PROPILOT ASSIST INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL (ICC)
The set speed range is between approximately 20 and 90 mph (32 and 144 km/h).
To accelerate or decelerate your vehicle to the desired speed, push the
RES+ switch 2 or SET- switch 4 and release it.
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead, the ICC system controls the vehicle
speed to maintain the distance from the vehicle ahead set by the driver.

Once the vehicle ahead stops, the ICC system will stop your vehicle and apply
the brakes to keep the vehicle stopped.
When the vehicle ahead accelerates, push and release the RES+ switch 2 or
depress the accelerator pedal. The ICC system starts to follow the vehicle ahead.
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead due to rapid deceleration of that
vehicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the system warns the driver with a chime and
ICC system display. The driver must control the vehicle to prevent a collision.
STEERING ASSIST
The Steering Assist system assists the driving operation to help keep the vehicle
within the traveling lane.
• Lane markers must be clear and consistent on both sides of the vehicle.
• This feature will operate when vehicle speed is above 37 mph (60 km/h).
• Below 37 mph (60 km/h), ProPILOT Assist must detect a vehicle ahead in order
for steering assistance to activate.
Steering Assist provides a warning, is canceled or temporarily goes into standby
mode under the following conditions:
• The turn signals are activated.
• Both hands are not detected on the steering wheel. Simply apply more
pressure or a tighter grip on the steering wheel.
• The wipers are in LO or HI speed position.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
WITH EASY-FILL TIRE ALERT
A Tire Pressure Low - Add Air warning message will
appear in the vehicle information display 1 and the
low tire pressure warning light 2 will illuminate when
one or more tires are low in pressure and air is needed.
1
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS
with Easy-Fill Tire Alert system provides visual and
audible signals to help you inflate the tire to the recommended
COLD tire pressure.
To use the Easy-Fill Tire Alert system:
1. Apply the parking brake and push the P (Park) switch on the
shift lever.
2
2. Place the power switch in the ON position. Do not place the power switch in
the READY to drive mode.

warning lights will flash.
4. When the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the
hazard warning lights will stop flashing.
5. Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above
16 mph (25 km/h) and the warning message and warning light will extinguish.
When the low tire pressure warning light 2 flashes for approximately 1 minute
and then remains on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a Nissan dealer for this service.
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 2 to illuminate.
If the warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in your tires.
The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please
refer to the “Technical and consumer information (section 9)” of your Owner’s
Manual for the location of the Tire and Loading Information label.
Please see your Owner’s Manual for important safety information, system limitations, and additional
