Frequently Asked Questions - Maxima (2023) NISSAN

What type of fuel should I use for the 2023 Nissan Maxima?
Nissan recommends using unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Research octane number 96). If unavailable, regular unleaded (87 AKI) may be used but performance may decrease.
How do I adjust the front power seats?
Use the power seat switches located on the side of the seat. The forward/backward switch slides the seat, the recline switch adjusts the seatback angle, and the lifter/tilt switch adjusts the seat cushion height and angle. The driver's seat also has a lumbar support switch.
How do I install a child restraint using the LATCH system?
Remove the plastic covers from the LATCH anchors. Attach the child restraint's lower anchors to the lower anchor bars located in the rear seat. For forward-facing restraints, also attach the top tether strap to the anchor point on the rear parcel shelf. Ensure the restraint moves less than 1 inch from side to side.
What does the seat belt warning light mean?
The seat belt warning light and chime remind you to fasten the driver, front passenger, and rear passenger seat belts. It activates if the driver's belt is unfastened, or if the front passenger's belt is unfastened when the seat is occupied, or if any rear belt is unfastened after being fastened.
How do I use the automatic locking retractor (ALR) mode for child restraints?
Pull the shoulder belt all the way out until it stops. This activates the ALR mode. Allow the belt to retract while pulling up on the shoulder belt to remove slack. The belt will lock and cannot be extended until unbuckled and fully retracted.
What is the recommended tire pressure for the 2023 Maxima?
Refer to the Tire and Loading Information label typically located on the driver's side center pillar or door. Cold tire pressure is usually around 35 psi for both front and rear tires.
How often should I change the engine oil?
Follow the maintenance schedule in your Owner's Manual. Under normal driving conditions, oil and filter change is recommended every 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first.
What should I do during the break-in period?
For the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km), avoid full-throttle starts, hard braking, and constant high speeds. Vary your speed and engine RPM to help break in the engine and transmission for better long-term performance.
How do I fold down the rear seats?
To fold down either side of the rear seat, open the trunk and pull the strap located on the seatback. The seat can also be accessed from the passenger compartment by opening the access cover on the rear parcel shelf and pushing the button to fold the seatback down.
What safety systems are available on the 2023 Maxima?
The vehicle is equipped with multiple safety features including front, side, curtain, and knee airbags, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Blind Spot Warning (BSW), and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).

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, sobesureto learn the best way to transport your child.

There are three basic types of children-straints systems:

•Rear-facingchildrestraints

- Forward-facingchildrestraints - Boosterseats

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 out grow rear-facing child restraints and are at least 1 year old. Booster seats are used to help position vehicle lap/shoulder beltonach child who can no longer use a forward-facing child restraint.

WARNING

Infantsandchildrenneedspecialpro-tection.Thevehicle'sseatbeltsmay notfitthemproperly.Theshoulderbelt maycometooclosetothefaceorneck. Thelapbeltmaynotfitovertheirsmall hipbones.Inanaccident,animprop- erlyfittingseatbeltcouldcauseserious orfatalinjury.Alwaysuseappropriate childrestraints.

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 "Childrestrants" (P.1-21).

This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and front passenger seats. This system is designed to meet certification requirements under U.S. regulations. It is also permitted in Canada. However, although the information, cautions and warnings in this manual still apply and must be followed.

The drivers supplemental front-impact air bag is located in the center of the steering wheel. The front passenger supplemental front-impact air bag is mounted in the dashboard abovethe glove box. The front air bags are designed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions, although they may inflate if the forces in another type of collisionaresimilartothoseofahigher severity frontal impact. They may not inflate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle

damage(orlackofit)isnotalwaysanindicationofproperfrontairbagsystem operation.

