Nissan Frontier (2023 year). Manual in english — page 14

CAUTION

When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or other strong radio wave
sources are present near the operating
location, the Intelligent Key operating
range becomes narrower, and the Intel-
ligent Key may not function properly.

The Remote Engine Start function can only
be used when the Intelligent Key is within
the specified operating range from the
vehicle.

The Remote Engine Start operating range
is approximately 16 ft (5 m) from the vehicle.

REMOTE STARTING THE VEHICLE

To use the Remote Engine Start feature
perform the following:

1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.

2. Press the

button to lock all doors.

3. Within 5 seconds press and hold the

button until the turn signal lights

flash and the tail lamps turn on. If the
vehicle is not within view press and hold
the

button for at least 2 seconds.

The following events will occur when the
engine starts:
• The parking lights will turn on and remain

on as long as the engine is running.

• The doors will be locked and the climate

control system may come on.

• The engine will continue to run for 10 min-

utes. Repeat the steps to extend the time
for an additional 10 minutes. For addi-
tional information, see “Extending engine
run time” (P. 3-19).

Press and hold the brake pedal while
switching the ignition to the ON position
before driving. For additional information,
see “Driving the vehicle” (P. 5-18).

EXTENDING ENGINE RUN TIME

The Remote Engine Start feature can be
extended one time by performing the
steps listed in “Remote starting the vehicle”
(P. 3-19). Run time will be calculated as
follows:
• The first 10–minute run time will start

when the Remote Engine Start function is
performed.

• The second 10 minutes will start immedi-

ately when the Remote Engine Start
function is performed again. For example,
if the engine has been running for 5 min-
utes, and 10 minutes are added, the en-
gine will run for a total of 15 minutes.

• Extending engine run time will bring you

to the two Remote Engine Start limit.

A maximum of two Remote Engine Starts,
or a single start with an extension, are al-
lowed between ignition cycles.

The ignition switch must be cycled to the
ON position and then back to the OFF po-
sition before the Remote Engine Start pro-
cedure can be used again.

START

To cancel a Remote Engine Start, perform
one of the following:
• Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle and

press

until the parking lights turn off.

• Turn on the hazard indicator flashers.
• Cycle the ignition switch on and then off.
• The extended engine run time has

expired.

• The first 10–minute timer has expired.
• The engine hood has been opened.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

WARNING

•

Make sure the hood is completely
closed and latched before driving.
Failure to do so could cause the hood
to fly open and result in an accident.

•

If you see steam or smoke coming
from the engine compartment, to
avoid injury do not open the hood.

FUEL-FILLER CAP

WARNING

•

Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seri-
ously injured if it is misused or mis-
handled. Always stop the engine and
do not smoke or allow open flames
or sparks near the vehicle when
refueling.

•

Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically.

Continued

refueling

may cause fuel overflow, resulting in
fuel spray and possibly a fire.

•

Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It
could also cause the

Malfunc-

tion Indicator Light (MIL) to come on.

•

Never pour fuel into the throttle body
to attempt to start your vehicle.

•

Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable
fuel containers:

–

Always place the container on the

ground when filling.

–

Do not use electronic devices when

filling.

–

Keep the pump nozzle in contact

with the container while you are
filling it.

–

Use only approved portable fuel

containers for flammable liquid.

CAUTION

•

Do not use a fuel containing more
than 15% ethanol in your vehicle. For
additional information, see “Fuel rec-
ommendation” (P. 10-4).

•

The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning mes-
sage will be displayed if the fuel-filler
cap is not properly tightened. It may
take a few driving trips for the mes-
sage to be displayed. Failure to
tighten the fuel-filler cap properly af-
ter the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning
message is displayed may cause the

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

to illuminate.

•

Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly may cause the

Mal-

function Indicator Light (MIL) to illu-
minate. If the

light illuminates

because the fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle. The

light should turn off after a few

driving trips. If the

light does not

turn off after a few driving trips, have
the vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

•

For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” (P. 2-19).

•

If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage.

To remove the fuel-filler cap:

1. Turn the fuel-filler cap counterclockwise

to remove.

2. Loop the tether strap around the hook

O

while refueling.

To install the fuel-filler cap:

1. Insert the fuel-filler cap straight into the

fuel-filler tube.

2. Turn the fuel-filler cap clockwise until a

single click is heard .

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

Loose Fuel Cap warning

The Loose Fuel Cap warning appears in the
vehicle information display when the fuel-
filler cap is not tightened correctly after the
vehicle has been refueled. It may take a few
driving trips for the message to be dis-
played. To turn off the warning, perform the
following:

1. Remove and install the fuel-filler cap as

described above as soon as possible.

2. Tighten the fuel-filler cap until a single

click is heard.

WARNING

•

Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose control
of

your

vehicle

and

cause

an

accident.

•

Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and com-
fort. The driver's air bag inflates with
great force. If you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways or
out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive serious
or fatal injuries from the air bag if you
are up against it when it inflates. Al-
ways sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat
belts.

TILT OPERATION

Pull the lock lever toward the driver and
hold it to adjust the steering wheel up or
down to the desired position.

Release the lock lever to lock the steering
wheel in place.
