The Platinum level Maxima® is equipped with the Automatic Drive Positioner (ADP) system. This feature is similar to the systems used in other Nissan vehicles but with some differences. It has three new functions:
• Driver Memory Storage via the NISSAN Intelligent Key®
• Meter Display Function
• Entry/Exit Function
The ADP still provides the customer with 2-driver memory set switch controls for the driver’s seat, steering column (if so equipped), and outside mirror positions.
Setting the Memory Positions
• Push the ignition switch to the ON or ACC position. (The vehicle should be stopped while setting the memory.)
• Adjust the driver’s seat, steering column (if so equipped) and outside mirrors to the desired positions using the adjusting switches for each feature.
• Push the SET switch, and within 5 seconds, push the memory switch (1 or 2).
• The indicator light for the memory switch you select will illuminate for approximately 5 seconds, and a chime will sound when the memory is stored.
• The driver’s seat, steering column (if so equipped) and outside mirror positions are now set to the customer’s preferences.
Note: For the 2016 Maxima, the Intelligent Keys do not link to the ADP via the SET switch on the driver’s door. Instead, use “Key Linked Settings” for memorizing driver’s seat position, mirror position, and steering wheel position to an Intelligent Key.
Linking an Intelligent Key using “Key Linked Settings”:
Key Linked Settings can be turned ON or OFF for up to four Intelligent Keys. Each Intelligent Key must be independently turned ON or OFF as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Select “Key Linked Settings” in the vehicle information display Vehicle Settings.
3. Turn “Key Linked Settings” ON or OFF:
ON – Intelligent Key memorization is turned ON
OFF – Intelligent key memorization is turned OFF
With “Key Linked Settings” turned ON, the Intelligent Key will memorize driver’s seat position, mirror position, and steering wheel position as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Set the driver’s seat position, mirror position, and steering wheel position as desired.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
• When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, the current driver’s seat position, mirror position, and steering wheel position are automatically memorized.
• Up to four Intelligent Keys can have separate seat position, mirror position, and steering wheel position automatically memorized as stated above.
Using an Intelligent Key with “Key Linked Settings” Turned ON:
• When returning to the vehicle, press the unlock button on the Intelligent Key. The driver’s seat position, mirror position, and steering wheel position will return to the positions that were memorized when the ignition was turned to the OFF position with that key.
• When the engine is started, the detected Intelligent Key (1, 2, 3 ,or 4) will display on the vehicle information display.
• After turning the ignition switch to the ON position if the seat position, mirror position, or steering wheel position is changed, the new positions will be memorized when the ignition is turned OFF.
• In the event that two linked Intelligent Keys are in the vehicle, the system will recognize the Intelligent Key that was used most recently, such as the one detected by the outside antenna to unlock/lock the door.
• If the system detects an undesired Intelligent Key or there is a desire to change to another Intelligent Key while in the vehicle, the user must initiate communication from the desired Intelligent Key by:
a. Turn the ignition from the ON position to the OFF position.
b. Press the lock or unlock button on the desired Intelligent Key, and restart the vehicle.
c. The detected Intelligent Key number will appear on the vehicle information display.
The ADP system will not work or will stop operating under the following conditions:
• When the vehicle speed is above 4 mph (7 km/h).
• When any of the memory switches are pushed while ADP is operating.
• When the adjusting switch for the driver’s seat or steering column is operated while the ADP is operating.
• When the seat has already been moved to the memorized position setting.
The settings of the ADP system can be checked and diagnosed for component operation with CONSULT.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
The entry/exit function is designed so that the driver’s seat and steering column will automatically move when the shift lever is in the P (PARK) position. This allows the driver to get into and out of the driver’s seat more easily. The driver’s seat will slide backward and the steering wheel will move up:
• When the driver’s door is opened and the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
• When the ignition switch is turned from ACC to OFF position with the driver’s door open.
When exiting, the seat is moved backward from the normal sitting position and the steering column is moved up.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return to the previous position:
• When the ignition switch is turned to the ACC or ON position while the shift lever is in the P (PARK) position.
Managing the Entry/Exit Function
The entry/exit function can be managed in two ways; with the “Vehicle Settings” menu in the vehicle information display or with CONSULT/Work Support.
Through Vehicle Settings
• Switch the Exit Seat Slide ON or OFF.
• Switch the Exit Steering UP ON or OFF.
Through CONSULT/Work Support
ON/OFF Settings:
• Select “EXIT SEAT SLIDE SETTING” or “EXIT TILT SETTING” then select between ON or OFF.
• Seat Slide Volume (slide back distance)
• Select “SEAT SLIDE VOLUME SET” and select either “40 mm,” “80 mm,” or “150 mm,” then select the Change Set button.
Restarting the Entry/Exit Function
If the battery cable is disconnected or if the fuse opens, the stored memory positions may be lost and some of the functions will be restricted.
To restart the entry/exit function:
1. Drive the vehicle over 25 mph (40 km/h), OR
2. Open and close the driver’s door more than 2 times with the ignition switch in the OFF position.