TheNISSANAdvancedAirBagSystem monitorsinformationfromthecrashzone sensor,theAirbagControlUnit(ACU),seat beltbucklesensorsandoccupationclassificationsensor(weightsensor).Inflatoroperationisbasedontheseverityofacollisionandseatbeltusageforthedriver.For thefrontpassenger,theoccupantclassificationsensorisalsomonitored.Basedon informationfromthesensor,onlyonefront airbagmayinflateinacrash,depending on thecrashseverityandwhetherthefront occupantsarebeltedorunbelted.Additionally,thefrontpassengerairbagand frontpassengersupplementalkneeair bagmaybeautomaticallyturnedoffunder someconditions,dependingontheweight detectedonthefrontpassengerseatand howtheseatbeltisused.Ifthefrontpassengerairbagandfrontpassenger supplementalkneeairbagareOFF,the frontpassengerairbagstatuslightwillbe illuminated.Foradditionalinformation,see "Frontpassengerairbagandstatuslight" (P1-52).Onefrontairbaginflatingdoesnot indicate improper performance of the system.

If you have any questions about your air bagsystem, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer to obtain information about the system. If you are considering modification of your vehicle duetoadisability, you may also contact NISSAN. Contact information is contained in the front of this Owner's Manual.

When a frontair bag inflates, a fairly loud noisem maybe heard, followed by there- lease of smoke. This smokes notharmful and does not indicate a fire. Ca should be takentonotinhaleit, as it may cause irritation and choking. Those with a history of a breathing conditions should get fresh hair promptly.

Thedriverairbagandotherairbagsinyour vehiclearenotpartofthissystem.

The purpose of the regulation is to help reduce risk of injury or death from an inflating air bag to certain front passenger seat occupants, such as children, by requiring the air bag to be automatically turned OFF. Certainsensors are used to meet the requirements.

Thiscanalsoresultinthe passengerairbagandfrontpassenger supplementalkneeairbaginflatingina crashinsteadofbeingOFF.Foradditional information,see"Childrestraints"(P.1-21).

If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the front passenger air bag and front passengers supplement alkneair bag are designed not to inflate in a crash. However, heavy objects placed on these at could result in air bag inflation, because of the object's weight detected by the occupant classification sensor. Other conditions could also result in air bag inflation, such as if child is standing on these at or lift two children are on these at, contrary to the instructions in this manual. Always besure that you and all vehicle occupants are seated and restrained properly.

Usingthefrontpassengerairbagstatus light,youcanmonitorwhenthefrontpassengerairbagandfrontpassenger supplementalkneeairbagareautomaticallyturnedOFF.

Ifchildrestraint must be used in the front seat, the front passenger air bag status light may not be illuminated, depending on the sizeof the child and the type of child restraint being used. If the air bag status light is not illuminated (indicating that the front passenger air bag and front passengers supplement a knee air bag might inflate an acrash), it could be that the child restraint or seat belt is not being used properly. Makes sure that the child restraint is installed properly, these at belt is used properly and the occupant is positioned properly. If the air bag status light is still not illuminated, reposition the occupant or child restraint in are a seat.

If the front passenger air bag status light will not illuminate event though you believe that the child restraint, these at belts and the occupant are properly positioned, it is recommended that you take your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer. ANISSAN dealer can check system status by using as special tool. However, until you have confirmed with a dealer that your air bag is working properly, reposition the occupant or child restraint in a separate seat.

WARNING

The tire replacement indicator is not a substitute for regular tire checks, including tire pressure checks. For additional information, see "Changing wheels and tires" (P. 8-36). Many factors including tire inflation, alignment, driving habits and road conditions affect tire wear and when tires should be replaced. Setting the tire replacement indicator for a certain driving distance does not mean your tires will last that long. Use the tire replacement indicator as a guide only and always perform regular tire checks. Failure to perform regular tire checks, including tire pressure checks could result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to a collision, which could result in serious personal injury or death.

TIREPRESSUREMONITORING SYSTEM(TPMS)

Eachtire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressurerecommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle hastires of different sizethanthesize indicated on the vehicle placard tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure forthosetires.)

Asanaddedsafetyfeature,yourvehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates alow tire pressure telltale when none or more of your tires is significantly under- inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and checkally your tires as soon as possible, and in flat the them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under- inflated tire cause esthetire to overheat and can lead to it failure. Under-Inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tiredread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.

PleasenotethattheTPMSisnotasubstitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correcttirepressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMSlowtirepressure telltale.

