2022 Nissan ALTIMA Seats and Seat Belts User Guide

SEATS

WARNING

• Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.

• For the most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat properly. For additional information, see “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P. 1-12).
• After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to make sure it is securely locked.
• Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls or make the vehicle move. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.
• To help avoid the risk of injury or death through the unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave children, people who require the assistance of others or pets unattended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and pets.
• Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation. The seat may move suddenly and could cause loss of control of the vehicle.
• The seatback should not be reclined any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most effective when the passenger sits well back and straight up in the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being injured is increased.

CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

FRONT MANUAL SEAT ADJUSTMENT (if so equipped)

Your vehicle seats can be adjusted manually. For additional information about adjusting the seats, refer to the steps outlined in this section.

WARNING
Before driving the vehicle, return the seatback to an upright seating position after manually releasing it. Also, make sure the seat is locked in place. Failure to do so may cause the seat to move in a collision or sudden stop. This may result in damage to the seat or personal injury.

Forward and backward
Pull the center of the bar up and hold it while you slide the seat forward or backward to the desired position. Release the bar to lock the seat in position.

Reclining
To recline the seatback, pull the lever up and lean back. To bring the seatback forward, pull the lever up and lean your body forward. Release the lever to lock the seat back in position.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the seatback for occupants of different sizes for added comfort and to help obtain proper seat belt fit. For additional information, see “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P. 1-12). Also, the seatback can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is stopped and the shift lever is in the P (Park) position.

Seat lifter (driver’s seat)
Pull up or push down the adjusting lever to adjust the seat height until the desired position is achieved.

FRONT POWER SEAT ADJUSTMENT (if so equipped)

Operating tips

• The power seat motor has an auto-reset overload protection circuit. If the motor stops during operation, wait 30 seconds then reactivate the switch.
• Do not operate the power seat switch for a long period of time when the engine is off. This will discharge the battery.
  For additional information, see “Memory Seat” (P. 3-31).

Forward and backward
Moving the switch as shown will slide the seat forward or backward to the desired position.

Reclining
Move the recline switch as shown until the desired angle is obtained.

Nissan ALTIMA 2022 Child Safety and Child Restraints User Guide

2022 Nissan ALTIMA Child Safety and Restraints User Guide

Child Safety

WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the seat belts. Most seating positions are equipped with Automatic Locking Re-tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes wrapped around a child’s neck with the ALR mode activated, the child can be seriously injured or killed if the seat belt retracts and becomes tight. This can occur even if the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to re-lease the child. If the seat belt cannot be unbuckled or is already unbuckled, release the child by cutting the seat belt with a suitable tool (such as a knife or scissors) to release the seat belt.

Children need adults to help protect them. They need to be properly restrained. In addition to the general information in this manual, child safety information is available from many other sources, including doctors, teachers, government traffic safety offices, and community organizations. Every child is different, so be sure to learn the best way to transport your child.

There are three basic types of child restraint systems:

• Rear-facing child restraints
• Forward-facing child restraints
• Booster seats

The proper restraint depends on the child’s size. Generally, infants up to about 1 year and less than 20 lbs. (9 kg) should be placed in rear-facing child restraints. Forward-facing child restraints are available for children who outgrow rear-facing child restraints and are at least 1 year old. Booster seats are used to help position a vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a child who can no longer use a forward-facing child restraint.

WARNING
Infants and children need special protection. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them properly. The shoulder belt may come too close to the face or neck. The lap belt may not fit over their small hip bones. In an accident, an improperly fitting seat belt could cause serious or fatal injury. Always use appropriate child restraints.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territories require the use of approved child restraints for infants and small children. For additional information, see “Child restraints” (P. 1-23).

A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle by using either the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children’s) system or with the vehicle seat belt. For additional information, see “Child restraints” (P. 1-23).
NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens and children be restrained in the rear seat. Studies show that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
This is especially important because your vehicle has a supplemental restraint system (air bag system) for the front passenger. For additional information, see “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)” (P. 1-47).

INFANTS

Infants up to at least 1 year old should be placed in a rear-facing child restraint. NISSAN recommends that infants be placed in child restraints that comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You should choose a child restraint that fits your vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use.

SMALL CHILDREN

Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at least 20 lbs. (9 kg) should remain in a rear-facing child restraint as long as possible up to the height or weight limit of the child restraint. Children who outgrow the height or weight limit of the rear-facing child restraint and are at least 1 year old should be secured in a forward-facing child restraint with a harness. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for minimum and maximum weight and height recommendations. NISSAN recommends that small children be placed in child restraints that comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You should choose a child restraint that fits your vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use.

Nissan ALTIMA 2022 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) User Guide

2022 Nissan ALTIMA Supplemental Restraint Installation User Guide

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

PRECAUTIONS ON SRS

This SRS section contains important information concerning the following systems:

• Driver and front passenger supplemental front-impact air bag (NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System)
• Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bag
• Rear outboard seat-mounted side-impact supplemental airbag
• Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental airbag
• Driver and front passenger supplemental knee airbag
• Seat belt with pretensioner(s) (front and rear outboard seats)

Supplemental front-impact air bag system
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System can help cushion the impact force to the head and chest of the driver and front passenger in certain frontal collisions.

Front seat-mounted
supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact force to the chest area of the driver and front passenger in certain side-impact collisions. The side air bags are designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted.

Rear outboard seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact force to the chest area of the rear outboard seat passengers in certain side-impact collisions. The side air bags are designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted.

Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental airbag system
This system can help cushion the impact force to the head of occupants in front and rear outboard seating positions in certain side-impact collisions. The curtain air bags are designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted. In a rollover, the curtain air bags are designed to inflate and remain inflated for a short time.

Driver and front passenger supplemental knee airbags
This system can help cushion the impact force to the driver’s and front passenger’s knees in certain collisions.
The SRS is designed to supplement the crash protection provided by the driver and front passenger and rear seat belts and is not a substitute for them. Seat belts should always be correctly worn and the occupant seated a suitable distance away from the steering wheel, instrument panel and door finishers. For additional information, see “Seat belts” (P. 1-12).
The supplemental air bags operate only when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON position, the supplemental air bag warning light illuminates. The supple-mental air bag warning light will turn off after about 7 seconds if the system is operational.

WARNING

• The front air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a side impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower sever-ity frontal collision. Always wear your seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity of injury in various kinds of accidents
• The front passenger air bag and front passenger knee air bag will not inflate if the passenger air bag status light is lit. For additional information, see “Front passenger air bag and status light” (P. 1-57).
• The seat belts and the front air bags are most effective when you are sit-ting well back and upright in the seat. The front air bags inflate with great force. Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System, if you are un-restrained, 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 re-ceive serious or fatal injuries from the front air bag if you are up against it when it inflates. Always sit back against the seatback and as far away as practical from the steering wheel or instrument panel. Always properly use the seat belts.
• The driver and front passenger seat belt buckles are equipped with sensors that detect if the seat belts are fastened. The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System monitors the severity of a collision and seat belt usage, then inflates the air bags as needed. Failure to properly wear seat belts can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident.
• The front passenger seat is equipped with an occupant classification sensor (weight sensor) that turns the front passenger air bag and passenger knee air bag OFF under some conditions. This sensor is only used in this seat. Failure to be properly seated and wearing the seat belt can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident. For additional information, see “Front passenger air bag and status light” (P. 1-57).
•  Keep hands on the outside of the steering wheel. Placing them inside the steering wheel rim could increase the risk that they are injured when the front air bag inflates.

