REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKING SYSTEM
The rear differential locking system is designed to transmit engine power equally to the left-hand and right-hand rear wheels.
If your vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, snow, etc. and the differential lock is not activated, all engine power is transmitted to the wheel that encounters the least resistance, thus causing it to spin. In such case, switch on the rear differential locking system as follows:

1. Completely stop the vehicle.
2. Turn the 4WD mode switch to the <4LO> position.
3. Push the differential lock switch to the ON position. The differential lock indicator light will first blink and then remain on when the differential gear is locked.

FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM
The Forward Emergency Brake system assists you in avoiding frontal collisions. The system operates at speeds above approx. 5 km/h. The system uses a radar sensor behind the front bumper to calculate the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. If the distance becomes too small, the vehicle ahead indicator light will flash and a chime will sound. If the distance becomes even smaller, the beep will sound more frequently and the forward collision avoidance system warning light will start flashing. If finally the distance becomes even smaller, active braking will be applied to avoid or reduce the impact of a collision with the vehicle in front of you.

WARNING
The forward emergency brake system is a supplemental aid to the driver.
It is not a substitute for the driver’s attention to traffic conditions or his responsibility to drive safely. It cannot prevent accidents due to carelessness or dangerous driving.
The forward emergency brake system may not function under all driving, traffic, weather, and road conditions.
Note: Refer to your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for full details on the functioning of the Forward Emergency Brake system.

HILL START ASSIST
The Hill Start Assist (HSA) system automatically keeps the brakes applied for 2 seconds to prevent the vehicle from rolling as you start to drive away on a hill.
Hill Start Assist will operate automatically under the following conditions:

• The shift lever is shifted into a forward (vehicle facing uphill) or reverse (vehicle facing downhill) gear,
• The vehicle is stopped completely on a hill by applying the foot brake,
• The slope exceeds 3 degrees.

HILL DESCENT CONTROL
The Hill Descent Control system provides automatic additional braking on steep hills below 25-35 km/h, e.g. during off-road driving. It is a useful feature when engine braking alone is not sufficient to control the desired vehicle speed.

To most efficiently use the Hill Descent Control system:

1. Turn the 4WD mode switch to the <4LO> position.
2. Push the Hill Descent Control switch, located on the centre console, to the ON position; The Hill DescentControl light on the instrument panel will illuminate and the system will automatically maintain a low descending speed.

If you depress either the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal when the Hill Descent Control system is active, the system will be temporarily deactivated. As soon as you release the accelerator or brake pedal, the Hill Descent Control function will be restored.
To turn off the Hill Descent Control system, push the Hill Descent Control switch again; the indicator light on the instrument panel will turn off.

FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate level of fuel in the tank when the ignition is ON.
A low fuel warning appears on the vehicle information display when the fuel level in the tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient.

The arrow with the fuel pump symbol reminds you that the fuel-filler lid is located on the left hand side of the vehicle.

To open the fuel-filler lid, push the fuel-filler opener switch on the lower instrument panel. While refuelling, put the fuel filler cap on the cap holder as illustrated. After refueling, turn the fuel cap clockwise until you hear the ratchet clicks, and firmly close the fuel-filler lid.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
Driving conditions such as frequent short journeys or stop/start driving can result in excessive build up of carbon in the filter.
When this happens, the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) warning light will illuminate to inform you that the vehicle must be driven in a particular manner to start the regeneration of the DPF filter.
When the DPF warning light is illuminated, provided that legal and safety conditions allow, the vehicle should be driven at a speed of over 80 km/h until the DPF warning light turns off.

PARKING SENSOR SYSTEM

The parking sensor (sonar) system sounds a tone to inform you of objects near the rear bumper while reversing.
If set to ON in the vehicle information display, the sensor view will automatically appear in the vehicle information display.
When you approach an object near the rear bumper, a beep will sound. The nearer you approach the object, the higher the frequency of the beeping sound will become until it will sound continuous when you are only a very small distance away from the object.
To temporarily switch off the parking sensor system, press the parking sensor OFF switch on the instrument panel; the indicator light in the switch will turn off.
To turn on the system again, press the switch once again; the indicator light in the switch will illuminate.
When switched off, the parking sensor system will automatically be reactivated when restarting the engine.

REAR/AROUND VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
The rear/around view monitor is designed to assist you visually in becoming aware of objects behind/around the vehicle while reversing.
It uses one or more cameras in combination with sonar sensors in the rear bumper (around view monitor system only).
The rear/around view monitor is automatically activated when you shift into reverse gear.
You can also activate the around view monitor by pressing the button on the NISSAN CONNECT unit.
Apart from the visual display of the area around the vehicle, the around view monitor system uses the parking sensor system to provide audible warnings when you approach an object behind the vehicle.