Yourvehiclehasalsobenequippedwitha TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate whenthesystemlsnotoperatingproperly. TheTPMSmalfunctionindicatoriscombinedwiththelowtirepressuretelltale. Whenthesystemdetectsamalfunction, thetelltalewillflashforapproximatelyone minuteandthenremaincontinuouslyilluminated. Thissequencewillcontinueupon subsequentvehiclestart-upsaslongas themalfunctionexists. Whenthemalfunctionindicatorisilluminated,thesystem maynotbeabletodetectorsignallowtire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions mayoccurforvarietyofreasons,includingtheinstallationofreplacementoralternatetiresorwheelsonthevehiclethat prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. AlwayschecktheTPMSmalfunction telltaleafterreplacingoneormoretiresor wheelsonyourvehicleto ensurethatthe replacementoralternatetiresandwheels allowtheTPMStocontinuetofunction properly.

Additional information:

  • When using a wheel without the TPMS such asthesparetire, the TPMS does not monitor the tire pressure of the spare tire.
    •TheTPMSwillactivateonlywhenthevehicleisdrivenatspeedsabove16mph (25km/h).Also,thissystemmaynotdetectasuddendropintirepressure(for example,aflattirewhiledriving).
  • Thelowtirepressurewarninglightdoes notautomaticallyturnoffwhenthetire pressureisadjusted. After all four tires are inflated to therecommended pressure, the vehicle must bed driven at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS and turnoff the lowtire pressure warning light. Use atire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure.
    •The "TirePressureLow-AddAir" warning appears in the vehicle information display when the low tire pressure warning light is illuminated and low tire pressure is detected. The "TirePressureLow-Add Air" warning turn so off when the low tire pressure warning light turn so off.

- When using a wheel without the TPMS such asthesparetire, when a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is replaced, tire pressure will not be indicated, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute. The light will remain on after 1 minute. Have your tires replaced and/or TPMS system reset as soon as possible. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer forth this service. - Replacing tires with those not originally specified by NISSAN could affect the proper operation of the TPMS. - Donot inject any tire liquidora aerosol tire sealant into the tires, asthismay cause a malfunction of the tire pressures sensors.

CAUTION

Do not place metalized film or any metalparts(antenna,etc.)onthewindows.Thismaycausepoorreception ofthesignalsfromthetirepressure sensors,andtheTPMSwillnotfunction properly.

Usingthebrakes

Avoidrestingyourfootonthebrakepedal whiledriving.Thiswilloverheatthebrakes, wearoutthebrakepadsfaster,andreduce gasmileage.

To help reduce brakewear and to prevent the brakes from overheating, reduce speed and downshift to a lower gear before going downslope or long grade. Overheated brakes may reduce braking performance and could result in loss of vehicle control.

WARNING

-While driving on aslippery surface, be careful when braking, accelerating orderownshifting. Abrupt braking or accelerating could cause the wheels to skid and result in an accident.

- If the engine is not running or is turned off while driving, the power assist for the brakes will not work. Braking will be harder.

Wetbrakes

When the vehicle is washed or driven throughwater,thebrakesmaygetwet.As aresult,yourbrakingdistancewillbelong- gerandthevehiclemaypulltooneside duringbraking.

Self-testfeature

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) includes electronic sensors, electric pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer. The computer has been built-indiagnostic feature that test the system each time you start the engine and mov the vehicle at all speed in forward or reverse. When these self-test occurs, you may hear a "clunk" noise and/or feel apulsion in the brake pedal. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. If the computer senses a malfunction, it switches the ABS off and illuminate the ABS warning light on the instrument panel. The brakes system then operates normally but without anti-lock assistance.

If the ABS warning light illuminates during the self-testor while driving, have the vehicle checked. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer forth this service.

MOSTCOMMONFACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO VEHICLE CORROSION

Mostvehiclecorrosioniscausedby:

•The accumulation of moisture-retaining dirt and debris in body panel sections, cavities, and other areas.

- Damagetopaintandotherprotective coatingscausedbygravelandstone chipsorminortrafficcollisions.

