WARNING

● Do not ride in a moving vehicle when

the seatback is reclined. This can be

dangerous. The shoulder belt will not

be against your body. In an accident,

you could be thrown into it and receive

neck or other serious injuries. You

could also slide under the lap belt and

receive serious internal injuries.

● For the most effective protection when

the vehicle is in motion, the seat should

be upright. Always sit well back in the

seat with both feet on the floor and

adjust the seat properly. For additional

information, refer to “Precautions on

seat belt usage” in this section.

● After adjustment, gently rock in the seat

to make sure it is securely locked.

● Do not leave children unattended inside

the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-

tivate switches or controls. Unattended

children could become involved in seri-

ous accidents.

● Do not adjust the driver’s seat while

driving so full attention may be given to

vehicle operation. The seat may move

suddenly and could cause loss of con-

trol of the vehicle.

● The seatback should not be reclined

any more than needed for comfort. Seat

belts are most effective when the pas-

senger sits well back and straight up in

the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the

risk of sliding under the lap belt and

being injured is increased.

CAUTION

When adjusting the seat positions, be

sure not to contact any moving parts to

avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

FRONT MANUAL SEAT

ADJUSTMENT (if so equipped)

Operating tips

WARNING

Before driving the vehicle, return the seat-

back to an upright seating position after

manually releasing it. Also, make sure the

seat is locked in place. Failure to do so

may cause the seat to move in a collision

or sudden stop. This may result in damage

to the seat or personal injury.

● The power seat motor has an auto-reset

overload protection circuit. If the motor

stops during operation, wait 30 seconds

then reactivate the switch.

● Do not operate the power seat switch for a

long period of time when the engine is off.

This will discharge the battery.

Forward and backward

Moving the switch forward or backward will slide

the seat forward or backward to the desired

position.

Reclining

Move the recline switch backward until the de-

sired angle is obtained. To bring the seatback

forward again, move the switch forward and

move your body forward. The seatback will move

forward.

The reclining feature allows adjustment of the

seatback for occupants of different sizes for

added comfort and to help obtain proper seat

belt fit. For additional information, refer to “Pre-

WARNING

● Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo

area or on the rear seat when it is in the

fold-down position. Use of these areas

by passengers without proper restraints

could result in serious injury in an acci-

dent or sudden stop.

● Properly secure all cargo with ropes or

straps to help prevent it from sliding or

shifting. Do not place cargo higher than

the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or col-

lision, unsecured cargo could cause

personal injury.

● When returning the seatbacks to the

upright position, be certain they are

completely secured in the latched posi-

tion. If they are not completely secured,

passengers may be injured in an acci-

dent or sudden stop.

● Closely supervise children when they

are around cars to prevent them from

playing and becoming locked in the

trunk where they could be seriously in-

jured. Keep the car locked, with the rear

seatback and trunk lid securely latched

when not in use, and prevent children’s

access to car keys.

To fold down the driver’s side of the rear seat,

open the trunk and pull on the strap

䊊

The rear seats can be locked (if so equipped)

using the mechanical key to prevent unauthorized

access. For additional information on keys, refer

to “Keys” in the “Pre-driving checks and adjust-

ments” section of this manual.

LRS2168

1-6 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Center armrest

Pull the armrest down until it rests on the seat

cushion.

WARNING

Head restraints/headrests supplement

the other vehicle safety systems. They may

provide additional protection against in-

jury in certain rear end collisions. Adjust-

able head restraints/headrests must be

adjusted properly, as specified in this sec-

tion. Check the adjustment after someone

else uses the seat. Do not attach anything

to the head restraint/headrest stalks or

remove the head restraint/headrest. Do

not use the seat if the head

restraint/headrest has been removed. If

the head restraint/headrest was removed,

reinstall and properly adjust the head

restraint/headrest before an occupant

uses the seating position. Failure to fol-

low these instructions can reduce the ef-

fectiveness of the head

restraints/headrests. This may increase

the risk of serious injury or death in a

collision.

The illustration shows the seating positions

equipped with head restraints/headrests.

䉱 Indicates the seating position is equipped with

a head restraint.

䡲 Indicates the seating position is equipped with

a headrest.

+ Indicates the seating position is not equipped

with a head restraint or headrest (if applicable).

● Your vehicle is equipped with a head

restraint/headrest that may be integrated,

adjustable or non-adjustable.

WRS0167 LRS2468

HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-7

● Adjustable head restraints/headrests have

multiple notches along the stalk(s) to lock

them in a desired adjustment position.

● The non-adjustable head

restraints/headrests have a single locking

notch to secure them to the seat frame.

● Proper Adjustment:

– For the adjustable type, align the head

restraint/headrest so the center of your

ear is approximately level with the center

of the head restraint/headrest.

– If your ear position is still higher than the

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT

USAGE

If you are wearing your seat belt properly ad-

justed and you are sitting upright and well back in

your seat with both feet on the floor, your chances

of being injured or killed in a collision and/or the

severity of injury may be greatly reduced.

NISSAN strongly encourages you and all of your

passengers to buckle up every time you drive,

even if your seating position includes a supple-

mental air bag.

Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces or

territories specify that seat belts be worn at

all times when a vehicle is being driven.

LRS2306 SSS0136

SEAT BELTS

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-11

WARNING

● Every person who drives or rides in this

vehicle should use a seat belt at all

times. Children should be properly re-

strained in the rear seat and, if appro-

priate, in a child restraint.

