash,
an unbelted or improperly belted person
is significantly more likely to be injured
or killed than a person properly wearing
a seat belt.

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 following the procedure be-
low. Please note that this procedure is only
a general guide. The vehicle must be driven
as appropriate based on the conditions of
the vehicle, road and traffic.

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.

2. Do not apply the brakes.

3. Maintain a firm grip on the steering

wheel with both hands and try to hold a
straight course.

4. When appropriate, slowly release the

accelerator pedal to gradually slow the
vehicle.

5. If there is nothing in the way, steer the

vehicle to follow the road while vehicle
speed is reduced. Do not attempt to

drive the vehicle back onto the road
surface until vehicle speed is reduced.

6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turn

the steering wheel until both tires re-
turn to the road surface. When all tires
are on the road surface, steer the ve-
hicle to stay in the appropriate driving
lane.

∙ If you decide that it is not safe to re-

turn the vehicle to the road surface
based on vehicle, road or traffic con-
ditions, gradually slow the vehicle to a
stop in a safe place off the road.

RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSS

Rapid air pressure loss or a “blow-out” can
occur if the tire is punctured or is damaged
due to hitting a curb or pothole. Rapid air
pressure loss can also be caused by driving
on under-inflated tires.

Rapid air pressure loss can affect the han-
dling and stability of the vehicle, especially
at highway speeds.

Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by
maintaining the correct air pressure and
visually inspecting the tires for wear and
damage. For additional information, refer
to “Wheels and tires” in the “Do-it-yourself ”
section of this manual. If a tire rapidly loses

air pressure or “blows-out” while driving,
maintain control of the vehicle by following
the procedure below. Please note that this
procedure is only a general guide. The ve-
hicle must be driven as appropriate based
on the conditions of the vehicle, road and
traffic.

WARNING

The following actions can increase the
chance of losing control of the vehicle if
there is a sudden loss of tire air pres-
sure. Losing control of the vehicle may
cause a collision and result in personal
injury.

∙ The vehicle generally moves or pulls

in the direction of the flat tire.

∙ Do not rapidly apply the brakes.

∙ Do not rapidly release the accelerator

pedal.

∙ Do not rapidly turn the steering wheel.

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.

2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering

wheel with both hands and try to hold a
straight course.

Starting and driving

5-7

3. When appropriate, slowly release the

accelerator pedal to gradually slow the
vehicle.

4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe

location off the road and away from
traffic if possible.

5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradu-

ally stop the vehicle.

6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers

and contact a roadside emergency
service to change the tire. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Changing a
flat tire” in the “In case of emergency”
section of this manual.

DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING

WARNING

Never drive under the influence of alco-
hol or drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream
reduces coordination, delays reaction
time and impairs judgement. Driving
after drinking alcohol increases the
likelihood of being involved in an acci-
dent injuring yourself and others. Addi-
tionally, if you are injured in an accident,
alcohol can increase the severity of the
injury.

NISSAN is committed to safe driving. How-
ever, you must choose not to drive under the
influence of alcohol. Every year thousands of
people are injured or killed in alcohol-related
collisions. Although the local laws vary on
what is considered to be legally intoxicated,
the fact is that alcohol affects all people dif-
ferently and most people underestimate
the effects of alcohol.

Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix!
That is true for drugs (over-the-counter,
prescription) and illegal drugs, too. Don’t
drive if your ability to operate your vehicle is
impaired by alcohol, drugs, or some other
physical condition.

WARNING

∙ Never remove the ignition key or place

the ignition switch in the LOCK posi-
tion while driving. The steering wheel
will lock. This may cause the driver to
lose control of the vehicle and could
result in serious vehicle damage or
personal injury.

IGNITION SWITCH

5-8

Starting and driving

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

The ignition lock is designed so the ignition
switch cannot be placed in the LOCK posi-
tion and the key cannot be removed until
the shift lever is moved to the P (Park) po-
sition.

When removing the key from the ignition
switch, make sure the shift lever is in the P
(Park) position.

If the shift lever is not returned to the P
(Park) position, the ignition switch cannot
be placed in the LOCK position.

To remove the key from the ignition switch:

1. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) posi-

tion with the ignition switch in the ON
position.

2. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK

position.

3. Remove the key from the ignition

switch.

If the shift lever is moved to the P (Park)
position after the ignition switch is placed
in the OFF position or when the ignition
switch cannot be placed in the LOCK posi-
tion, proceed as follows to remove the key.

