What is the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver?
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. It will operate most Radio Frequency (RF) devices such as garage doors, gates, home and office lighting, entry door locks, and security systems. It is powered by the vehicle’s battery, so no separate batteries are required. If the vehicle’s battery is discharged or is disconnected, HomeLink® will retain all programming.
What should I do when the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is programmed or when selling the vehicle?
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-ceiver is programmed, retain the original transmitter for future programming procedures, such as new vehicle purchases. Upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink® Universal Transceiver buttons should be erased for security purposes.
What are the warnings I should be aware of regarding the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver?
- The vehicle’s EV system should be turned off while programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
- Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse 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, and using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death.
- During the programming procedure, the 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 is being programmed.
How do I program HomeLink®?
The following steps show generic instructions on how to program a HomeLink® button:
- Position the end of the hand-held transmitter 1-3 in (26-76 mm) away from the HomeLink® surface, keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.
- Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold the desired HomeLink® button and handheld transmitter button. DO NOT release until the HomeLink® indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released (the rapid flashing indicates successful programming). Some devices to be programmed may require replacing Step 2 with the cycling procedure noted in the “Programming HomeLink® for Canadian customers and gate openers”.
- Press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light.
- If the indicator light is solid/continuous, programming is complete, and the device should activate when the HomeLink® button is pressed and released.
- If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a solid/continuous light, continue with Steps 4-6 for a rolling code device.
- 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.
- Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. Once the button is pressed, there are approximately 30 seconds to initiate the next step.
- Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button for two seconds and release. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence up to 3 times to complete the programming process. HomeLink® should now activate the rolling code equipped device.
If there are any questions or difficulties programming the HomeLink® buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at: http://www.homelink.com/nissan or call 1-800-355-3515.
How do I program 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 programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. If you live in Canada or are having difficulties programming a gate operator or garage door opener by using the “Programming HomeLink®” procedures, replace “Programming HomeLink®” Step 2 with the following:
When programming a garage door opener, etc., unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent possible damage to the garage door opener components.
Step 2: Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold the desired HomeLink® button and the hand-held transmitter button. During programming, the hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. Continue to press and hold the desired HomeLink® button while you press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter every two seconds until the frequency signal has been learned. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds upon successful programming. DO NOT release until the HomeLink® indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. The rapid flashing indicates successful programming. Proceed with “Programming HomeLink®” step 3 to complete. Remember to plug the device back in when programming is completed.
How do I operate the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver?
After it is programmed, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can be used to activate the programmed device.

What is the Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-BSI) system designed to do?
The I-BSI system helps alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes and helps assist the driver to return the vehicle to the center of the traveling lane.
What should drivers always do when changing lanes, regardless of the I-BSI system?
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 I-BSI system.
How does the I-BSI system work?
The I-BSI system uses radar sensors installed near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles in an adjacent lane. It also uses a camera installed behind the windshield to monitor the lane markers of your traveling lane.
What is the detection zone of the radar sensors for the I-BSI system?
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either side of your vehicle within the detection zone. 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.
At what speed does the I-BSI system operate?
The I-BSI system operates above approximately 37 MPH (60 km/h).
What happens when the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the detection zone?
The side indicator light illuminates.
What happens if the turn signal is activated when the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the detection zone?
The system chimes (twice), and the side indicator light and I-BSI indicator flash. The side indicator light and I-BSI indicator continue to flash until the detected vehicle leaves the detection zone.
What happens if the I-BSI system is ON and the vehicle approaches a lane marker while another vehicle is in the detection zone?
The system chimes (three times), and the side indicator light and I-BSI indicator flash. The I-BSI system activates to help return the vehicle back to the center of the driving lane. The I-BSI system operates regardless of turn signal usage.

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 indicator (yellow) in the vehicle information display and providing an audible alert. In addition, the system applies partial braking. If the driver applies the brakes quickly and forcefully 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 increase 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. Then the system applies partial braking. If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system applies harder braking automatically.
What should you expect to hear while the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system is operating?
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 Pedestrian Detection system is operating properly.
What happens when braking is performed by the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system?
The vehicle’s stop lights come on.
What does the system do 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 of a collision should one be unavoidable.
What happens if the driver is handling the steering wheel, accelerating or braking?
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system will function later or will not function.
Under what conditions will the automatic braking cease?