WARNING

● The seat belt should be properly ad-

justed to a snug fit. Failure to do so may

reduce the effectiveness of the entire

restraint system and increase the

chance or severity of injury in an acci-

dent. Serious injury or death can occur if

the seat belt is not worn properly.

SSS0016 SSS0134

1-12 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING

● Always route the shoulder belt over

your shoulder and across your chest.

Never put the belt behind your back,

under your arm or across your neck. The

belt should be away from your face and

neck, but not falling off your shoulder.

● Position the lap belt as low and snug as

possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE

WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could

increase the risk of internal injuries in

an accident.

● Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely

fastened to the proper buckle.

● Do not wear the seat belt inside out or

twisted. Doing so may reduce its

effectiveness.

● Do not allow more than one person to

use the same seat belt.

● Never carry more people in the vehicle

than there are seat belts.

● If the seat belt warning light glows con-

tinuously while the ignition is turned

ON with all doors closed and all seat

belts fastened, it may indicate a mal-

function in the system. Have the system

checked by a NISSAN dealer.

● No changes should be made to the seat

belt system. For example, do not modify

the seat belt, add material, or install

devices that may change the seat belt

routing or tension. Doing so may affect

the operation of the seat belt system.

Modifying or tampering with the seat

belt system may result in serious per-

sonal injury.

● Once a seat belt pretensioner has acti-

vated, it cannot be reused and must be

replaced together with the retractor.

See your NISSAN dealer.

● Removal and installation of preten-

sioner system components should be

done by a NISSAN dealer.

● All seat belt assemblies, including re-

tractors and attaching hardware, should

be inspected after any collision by a

NISSAN dealer. NISSAN recommends

that all seat belt assemblies in use dur-

ing a collision be replaced unless the

collision was minor and the belts show

no damage and continue to operate

properly. Seat belt assemblies not in

use during a collision should also be

inspected and replaced if either dam-

age or improper operation is noted.

● All child restraints and attaching hard-

ware should be inspected after any col-

lision. Always follow the restraint

manufacturer’s inspection instructions

and replacement recommendations.

The child restraints should be replaced

if they are damaged.

SSS0014

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-13

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT

Both the driver’s and passenger’s front seats are

equipped with a seat belt warning light. The

warning light, located on the instrument panel,

will show the status of the driver and passenger

seat belt.

NOTE:

The front passenger seat belt warning light

will not light up if the seat is not occupied.

For additional information, refer to

“Warning/indicator lights and audible reminders”

in the “Instruments and controls” section of this

manual.

PREGNANT WOMEN

NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use

seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug and

always position the lap belt as low as possible

around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder

belt over your shoulder and across your chest.

Never run the lap/shoulder belt over your ab-

dominal area. Contact your doctor for specific

recommendations.

INJURED PERSONS

NISSAN recommends that injured persons use

seat belts. Check with your doctor for specific

recommendations.

THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT

WITH RETRACTOR

WARNING

● Every person who drives or rides in this

vehicle should use a seat belt at all

times.

● Do not ride in a moving vehicle when

the seatback is reclined. This can be

dangerous. The shoulder belt will not

be against your body. In an accident,

you could be thrown into it and receive

neck or other serious injuries. You

could also slide under the lap belt and

receive serious internal injuries.

● For the most effective protection when

the vehicle is in motion, the seat should

be upright. Always sit well back in the

seat with both feet on the floor and

adjust the seat belt properly.

● Do not allow children to play with the

seat belts. Most seating positions are

equipped with Automatic Locking Re-

tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat

belt becomes wrapped around a child’s

neck with the ALR mode activated, the

child can be seriously injured or killed if

the seat belt retracts and becomes

tight. This can occur even if the vehicle

is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to

release the child. If the seat belt cannot

be unbuckled or is already unbuckled,

release the child by cutting the seat belt

with a suitable tool (such as a knife or

scissors) to release the seat belt.

LRS0786

1-14 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Fastening the seat belts

1. Adjust the seat. For additional information,

refer to “Seats” in this section.

2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor

and insert the tongue into the buckle

䊊

until

you hear and feel the latch engage.

● The retractor is designed to lock dur-

ing a sudden stop or on impact. A

slow pulling motion permits the seat

belt to move, and allows you some

freedom of movement in the seat.

● If the seat belt cannot be pulled from

its fully retracted position, firmly pull

the belt and release it. Then

smoothly pull the belt out of the re-

tractor.

as shown.

4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the

retractor to take up extra slack

䊊

. Be sure

the shoulder belt is routed over your shoul-

der and across your chest.

The front passenger seat and the rear seating

positions’ three-point seat belts have two modes

of operation:

● Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

● Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

The ELR mode allows the seat belt to extend and

retract to allow the driver and passengers some

freedom of movement in the seat. The ELR locks

the seat belt when the vehicle slows down rapidly

or during certain impacts.

The ALR mode (child restraint mode) locks the

seat belt for child restraint installation.

When the ALR mode is activated, the seat belt

cannot be extended again until the seat belt

tongue is detached from the buckle and fully

retracted. The seat belt returns to the ELR mode

after the seat belt fully retracts. For additional

information, refer to “Child restraints” in this sec-

tion..

The ALR mode should be used only for

child restraint installation. During normal

seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR mode

should not be activated. If it is activated, it

may cause uncomfortable seat belt ten-

sion.