WARNING

• Never let children ride unrestrained or extend their hands or face out of the window. Do not attempt to hold them in your lap or arms. Some examples of dangerous riding positions are shown in the illustrations.

WARNING

• Children may be severely injured or killed when the front air bags, side air bags or curtain air bags inflate if they are not properly restrained. Pre-teens and children should be properly restrained in the rear seat, if possible.

The vehicle security system provides visual and audible alarm signals if someone opens the doors or trunk when the system is armed. It is not, however, a motion detection type system that activates when a vehicle is moved or when a vibration occurs.

The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior or exterior vehicle components in all situations. Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a brief period. Never leave your keys in the vehicle, and always lock the vehicle when unattended. Be aware of your surroundings, and park in secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection, such as component locks, identification markers, and tracking systems, are available at auto supply stores and specialty shops. A NISSAN dealer may also offer such equipment. Check with your insurance company to see if you may be eligible for discounts for various theft protection features.

How to arm the vehicle security system

1. Close all windows and the moonroof. The system can be armed even if the windows and moonroof (if so equipped) are open.
2. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.
3. Close all doors, hood, and trunk. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with the Intelligent Key, door handle request switch, or power door lock switch.
4. Confirm that the indicator light comes on. The indicator stays illuminated for a period of time indicating that the system is in the pre-armed phase.
   The indicator light will blink every 3 seconds once the security system is armed.
   If during the pre-armed phase one of the following occurs, the system will not arm:

• Any door is unlocked with the Intelligent
• Key or door request switch.
• The ignition switch is placed in the ON position.
• Even when the driver and/or passengers are in the vehicle, the system will activate when all the doors, hood and trunk are locked with the ignition switch placed in the LOCK position. When placing the ignition switch in the AUTO ACC or ON position, the system will be released.

Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the following alarm:

• The headlights blink and the horn sounds intermittent.
• The alarm automatically turns off after a period of time. However, the alarm reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with again. The alarm can be shut off by pressing the button on the Intelligent Key. The alarm is activated by:
• opening the door or trunk without using the Intelligent Key (even if the door is unlocked by releasing the door inside lock knob switch).

How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking a door by pressing the button on the Intelligent Key or pushing the request switch on the driver’s or passenger’s door with the Intelligent Key in range of the door handle.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM

The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System will not allow the engine to start without the use of a registered key.
If the engine fails to start using a registered key (for example, when interference is caused by another registered key, an automated toll road device or an automatic payment device on the key ring), restart the engine using the following procedures:

1. Leave the ignition switch placed in the ON position for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position, and wait approximately 10 seconds.
3.  Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4.  Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the interference) separate from the registered key.

If the no-start condition re-occurs, NISSAN recommends placing the registered key on a separate key ring to avoid interference from other devices.

HOMELINK® UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (if so equipped)

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver provides a convenient way to consolidate the functions of up to three individual hand-held transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:

• Will operate most radio frequency devices such as garage doors, gates, home and office lighting, entry door locks and security systems.
• Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No separate batteries are required. If the vehicle’s battery is discharged or is disconnected, HomeLink® will retain all programming.

When the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is programmed, retain the original transmitter for future programming procedures (Example: new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink® Universal Transceiver buttons should be erased for security purposes. For additional information, see “Programming HomeLink®” (P. 2-81).

WARNING

• • Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. For additional information, see “Push-button ignition switch” (P. 5-13). Do not breathe exhaust gases; they contain colorless and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause unconscious-ness or death.
  • Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and re-verse features as required by federal safety standards. (These standards became effective for opener models manufactured after April 1, 1982.) A garage door opener which cannot detect an object in the path of a closing garage door and then automatically stop and reverse does not meet current federal safety standards. Us-ing a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death.
• During the programming procedure, your garage door or security gate will open and close (if the transmitter is within range). Make sure that people or objects are clear of the garage door, gate, etc., that you are programming.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®

If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink® buttons, refer to the HomeLink® website at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.

NOTE:
Place the ignition switch in the ON posi-tion (without starting the engine) when programming HomeLink®. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the de-vice being programmed to HomeLink® for quicker programming and accurate transmission of the radio frequency.

1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1–3 in (2–8 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface, keeping the HomeLink® indicator light 1O in view.
   
2. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold the desired HomeLink® button and hand-held transmitter button. DO NOT release until the HomeLink® indicator light 1O flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful programming.)
   NOTE:
   Some devices may require you to replace Step 2 with the cycling procedure noted in “Programming HomeLink® for Canadian customers and gate openers” in this section.
3. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light.
   • If the indicator light 1O is solid/continuous, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink® button is pressed and released.
   • If the indicator light 1O blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns to a solid/continuous light, continue with Steps 4- 6 for a rolling code device. A second person may make the following steps easier. Use a ladder or other device. Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the next steps.
4. At the receiver located on the garage door opener motor in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button (the name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer but it is usually located near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit). If there is difficulty locating the button, reference the garage door opener’s manual.
5.  Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button.
   NOTE:
   Once the button is pressed, you have approximately 30 seconds to initiate the next step.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained HomeLink® button for 2 seconds and release. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence up to three times to complete the training process. HomeLink® should now activate your rolling code-equipped device.
7. If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink® buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at: www.homelink.com or call

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE OPENERS

Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission –which may not be long enough for HomeLink® to pick up the signal during training. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “timeout” in the same manner.

INTELLIGENT AROUND VIEW MONITOR (if so equipped)

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for the proper use of the Intelligent Around View Monitor system could result in serious injury or death

• The Intelligent Around View Monitor is a convenience feature and is not a substitute for proper vehicle operation because it has areas where objects cannot be viewed. The four corners of the vehicle, in particular, are areas where objects do not always appear in the bird’s-eye, front, or rear views. Always check your surroundings to be sure that it is safe to move before operating the vehicle. Always operate the vehicle slowly.
• The driver is always responsible for safety during parking and other maneuvers.

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

The Intelligent Around View Monitor system is designed as an aid to the driver in situations such as slot parking or parallel parking. The monitor displays various views of the position of the vehicle in a split-screen format. Not all views are available at all times.
Available views:

• Front View
  An approximately 150–degree view of the front of the vehicle.
• Rear View
  An approximately 150–degree view of the rear of the vehicle.
• Bird’s-Eye View
  The surrounding views of the vehicle from above.
• Front-Side View
  The view is around and ahead of the front passenger’s side wheel.
• Full-Screen Rear View
  The view to the rear of the vehicle (which is a little wider than the standard Rear View).

To display multiple views, the Intelligent Around View Monitor system uses cam-eras located in the front grille, on the vehicle’s outside mirrors, and just above
the vehicle’s license plate 1O.

INTELLIGENT AROUND-VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM OPERATION

With the ignition switch in the ON position, move the shift lever to the R (Reverse) position or press the CAMERA button to operate the Intelligent Around View Monitor.