- When the steering wheel is turned as far as necessary to avoid a collision.
- When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
- When there is no longer a vehicle, pedestrian detected ahead.
What happens 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.
What should you expect if the brake pedal is depressed while the brake is applied by the system?

- The sonar system may not detect fluffy objects such as snow, cloth, cotton, glass-wool, etc.; thin objects such as rope, wire and chain, etc.; or wedge-shaped objects.
- The front and rear sonar sensors detect the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle by detecting the sound wave reflected from the surface of an obstacle. When there is a sound such as horn, or an ultrasonic source (such as sonar of other vehicles) around the vehicle, the sensor (sonar) may not detect objects properly.
- The sonar system may detect some types of curbstones.
- 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.
- 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 sonar sensors with sharp objects.
- If the sensors are covered, the accuracy of the sonar function will be diminished.
- Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could result in serious injury or death.
- The sonar system is deactivated at speeds above 6 MPH (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower speeds.
- The sonar system may not detect the following objects: Pedestrians who approach the vehicle from the side or Objects placed next to the vehicle.
- The sonar system may unintentionally operate in the following conditions: When there is overgrown grass in the area around the vehicle, When there is a structure (for example, a wall, a toll gate equipment, a narrow tunnel or a parking lot gate) near the side of the vehicle, When there are bumps, protrusions or manhole covers on the road surface, When the vehicle drives through a draped flag or a curtain, When there is an accumulation of snow or ice behind the vehicle or When driving on a steep hill.
When does the sonar system operate?
The system informs with a visual and audible signal of front obstacles when the shift lever is in the “D” (Drive) position and both front and rear obstacles when the shift lever is in the “R” (Reverse) position. The system is deactivated at speeds above 6 MPH (10 km/h) and reactivated at lower speeds. The intermittent tone will stop after 3 seconds when an obstacle is detected by only the corner sensor and the distance does not change. The tone will stop when the obstacle get 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.
Where does the sonar indicator appear?
When the vehicle moves closer to an obstacle, the sonar indicator (detected area) appears in the vehicle information display. The sonar indicator also appears on the camera view of the center display.
How do I enable or disable the sonar system?

What are some safe driving tips for cold weather?
- Whatever the condition, drive with caution. Accelerate and decelerate with great care. If accelerating or decelerating too fast, the drive wheels will lose even more traction.
- Allow more stopping distance in cold weather driving. Braking should be started sooner than on dry pavement.
- Keep at a greater distance from the vehicle in front of you on slippery roads.
- Wet ice (32°F, 0°C and freezing rain), very cold snow and ice can be slick and very difficult to drive on. The vehicle will have a lot less traction or grip under these conditions. Try to avoid driving on wet ice until the road is salted or sanded.
- Watch for slippery spots (glaring ice). These may appear on an otherwise clear road in shaded areas. If a patch of ice is seen ahead, brake before reaching it. Try not to brake while actually on the ice, and avoid any sudden steering maneuvers.
- Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
What precautions should I take to prevent damage to the Li-ion battery in cold weather?
Do not store a vehicle in temperatures below -13°F (-25°C) for over seven days. If the outside temperature is -13°F (-25°C) or less, the Li-ion battery may freeze and it cannot be charged or provide power to drive the vehicle. Move the vehicle to a warm location.
How does cold weather affect the vehicle’s driving range and charging?
- Driving range may be substantially reduced in extremely cold conditions (for example under -4°F (-20°C)).
- Using the climate control system to heat the cabin when outside temperature is below 32°F (0°C) uses more electricity and affects driving range more than when using the heater when the temperature is above 32°F (0°C).
- The Li-ion battery requires more time to charge when the Li-ion battery temperature control system (if so equipped) operates.
- The Climate Ctrl. Timer does not turn on while the Li-ion battery temperature control system (if so equipped) operates.
- Set only the charging timer [End Time] when charging in cold weather. The vehicle automatically determines when to start charging, to fully charge the Li-ion battery, whether or not the Li-ion battery temperature control system (if so equipped) operates.
What should I do to maintain the 12-volt battery in cold weather?
If the 12-volt battery is not fully charged during extremely cold weather conditions, the 12-volt battery fluid may freeze and damage the 12-volt battery. To maintain maximum efficiency, the 12-volt battery should be checked regularly.