WARNING

When fastening the seat belts, be certain

that the seatbacks are completely secured

in the latched position. If they are not

completely secured, passengers may be

injured in an accident or sudden stop.

Unfastening the seat belts

To unfasten the seat belt, press the button on the

buckle

䊊

. The seat belt automatically retracts.

Checking seat belt operation

Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat belt

movement by two separate methods:

● When the seat belt is pulled quickly from the

retractor

● When the vehicle slows down rapidly

LRS0595 WRS0139

1-16 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

To increase your confidence in the seat belts,

check the operation as follows:

● Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward

quickly. The retractor should lock and re-

strict further belt movement.

If the retractor does not lock during this check or

if you have any questions about seat belt opera-

tion, see a NISSAN dealer.

Shoulder belt height adjustment (front

seats)

The shoulder belt anchor height should be ad-

justed to the position best for you. For additional

information, refer to “Precautions on seat belt

usage” in this section. To adjust, pull out the

adjustment button

䊊

and move the shoulder belt

anchor to the desired position

䊊

, so the belt

passes over the center of the shoulder. The belt

should be away from your face and neck, but not

falling off your shoulder. Release the adjustment

button to lock the shoulder belt anchor into posi-

tion.

WARNING

● After adjustment, release the adjust-

ment button and try to move the shoul-

der belt anchor up and down to make

sure it is securely fixed in position.

● The shoulder belt anchor height should

be adjusted to the position best for you.

Failure to do so may reduce the effec-

tiveness of the entire restraint system

and increase the chance or severity of

injury in an accident.

SEAT BELT EXTENDERS

If, because of body size or driving position, it is

not possible to properly fit the lap/shoulder belt

and fasten it, an extender that is compatible with

the installed seat belts is available for purchase.

The extender adds approximately 8 in (200 mm)

of length and may be used for either the driver or

front passenger seating position. See a NISSAN

dealer for assistance with purchasing an ex-

tender if an extender is required.

LRS0242

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-17

WARNING

● Only NISSAN seat belt extenders, made

by the same company which made the

original equipment seat belts, should

be used with NISSAN seat belts.

● Adults and children who can use the

standard seat belt should not use an

extender. Such unnecessary use could

result in serious personal injury in the

event of an accident.

● Never use seat belt extenders to install

child restraints. If the child restraint is

not secured properly, the child could be

seriously injured in a collision or a sud-

den stop.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

● To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a

mild soap solution or any solution recom-

mended for cleaning upholstery or carpet.

Then wipe with a cloth and allow the seat

belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the

seat belts to retract until they are completely

dry.

● If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt

guide of the seat belt anchors, the seat

belts may retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder

belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.

● Periodically check to see that the seat

belt and the metal components, such as

buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires

and anchors, work properly. If loose parts,

deterioration, cuts or other damage on the

webbing is found, the entire seat belt as-

sembly should be replaced.

WARNING

Do not allow children to play with the seat

belts. Most seating positions are

equipped with Automatic Locking Retrac-

tor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat belt

becomes wrapped around a child’s neck

with the ALR mode activated, the child can

be seriously injured or killed if the seat

belt retracts and becomes tight. This can

occur even if the vehicle is parked. Un-

buckle the seat belt to release the child. If

the seat belt cannot be unbuckled or is

already unbuckled, release the child by

cutting the seat belt with a suitable tool

(such as a knife or scissors) to release the

seat belt.

Children need adults to help protect them.

They need to be properly restrained.

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, so be sure

to learn the best way to transport your child.

CHILD SAFETY

1-18 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

There are three basic types of child restraint

systems:

● Rear-facing child restraints

● Forward-facing child restraints

● Booster seats

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 outgrow rear-

facing child restraints and are at least 1 year old.

Booster seats are used to help position a vehicle

lap/shoulder belt on a child who can no longer

use a forward-facing child restraint.

WARNING

Infants and children need special protec-

tion. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit

them properly. The shoulder belt may

come too close to the face or neck. The lap

belt may not fit over their small hip bones.

In an accident, an improperly fitting seat

belt could cause serious or fatal injury.

Always use appropriate child restraints.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territo-

ries require the use of approved child restraints

for infants and small children. For additional infor-

mation, refer to “Child restraints” in this section.

A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle by

using either the LATCH (Lower Anchors and

Tethers for CHildren) system or with the vehicle

seat belt. For additional information, refer to

“Child restraints” in this section.

NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens

and children be restrained in the rear seat.

Studies show that children are safer when

properly restrained in the rear seat than in

the front seat.

This is especially important because your

vehicle has a supplemental restraint sys-

tem (air bag system) for the front passen-

ger. For additional information, refer to

“Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)” in

this section.

INFANTS

Infants up to at least 1 year old should be placed

in a rear-facing child restraint. NISSAN recom-

mends that infants be placed in child restraints

that comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards. You should choose a child restraint

that fits your vehicle and always follow the manu-

facturer’s instructions for installation and use.

SMALL CHILDREN

Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at

least 20 lbs (9 kg) should remain in a rear-facing

child restraint as long as possible up to the height

or weight limit of the child restraint. Children who

outgrow the height or weight limit of the rear-

facing child restraint and are at least 1 year old

should be secured in a forward-facing child re-

straint with a harness. Refer to the manufactur-

er’s instructions for minimum and maximum

weight and height recommendations. NISSAN

recommends that small children be placed in

child restraints that comply with Federal Motor

Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Ve-

hicle Safety Standards. You should choose a

child restraint that fits your vehicle and always

follow the manufacturer’s instructions for instal-

lation and use.