The screen displayed on the Intelligent Around View Monitor will automatically return to the previous screen 3 minutes after the CAMERA button has been pressed with the shift lever in a position other than the R (Reverse) position.

WARNING

• The distance guide lines and the vehicle width lines should be used as a reference only when the vehicle is on a paved, level surface. The apparent distance viewed on the monitor may be different than the actual distance between the vehicle and the displayed objects.
• Use the displayed lines and the bird’s-eye view as a reference. The lines and the bird’s-eye view are greatly affected by the number of occupants, cargo, fuel level, vehicle position, road condition, and road grade.
• If the tires are replaced with different-sized tires, the predicted course lines and the bird’s-eye view may be displayed incorrectly.
• When driving the vehicle up a hill, objects viewed in the monitor are further than they appear. When driving the vehicle down a hill, objects viewed in the monitor are closer than they appear.
• Objects in the rearview will appear visually opposite compared to when viewed in the monitor and outside mirrors.
• Use mirrors or actually look to properly judge distances to other objects.
  On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between the predicted course lines and the actual course line.
• The vehicle width and predicted course lines are wider than the actual width and course.
• The displayed lines will appear slightly off to the right because the rearview camera is not installed in the rear center of the vehicle.

Front and rear view
Guiding lines that indicate the approximate vehicle width and distance to objects with reference to the vehicle body line OA is displayed on the monitor.

2022 Nissan ALTIMA Audio System Guide

AUDIO SYSTEM

RADIO

Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position and press the PUSH button to turn the radio on. If you listen to the radio with the engine not running, the ignition switch should be placed in the ACC position. Radio reception is affected by station signal strength, distance from the radio transmitter, buildings, bridges, mountains and other external influences. Intermittent changes in reception quality normally are caused by these external influences. Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle may influence radio reception quality.

Radio reception
Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance radio reception. These circuits are designed to extend the reception range, and to enhance the quality of that reception. However, there are some general characteristics of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even when the finest equipment is used. These characteristics are completely normal in a given reception area and do not indicate any malfunction in your NISSAN radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change because of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain, signal distance and interference from other vehicles can work against ideal reception. Described below are some of the factors that can affect your radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may cause interference or a buzzing noise to come from the audio system speakers. Storing the device in a different location may reduce or eliminate the noise.

FM RADIO RECEPTION

Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 –30 mi (40 – 48 km), with monaural (single channel) FM having slightly more range than stereo FM. External influences may sometimes interfere with FM station reception even if the FM station is within 25 mi (40 km). The strength of the FM signal is directly related to the distance between the transmitter and receiver. FM signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of the same characteristics as light. For example, they will reflect off objects. Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference from buildings, large hills or due to antenna position (usually in conjunction with increased distance from the station transmitter), static or flutter can be heard. This can be reduced by adjusting the treble control to reduce treble response. Multipath reception: Because of the reflective characteristics of FM signals, direct and reflected signals reach the receiver at the same time. The signals may cancel each other, resulting in momentary flutter or loss of sound.

AM RADIO RECEPTION

AM signals, because of their low frequency, can bend around objects and skip along the ground. In addition, the signals can be bounced off the ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of these characteristics, AM signals are also subject to interference as they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing through freeway underpasses or in areas with many tall buildings. It can also occur for several seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

MP3 or WMA terms

• MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the most well-known compressed digital audio file format. This format allows for near “CD quality” sound, but at a fraction of the size of normal audio files. MP3 conversion of an audio track from CD-ROM can reduce the file size by approximately a 10:1 ratio with virtually no perceptible loss in quality. MP3 compression removes the redundant and irrelevant parts of a sound signal that the human ear doesn’t hear.
• WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA)* is a compressed audio format created by Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The WMA codec offers greater file compression than the MP3 codec, enabling storage of more digital audio tracks in the same amount of space when compared to MP3s at the same level of quality.
•  Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of bits per second used by a digital music file. The size and quality of a compressed digital audio file is determined by the bit rate used when encoding the file.
• Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency is the rate at which the samples of a signal are converted from analog to digital (A/D conversion) per second.
• Multisession — Multisession is one of the methods for writing data to media. Writing data once to the media is called a single session, and writing more than once is called a multisession.
• ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file that contains information about the digital music file such as song title, artist, encoding bit rate, track time duration, etc. ID3 tag information is displayed on the Artist/song title line on the display.
• * Windows® and Windows Media® are registered trademarks and trademarks in the United States of America and other countries of Microsoft Corporation of the USA.

Nissan ALTIMA 2022 Precautions when starting and driving and Driving the vehicle User Guide

2022 Nissan ALTIMA Precautions and Driving User Guide

Precautions when starting and driving

WARNING

• Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assistance of others alone in your vehicle. Pets should also not be left alone. They could accidentally injure them-selves or others through inadvertent operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days, temperatures in a closed vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
• Closely supervise children when they are around cars to prevent them from playing and becoming locked in the trunk where they could be seriously injured. Keep the car locked, with the rear seatback and trunk lid securely latched when not in use, and prevent children’s access to car keys.

Exhaust gas (carbon monoxide)

WARNING

• Do not breathe exhaust gases; they contain colorless and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause unconsciousness or death.
• If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the vehicle, drive with all windows fully open, and have the vehicle inspected immediately.
• Do not run the engine in closed spaces such as a garage.
• Do not park the vehicle with the engine running for any extended length of time.
• Keep the rear vent windows, lift gates, doors and trunk lids (if so equipped) closed while driving, otherwise, exhaust gases could be drawn into the passenger compartment. If you must drive with one of these open, follow these precautions:

1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the air recirculation button to off and the fan control dial to high to circulate the air.

• If electrical wiring or other cable connections must pass to a trailer through the seal on the trunk lid or the body, follow the manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
• The exhaust system and body should be inspected by a qualified mechanic whenever:
  • The vehicle is raised for service.
  •  You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger compartment.
  • You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
  • You have had an accident involving damage to the exhaust system, underbody, or rear of the vehicle.

THREE-WAY CATALYST

The three-way catalyst is an emission control device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust gases in the three-way catalyst are burned at high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.

WARNING

• The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are very hot. Keep people, animals or flammable materials away from the exhaust system components.
• Do not stop or park the vehicle over flammable materials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags. They may ignite and cause a fire.

CAUTION

• Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits from leaded gasoline will seriously reduce the three-way catalyst’s ability to help reduce exhaust pollutants.
• Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical systems can cause overreach fuel flow into the three-way catalyst, causing it to overheat. Do not keep driving if the engine misfires, or if a noticeable loss of performance or other unusual operating conditions are detected. Have the vehicle inspected promptly? It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
• Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the three-way catalyst.
• Do not race the engine while warming it up.
• Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the engine.

Nissan ALTIMA 2022 Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert User Guide

2022 Nissan ALTIMA Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert User Guide

BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) (if so equipped)

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the BSW system could result in serious injury or death.

• The BSW system is not a replacement for proper driving procedures and is not designed to prevent contact with vehicles or objects. When changing lanes, always use the side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the direction your vehicle will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW system.

The BSW system helps alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes.

The BSW system uses radar sensors 1O installed near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles in an adjacent lane.

