TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, try the following solutions.

Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until the problem is resolved.

Symptom

Solution

The system fails to interpret the command
correctly.

1. Ensure that the command format is valid. (See “List of voice commands” (P.4-56).)

2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.

3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle.

4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on).
NOTE: If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.

5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.

6. If the system consistently fails to recognize commands, the voice training procedure should be carried out to improve the
recognition response for the speaker. (See “Speaker Adaptation (SA) mode” (P.4-59).)

The system consistently selects the
wrong entry from the phone book.

1. Ensure that the phone book entry name requested matches what was originally stored. This can be confirmed by using the
“List Names” command. (See “List of voice commands” (P.4-56).)

2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

Starting and driving

WARNING

. Do not leave children or adults who

would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent op-
eration 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, unse-
cured cargo could cause personal
injury.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)

WARNING

. Do not breathe exhaust gases; they

contain colorless and odorless car-
bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is
dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.

. If you suspect that exhaust fumes

are entering the vehicle, drive with
all windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.

. Do not run the engine in closed

spaces such as a garage.

. Do not park the vehicle with the

engine running for any extended
length of time.

. Keep the back door closed while

driving, otherwise exhaust gases
could be drawn into the passenger
compartment. If you must drive with
the back door open, follow these
precautions:

1) Open all the windows.

2) Set the

air recirculation to

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

. If electrical wiring or other cable

connections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the back door or
the body, follow the manufacturer’s
recommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.

. If a special body, camper or other

equipment is added for recreational
or other usage, follow the manufac-
turer’s recommendation to prevent
carbon monoxide entry into the
vehicle. (Some recreational vehicle
appliances such as stoves, refrig-
erators, heaters, etc. may also gen-
erate carbon monoxide.)

. The exhaust system and body

should be inspected by a qualified
mechanic whenever:

— The vehicle is raised for service.

— You suspect that exhaust fumes

are entering into the passenger
compartment.

— You notice a change in the

sound of the exhaust system.

— You have had an accident invol-

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

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
AND DRIVING

THREE-WAY CATALYST

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

WARNING

. The exhaust gas and the exhaust

system are very hot. Keep people,
animals or flammable materials
away from the exhaust system com-
ponents.

. 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. Depos-

its from leaded gasoline will ser-
i o u s l y r e d u c e

t h e t h r e e - w a y

catalyst’s ability to help reduce ex-
haust pollutants.

. Keep your engine tuned up. Mal-

functions in the ignition, fuel injec-

tion, or electrical systems can cause
overrich fuel flow into the three-way
catalyst, causing it to overheat. Do
not keep driving if the engine mis-
fires, or if noticeable loss of perfor-
mance or other unusual operating
conditions are detected. Have the
vehicle inspected promptly by a
NISSAN dealer.

. Avoid driving with an extremely low

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

. Do not race the engine while warm-

ing it up.

. Do not push or tow your vehicle to

start the engine.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
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
possible, 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 effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire

should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
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

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
possible, 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 effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for

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 combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunction indi-
cator 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, including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
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

. 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 pressure (for example a

flat tire while driving).

. The low tire pressure warning light does not

automatically turn off when the tire pressure
is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the
recommended pressure, the vehicle must be
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h)
to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire
pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure
gauge to check the tire pressure.

. The CHECK TIRE PRES (pressure) warning

message is displayed in the vehicle informa-
tion display when the low tire pressure
warning light is illuminated and low tire
pressure is detected. The CHECK TIRE
PRES warning message turns off when the
low tire pressure warning light turns off. The
low tire pressure warning light remains
illuminated until the tires are inflated to the
recommended COLD tire pressure. The
CHECK TIRE PRES warning message is
displayed each time the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position as long as the low
tire pressure warning light remains illumi-
nated. (See “Check tire pressure warning
message” (P.2-6).)

. The CHECK TIRE PRES warning message

is not displayed if the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates to indicate a TPMS
malfunction.

. Tire pressure rises and falls depending on

the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation
and the outside temperature. 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 illuminates in
low ambient temperature, check the tire
pressure for all four tires.

For additional information, see “Low tire pres-
sure warning light” (P.2-14) and “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.6-3).

WARNING

. 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 possi-
ble. Driving with under-inflated tires
may permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire
failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in serious
personal injury. Check the tire pres-

off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possi-
ble. Driving with under-inflated tires
may permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire

could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in serious
personal injury. Check the tire pres-

sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD
tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire as soon as possi-
ble. (See “Flat tire” (P.6-3) for chan-
ging a flat tire.)

. When a spare tire is mounted or a

wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 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.

. Replacing tires with those not ori-

ginally 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 pressure sensors.

CAUTION

. The TPMS may not function properly

when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried
in snow.

. Do not place metalized film or any

metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the
windows. This may cause poor re-
ception of the signals from the tire
pressure sensors, and the TPMS will
not function properly.

Some devices and transmitters may temporarily
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 similar

radio frequencies are near the vehicle.

. If a transmitter set to similar frequencies 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.

result in a collision with other vehicles or
objects, or cause the vehicle to rollover,
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 influence of alcohol or drugs
(including prescription or over-the-counter
drugs which may cause drowsiness). Always
wear your seat belt as outlined in the “Seat
belts” (P.1-11) of this manual, and also instruct
your passengers to do so.

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

If the right side or left side wheels leave the road
surface, maintain control of the vehicle by
following the procedure below. 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 accel-

erator pedal to gradually slow the vehicle.

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

vehicle to follow the road while the 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 return to the
road surface. When all tires are on the road
surface, steer the vehicle to stay in the
appropriate driving lane.

.

If you decide that it is not safe to return

the vehicle to the road surface based on
vehicle, road or traffic conditions, gradu-
ally 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 handling
and stability of the vehicle, especially at highway
speeds.

Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by main-
taining the correct air pressure and visually

inspect the tires for wear and damage. See
“Wheels and tires” (P.8-30) 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
vehicle 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
pressure. 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 accelera-

tor pedal.

. Do not rapidly turn the steering

wheel.

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.

Starting and driving

result in a collision with other vehicles or
objects, or cause the vehicle to rollover,
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 influence of alcohol or drugs
(including prescription or over-the-counter
drugs which may cause drowsiness). Always
wear your seat belt as outlined in the “Seat
belts” (P.1-11) of this manual, and also instruct
your passengers to do so.

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.

6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and

either contact a roadside emergency service
to change the tire or see “Changing a flat
tire” (P.6-3) of this Owner’s Manual.

DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING

WARNING

Never drive under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Alcohol in the blood-
stream reduces coordination, delays
reaction time and impairs judgement.
Driving after drinking alcohol increases
the likelihood of being involved in an
accident injuring yourself and others.
Additionally, if you are injured in an
accident, alcohol can increase the se-
verity of the injury.

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

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

WARNING

Never remove or turn the key to the
LOCK position while driving. This may
cause the driver to lose control of the
vehicle and could result in serious
vehicle damage or personal injury.
