driving down a grade with a trailer or heavy load to help control
vehicle speed.

Ⅲ Push the TOW MODE switch to activate tow mode. The indicator light on the TOW
MODE switch illuminates when tow mode is selected.
Ⅲ Push the TOW MODE switch again to turn tow mode off.
Ⅲ Tow mode is automatically canceled when the engine is turned off.
FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT
This vehicle is equipped with the Nissan Advanced Air Bag
System. Under some conditions, depending on the type of
occupant or object detected in the front passenger seat by the
occupant classification sensor, the front-passenger air bag is
designed to automatically turn OFF. When the front-
passenger air bag is OFF, the front-passenger air bag status
light will illuminate.* For example:
Ⅲ When the system detects that the front passenger’s seat is occupied by a small adult,
child or child restraint as outlined in the Owner’s Manual, the will illuminate to
indicate that the front-passenger air bag is OFF and will not inflate in a crash.
Ⅲ When the front passenger’s seat is occupied and the passenger meets the conditions
outlined in the Owner’s Manual, the will not illuminate to indicate that the front
passenger air bag is operational.
*When the system detects that the front passenger’s seat is unoccupied, the
passenger air bag status light will not illuminate, even though the front passenger
air bag is OFF.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
This system monitors tire pressure. If the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates, check the tire pressure in all four tires.
Adjust the low tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pres-
sure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label located in the
driver’s door opening. After tire pressures are adjusted, the vehicle
will need to be driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate
the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning light.