LARGER CHILDREN

Children should remain in a forward-facing child

restraint with a harness until they reach the maxi-

mum height or weight limit allowed by the child

restraint manufacturer.

Once a child outgrows the height or weight limit

of the harness-equipped forward-facing child re-

straint, NISSAN recommends that the child be

placed in a commercially available booster seat to

obtain proper seat belt fit. For a seat belt to fit

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-19

properly, the booster seat should raise the child

so that the shoulder belt is properly positioned

across the chest and the top, middle portion of

the shoulder. The shoulder belt should not cross

the neck or face and should not fall off the shoul-

der. The lap belt should lie snugly across the

lower hips or upper thighs, not the abdomen. A

booster seat can only be used in seating posi-

tions that have a three-point type seat belt. The

booster seat should fit the vehicle seat and have

a label certifying that it complies with Federal

Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Mo-

tor Vehicle Safety Standards. Once the child has

grown so the shoulder belt is no longer on or near

the face and neck and the lap belt can be posi-

tioned properly across the lower hips or upper

thighs, use the seat belt without the booster seat.

WARNING

Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat

and do not allow a child in the cargo area.

The child could be seriously injured or

killed in a sudden stop or collision.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD

RESTRAINTS

WARNING

● Failure to follow the warnings and in-

structions for proper use and installa-

tion of child restraints could result in

serious injury or death of a child or

other passengers in a sudden stop or

collision:

– The child restraint must be used and

installed properly. Always follow all

of the child restraint manufacturer’s

instructions for installation and use.

– Infants and children should never be

held on anyone’s lap. Even the stron-

gest adult cannot resist the forces of

a collision.

– Do not put a seat belt around both a

child and another passenger.

ARS1098 WRS0256

CHILD RESTRAINTS

1-20 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

– NISSAN recommends that all child

restraints be installed in the rear

seat. Studies show that children are

safer when properly restrained in the

rear seat than in the front seat. If you

must install a forward-facing child

restraint in the front seat, refer to

“Forward-facing child restraint in-

stallation using the seat belts” in this

section.

– Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air

Bag System, never install a rear-

facing child restraint in the front seat.

An inflating air bag could seriously

injure or kill a child. A rear-facing

child restraint must only be used in

the rear seat.

– Be sure to purchase a child restraint

that will fit the child and vehicle.

Some child restraints may not fit

properly in your vehicle.

– Child restraint anchorages are de-

signed to withstand only those loads

imposed by correctly fitted child re-

straints. Under no circumstances are

they to be used to attach adult seat

belts, or other items or equipment to

the vehicle. Doing so could damage

the child restraint anchorages. The

child restraint will not be properly

installed using the damaged anchor-

age, and a child could be seriously

injured or killed in a collision.

– Never use the anchor points for adult

seat belts or harnesses.

– A child restraint with a top tether

strap should not be used in the front

passenger seat.

– Keep seatbacks as upright as pos-

sible after fitting the child restraint.

– Infants and children should always

be placed in an appropriate child re-

straint while in the vehicle.

● When the child restraint is not in use,

keep it secured with the LATCH system

or a seat belt. In a sudden stop or colli-

sion, loose objects can injure occupants

or damage the vehicle.

CAUTION

A child restraint in a closed vehicle can

become very hot. Check the seating sur-

face and buckles before placing a child in

the child restraint.

This vehicle is equipped with a universal child

restraint anchor system, referred to as the LATCH

(Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) sys-

tem. Some child restraints include rigid or

webbing-mounted attachments that can be con-

nected to these anchors. For additional informa-

tion, refer to “LATCH (Lower Anchors and Teth-

ers for CHildren) system” in this section.

If you do not have a LATCH compatible child

restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used.

Several manufacturers offer child restraints for

infants and children of various sizes. When se-

lecting any child restraint, keep the following

points in mind:

● Choose only a restraint with a label certifying

that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle

Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor

Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

● Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be

sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat

and seat belt system.

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-21

● If the child restraint is compatible with your

vehicle, place your child in the child restraint

and check the various adjustments to be

sure the child restraint is compatible with

your child. Choose a child restraint that is

designed for your child’s height and weight.

Always follow all recommended procedures.

● If the combined weight of the child and child

restraint is less than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), you

may use either the LATCH anchors or the

seat belt to install the child restraint (not both

at the same time).

● If the combined weight of the child and child

restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), use

the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower an-

chors) to install the child restraint.

● Be sure to follow the child restraint manufac-

turer’s instructions for installation.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or

territories require that infants and small

children be restrained in an approved child

restraint at all times while the vehicle is

being operated. Canadian law requires the

top tether strap on forward-facing child re-

straints be secured to the designated an-

chor point on the vehicle.

LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers

for CHildren) SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor

points that are used with LATCH system compat-

ible child restraints. This system may also be

referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible

system. With this system, you do not have to use

a vehicle seat belt to secure the child restraint

unless the combined weight of the child and child

restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the com-

bined weight of the child and child restraint is

greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), use the vehicle’s

seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install the

child restraint. Be sure to follow the child restraint

manufacturer’s instructions for installation.