What kind of tires are recommended for cold weather driving?
If you operate your vehicle on snowy or icy roads, NISSAN recommends the use of MUD & SNOW or ALL SEASON tires on all four wheels. It is recommended you consult a NISSAN certified ARIYA dealer for the tire type, size, speed rating and availability information. For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires may be used.
What special winter equipment should I carry in the vehicle?
It is recommended that the following items be carried in the vehicle during the winter:
- A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove ice and snow from the windows.
- A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the jack to give it firm support.
- A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snowdrifts.
What should I do with the parking brake in cold weather?

What is the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)?
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors tire pressure of all tires. When the low tire pressure warning light is lit, and the “Tire Pressure Low – Add Air” warning message is displayed in the vehicle information display, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. 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).
What should I do 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.
- Check the tire pressure for all four tires and 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. If you have a flat tire, repair it with an emergency tire puncture repair kit as soon as possible.
What are some important TPMS warnings and cautions?
- Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those who use a pacemaker should contact the electric medical equipment manufacturer for the possible influences before use.
- 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.
- Replacing tires with those not originally specified by NISSAN could affect the proper operation of the TPMS.
- NISSAN recommends using only Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tire Sealant provided with your vehicle. Other tire sealants may damage the valve stem seal which can cause the tire to lose air pressure. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN certified ARIYA dealer as soon as possible after using tire repair sealant.
- The TPMS may not function properly when the wheels are equipped with tire chains or the wheels are buried in snow.
- Do not place metalized film or any metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows. This may cause poor reception of the signals from the tire pressure sensors, and the TPMS will not function properly.
- Some devices and transmitters may temporarily interfere with the operation of the TPMS and cause the TPMS indicator light to illuminate.
- When inflating the tires and checking the tire pressure, never bend the valves.
- Use Genuine NISSAN valve caps that comply with the factory-fitted valve cap specifications.
- Do not use metal valve caps.
- Fit the valve caps properly. Without the valve caps the valve and tire pressure monitor sensors could be damaged.
- Do not damage the valves and sensors when storing the wheels or fitting different tires.
- Replace the TPMS sensor valve stem (including valve core and cap) and screw (if so equipped) when the tires are replaced due to wear or age. The screw (if so equipped) must be fitted correctly with a torque setting of 1.4 ± 0.1 N.m. The TPMS sensors can be used again.
How do I repair a flat tire using the emergency tire puncture repair kit?

What should I know about the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)?
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which monitors tire pressure of all tires. When the low tire pressure warning light is lit, and the “Tire Pressure Low – Add Air” warning message is displayed in the vehicle information display, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system may not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example, a flat tire while driving).
How do I check tire inflation pressure?
Check the pressure of the tires often and always prior to long-distance trips. The recommended tire pressure specifications are shown on the Tire and Loading Information label under the “Cold Tire Pressure” heading. The Tire and Loading Information label is affixed to the driver’s side center pillar. Tire pressures should be checked regularly because most tires naturally lose air over time and can lose air suddenly when driven over potholes or other objects or if the vehicle strikes a curb while parking.
The tire pressures should be checked when the tires are cold. The tires are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert provides visual and audible signals outside the vehicle for inflating the tires to the recommended COLD tire pressure. Incorrect tire pressure, including under inflation, may adversely affect tire life and vehicle handling.
What warnings should I heed regarding wheels and tires?
Improperly inflated tires can fail suddenly and cause an accident. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label. The vehicle weight capacity is indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label. Do not load your vehicle beyond this capacity. Overloading your vehicle may result in reduced tire life, unsafe operating conditions due to premature tire failure, or unfavorable handling characteristics and could also lead to a serious accident. Loading beyond the specified capacity may also result in failure of other vehicle components. Before taking a long trip, or whenever you heavily load your vehicle, use a tire pressure gauge to ensure that the tire pressures are at the specified level.
How do I check the tire pressure?
- Remove the valve stem cap from the tire.
- Press the pressure gauge squarely onto the valve stem. Do not press too hard or force the valve stem sideways, or air will escape. If the hissing sound of air escaping from the tire is heard while checking the pressure, reposition the gauge to eliminate this leakage.
- Remove the gauge.
- Read the tire pressure on the gauge stem and compare it to the specification shown on the Tire and Loading Information label.