ENVIRONMENTALFACTORS INFLUENCETHERATE OF CORROSION

Moisture

Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on the vehicle body underside can accelerate corrosion. Wet floor coverings will not dry completely inside the vehicle and should be removed for drying to avoid floor panel corrosion.

Relativehumidity

Corrosionwillbeacceleratedinareas of highrelativehumidity,especiallythose areaswherethetemperaturesstayabove freezingandwhereatmosphericpollution existsandroadsaltisused.

Temperature

Hightemperaturesacceleratetherate of corrosion to those parts which are not well ventilated.

Airpollution

Industrial pollution, the presence of salt in the air incoastalareas, or heavy roadsalt use accelerates the corrosion process. Road salt also accelerates the disintegration of paintsurfaces.

PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE FROM CORROSION

- Washandwaxyourvehicleoftentokeep thevehicleclean.

•Alwayscheckforminordamagetothe paintandrepairitassoonaspossible.

- Keepdrainholesatthebottomofthe doorsopentoavoidwateraccumulation.

- Checktheunderbodyforaccumulation of sand, dirt or salt. If present, wash with water as soon as possible.

CAUTION

- NEVERremovedirt, sandorotherdebrisfrom the passenger compartment by washing it out with a hose. Removedirt with a vacuum cleaner orbroom.

The enginecoolingsystem is filled at the factory with apre-diluted mixture of 50% GenuineNISSANLongLifeAntifreeze/ Coolant(blue) and 50% watertoprovide year-round antifreeze and coolant protection. The antifreeze solution contains rustand corrosion inhibitors. Additional enginecoolingsystem additives are not necessary.

WARNING

  • Never remove the radiator or coolant reservoir capwhenthe engineishot. Wait until the engine and radiator cooldown.Serious burns could be causedbyhighpressurefluidescaping from the radiator. For additional information, see "If your vehicle overheats"(P. 6-11).
  • The radiator is equipped with a pressure type radiator cap. To prevent enginedamage, use only a Genuine NISSANradiatorcap.

CAUTION

- Never use any cooling system additives such as radiatorsealer. Additives may clog the cooling system and cause damage to the engine, transmission and/or cooling system. - When adding or replacing coolant, be suretouseonlyGenuineNISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent. GenuineNISSAN Long LifeAntifreeze/Coolant (blue) is prediluted to provide antifreeze protection to -34° F(-37°C). If additional freeze protection is needed due to weather where you operate your vehicle, add Genuine NISSAN LongLife Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) concentrate following the directions on the container. If an equivalent coolant other than GenuineNISSANLongLife Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is used, follow the coolant manufacturer's instruction to maintain minimum antifreeze protection to -34° F (-37°C). The use of their types of coolant solutions other than GenuineNISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent may damage the engine cooling system.

Tirepressuresshouldbechecked regularlybecause:

- Mosttiresnaturally loseairover time.

•Tirescanloseair suddenlywhen drivenoverpotholesorother objectsorifthevehiclestrikesacurb whileparking.

The tire pressures should be checkedwhenthetiresarecold. The tiresareconsidered COLD afterthe vehiclehasbeenparkedfor3or more hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6km)atmoderatespeeds.

TheTPMSwithEasy-FillTireAlertprovides visualand audiblesignals outside the vehicle for inflating the tires totherecommendedCOLDtirepressure.Foradditionalinformation,see "TPMSwithEasy-FillTireAlert"(P.5-7). If the tires are used at speeds above 100 mph (162 km/h) where it is legal to do so (on a race track for example), the cold tire inflation pressure must be increased. For additional information, see "Checking tire pressure" (P.8-31).

Setthetire pressuretothe normal coldtireinflationpressurewhenthe vehiclespeedorloadisreduced.

Incorrect tire pressure, including underinflation, may adversely affect tire life and vehicle handling.

WARNING

  • Improperlyinflatedtirescanfail suddenlyandcauseanaccident.
  • TheGrossVehicleWeightRating (GVWR)islocatedonthe F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.certification label.ThevehicleweightcapacityisindicatedontheTireand LoadingInformationlabel(ifso equipped).Donotloadyourvehiclebeyondthiscapacity.Overloadingyourvehiclemayresult inreducedtirelife,unsafeoperatingconditionsduetoprematuretirefailure,orunfavorable handlingcharacteristics and couldalsoleadtoaserious accident.Loading beyond the specified capacitymay also result in failure of other vehicle components.

