NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY™ WITHOUT DOOR AND TRUNK REQUEST SWITCHES

WARNING

● Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those who use a pacemaker should contact the electric medical equipment manufac- turer for the possible influences before use.

● The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves when the buttons are pressed. The FAA advises the radio waves may affect aircraft navigation and communi- cation systems. Do not operate the In- telligent Key while on an airplane. Make sure the buttons are not operated unin- tentionally when the unit is stored for a flight.

The Intelligent Key can operate all the door locks using the remote controller function. The operat- ing environment and/or conditions may affect the Intelligent Key operation.

Be sure to read the following before using the Intelligent Key.

CAUTION

● Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with

you when operating the vehicle.

● Never leave the Intelligent Key in the

vehicle when you leave the vehicle.

The Intelligent Key is always communicating with the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The Intel- ligent Key transmits weak radio waves. Environ- mental conditions may interfere with the opera- tion of the Intelligent Key under the following operating conditions: ● When operating near a location where strong radio waves are transmitted, such as a TV tower, power station and broadcasting station.

● When in possession of wireless equipment, such as a cellular telephone, transceiver, and CB radio.

● When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or

covered by metallic materials.

● When any type of radio wave remote control

is used nearby.

● When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric appliance such as a personal com- puter.

● When the vehicle is parked near a parking

meter.

In such cases, correct the operating conditions before using the Intelligent Key function or use the mechanical key.

Although the life of the battery varies depending on the operating conditions, the battery’s life is approximately 2 years. the battery is dis- charged, replace it with a new one.

If

When the Intelligent Key battery is almost dis- charged, insert the Intelligent Key into the Intelli- gent Key port to start the engine. Replace the discharged battery with a new one as soon as possible. For more details, see “Push-button ig- nition switch” in the “Starting and driving” sec- tion.

Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiving radio waves, if the key is left near equipment which transmits strong radio waves, such as sig- nals from a TV and personal computer, the bat- tery life may become shorter.

For information regarding replacement of a bat- tery, see “Battery replacement” in the “Mainte- nance and do-it-yourself” section.

As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered and used with one vehicle. For information about the purchase and use of additional Intelligent Keys, contact a NISSAN dealer.

REARVIEW MONITOR (if so equipped)

When the shift selector is shifted into the R (Reverse) position, the monitor display shows the view directly to the rear of the vehicle.

WARNING

● The system is designed as an aid to the driver in detecting large stationary ob- jects to help avoid damaging the ve- hicle. The system will not detect small objects below the bumper, and may not detect objects close to the bumper or on the ground.

● The RearView Monitor is a convenience but it is not a substitute for proper back- ing. Always turn and check that it is safe to do so before backing up. Always back up slowly.

● Objects viewed in the RearView Moni- tor differ from actual distance because a wide-angle lens is used.

● Make sure that the trunk is securely

closed when backing up.

● Do not put anything on the rearview camera. The rearview camera is in- stalled beside the license plate light.

● When washing the vehicle with high- pressure water, be sure not to spray it around the camera. Otherwise, water may enter the camera unit causing wa- ter condensation on the lens, a mal- function, fire or an electric shock.

● Do not strike the camera. It is a preci- sion instrument. Otherwise, it may mal- function or cause damage resulting in a fire or an electric shock.

CAUTION

There is a plastic cover over the camera. Do not scratch the cover when cleaning dirt or snow from the cover. HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED LINES Lines which indicate the vehicle clearance and distances to objects with reference to the bumper line 䊊A are displayed on the monitor.

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems 4-13

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTED AND ACTUAL DISTANCES The distance guide line and the vehicle width guide 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 reference only and may be different than the actual distance between the vehicle and displayed objects.

LHA0437
They are indicated as reference distances to objects. The lines and colors in the display indi- cate distances from the back bumper line 䊊A in the illustration. 䊊1 1.5 ft (0.5 m) red 䊊2 3 ft (1 m) yellow 䊊3 7 ft (2 m) green 䊊4 10 ft (3 m) green The vehicle clearance lines are wider than the actual clearance.

● Do not adjust the Brightness or Contrast of the RearView Monitor while the vehicle is moving.

For vehicles with a touch screen (Type B): ● To adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Display ON/OFF and Color of the RearView Moni- tor, press the SETTING button and then select the “Display” key with the RearView Monitor on. When the display adjustment screen appears, touch the “–” or “+” key on the desired item and adjust the level.

● Do not adjust the Brightness, Contrast, and Color of the RearView Monitor while the vehicle is moving. OPERATING TIPS ● When the shift selector is shifted to R (Re- verse), the monitor screen automatically changes to the RearView Monitor mode. However, the radio can be heard.

● It may take some time until the RearView Monitor is displayed after the shift selector has been shifted to R (Reverse). Objects may be distorted momentarily until the Rear- View Monitor screen is displayed com- pletely. When the shift selector is returned to a position other than R (Reverse), it may take some time until the screen changes. Objects on the screen may be distorted until they are completely displayed.

● When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not clearly display ob- jects. This is not a malfunction.

● When strong light directly enters the cam-

era, objects may not be displayed clearly.

● Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the screen. This is due to strong reflected light from the bumper. This is not a malfunction. ● The screen may flicker under fluorescent

light. This is not a malfunction.

● The colors of objects on the RearView Moni- tor may differ somewhat from those of the actual object.

● When the contrast of objects is low at night, pressing the SETTING button or ENTER button may not change the brightness.

ADJUSTING THE SCREEN The procedure for adjusting the quality of the screen differs depending on the type of screen present on the vehicle.

For vehicles without a touch screen (Type A): ● To adjust

the Brightness and Contrast, press the ENTER button on the audio sys- tem repeatedly until the desired setting is displayed. Use the TUNE/SCROLL knob to adjust the display to the desired level.

VENTS

● Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a

dark place or at night.

● If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera, the RearView Monitor may not display ob- jects. Clean the camera.

● Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean the camera. This will cause discolora- tion. To clean the camera, wipe with a cloth dampened with a diluted mild cleaning agent and then wipe with a dry cloth.

● Do not damage the camera as the monitor

screen may be adversely affected.

● Do not use body wax on the camera window. If body wax does get on the camera window, wipe off the wax with a clean cloth damp- ened with mild detergent diluted with water.