The LATCH anchor points are provided to install

child restraints in the rear outboard seating posi-

tions only. Do not attempt to install a child re-

straint in the center position using the LATCH

anchors.

LATCH lower anchor

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-

tions for proper use and installation of

child restraints could result in serious in-

jury or death of a child or other passen-

gers in a sudden stop or collision:

– Attach LATCH system compatible

child restraints only at the locations

shown in the illustration.

– Do not secure a child restraint in the

center rear seating position using the

LATCH lower anchors. The child re-

straint will not be secured properly.

The LATCH anchors are located at the rear of the

seat cushion near the seatback. A label is at-

tached to the seatback to help you locate the

LATCH anchors.

Installing child restraint LATCH lower

anchor attachments

LATCH compatible child restraints include two

rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can

be connected to two anchors located at certain

seating positions in your vehicle. With this sys-

tem, you do not have to use a vehicle seat belt to

secure the child restraint. Check your child re-

straint for a label stating that it is compatible with

LATCH. This information may also be in the in-

structions provided by the child restraint manu-

facturer.

REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT

INSTALLATION USING LATCH

For additional information, refer to all Warnings

and Cautions in the “Child safety” and “Child

restraints” sections of this manual before install-

ing a child restraint.

Do not use the lower anchors if the combined

weight of the child and the child restraint exceeds

65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the combined weight of the

child and the child restraint is greater than 65 lbs,

(29.5 kg) use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the

lower anchors) to install the child restraint. Be

sure to follow the child restraint manufacturer’s

instructions for installation.

Follow these steps to install a rear-facing child

restraint using the LATCH system:

1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Al-

ways follow the child restraint manufactur-

er’s instructions.

2. Secure the child restraint anchor attach-

ments to the LATCH lower anchors. Check

to make sure the LATCH attachment is prop-

erly attached to the lower anchors.

3. For child restraints that are equipped with

webbing-mounted attachments, remove any

additional slack from the anchor attach-

ments. Press downward and rearward firmly

in the center of the child restraint with your

hand to compress the vehicle seat cushion

and seatback while tightening the webbing

of the anchor attachments.

4. After attaching the child restraint, test it be-

fore you place the child in it. Push it from side

to side while holding the child restraint near

the LATCH attachment path. The child re-

straint should not move more than 1 inch

(25 mm), from side to side. Try to tug it

forward and check to see if the LATCH at-

tachment holds the restraint in place. If the

restraint is not secure, tighten the LATCH

attachment as necessary, or put the restraint

in another seat and test it again. You may

need to try a different child restraint or try

installing by using the vehicle seat belt (if

applicable). Not all child restraints fit in all

types of vehicles.

5. Check to make sure the child restraint is

properly secured prior to each use. If the

child restraint is loose, repeat steps 2

use the ALR mode will result in the child

restraint not being properly secured. The

restraint could tip over or be loose and

cause injury to a child in a sudden stop or

collision. Also, it can change the operation

of the front passenger air bag. For addi-

tional information, refer to “Supplemental

air bag warning light” in this section.

For additional information, refer to all Warnings

and Cautions in the “Child safety” and “Child

restraints” sections of this manual before install-

ing a child restraint.

Do not use the lower anchors if the combined

weight of the child and the child restraint exceeds

65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the combined weight of the

child and the child restraint is greater than 65 lbs,

(29.5 kg) use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the

lower anchors) to install the child restraint. Be

sure to follow the child restraint manufacturer’s

instructions for installation.

restraint using the vehicle seat belts in the rear

seats:

1. Child restraints for infants must be

used in the rear-facing direction and

therefore must not be used in the front

seat. Position the child restraint on the seat.

Always follow the restraint manufacturer’s

instructions.

2. Route the seat belt tongue through the child

restraint and insert it into the buckle until you

hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to

follow the child restraint manufacturer’s in-

structions for belt routing.

3. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully

extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor

is in the ALR mode (child restraint mode). It

reverts to the ELR mode when the seat belt

is fully retracted.

Precautions on booster seats

WARNING

If a booster seat and seat belt are not used

properly, the risk of a child being injured in

a sudden stop or collision greatly

increases:

– Make sure the shoulder portion of

the belt is away from the child’s face

and neck and the lap portion of the

belt does not cross the stomach.

– Make sure the shoulder belt is not

behind the child or under the child’s

arm.

– A booster seat must only be installed

in a seating position that has a

lap/shoulder belt.

A. Low back booster seat

B. High back booster seat

Booster seats of various sizes are offered by

several manufacturers. When selecting any

booster seat, keep the following points in mind:

● Choose only a booster seat with a label

certifying that it complies with Federal Motor

Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

● Check the booster seat in your vehicle to be

sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat

and seat belt system.

LRS2479 LRS0453

1-38 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

● Make sure the child’s head will be properly

supported by the booster seat or vehicle

seat. The seatback must be at or above the

center of the child’s ears. For example, if a

low back booster seat is chosen, the vehicle

seatback must be at or above the center of

the child’s ears. If the seatback is lower than

the center of the child’s ears, a high back

booster seat should be used.

● If the booster seat is compatible with your

vehicle, place the child in the booster seat

and check the various adjustments to be

sure the booster seat is compatible with the

child. Always follow all recommended pro-

cedures.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or

territories require that infants and small

children be restrained in an approved child

restraint at all times while the vehicle is

being operated.

The instructions in this section apply to booster

seat installation in the rear seats or the front

passenger seat.

