FUEL-FILLER CAP

WARNING

•

Gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive under certain
conditions. You could be burned or
seriously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. 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.

than 15% ethanol in your vehicle.
For additional information, see “Fuel
recommendation” (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
after 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 rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

•

For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” (P. 2-18).

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

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

WARNING

•

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Rear-
View Monitor system could result in
serious injury or death.

•

RearView Monitor is a convenience
feature and is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn and look
out the windows and check mirrors
to be sure that it is safe to move be-
fore operating the vehicle. Always
back up slowly.

•

The system is designed as an aid to
the driver in showing large station-
ary objects directly behind the ve-
hicle, to help avoid damaging the
vehicle.

•

The distance guide line and the ve-
hicle width line should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on
a level paved surface. The distance
viewed on the monitor is for refer-
ence only and may be different than
the actual distance between the ve-
hicle and displayed objects.

CAUTION

Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of
the camera.

The RearView Monitor system automati-
cally shows a rear view of the vehicle when
the shift lever is shifted into the R (Reverse)
position. While in R (Reverse), pressing the
CAMERA will cycle through guideline op-
tions. The radio can still be heard while the
RearView Monitor is active.

To display the rear view, the RearView Moni-
tor system uses a camera located just
above the vehicle’s license plate

on the

tailgate.

REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
OPERATION

With the ignition switch in the ON position,
move the shift lever to the R (Reverse)
position to operate the RearView Monitor.

HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES

Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle
width and distances to objects with refer-
ence to the vehicle body line

are dis-

played on the monitor.

Distance guide lines

Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
• Red line

: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)

• Yellow line

: approx. 3 ft (1 m)

• Green line

: approx. 7 ft (2 m)

Vehicle width guide lines

Indicate the vehicle width when backing
up.

Predicted course lines

Indicate the predicted course when back-
ing up. The predicted course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the shift
lever is in the R (Reverse) position and the
steering wheel is turned. The predicted
course lines will move depending on how
much the steering wheel is turned and will
not be displayed while the steering wheel is
in the straight-ahead position.

The vehicle width guide lines and the width
of the predicted course lines are wider than
the actual width and course.

Center guide lines

Indicates the vehicle’s center.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTED
AND ACTUAL DISTANCES

The displayed guidelines and their loca-
tions on the ground are for approximate
reference only. Objects on uphill or downhill
surfaces or projecting objects will be actu-
ally located at distances different from
those displayed in the monitor relative to
the guidelines (refer to illustrations). When
in doubt, turn around and view the objects
as you are backing up, or park and exit the
vehicle to view the positioning of objects
behind the vehicle.

Backing up on a steep uphill

When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
further than it appears on the monitor.

Backing up on a steep downhill

When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown farther than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
closer than it appears on the monitor.

Backing up near a projecting
object

The vehicle may seem to nearly clear the
object in the display. However, the vehicle
may hit the object if it projects over the
actual backing up course.