Detection zone

The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either side of your vehicle within the detection zone shown as illustrated. This detection zone starts from the outside mirror of your vehicle and extends approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) sideways.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION

The BSW system operates above approximately 20 mph (32 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the detection zone, the side BSW/RCTA indicator light (1) illuminates. If the turn signal is then activated, the system chimes (twice), the side BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes and the BSW indicator illuminates (yellow) in the vehicle information display. The side BSW/RCTA indicator light continues to flash until the detected vehicle leaves the detection zone.
The side BSW/RCTA indicator light illuminates for a few seconds when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position.
If a vehicle comes into the detection zone after the driver activates the turn signal, then only the side BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes and no chime sounds. For additional information, see “BSW driving situations” (P. 5-52).
The BSW system automatically turns on every time the engine is started, as long as it is activated using the settings menu on the vehicle information display.

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE BSW SYSTEM

Perform the following steps to enable or disable the BSW system.
For vehicles with the 7 inch (18 cm) display.

1. Press the button until “Settings” dis-plays in the vehicle information display. Use the button to select “Driver Assistance.” Then press the OK button.
2. Select “Blind Spot” and press the OK button.
3.  Select “Blind Spot Warning” and press the OK button to turn the system on or off.

For vehicles with the 5 inch (13 cm) display.

1. Press the button until “Settings” dis-plays in the vehicle information display. Use the button to select “Driver Assistance.” Then press the OK button.
2. Select “Driving Aids” and press the OK button.
3. Select “Blind Spot” and press the OK button.
4. Select “Blind Spot (BSW)” and press the OK button to turn the system on or off.

NOTE:
When enabling/disabling the system, the system will retain current settings even if the engine is restarted.

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for the BSW system. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could result in serious injury or death.

• The BSW system cannot detect all vehicles under all conditions.
• The radar sensors may not be able to detect and activate BSW when certain objects are present such as:
  • Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
  • Vehicles such as motorcycles, low-height vehicles, or high-ground clearance vehicles.
  • Oncoming vehicles.
  • Vehicles remain in the detection zone when you accelerate from a stop.
  • A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the same as your vehicle.
  • A vehicle approached rapidly from behind.
  • A vehicle which your vehicle over-takes rapidly.
  • A vehicle passes through the detection zone quickly.
  • When overtaking several vehicles in a row, the vehicles after the first vehicle may not be detected if they are traveling close together.
• The radar sensors’ detection zone is designed based on standard lane width. When driving in a wider lane, the radar sensors may not detect vehicles in an adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the radar sensors may detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
• The radar sensors are designed to ignore most stationary objects; however, objects such as guardrails, walls, foliage and parked vehicles may occasionally be detected. This is a normal operating condition.
• The following conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles:
  • Severe weather
  • Road spray
  • Ice/frost/snow/dirt build-up on the vehicle
• Do not attach stickers (including transparent material), install accessories or apply additional paint near the radar sensors. These conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles.
• Excessive noise (for example, audio system volume, open vehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.

To avoid serious injury or death, do not rely on the system to prevent accidents or to control the vehicle’s speed in emergency situations. Do not use the ProPILOT Assist system except in appropriate road and traffic conditions.

The ProPILOT Assist system is intended to enhance the operation of the vehicle when following a vehicle traveling in the same lane and direction.
The ProPILOT Assist system uses a multi-
sensing front camera OA installed behind the windshield and a radar sensor located
on the front of the vehicle OB to measure the distance to the vehicle ahead in the
same lane and to monitor the lane markers. If the vehicle detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the vehicle speed so that your vehicle follows the vehicle in front at the selected distance. The system will also help keep the vehicle centered in the traveling lane when clear lane markings are detected.

2. Vehicle information display
3. Steering-wheel-mounted control (right)
4.  ProPILOT Assist switch
   The ProPILOT Assist system has the following two functions:

Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
The ICC system can be set to one of two cruise control modes:

• Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode: For cruising at a preset speed

NOTE:
Steering Assist is not available in the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode.

• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode: The ICC system maintains a selected distance from the vehicle in front of you within the speed range of 0 to 90 mph (0 to 144 km/h) up to the set speed. The set speed can be selected by the driver between 20 to 90 mph (32 to 144 km/h). When the vehicle ahead slows to a stop, your vehicle gradually decelerates to a standstill. When the vehicle is stopped, the ICC system maintains braking force to keep your vehicle stopped.

NOTE:
When your vehicle is stopped for less than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead begins to move, your vehicle will start moving again automatically.

• When your vehicle is at a standstill for more than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead begins to accelerate, push the RES+ switch or lightly depress the accelerator pedal. The ICC system starts to follow the vehicle ahead.
• When no vehicle is detected ahead within the driver-selected distance, the vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The speed must be above 20 mph (32 km/h) to use this function.

NOTE:
Even if the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) with Pedestrian Detection setting is turned off by the driver using the “Settings” menu in the vehicle information display, AEB with Pedestrian Detection will be automatically turned on when ICC is used.

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system could result in serious injury or death.

• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system is a supplemental aid to the driver. It is not a replacement for the driver’s attention to traffic conditions or responsibility to drive safely. It cannot prevent accidents due to carelessness or dangerous driving techniques.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system does not function in all driving, traffic, weather and road conditions.

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system can assist the driver when there is a risk of a forward collision with the vehicle ahead in the traveling lane or with a pedestrian ahead in the traveling lane.

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system uses a radar sensor located on the front of the vehicle OB to measure the distance to the vehicle ahead in the same lane. For
pedestrians, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system uses a camera installed behind the windshield OA in addition to the radar sensor.

For vehicles with the 7 inch (18 cm) display

AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION SYSTEM OPERATION.

1. Vehicle ahead detection indicator
2. AEB with Pedestrian Detection emergency warning indicator
3.  AEB with Pedestrian Detection system warning light
   The AEB system operates at speeds above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). For the pedestrian detection function, the system operates at speeds between6–37mph(10 – 60 km/h).
   If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system will firstly provide the warning to the driver by flashing the vehicle ahead detection in-dicator (yellow) in the vehicle information display and providing an audible alert. If the driver applies the brakes quickly and force-fully after the warning, and the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system detects that there is still the possibility of a forward collision, the system will automatically in-crease the braking force.
   If the driver does not take action, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system issues the second visual (flashing) (red and white) and audible warning. If the driver releases the accelerator pedal, then the system ap-plies partial braking. If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system applies harder braking automatically.

While the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system is operating, you may hear the sound of brake operation. This is normal and indicates that the AEB with the Pedestrian Detection system is operating properly.

NOTE:
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when any braking is performed by the AEB with the Pedestrian Detection system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well as driving and roadway conditions, the system may help the driver avoid a forward collision or may help mitigate the consequences if a collision should be unavoidable. If the driver is handling the steering wheel, accelerating, or braking, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system will function later or will not function.

The automatic braking will cease under the following conditions:

• When the steering wheel is turned to avoid a collision.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed. When there is no longer a vehicle or a pedestrian detected ahead.

If the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the brakes are released.
For vehicles with a 7-inch (18 cm) display

TURNING THE AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION SYSTEM ON/OFF

Perform the following steps to enable or disable the AEB with the Pedestrian Detection system.