- Add air to the tire as needed. If too much air is added, press the core of the valve stem briefly with the tip of the gauge stem to release pressure. Recheck the pressure and add or release air as needed.
- Install the valve stem cap.
- Check the pressure of all other tires.
What is the composition of the tire size?
- P: The “P” indicates the tire is designed for passenger vehicles. (Not all tires have this information.)
- Three-digit number (215): This number gives the width in millimeters of the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall edge.
- Two-digit number (60): This number, known as the aspect ratio, gives the tire’s ratio of height to width.
- R: The “R” stands for radial.
- Two-digit number (16): This number is the wheel or rim diameter in inches.
- Two- or three-digit number (94): This number is the tire’s load index. It is a measurement of how much weight each tire can support. You may not find this information on all tires because it is not required by law.
- H: Tire speed rating. You should not drive the vehicle faster than the tire speed rating.

- The word “radial”: The word “radial” is shown, if the tire has radial structure.
- Manufacturer or brand name: Manufacturer or brand name is shown.
- Other tire-related terminology: Intended Outboard Sidewall is (1) the sidewall that contains a whitewall, bears white lettering or bears manufacturer, brand and/or model name molding that is higher or deeper than the same molding on the other sidewall of the tire, or (2) the outward facing sidewall of an asymmetrical tire that has a particular side that must always face outward when mounted on a vehicle.
What should I keep in mind when changing or replacing tires?
When changing or replacing tires, be sure all four tires are of the same type (Example: Summer, All Season or Snow) and construction. A NISSAN certified ARIYA dealer may be able to help you with information about tire type, size, speed rating and availability. Replacement tires may have a lower speed rating than the factory equipped tires, and may not match the potential maximum vehicle speed, and you should never exceed the maximum speed rating of the tire. Replacing tires with those not originally specified by NISSAN could affect the proper operation of the TPMS.
Always use tires of the same type, size, brand, construction and tread pattern on all four wheels. Failure to do so may result in a circumference difference between tires on the front and rear axles which can cause the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system to malfunction resulting in personal injury or death, excessive tire wear and may damage the transmission and differential gears.
When can I use tire chains?
Tire chains/cables should not be installed on 255/45 R20 tires, as doing so will cause damage to the vehicle. If you plan to use tire chains/ cables, you should install 235/55 R19 tires on your vehicle. Use of tire chains may be prohibited according to location, so check the local laws before installing tire chains.
How do I install tire chains?
When installing tire chains, make sure they are the proper size for the tires on your vehicle and are installed according to the chain manufacturer’s suggestions. Use only SAE Class S chains. Class “S” chains are used on vehicles with restricted tire to vehicle clearance. Vehicles that can use Class “S” chains are designed to meet the SAE standard minimum clearances between the tire and the closest vehicle suspension or body component required to accommodate the use of a winter traction device (tire chains or cables). The minimum clearances are determined using the factory equipped tire size.
Other types may damage your vehicle. Use chain tensioners when recommended by the tire chain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit. Loose end links of the tire chain must be secured or removed to prevent the possibility of whipping action damage to the fenders or underbody. If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle when using tire chains. In addition, drive at a reduced speed, otherwise, your vehicle may be damaged and/or vehicle handling and performance may be adversely affected.
Tire chains must be installed only on the front wheels and not on the rear wheels. Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Driving with tire chains in such conditions can cause damage to the various mechanisms of the vehicle due to some overstress. Also, the braking and traction capabilities of studded snow tires, on wet or dry surfaces, may be poorer than that of non-studded snow tires.
How often should I rotate my tires?
NISSAN recommends rotating the tires at the specified interval shown in the maintenance schedule. As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the specified torque with a torque wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque: 80 ft-lb (108 N·m)
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to the specification at all times, and it is recommended that wheel nuts be tightened to the specification at each tire rotation interval.
What should I do after rotating the tires?
After rotating the tires, check and adjust the tire pressure. Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle has been driven for 600 miles (1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire, etc.). After rotating the tires, do not use the Easy-Fill Tire Alert to adjust the tire pressure. Instead, use a gauge to adjust the tires to the correct pressure in accordance with Tire and Loading Information label. To ensure proper operation of the Easy-Fill Tire Alert system after a tire rotation, reset and register the sensor to their new installed locations. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN certified ARIYA dealer for this service.