PRECAUTIONS ON SRS

This SRS section contains important information

concerning the following systems:

● Driver and passenger supplemental front-

System)

● Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-

mental air bag

● Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-

over supplemental air bag

● Seat belt with pretensioner

Supplemental front-impact air bag system

The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System can help

cushion the impact force to the head and chest of

the driver and front passenger in certain frontal

collisions.

Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-

mental air bag system

This system can help cushion the impact force to

the chest area of the driver and front passenger in

certain side-impact collisions. The side air bags

are designed to inflate on the side where the

vehicle is impacted.

Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and

rollover supplemental air bag system

This system can help cushion the impact force to

the head of occupants in front and rear outboard

seating positions in certain side-impact colli-

sions. The curtain air bags are designed to inflate

on the side where the vehicle is impacted. In a

rollover, the curtain air bags are designed to

inflate and remain inflated for a short time.

The SRS is designed to supplement the crash

protection provided by the driver and front pas-

senger seat belts and is not a substitute for

them. Seat belts should always be correctly worn

and the occupant seated a suitable distance

away from the steering wheel, instrument panel

and door finishers. For additional information,

refer to “Seat belts” in this section for instructions

and precautions on seat belt usage.

The supplemental air bags operate only

when the ignition switch is placed in the ON

position.

After placing the ignition switch in the ON

position, the supplemental air bag warning

light illuminates. The supplemental air bag

warning light will turn off after about 7 sec-

onds if the system is operational.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT

SYSTEM (SRS)

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-41

WARNING

● The front air bags ordinarily will not

inflate in the event of a side impact, rear

impact, rollover, or lower severity fron-

tal collision. Always wear your seat

belts to help reduce the risk or severity

of injury in various kinds of accidents.

● The front passenger air bag will not

inflate if the passenger air bag status

light is lit or if the front passenger seat

is unoccupied. For additional informa-

tion, refer to “Front passenger air bag

and status light” in this section.

● The seat belts and the front air bags are

most effective when you are sitting well

back and upright in the seat. The front

air bags inflate with great force. Even

with the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag Sys-

tem, if you are unrestrained, leaning

forward, sitting sideways or out of posi-

tion in any way, you are at greater risk of

injury or death in a crash. You may also

receive serious or fatal injuries from the

front air bag if you are up against it

when it inflates. Always sit back against

the seatback and as far away as practi-

cal from the steering wheel or instru-

ment panel. Always use the seat belts.

● The driver and front passenger seat belt

buckles are equipped with sensors that

detect if the seat belts are fastened. The

Advanced Air Bag System monitors the

severity of a collision and seat belt us-

age then inflates the air bags as

needed. Failure to properly wear seat

belts can increase the risk or severity of

injury in an accident.

● The front passenger seat is equipped

with an Occupant Classification Sensor

(weight sensor) that turns the front pas-

senger air bag OFF under some condi-

tions. This sensor is only used in this

seat. Failure to be properly seated and

wearing the seat belt can increase the

risk or severity of injury in an accident.

For additional information, refer to

“Front passenger air bag and status

light” in this section.

● Keep hands on the outside of the steer-

ing wheel. Placing them inside the

steering wheel rim could increase the

risk that they are injured when the front

air bag inflates.

meet certification requirements under U.S. regu-

lations. It is also permitted in Canada. However,

all of the information, cautions and warn-

ings in this manual still apply and must be

followed.

The driver supplemental front-impact air bag is

located in the center of the steering wheel. The

passenger supplemental front-impact air bag is

mounted in the dashboard above the glove box.

The front air bags are designed to inflate in higher

severity frontal collisions, although they may in-

flate if the forces in another type of collision are

similar to those of a higher severity frontal impact.

They may not inflate in certain frontal collisions.

Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an

indication of proper front air bag system opera-

tion.

The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System has dual

stage inflators. It also monitors information from

the crash zone sensor, the Air bag Control Unit

(ACU), seat belt buckle sensors and Occupant

Classification Sensor (weight sensor). Inflator

operation is based on the severity of a collision

and seat belt usage for the driver. For the front

passenger, the Occupant Classification Sensor

is also monitored. Based on information from the

sensor, only one front air bag may inflate in a

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-49

crash, depending on the crash severity and

whether the front occupants are belted or un-

belted. Additionally, the front passenger air bag

may be automatically turned off under some con-

ditions, depending on the weight detected on the

passenger seat and how the seat belt is used. If

the front passenger air bag is OFF, the passenger

air bag status light will be illuminated (if the seat is

unoccupied, the light will not be illuminated, but

the air bag will be off). For additional information,

refer to “Front passenger air bag and status light”

in this section. One front air bag inflating does not

indicate improper performance of the system.

If you have any questions about your air bag

system, please contact NISSAN or your NISSAN

dealer. If you are considering modification of your

vehicle due to a disability, you may also contact

NISSAN. Contact information is contained in the

front of this Owner’s Manual.

When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loud noise

may be heard, followed by the release of smoke.

This smoke is not harmful and does not indicate a

fire. Care should be taken to not inhale it, as it may

cause irritation and choking. Those with a history

of a breathing condition should get fresh air

promptly.

Front air bags, along with the use of seat belts,

help to cushion the impact force on the face and

chest of the front occupants. They can help save

lives and reduce serious injuries. However, an

inflating front air bag may cause facial abrasions

or other injuries. Front air bags do not provide

restraint to the lower body.