  • Beforetakingalongtrip,or wheneveryouheavilyloadyour vehicle, use atire pressuregauge toensurethatthetirepressures areatthespecifiedlevel.

  • Increase the cold tire inflation pressureasindicatedin"Checkingtirepressure"inthissection when usingthe tiresspecified by NISSAN above 100 mph (162km/h)whereitislegaltodo so(onaracetrackforexample).

ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS FORSEVEREOPERATING CONDITIONS

Additional maintenance items for severe operating conditions should be performed on vehicles that are driven under especially demanding conditions. Additional maintenance items should be performed if you primarily operate your vehicle under the following conditions:

- Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8km).

- Repeatedshorttripsoflessthan10miles (16 km) withoutside temperaturesremainingbelowfreezing.

- Operatinginhotweatherinstop-and-go "rushhour"traffic.

- Extensiveidlingand/orlowspeeddriving for longdistances,suchaspolice,taxior door-to-doordeliveryuse.

- Drivingindustyconditions.

- Driving on rough, muddy or salt spread roads.

• Usingacar-topcarrier.

If your vehicle is mainly operated under the severe conditions, follow these severe use maintenance intervals shown in them main- tenances schedule.

Gasolinespecifications

NISSAN recommends using gasolinethat meet the world-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) specifications where it is available. Many of the automobile manufacturers developed this specification to improve emission control system and vehicle performance. Ask your service station manager if the gasoline meets the WWFC specifications.

Thisisthemaximumcombinedweightofoccupantsand cargothatcanbeloadedintothe vehicle. If the vehicle is used to tow a trailer, the trail is Tongue weight must be included as part of the cargoload. This information is located on the Tire and Loading Information label.
  • Cargo capacity - permissibleweight of cargo, the subtracted weight of occupants from the load limit.

VEHICLELOADCAPACITY

Beforedrivingloadedvehicle, confirmthatyoudonotexceedthe GrossVehicleWeightRating(GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)foryourvehicle.Boththe

GVWRandGAWRarelocatedonthe F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.certificationlabel. Foradditionalinformation,see"Measurementofweights"(P.10-18).

Donotexceedtheloadlimitofyour vehicleshownas"Thecombined weightofoccupantsandcargo"on the Tire and Loading Information label. Donotexceedthenumber of occupantsshownas"SeatingCapacity"on the Tire and Loading Information label.

Toget "the combined weight of occupants and cargo", add the weight of allooccupants, then add the total cargoweight. Examples are shown in the following illustration.

Load limit 1,400 lbs. (640 kg) Occupants 150 lbs. x 2 = 300 lbs. (70 kg) (135 kg) Luggage 30 lbs. x 2 = 60 lbs. (14 kg) (27 kg) = Remaining available cargo and luggage load capacity = 1,040 lbs. (472 kg)

Load limit 1,400 lbs. (640 kg) - Occupants 150 lbs. x 5 = 750 lbs. (70 kg) (340 kg) + Luggage 30 lbs. x 5 = 150 lbs. (14 kg) (70 kg) = Remaining available cargo and luggage load capacity = 500 lbs. (227 kg)

Steps For Determining Correct Load Limit

  1. Locatethestatement "The combined weight of occupants and cargoshould never exceed XXXkg or XXXlbs." on your vehicle's placard.
  2. Determinethecombinedweight ofthedriverandpassengersthat willberidinginyourvehicle.
  3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXXkgorXXXlbs.
  4. Theresultingfigureequalsthe availableamountofcargo and luggageeloadcapacity. Forex-ample, if the "XXX" amountequals 1400lbs.and therewillbefive150 lb.passengersinyourvehicle,the amountofavailablecargo and luggageeloadcapacityis650lbs. (1400-750(5X150)=650lbs.)

  5. Determinethecombinedweight of luggage and cargobeing 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 betowing a trailer, 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.