What should I know about tire wear and damage?
Tires should be periodically inspected for wear, cracking, bulging or objects caught in the tread. If excessive wear, cracks, bulging or deep cuts are found, the tire(s) should be replaced. The original tires have built-in tread wear indicators. When wear indicators are visible, the tire(s) should be replaced. Tires degrade with age and use, so have tires over 6 years old checked by a qualified technician, because some tire damage may not be obvious. Replace the tires as necessary to prevent tire failure and possible personal injury.
What should I do when replacing a tire?
When replacing a tire, use the same size, tread design, speed rating and load carrying capacity as originally equipped.
What warnings should I heed when replacing wheels and tires?
The use of tires other than those recommended or the mixed use of tires of different brands, construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), or tread patterns can adversely affect the ride, braking, handling, VDC system, ground clearance, body-to-tire clearance, tire chain clearance, speedometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper height. Some of these effects may lead to accidents and could result in serious personal injury. Replacing tires with those not originally specified by NISSAN could affect the proper operation of the TPMS.
The TPMS sensor may be damaged if it is not handled correctly, so be careful when handling the TPMS sensor. When replacing the TPMS sensor, the ID registration may be required, and it is recommended you visit a NISSAN certified ARIYA dealer for ID registration. Do not use a valve stem cap that is not specified by NISSAN, as the valve stem cap may become stuck. Be sure that the valve stem caps are correctly fitted, otherwise the valve may be clogged up with dirt and cause a malfunction or loss of pressure.
Do not install a damaged or deformed wheel or tire even if it has been repaired. Such wheels or tires could have structural damage and could fail without warning. The use of a retread tire is not recommended.
What should I keep in mind on All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models?

What should I do if I detect any unusual sounds, vibrations or smells?
During the normal day-to-day operation of the vehicle, general maintenance should be performed regularly as prescribed in this section. If you detect any unusual sounds, vibrations or smells, be sure to check for the cause or a NISSAN certified ARIYA dealer check it promptly. In addition, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN certified ARIYA dealer if you think that repairs are required. When performing any checks or maintenance work, closely observe the “Maintenance precautions”.
What may result in personal injury?
Failure to follow the procedures listed within this section may result in personal injury.
What general maintenance should be performed outside of the vehicle?
- Doors and motor hood: Check that the doors and motor hood operate properly and that all latches lock securely. Lubricate hinges, latches, latch pins, rollers, and links if necessary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the motor hood from opening when the primary latch is released. When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check lubrication frequently. Check that the gas stays or struts properly and securely hold the hood, trunk, or rear hatch fully open. If the hood, trunk, or rear hatch is not held open, have the gas stays or struts replaced.
- Lights*: Clean the headlights on a regular basis. Make sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other lights are all operating properly and installed securely. Also, check headlight aim.
- Road wheel nuts (lug nuts)*: When checking the tires, make sure no wheel nuts are missing, and check for any loose wheel nuts. Tighten if necessary.
- Tire rotation*: Rotate tires at the specified interval shown in the maintenance schedule.
- Tires*: Check the pressure with a gauge often and always prior to long distance trips. If necessary, adjust the pressure in all tires, to the pressure specified. Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) tire pressure sensor: It is recommended that you replace the TPMS tire pressure sensor assembly when the tires are replaced due to wear or age.
- Wheel alignment and balance: If the vehicle pulls to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or if you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel balancing may be needed.
- Windshield: Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every six months for cracks or other damage. Have a damaged windshield.
What general maintenance should be performed inside of the vehicle?
- Electric shift P (Park) position mechanism: On a steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely while the vehicle is in the P (Park) position without applying any brakes.
- Parking brake: Check the parking brake operation regularly. The vehicle should be securely held on a fairly steep hill with only the parking brake applied. If the parking brake needs adjusting, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN certified ARIYA dealer for this service.
- Seats: Check seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc., to ensure they operate smoothly and all latches lock securely in every position. Check that the head restraints/headrests move up and down smoothly and the locks (if so equipped) hold securely in all latched positions.
- Seat belts: Check that all parts of the seat belt system (for example, buckles, anchors, adjusters and retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.
- Steering wheel: Check for changes in the steering conditions, such as excessive free play, hard steering or strange noises.
- Warning lights and chimes: Make sure all warning lights and chimes are operating.
