2010 Nissan Sentra Owner’s Manual — Questions and Answers

How many Bluetooth phones can pair with a 2010 Nissan Sentra?

A 2010 Nissan Sentra can store up to 5 different Bluetooth cellular phones connected to the in-vehicle phone module, though only one phone can be used to talk on at any given time. Owner’s Manual, p. 191

What coolant mixture ratio does a 2010 Nissan Sentra require?

A 2010 Nissan Sentra needs Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant or an equivalent mixed 50% anti-freeze with 50% demineralized or distilled water, rated to protect down to -34°C (-29.2°F). Using any other coolant type can damage the cooling system. Owner’s Manual, p. 261

At what speed does the TPMS on a 2010 Nissan Sentra start working?

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System on a 2010 Nissan Sentra only activates once the vehicle is driven above 16 MPH (25 km/h). Below that speed, it won’t detect or warn about low tire pressure in any of the monitored tires. Owner’s Manual, p. 233

How can I tell my parking brake is holding properly on my Sentra?

Park on a fairly steep hill using only the parking brake, without touching the regular brakes. If the Sentra stays firmly in place, the parking brake is working correctly; if it slips, it needs adjustment from a NISSAN dealer. Owner’s Manual, p. 256

How do I use the mist wipe and washer feature on a 2010 Nissan Sentra?

To use the mist wipe and washer on a 2010 Nissan Sentra, follow these steps.

1. Push the wiper lever up for one quick mist sweep of the wiper blades.
2. Pull the lever toward you to spray washer fluid onto the windshield; the wiper will run several times afterward.
3. In freezing weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before using the washer to avoid the fluid freezing and blocking your view.

Why does the hands-free phone system stop working while driving?

Hands-free calling fails when the vehicle leaves the cellular service area, or is somewhere signal is weak like a tunnel, underground garage, near a tall building, or in mountains. It also won’t work if the cellular phone itself is locked and can’t be dialed remotely.

• Vehicle outside cellular service area
• Weak signal spots: tunnels, underground garages, near tall buildings, mountainous areas
• Cellular phone locked to prevent dialing

What parts do I need to fold the rear seat in a 2010 Nissan Sentra?

Folding the rear seat in a 2010 Nissan Sentra doesn’t require special tools, but you use the seat’s built-in hardware. Before folding, secure the outboard seat belts with their clip, and disconnect the center seat belt if folding the passenger side. Then use the top strap to release the seatback and the headrest’s lock mechanism to fold it flat.

• Outboard seat belt clip to stow belts before folding
• Center seat belt disconnect (for passenger side rear seatback)
• Top strap on the outboard side of the seat to release the seatback
• Rear headrest that folds forward and locks in place

Owner’s Manual, p. 21

What are the steps to check and top off the coolant level?

With the engine cold, look at the reservoir and see if the level sits below the MIN mark; if so, add coolant up to the MAX mark. If the reservoir is empty, inspect the radiator itself while still cold, filling it to the filler opening if it’s low, then also topping the reservoir to its MAX mark. If coolant keeps running low often, have a NISSAN dealer inspect the system. Owner’s Manual, p. 261

Low tire pressure warning light stays on after installing the spare tire on my 2010 Nissan Sentra, what’s wrong?

This is normal behavior, not a malfunction. The 2010 Nissan Sentra’s TPMS cannot monitor the spare tire, so once it’s mounted the light flashes for about 1 minute, then stays on since the system can’t function with the spare. Have your dealer replace the damaged tire and reset the system.

• Spare tire is mounted or a wheel was replaced
• TPMS cannot monitor the spare tire
• Light flashes about 1 minute then stays lit
• Needs dealer service to restore normal TPMS function

Owner’s Manual, p. 233

What TPMS parts should I set up new when getting tires replaced on a 2010 Nissan Sentra?

When you put new tires on your 2010 Nissan Sentra, the TPMS transmitter components need fresh seals and hardware since the old ones wear out with the tire itself.

1. Replace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal
2. Replace the valve core
3. Replace the valve cap