Even with NISSAN Advanced Air Bags, seat

belts should be correctly worn and the driver and

passenger seated upright as far as practical

away from the steering wheel or instrument

panel. The front air bags inflate quickly in order to

help protect the front occupants. Because of this,

the force of the front air bag inflating can increase

the risk of injury if the occupant is too close to, or

is against, the front air bag module during infla-

tion.

The front air bags deflate quickly after a collision.

The front air bags operate only when the

ignition switch is placed in the ON position.

After placing the ignition switch in the ON

position, the supplemental air bag warning

light illuminates. The supplemental air bag

warning light will turn off after about 7 sec-

onds if the system is operational.

Front passenger air bag and status light

WARNING

The front passenger air bag is designed to

automatically turn OFF under some condi-

tions. Read this section carefully to learn

how it operates. Proper use of the seat,

seat belt and child restraints is necessary

for most effective protection. Failure to

follow all instructions in this manual con-

cerning the use of seats, seat belts and

child restraints can increase the risk or

severity of injury in an accident.

WRS0475

1-50 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Status light

The front passenger seat is equipped with an

Occupant Classification Sensor (weight sensor)

that turns the front passenger air bag on or off

depending on the weight applied to the front

passenger seat. The status of the front passen-

ger air bag (ON or OFF) is indicated by a front

passenger air bag status light

which is

located on the instrument panel.

After the ignition switch is placed in the ⬙ON⬙

position, the front passenger air bag status light

on the instrument panel illuminates for about

7 seconds and then turns off or remains illumi-

nated depending on the front passenger seat

occupied status. The light operates as follows:

● Unoccupied front passenger’s seat:

The

light is OFF and the front passen-

ger air bag is OFF and will not inflate in a

crash.

● Front passenger’s seat occupied by a small

adult, child or child restraint as outlined in

the Safety section of the owner’s manual:

The

light illuminates to indicate that

the front passenger air bag is OFF and will

not inflate in a crash.

● Occupied front passenger seat and the pas-

senger meets the conditions as outlined in

the Safety section of the owner’s manual:

The

light is OFF to indicate that the

front passenger air bag is operational.

In addition to the above, certain objects placed

on the front passenger seat may also cause the

light to operate as described above depending

on their weight.

For additional information related to the normal

operation and troubleshooting of this Occupant

Classification Sensor system, please refer to

“Normal operation” and “Troubleshooting” in this

section.

Front passenger air bag

The front passenger air bag is designed to auto-

matically turn OFF when the vehicle is operated

under some conditions as described below in

accordance with U.S. regulations. If the front

passenger air bag is OFF it will not inflate in a

crash. The driver air bag and other air bags in your

vehicle are not part of this system.

The purpose of the regulation is to help reduce

the 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 auto-

matically turned OFF. Certain sensors are used to

meet the requirements.

The Occupant Classification Sensor in this ve-

hicle is a weight sensor. It is designed to detect

an occupant and objects on the seat by weight.

For example, if a child is in the front passenger

seat, the Advanced Air Bag System is designed

to turn the passenger air bag OFF in accordance

with the regulations. Also, if a child restraint of the

type specified in the regulations is on the seat,

the Occupant Classification Sensors can detect

it and cause the air bag to turn OFF.

Front passenger seat adult occupants who are

properly seated and using the seat belt as outlined

in this manual should not cause the passenger air

bag to be automatically turned OFF. For small

adults it may be turned OFF, however if the occu-

pant takes his/her weight off the seat cushion (for

example, by not sitting upright, by sitting on an

edge of the seat, or by otherwise being out of

position), this could cause the sensor to turn the air

bag OFF. Always be sure to be seated and wearing

the seat belt properly for the most effective protec-

tion by the seat belt and supplemental air bag.

NISSAN recommends that pre-teens and chil-

dren be properly restrained in a rear seat.

NISSAN also recommends that appropriate child

restraints and booster seats be properly installed

in a rear seat. If this is not possible, the Occupant

Classification Sensor is designed to operate as

described above to turn the front passenger air

bag OFF for specified child restraints as required

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-51

by the regulations. Failing to properly secure

child restraints and to use the ALR mode may

allow the restraint to tip or move in a collision or

sudden stop. This can also result in the passen-

ger air bag inflating in a crash instead of being

OFF. For additional information, refer to “Child

restraints” in this section for proper use and in-

stallation.

If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the

passenger air bag is designed not to inflate in a

crash. However, heavy objects placed on the

seat 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 a child is

standing on the seat, or if two children are on the

seat, contrary to the instructions in this manual.

Always be sure that you and all vehicle occupants

are seated and restrained properly.

Using the passenger air bag status light, you can

monitor when the front passenger air bag is au-

tomatically turned OFF with the seat occupied.

The light will not illuminate when the front pas-

senger seat is unoccupied.

If an adult occupant is in the seat but the passen-

ger air bag status light is illuminated (indicating

that the air bag is OFF), it could be that the

person is a small adult, or is not sitting on the seat

properly or not using the seat belt properly.

If a child restraint must be used in the front seat,

the passenger air bag status light may or may not

be illuminated, depending on the size of the child

and the type of child restraint being used. If the air

bag status light is not illuminated (indicating that

the air bag might inflate in a crash), it could be

that the child restraint or seat belt is not being

used properly. Make sure that the child restraint is

installed properly, the seat belt is used properly

and the occupant is positioned properly. If the air

bag status light is not illuminated, reposition the

occupant or child restraint in a rear seat.

