Nissan ALTIMA 2023 Mirrors and Memory Seat 

Many mirror and memory seat technologies are being added to the 2023 Nissan Altima in an effort to improve the driving experience. The Altima offers the best visibility and safety thanks to its power-adjustable side mirrors, which are frequently electronically foldable and may have integrated turn signal indicators. The auto-dimming rearview mirror inside the cabin lessens glare, improving nighttime driving comfort. A memory seat feature, available on some Altima trim levels, enables drivers to save and remember customized seat settings, including seat position, side mirror placements, and more, to accommodate varying comfort preferences. The Altima’s careful additions of memory seats and mirrors highlight its dedication to comfort, security, and a personalized driving experience.

Mirrors

MANUAL ANTI-GLARE REARVIEW MIRROR (if so equipped)
Use the night position 1O to reduce glare from the headlights of vehicles behind you at night. Use the day position 2O when driving in daylight hours.

WARNING
Use the night position only when necessary, because it reduces rear-view clarity.

AUTOMATIC ANTI-GLAREREARVIEW MIRROR (if so equipped)
The inside mirror is designed so that it automatically dims during nighttime conditions and according to the intensity of the headlights of the vehicle following you. The automatic anti-glare feature is activated when the ignition switch is in the ON position.

NOTE:
Do not hang any objects over the sensors 1O or apply glass cleaner to the sensors. Doing so will reduce the sensitivity of the sensors, resulting in improper operation. The indicator light 2O will illuminate when the automatic anti-glare feature is operating. Do not hang any objects over the sensors 1O or apply glass cleaner to the sensors. Doing so will reduce the sensitivity of the sensors, resulting in improper operation. The indicator light 2O will illuminate when the automatic anti-glare feature is operating.

• To turn off the anti-glare feature, press the O button. The indicator light will turn off.
• To turn on the anti-glare feature, press the | button. The indicator light will turn on.

OUTSIDE MIRRORS

The outside mirror remote control only operates when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position. Move the small switch 1O to select the right or left mirror. Adjust each mirror to the desired position using the large switch 2O. Move the small switch 1O to the center (neutral) position to prevent accidentally moving the mirror.

WARNING
Do not adjust the mirrors while driving. You could lose control of your vehicle and cause an accident. Objects viewed in the outside mirror on the passenger side are closer than they appear. Be careful when moving to the right. Using only this mirror could cause an accident. Use the inside mirror or glance over your shoulder to properly judge distances to other objects.

Manual folding outside mirrors
Pull the outside mirror toward the door to fold it.

Heated mirrors (if so equipped)
Some outside mirrors can be heated to defog, defrost, or de-ice for improved visibility. 

MEMORY SEAT (if so equipped)

The memory seat system has three features:

• Memory storage function (Key-link)
• Memory storage function (Switch)
• Entry/exit function

Key-link, when enabled, automatically retains the driver’s last seat and outside mirror (if so equipped) position for that specific key when the ignition is turned from ON to OFF. Each memory switch button (1 or 2) on the driver’s door can also store one additional position which is independent of the key-linked position.

MEMORY STORAGE FUNCTION
Use the following process to set up key-link:

1. Unlock the vehicle with the desired Intelligent Key while the ignition is OFF.
2. Place the ignition in the ON position.
3.  Within the “Settings” menu of the vehicle information display, select “Key-Linked Settings” and press the OK button on the steering switch.
4. While in the menu, press the OK button on the steering switch to turn the system ON/OFF.

Once step 4 is completed, every time the ignition is switched from ON to OFF, the memory positions of the driver’s seat and outside mirror (if so equipped) are linked to the Intelligent Key. Follow the same procedure if you want to link the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Intelligent Key.

NOTE:
If new memory positions are set prior to turning the ignition from ON to OFF, the previously linked memory positions for the respective key will be overwritten by new positions.

Recalling Intelligent Key memory positions
If the “Key-Linked Settings” are enabled in the vehicle information display for that particular key, every time you enter the vehicle the driver’s seat and outside mirrors (if so equipped) will automatically move to the driver’s last position of the respective Intelligent Key.

NOTE:
The key-linked memory positions can be different from the positions stored in the memory switch (1 or 2).

MEMORY STORAGE FUNCTION (switch)
Use the following process to manually store the two memory positions in the switch:

1. The vehicle should be stopped while setting the memory.
2. Adjust the driver’s seat and outside mirror (if so equipped) to the desired positions by manually operating each adjusting switch. 
3. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds, push the memory switch (1 or 2).

The indicator light for the pushed memory switch will come on and stay on for approximately 5 seconds. The chime will sound when the memory is stored.

NOTE:
If a new memory position is stored in the same memory switch, the previous memory position will be overwritten by the new stored position.

Recalling switch memory positions
To recall the manually stored positions, press the memory switch (1 or 2). The driver’s seat and outside mirror (if so equipped) will move to the positions stored to those buttons

ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION

This system is designed so that the driver’s seat will automatically move when the shift lever is in the P (Park) position. This allows the driver to easily get in and out of the driver’s seat.

The driver’s seat will slide backward:

• 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 with the driver’s door open.

The driver’s seat will return to the previous position:
When the ignition switch is turned to ACC or ON while the shift lever is in the P (Park) position.

The entry/exit function can be adjusted or canceled through the “Vehicle Settings” in the vehicle information display by performing the following:
Switch the Exit Seat Slide from ON to OFF.

SYSTEM OPERATION
The memory seat 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 the memory seat system is operating.
• When the switch for the driver’s seat and steering column is pushed while the memory seat system is operating.
• When the seat has already been moved to the memorized position.
• When no seat position is stored in the memory switch.
• When the shift lever is moved from P (Park) to any other position.

The memory seat system can be adjusted and canceled. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