Nissan ALTIMA 2022 Break-in schedule and Brake system User Guide

2022 Nissan ALTIMA Break-in Schedule User Guide

BREAK-IN SCHEDULE

CAUTION
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km), follow these recommendations to obtain maximum engine performance and ensure the future reliability and economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in shortened engine life and reduced engine performance.

• Avoid driving for long periods at constant speed, either fast or slow, and do not run the engine over 4,000 rpm.
• Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
• Avoid quick starts.
• Avoid hard braking as much as possible.

FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVING TIPS

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient Driving Tips to help you achieve the most fuel economy from your vehicle.

1. Use Smooth Accelerator and Brake Pedal Application
   • Avoid rapid starts and stops.
   • Use smooth, gentle accelerator and brake application whenever possible.
   • Maintain constant speed while com-muting and coast whenever possible.
2.  Maintain Constant Speed
   •  Look ahead to try and anticipate and minimize stops.
   • Synchronizing your speed with traffic lights allows you to reduce your number of stops.
   • Maintaining a steady speed can minimize red light stops and improve fuel efficiency.
3.  Use Air Conditioning (A/C) at Higher Vehicle Speeds
   • Below 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more efficient to open windows to cool the vehicle due to reduced engine load.
   • Above 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle due to increased aerodynamic drag.
   • Recirculating the cool air in the cabin when the A/C is on reduces cooling load.
4. Drive at Economical Speeds and Distances
   • Observing the speed limit and not exceeding 60 mph (97 km/h) (where legally allowed) can improve fuel efficiency due to reduced aerodynamic drag.
   • Maintaining a safe following distance behind other vehicles reduces unnecessary braking.
   • Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate changes in speed permits reduced braking and smooth acceleration changes.
   • Select a gear range suitable to road conditions.
5. Use Cruise Control
   • Using cruise control during highway driving helps maintain a steady speed.
   • Cruise control is particularly effective in providing fuel savings when driving on flat terrains.
6. Plan for the Shortest Route
   •  Utilize a map or navigation system to determine the best route to save time.
7. Avoid Idling
   • Shutting off your engine when safe for stops exceeding 30–60 seconds saves fuel and reduces emissions.
8.  Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads
   • Automated passes permit drivers to use special lanes to maintain cruising speed through the toll and avoid stop-ping and starting.
9.  Winter Warm Up
   • Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel economy.
   • Vehicles typically need no more than 30 seconds of idling at start-up to effectively circulate the engine oil before driving.
   • Your vehicle will reach its ideal operating temperature more quickly while driving versus idling.
10. Keeping your Vehicle Cool
    • Park your vehicle in a covered parking area or in the shade whenever possible.
    • When entering a hot vehicle, opening the windows will help to reduce the inside temperature faster, resulting in reduced demand on your A/C system.

INCREASING FUEL ECONOMY

• Keep your engine tuned up.
• Follow the recommended scheduled maintenance.
• Keep the tires inflated to the correct pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear and lowers fuel economy.
• Keep the wheels in correct alignment. Improper alignment increases tire wear and lowers fuel economy.
• Use the recommended viscosity engine oil. For additional information, see “Engine oil and oil filter recommendations” (P. 10-7).

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) (if so equipped)

If any malfunction occurs in the AWD sys-tem while the engine is running, messages are displayed in the meter.
If the AWD error warning message is dis-played, there may be a malfunction in the AWD system. Reduce vehicle speed and have your vehicle checked. It is recom-mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

Nissan ALTIMA 2022 Vehicle Dynamic Control system and Chassis Control User Guide

2022 Nissan ALTIMA Vehicle Dynamic and Chassis User Guide

VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC) SYSTEM

The VDC system uses various sensors to monitor driver inputs and vehicle motion. Under certain driving conditions, the VDC system helps to perform the following functions:

• Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel slip on one slipping drive wheel so power is transferred to a non-slipping drive wheel on the same axle.
• Controls brake pressure and engine out-put to reduce drive wheel slip based on vehicle speed (traction control function).
• Controls brake pressure at individual wheels and engine output to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle in the following conditions:
  • Understeer (vehicle tends to not follow the steered path despite increased steering input)
  • Oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due to certain road or driving conditions)

The VDC system can help the driver to maintain control of the vehicle, but it can-not prevent loss of vehicle control in all driving situations.
When the VDC system operates, the indicator light in the instrument panel flashes to note the following:

• The road may be slippery or the system may determine some action is required to help keep the vehicle on the steered path.
• You may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise or vibration from under the hood. This is normal and indicates that the VDC system is working properly.
• Adjust your speed and driving to the road conditions.

For additional information, see “Slip indicator light” (P. 2-16) and “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) OFF indicator light” If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
indicator light comes on in the instrument panel. The VDC system automatically turns off when the indicator light is on.
The vehicle information display is used to turn off the VDC system. When the VDC system is turned off, the indicator light and if so equipped, the RAB system warning light, AEB system warning light and AEB with Pedestrian Detection system warning light illuminate to indicate the VDC, AEB, AEB with Pedestrian Detection, and RAB systems are off.

When the VDC system is turned off in the vehicle information display, the VDC system still operates to prevent one drive wheel from slipping by transferring power to a non-slipping drive wheel. The indicator light flashes if this occurs. All other VDC functions are off and the indicator light will not flash.
The VDC system is automatically reset to ON when the ignition switch is placed in the OFF position then back to the ON position.
The computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that tests the system each time you start the engine and move the vehicle for-ward or in reverse at a slow speed. When the self-test occurs, you may hear a clunk noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal. This is normal and is not an indication of a malfunction.

WARNING

• The VDC system is designed to help the driver maintain stability but does not prevent accidents due to abrupt steering operation at high speeds or by careless or dangerous driving techniques. Reduce vehicle speed and be especially careful when driving and cornering on slippery sur-faces and always drive carefully.
• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension. If suspension parts such as shock absorbers, struts, springs, stabilizer bars, bushings and wheels are not NISSAN recommended for your vehicle or are extremely deteriorated, the VDC system may not operate properly. This could adversely affect vehicle handling performance, and the indicator light may flash or the indicator light may illuminate.
• If brake-related parts such as brake pads, rotors and calipers are not NISSAN recommended or are extremely deteriorated, the VDC system may not operate properly and both the and indicator lights may illuminate.
• If engine control related parts are not NISSAN recommended or are extremely deteriorated, both the and the indicator lights may illuminate.
• When driving on extremely inclined surfaces such as higher banked corners, the VDC system may not oper operate properly and the indicator light may flash or the indicator light may illuminate. Do not drive on these types of roads.
• When driving on an unstable surface such as a turntable, ferry, elevator or ramp, the indicator light may flash or the indicator light may illuminate. This is not a malfunction. Restart the engine after driving onto a stable surface.
• If wheels or tires other than the NISSAN recommended ones are used, the VDC system may not operate properly and the indicator light may flash or the indicator light may illuminate.
• The VDC system is not a substitute for winter tires or tire chains on a snow-covered road.

BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION

During braking while driving through turns, the system optimizes the distribution of force to each of the front and rear wheels depending on the radius of the turn.