1. Move the shift lever into the P (Park)

position.

2. Place the ignition switch slightly to-

ward the ON position.

3. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK

position.

4. Remove the key.

The shift lever is designed so it cannot
move out of P (Park) and into any of the
other gear positions if the ignition switch is
placed in the OFF position or if the key is
removed from the switch.

The shift lever can be moved if the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position and the
foot brake pedal is depressed.

There is an OFF position between the
LOCK and ON positions. The OFF position
is indicated by a “1” on the ignition
switch. For models without NISSAN Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System, when the igni-
tion switch is in the OFF position, the
steering wheel is not locked.

In order for the steering wheel to be locked,
it must be turned about 1/8 of a turn clock-
wise from the straight up position.

To lock the steering wheel, turn the igni-
tion to the LOCK position. Remove the
key. To unlock the steering wheel, insert
the key and turn it gently while rotating
the steering wheel slightly right and left.

If the key will not turn from the LOCK
position, turn the steering wheel to the
left or right while turning the key to un-
lock the key cylinder.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM (if so equipped)

The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of the registered key.

If the engine fails to start using a registered
key (for example, when interference is
caused by another registered key, an auto-
mated toll road device or automatic pay-
ment device on the key ring), restart the
engine using the following procedures:

1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON po-

sition for approximately 5 seconds.

2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or

LOCK 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 in-
terference) separate from the regis-
tered key.

If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN
recommends placing the registered key on
a separate key ring to avoid interference
from other devices.

∙ Make sure the area around the vehicle is

clear.

∙ Check fluid levels such as engine oil,

coolant, brake fluid, and windshield-
washer fluid as frequently as possible,
or at least whenever you refuel.

∙ Check that all windows and lights are

clean.

∙ Visually inspect tires for their appear-

ance and condition. Also check tires for
proper inflation.

∙ Check that all doors are closed.

∙ Position

seat

and

adjust

head

restraints/headrests.

∙ Adjust inside and outside mirrors.

∙ Fasten seat belts and ask all passen-

gers to do likewise.

∙ Check the operation of warning lights

when the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position. For additional information,
refer to “Warning lights, indicator lights
and audible reminders” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this
manual.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

5-10

Starting and driving

1. Apply the parking brake.

2. Move the shift lever to P (Park) or

N (Neutral). P (Park) is recommended.

The shift lever cannot be moved out
of P (Park) and into any of the other
gear positions if the ignition switch
is turned to the OFF position or if the
key is removed from the ignition
switch.

The starter is designed not to oper-
ate if the shift lever is in any of the
driving positions.

3. Crank the engine with your foot off

the accelerator pedal by placing the
ignition switch in the START position.
Release the key when the engine
starts. If the engine starts, but fails to
run, repeat the above procedure.

∙ If the engine is very hard to start in

extremely cold weather or when re-
starting, depress

the

accelerator

pedal a little (approximately 1/3 to the
floor) and hold it and then crank the
engine. Release the key and the ac-
celerator pedal when the engine
starts.

∙ If the engine is very hard to start be-

cause it is flooded, depress the accel-

erator pedal all the way to the floor
and hold it. Crank the engine for
5–6 seconds. After cranking the en-
gine, release the accelerator pedal.
Crank the engine with your foot off
the accelerator pedal by turning the
ignition key to the START position. Re-
lease the key when the engine starts.
If the engine starts, but fails to run,
repeat the above procedure.

CAUTION

Do not operate the starter for more
than 15 seconds at a time. If the engine
does not start, turn the key to the OFF
position and wait 10 seconds before
cranking again, otherwise the starter
could be damaged.

4. Allow the engine to idle for at least

30 seconds after starting. Do not race
the engine while warming it up. Drive at
a moderate speed for a short distance
first, especially in cold weather.

In cold weather, keep the engine run-
ning for a minimum of 2–3 minutes
before shutting it off. Starting and
stopping the engine over a short pe-
riod of time may make the vehicle
more difficult to start.

NOTE:

Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery dis-
charge and potential no-start conditions
such as:

1. Installation or extended use of elec-

tronic accessories that consume bat-
tery power when the engine is not
running (phone chargers, GPS, DVD
players, etc.).

2. The vehicle is not driven regularly

and/or only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need
to be charged to maintain battery
health.
