2010 Nissan Pathfinder Owner’s Manual — Questions and Answers

How can I tell the vehicle security system is armed on my Pathfinder?

After locking all doors with the keyfob or Intelligent Key, watch the indicator light: it stays on for about 30 seconds during pre-arming, then begins flashing once every 3 seconds once the Pathfinder’s system fully arms. Owner’s Manual, p. 102

Where should I connect the negative jumper cable on a Pathfinder?

On a Pathfinder, connect the negative jumper cable to a body ground point such as a strut mounting bolt or engine lift bracket, never directly to the battery terminal itself. Owner’s Manual, p. 365

What should I check before installing a forward-facing child seat in a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder?

Before installing a forward-facing child restraint in a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder, move the front seat to the rearmost position if it must go there, verify the seating position has a top tether anchor if required, and adjust or remove the headrest, storing it safely for later reinstallation. Owner’s Manual, p. 55

What does the engine oil pressure/engine coolant temperature high indicator light mean on a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder?

On a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder, this light turning on along with an extremely high temperature gauge reading signals overheating. You should pull over safely, keep the engine running, turn off the air conditioner, and check for steam or coolant leaks before opening the hood. Owner’s Manual, p. 366

How long does the alarm sound on a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder before it shuts off automatically?

The alarm blinks the headlights and sounds the horn intermittently, then automatically turns off after approximately 50 seconds, though it will reactivate if the 2010 Nissan Pathfinder is tampered with again afterward. Owner’s Manual, p. 103

What’s the difference between canceling cruise control with the CANCEL switch and turning it off with the ON-OFF switch on a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder?

Tapping CANCEL or the brake pedal only clears the SET light and pauses your speed, letting you resume it later. Pushing ON-OFF fully shuts the system down, turning off both the CRUISE and SET lights, so cruise control must be reactivated and a new speed set.

CANCEL switch or brake tap	ON-OFF switch
SET light goes out only	CRUISE and SET lights both go out
Set speed can be resumed	System must be turned on again

Owner’s Manual, p. 336

How do I set the seat lifter and lumbar support on my 2010 Nissan Pathfinder?

The seat lifter switch is on the driver’s seat; push its front or rear end up or down to change the cushion’s angle and height until it feels comfortable. Separately, move the lumbar support lever up or down to add or ease lower back support in that same seat.

1. Find the seat lifter switch on the driver’s seat cushion
2. Push the front end up or down to tilt the cushion angle
3. Push the rear end up or down to change cushion height
4. Locate the lumbar support lever on the seatback
5. Move the lever up or down until your lower back feels supported

Owner’s Manual, p. 23

What do you need on hand to fix a low brake fluid warning light?

Just brake fluid matching the type specified in the maintenance section, since the fix is topping off the reservoir. No special tools are required, but if the level already looks correct, the warning system needs inspection by a dealer instead. Owner’s Manual, p. 94

How long should I wait between starter attempts when jump starting a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder?

On a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder, never crank the starter for more than 10 seconds; if it fails to start, switch off the ignition and wait 3 to 4 seconds before retrying. Owner’s Manual, p. 365

How do I know the tire pressure display is working correctly after refilling to COLD pressure on my 2010 Nissan Pathfinder?

If the display on a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder shows a higher number than the COLD pressure you set after driving more than 1 mile (1.6 km), that’s normal tire warming, not a system malfunction, since tire pressure rises as tire temperature increases. Owner’s Manual, p. 363