WARNING

• The VDC system is designed to help the driver maintain stability but does not prevent accidents due to abrupt steering operation at high speeds or by careless or dangerous driving techniques. Reduce vehicle speed and be especially careful when driving and cornering on slippery sur-faces and always drive carefully.
• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension. If suspension parts such as shock absorbers, struts, springs, stabilizer bars, bushings and wheels are not NISSAN recommended for your vehicle or are extremely deteriorated, the VDC system may not operate properly. This could adversely affect vehicle handling performance, and the indicator light may flash or the indicator light may illuminate.
• If brake-related parts such as brake pads, rotors and calipers are not NISSAN recommended or are extremely deteriorated, the VDC system may not operate properly and both the and indicator light may illuminate.
• If engine control-related parts are not NISSAN recommended or are extremely deteriorated, both the and the indicator light may illuminate.
• When driving on extremely inclined surfaces such as higher banked corners, the VDC system may not oper operate properly and the indicator light may flash or the indicator light may illuminate. Do not drive on these types of roads.
• When driving on an unstable surface such as a turntable, ferry, elevator or ramp, the indicator light may flash or the indicator light may illuminate. This is not a malfunction. Restart the engine after driving onto a stable surface.
•  If wheels or tires other than the NISSAN recommended ones are used, the VDC system may not operate properly and the indicator light may flash or the indicator light may illuminate.
• The VDC system is not a substitute for winter tires or tire chains on a snow-covered road.

Nissan ALTIMA 2022 Hill start assist system, Cold weather driving and Active noise cancellation, sound enhancement User Guide

2022 Nissan ALTIMA Hill Assist and Sound Enhancement User Guide

HILL START ASSIST SYSTEM

WARNING

• Never rely solely on the hill start assist system to prevent the vehicle from moving backward on a hill. Al-ways drive carefully and attentively. Depress the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped on a steep hill. Be especially careful when stopped on a hill on frozen or muddy roads. Failure to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards may result in a loss of control of the vehicle and possible serious injury or death.
• The hill start assist system is not de-signed to hold the vehicle at a stand-still on a hill. Depress the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped on a steep hill. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to roll backwards and may result in a collision or serious personal injury.
• The hill start assist system may not prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards on a hill under all load or road conditions. Always be prepared to depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards. Failure to do so may result in a collision or serious personal injury.

When the vehicle is stopped on a hill, the hill start assist system automatically keeps the brakes applied to help prevent the vehicle from rolling backward in the time it takes the driver to release the brake pedal and apply the accelerator.
The hill start assist system will operate automatically under the following conditions:

• The transmission is shifted to a forward or reverse gear.
• The vehicle is stopped completely on a hill by applying the brake. The maximum holding time is 2 seconds. After 2 seconds the vehicle will begin to roll back and the hill start assist system will stop operating completely.

The hill start assist system will not operate when the shift lever is placed in the N (Neutral) or P (Park) position or on a flat and level road.

REAR SONAR SYSTEM (RSS) (if so equipped)

The RSS sounds a tone to inform the driver of obstacles near the bumper.
When the “DISPLAY” key is on, the sonar view will automatically appear in the touch-screen display. An additional view of the sonar status will appear in the vehicle information display for reference.

WARNING

• The RSS is a convenience but it is not a substitute for proper parking.
• The driver is always responsible for safety during parking and other maneuvers. Always look around and check that it is safe to do so before parking.
• Read and understand the limitations of the RSS as contained in this section. The colors of the corner sonar indicator and the distance guide lines in the rear view indicate different distances to the object. Inclement weather or ultrasonic sources such as an automatic car wash, a truck’s compressed-air brakes or a pneumatic drill may affect the function of the system; this may include reduced performance or a false activation.
• This function is designed as an aid to the driver in detecting large stationary objects to help avoid damaging the vehicle.
•  The system is not designed to pre-vent contact with small or moving objects. Always move slowly. The system will not detect small objects below the bumper, and may not detect objects close to the bumper or on the ground.
• The system may not detect the following objects: fluffy objects such as snow, cloth, cotton, glass, wool, etc.; thin objects such as rope, wire and chain, etc.; or wedge-shaped objects.
• The rear sonar sensors may detect a sound wave reflected from the sur-face of an obstacle when a horn, etc. sounds or there is an ultrasonic source (such as parking sensors of other vehicles) around the vehicle because the rear sonar sensors detect the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle by detecting the sound wave reflected from the sur-face of an obstacle.

If your vehicle sustains damage to the bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms.

CAUTION

• Excessive noise (such as audio system volume or an open vehicle window) will interfere with the tone and it may not be heard.
• Keep the sonar sensors (located on the bumper fascia) free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt. Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects. If the sensors are covered, the accuracy of the sonar function will be diminished.

SYSTEM OPERATION

The system informs with a visual and audible alert of rear obstacles when the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
Sonar Operation Table

	RR Sensor
Range	Sound	Display
R	o	o
o – Display/Beep when detect
† – Display on camera view
x – No Display and Beep

The system is deactivated at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower speeds.
The intermittent tone will stop after 3 sec-onds when an obstacle is detected by only the corner sensor and the distance does not change. The tone will stop when the obstacle gets away from the vehicle.
When the object is detected, the indicator (green) appears and blinks and the tone sounds intermittently. When the vehicle moves closer to the object, the color of the indicator turns yellow and the rate of the blinking increases. When the vehicle is very close to the object, the indicator stops blinking and turns red, and the tone sounds continuously.

When the corner of the vehicle moves closer to an object, the corner sonar indicator OA appears. When the center of the vehicle moves close to an object, the center sonar indicator OB appears.

The system indicators OA will appear when the vehicle moves closer to an object.

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE SONAR SYSTEM

The system is automatically activated when the ignition is in the ON position and the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
Perform the following steps to enable or disable the sonar system:

FLAT TIRE

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING  SYSTEM (TPMS)

This vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors the tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When the low tire pressure warning light is lit, and the “Tire Pressure Low – Add Air” warning appears in the vehicle information display, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. If equipped, the system also displays the pressure of all tires (except the spare tire) on the display screen by sending a signal from a sensor that is installed in each wheel. If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pressure, the TPMS will activate and warn you of it by the low tire pressure warning light. This system will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h). For additional information, see “Warning lights, indicator lights and audible reminders” (P. 2-9) and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P. 5-5).

WARNING

• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those who use a pacemaker should contact the electric medical equipment manufacturer for possible influences before use.
• If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to a safe location, and stop the vehicle as soon as possible. Driving with under-inflated tires may permanently damage the tires and increase the likelihood of tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an accident and could result in serious personal injury. Check the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label to turn the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If the light still illuminates while driving after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may be flat or the TPMS may be malfunctioning. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as soon as possible. If no tire is flat and all tires are properly inflated, have the vehicle checked. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
• When using a wheel without the TPMS such as the spare tire, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately one minute. Have your tires replaced and/or the TPMS system reset as soon as possible. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for these services.
• Replacing tires with those not originally specified by NISSAN could affect the proper operation of the TPMS.
• The Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tire Repair Sealant or equivalent can be used for temporarily repairing a tire. Do not inject any other tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into the tires, as this may cause a malfunction of tire pressure sensors.

CHANGING A FLAT TIRE (for models with spare tires)

If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions below:

NOTE:
For models with the emergency tire puncture repair kit, a spare tire, jack and rod are not equipped as standard.

6. After the engine cools down, check the coolant level in the engine coolant reservoir tank with the engine running. Add coolant to the engine coolant reservoir tank if necessary. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE

When towing your vehicle, all State (Provincial in Canada) and local regulations for towing must be followed. Incorrect towing equipment could damage your vehicle. Towing instructions are available from a NISSAN dealer. Local service operators are generally familiar with the applicable laws and procedures for towing. To assure proper towing and to prevent accidental damage to your vehicle, NISSAN recommends having a service operator tow your vehicle. It is advisable to have the service operator carefully read the following precautions:

WARNING

• Never ride in a vehicle that is being towed.
• Never get under your vehicle after it has been lifted by a tow truck.

CAUTION

• When towing, make sure that the transmission, axles, steering system, and powertrain are in working condition. If any of these conditions apply, dollies or a flatbed tow truck must be used.
• Always attach safety chains before towing.

For additional information about towing your vehicle behind a Recreational Vehicle (RV), see “Flat towing” (P. 10-20).

TOWING RECOMMENDED BY NISSAN

NISSAN recommends towing your vehicle based on the type of drivetrain. For additional information, refer to the diagrams in this section to ensure that your vehicle is properly towed.

All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models with Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)

NISSAN recommends that towing dollies be used when towing your vehicle or place the vehicle on a flatbed truck as illustrated.

CAUTION
Never tow All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models equipped with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with any of the wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transfer case and transmission.

Two-Wheel Drive models with Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)

NISSAN recommends that your vehicle be towed with the driving (front) wheels off the ground or place the vehicle on a flatbed truck as illustrated.

CAUTION

• Never tow Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) models with the front wheels on the ground or four wheels on the ground (forward or backward), as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission. If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels raised always use towing dollies under the front wheels.
• When towing Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) models with the rear wheels on the ground or on towing dollies:
  • Place the ignition switch in the OFF position, and secure the steering wheel in a straight-ahead position with a rope or similar device.

2022 Nissan ALTIMA Appearance and Care User Guide

CLEANING EXTERIOR

In order to maintain the appearance of your vehicle, it is important to take proper care of it.
To protect the paint surfaces, wash your vehicle as soon as you can:

• After rainfall to prevent possible damage from acid rain.
• After driving on coastal roads.
• When contaminants such as soot, bird droppings, tree sap, metal particles or bugs get on the paint surface.
• When dust or mud builds up on the surface.

Whenever possible, store or park your vehicle inside a garage or in a covered area. When it is necessary to park outside, park in a shady area or protect the vehicle with a body cover. Be careful not to scratch the paint surface when putting on or removing the body cover.

WASHING

Wash dirt off with a wet sponge and plenty of water. Clean the vehicle thoroughly using a mild soap, a special vehicle soap or general-purpose dishwashing liquid mixed with clean, lukewarm (never hot) water.

CAUTION

• Do not concentrate water spray directly on the sonar sensors (if so equipped) on the bumper as this will result in damage to the sensors. Do not use pressure washers capable of spraying water over 1,200 psi (8,274 kPa) to wash your vehicle. Use of high-pressure washers over 1,200 psi (8,274 kPa) can result in damage to or removal of paint or graphics. Avoid using a high-pressure washer closer than 12 inches (30 cm) to the vehicle. Always use a wide-angle nozzle only, keep the nozzle moving, and do not concentrate the water spray on any one area.
• Do not use car washes that use acid in the detergent. Some car washes, especially brushless ones, use some acid for cleaning. The acid may react with some plastic vehicle components, causing them to crack. This could affect their appearance, and also could cause them not to function properly. Always check with your car wash to confirm that acid is not used.
• Do not wash the vehicle with strong household soap, strong chemical detergents, gasoline or solvents.
• Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or while the vehicle body is hot, as the surface may become water-spotted.
• Avoid using tight-napped or rough clothes, such as washing mitts. Care must be taken when removing caked-on dirt or other foreign substances so the paint surface is not scratched or damaged.

Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with plenty of clean water.
Inside edges, seams, and folds on the doors, hatches, and hood are particularly vulnerable to the effects of road salt. Therefore, these areas must be cleaned regularly. Take care that the drain holes in the lower edge of the door are open. Spray water under the body and in the wheel wells to loosen the dirt and wash away road salt.
A damp chamois can be used to dry the vehicle to avoid water spots.

WAXING

Regular waxing protects the paint surface and helps retain the new vehicle’s appearance. Polishing is recommended to remove built-up wax residue and to avoid a weathered appearance before re-applying wax.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer to assist you in choosing the proper product.

• Wax your vehicle only after a thorough washing. Follow the instructions supplied with the wax.
• Do not use a wax containing any abrasives, cutting compounds or cleaners that may damage the vehicle finish.

Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a base coat/clear coat paint finish may dull the finish or leave swirl marks.

REMOVING SPOTS

Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust, insects, and tree sap as quickly as possible from the surface of the paint to avoid lasting damage or staining. Special cleaning products are available at a NISSAN dealer or any automotive accessory store. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for these products.

UNDERBODY

In areas where road salt is used in winter, it is necessary to clean the underbody regularly in order to prevent dirt and salt from building up and causing the acceleration of corrosion on the underbody and suspension. Before the winter period and again in the spring, the underseal must be checked and, if necessary, re-treated.

GLASS
When cleaning the rear window, it may be easier to clean if the high-mounted stop light is removed first. Be careful when removing the high-mounted stop light to reduce the risk of damaging the high-mounted stop light wires. To remove the high-mounted stop light:

1. Push downward on the plastic shelf around the stop light 1O,lift upward on the stop light, releasing it from the shelf 2O.
2. Once it is released from the shelf, gently pull the stop light towards the rear seat back 3O.

The high-mounted stop light must be properly reinstalled before driving your vehicle. Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust film from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass to become coated with a film after the vehicle is parked in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth will easily remove this film. To reinstall the high-mounted stop light, reverse steps 3O, then 2O.

CAUTION
When cleaning the inside of the windows, do not use sharp-edged tools, abrasive cleaners, or chlorine-based disinfectant cleaners. They could damage the electrical conductors, radio antenna elements, or rear window defogger elements.

ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS (if so equipped)

Wash the wheels regularly with a sponge dampened in a mild soap solution, especially during winter months in areas where road salt is used. If not removed, road salt can discolor the wheels.

CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid staining or discoloring the wheels:

• Do not use a cleaner that uses strong acid or alkali content to clean the wheels.
• Do not apply wheel cleaners to the wheels when they are hot. The wheel temperature should be the same as the ambient temperature.
• Rinse the wheel to completely remove the cleaner within 15 minutes after the cleaner is applied.

CHROME PARTS

Clean all chrome parts regularly with a non-abrasive chrome polish to maintain the finish.

TIRE DRESSINGS

NISSAN does not recommend the use of tire dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a coating to the tires to help reduce discoloration of the rubber. If a tire dressing is applied to the tires, it may react with the coating and form a compound. This compound may come off the tire while driving and stain the vehicle paint.
If you choose to use a tire dressing, take the following precautions:

Gasoline containing oxygenates
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing oxygenates such as ethanol, Methyl Tert-butyl Ether (MTBE) and methanol with or without advertising their presence. NISSAN does not recommend the use of fuels of which the oxygenate content and the fuel compatibility for your NISSAN can-not be readily determined. If in doubt, ask your service station manager.
If you use oxygenate-blend gasoline, please take the following precautions as the usage of such fuels may cause vehicle performance problems and/or fuel system damage.

• The fuel should be unleaded and have an octane rating no lower than that recommended for unleaded gasoline.
•  If an oxygenate blend other than methanol blend is used, it should contain no more than 15% oxygenate.
• If a methanol blend is used, it should contain no more than 5% methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). It should also contain a suitable amount of appropriate cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. If not properly formulated with appropriate cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors, such methanol blends may cause fuel system damage and/or vehicle performance problems. At this time, sufficient data is not avail-able to ensure that all methanol blends are suitable for use in NISSAN vehicles.

If any drivability problems such as engine stalling and difficult hot-starting are experienced after using oxygenate-blend fuels, immediately change to a non-oxygenate fuel or a fuel with a low blend of MTBE.
Take care not to spill gasoline during re-fueling. Gasoline containing oxygenates can cause paint damage.

E–15 fuel
E-15 fuel is a mixture of approximately 15%fuel ethanol and 85% unleaded gasoline. E-15 can only be used in vehicles designed to run on E-15 fuel. U.S. government regulations require fuel ethanol dispensing pumps to be identified with small, square, orange and black label with the common abbreviation or the appropriate percent-age for that region.

E–85 fuel
E-85 fuel is a mixture of approximately 85%fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. E-85 can only be used in a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV). Do not use E-85 in your vehicle. U.S. government regulations require fuel ethanol dispensing pumps to be identified by a small, square, orange and black label with the common abbreviation or the appropriate percentage for that region.

Fuel containing MMT

MMT, or methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, is an octane boosting additive. NISSAN does not recommend the use of fuel containing MMT. Such fuel may adversely affect vehicle performance, including the emissions control system. Note that while some fuel pumps label MMT content, not all do, so you may have to consult your gasoline retailer for more details.

Aftermarket fuel additives

NISSAN does not recommend the use of any aftermarket fuel additives (for ex-ample, fuel injector cleaner, octane booster, intake valve deposit removers, etc.) which are sold commercially. Many of these additives intended for gum, varnish or deposit removal may contain active sol-vents or similar ingredients that can be harmful to the fuel system and engine.

Octane rating tips

Using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than recommended can cause persistent, heavy “spark knock.” (“Spark knock” is a metallic rapping noise.) If severe, this can lead to engine damage. If you detect a persistent heavy spark knock even when using gasoline of the stated octane rating, or if you hear steady spark knock while holding a steady speed on level roads, it is recommended that you have a NISSAN dealer correct the condition. Failure to correct the condition is misuse of the vehicle, for which NISSAN is not responsible.
Incorrect ignition timing may result in spark knock, after-run and/or overheating, which may cause excessive fuel consumption or engine damage. If any of the above symptoms are encountered, have your vehicle checked. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for servicing.

However, now and then you may notice light spark knock for a short time while accelerating or driving up hills. This is not a cause for concern, because you get the greatest fuel benefit when there is light spark knock for a short time under heavy engine load.

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER RECOMMENDATIONS

Selecting the correct oil
It is essential to choose the correct grade, quality and viscosity engine oil to ensure satisfactory engine life and performance. For additional information, see “Recommended fluids/lubricants and capacities” (P. 10-2). NISSAN recommends the use of an energy-conserving oil in order to improve fuel economy.

VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION

WARNING

• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area inside a vehicle. In a collision, people rid-ing in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

TERMS

It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms before loading your vehicle:

• Curb Weight (actual weight of your vehicle) – vehicle weight including standard and optional equipment, fluids, emergency tools, and spare tire assembly. This weight does not include passengers and cargo.
• GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) – curb weight plus the combined weight of passengers and cargo.
• GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)  maximum total combined weight of the unloaded vehicle, passengers, cargo, hitch, trailer tongue load and any other optional equipment. This information is located on the F.M.V.S.S./
  C. M.V.S.S. certification label.
• GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) -maximum weight (load) limit specified for the front or rear axle. This information is located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.
• GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) – The maximum total weight rating of the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and trailer.
• Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit, Total load capacity – maximum total weight limit specified of the load (passengers and cargo) for the vehicle. This is the maximum combined weight of occupants and cargo that can be loaded into the vehicle. If the vehicle is used to tow a trailer, the trailer tongue weight must be included as part of the cargo load. This information is located on the Tire and Loading In-formation label.
• Cargo capacity – the permissible weight of cargo, the subtracted weight of occupants from the load limit.

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY

Before driving a loaded vehicle, con-firm that you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for your vehicle. Both the GVWR and GAWR are located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label. For additional information, see “Measurement of weights” (P. 10-20).
Do not exceed the load limit of your vehicle shown as “The combined weight of occupants and cargo” on the Tire and Loading Information la-bel. Do not exceed the number of occupants shown as “Seating Capacity” on the Tire and Loading Information label.

To get “the combined weight of occupants and cargo”, add the weight of all occupants, then add the total cargo weight. Examples are shown in the following illustration.

1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lbs. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 X 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, the load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

Towing a trailer with a vehicle that is not intended for towing may result in an accident involving injury or death.

WARNING
Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle. Towing a trailer may result in an accident involving injury or death.

Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm that you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for your vehicle. For additional information, see “Measurement of weights” (P. 10-20).
Also, check tires for proper inflation pressures. For additional information, see the “Tire and Loading Information label” (P. 8-31).

LOADING TIPS

• The GVW must not exceed GVWR or GAWR as specified on the F.M.V.S.S./ C. M.V.S.S. certification label.
• Do not load the front and rear axles to the GAWR. Doing so will exceed the GVWR.

WARNING

• Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
• Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR or the maximum front and rear GAWRs. If you do, parts of your vehicle can break, tire damage could occur, or it can change the way your vehicle handles. This could result in loss of control and cause personal injury.
• Overloading not only can shorten the life of your vehicle and the tire but can also cause unsafe vehicle handling and longer braking distances. This may cause a premature tire failure which could result in a serious accident and personal injury. Failures caused by over-loading are not covered by the vehicle’s warranty.

MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS

Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that could affect the balance of your vehicle. When the vehicle is loaded, drive to a scale and weigh the front and the rear wheels separately to determine axle loads. Individual axle loads should not exceed either of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR). The total of the axle loads should not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). These ratings are given on the vehicle certification label. If weight ratings are exceeded, move or remove items to bring all weights below the rating.

Nissan ALTIMA 2022 “Uniform tire quality grading and Owner’s Manual/Service Manual order information” User Guide

2022 Nissan ALTIMA Uniform Tire Quality User Guide

UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING

DOT (Department of Transportation) Quality Grades: All passenger car tires must conform to federal safety requirements in addition to these grades.
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example:

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For ex-ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

Traction AA, A, B and C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

Temperature A, B and C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat, and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Mo-tor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the mini-mum required by law.

WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat build-up and possible tire failure.