If the passenger air bag status light will not illu-

minate even though you believe that the child

restraint, the seat belts and the occupant are

properly positioned, the system may be sensing

an unoccupied seat (in which case the air bag is

OFF). Your NISSAN dealer can check that the

system is OFF by using a special tool. However,

until you have confirmed with your dealer that

your air bag is working properly, reposition the

occupant or child restraint in a rear seat.

The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System and

passenger air bag status light will take a few

seconds to register a change in the passenger

seat status. For example, if a large adult who is

sitting in the front passenger seat exits the ve-

hicle, the passenger air bag status light will go

from OFF to ON for a few seconds and then to

OFF. This is normal system operation and does

not indicate a malfunction.

If a malfunction occurs in the front passenger air

bag system, the supplemental air bag warning

light

, located in the meter and gauges area

of the instrument panel, will blink. Have the sys-

tem checked by a NISSAN dealer.

Normal operation

In order for the occupant classification system to

classify the right front passenger based on

weight, please follow the precautions and steps

outlined below:

Precautions

● Make sure there are no objects weighing

over 2.2 lbs (1 kg) hanging on the seat or

placed in the seatback pocket.

●

Make sure that a child seat or other object is

not pressing against the rear of the seatback.

● Make sure that a rear passenger is not push-

ing or pulling on the back of the front pas-

senger’s seat.

● Make sure that the front seat or seatback is

not forced back against an object on the

seat or floor behind it.

● Make sure that there is no object placed

under the front passenger’s seat.

1-52 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Steps

1. Adjust the seat as outlined in the “Seats”

section of the Owner’s Manual. Sit upright,

leaning against the seatback, and centered

on the seat cushion with your feet comfort-

ably extended to the floor.

2. Make sure there are no objects on the occu-

pant’s lap.

3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined in the “Seat

belts” section of the Owner’s Manual.

4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds al-

lowing the system to classify the front pas-

senger before the vehicle is put into motion.

5. Ensure proper classification by checking the

front passenger air bag status light.

NOTE:

This vehicle’s occupant classification sys-

tem locks the classification during driving

so it is important that you confirm that the

front passenger is properly classified prior

to driving. Also, the occupant classification

system may recalculate the weight of the

occupant when the vehicle comes to a stop

(i.e stop light, stop sign etc.), so front pas-

senger seat occupants should continue to

remain seated as outlined above.

Troubleshooting

If you think the front passenger air bag status light

is incorrect:

1. If the light is ON with no front passenger and

no objects on the front passenger seat:

This may be due to the following conditions that

may be interfering with the weight sensors:

● An object weighing over 2.2 lbs (1 kg) hang-

ing on the seat or placed in the seatback

pocket.

● A child seat or other object pressing against

the rear of the seatback.

● A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the

back of the front passenger’s seat.

● The front seat or seatback is forced back

against an object on the seat or floor behind

it.

● An object placed under the front passen-

ger’s seat.

● An object placed between the seat cushion

and center console or between door and

cushion.

If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop

when it is safe to do so. Check and correct any of

the above conditions. Restart the vehicle and

wait one minute.

NOTE:

A system check will be performed during

which the front passenger air bag status

light will remain lit for about 7 seconds

initially.

If the light is still on after this, the vehicle should

be checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as

possible.

2. If the light is ON with an adult occupying the

front passenger seat:

● Occupant is a small adult → the air bag light

is functioning as intended. The front passen-

ger air bag is suppressed.

However, if the occupant is not a small adult, then

this may be due to the following conditions that

may be interfering with the weight sensors:

● Occupant is not sitting upright, leaning

against the seatback, and centered on the

seat cushion with feet comfortably extended

to the floor.

● A child seat or other object pressing against

the rear of the seatback.

● A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the

back of the front passenger’s seat.

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-53

● The front seat or seatback is forced back

against an object on the seat or floor behind

it.

● An object placed under the front passen-

ger’s seat.

● An object placed between the seat cushion

and center console or between the seat

cushion and the door.

If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop

when it is safe to do so. Check and correct any of

the above conditions. Restart the vehicle and

wait one minute.

NOTE:

A system check will be performed during

which the front passenger air bag status

light will remain lit for about 7 seconds

initially.

If the light is still on after this, the person should

be advised not to ride in the front passenger seat

and the vehicle should be checked by a NISSAN

dealer as soon as possible.

3. If the light is OFF with small adult, child or

child restraint occupying the front passen-

ger seat.

This may be due to the following conditions

that may be interfering with the weight sen-

sors:

● Small adult or child is not sitting upright,

leaning against the seatback, and centered

on the seat cushion with feet comfortably

extended to the floor.

● The child restraint is not properly installed,

as outlined in the “Child restraints” section of

the Owner’s Manual.

● An object weighing over 2.2 lbs (1 kg) hang-

ing on the seat or placed in the seatback

pocket.

● A child seat or other object pressing against

the rear of the seatback.

● A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the

back of the front passenger’s seat.

● The front seat or seatback is forced back

against an object on the seat or floor behind

it.

● An object placed under the front passen-

ger’s seat.

● An object placed between the seat cushion

and center console.

If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop

when it is safe to do so. Check and correct any of

the above conditions. Restart the vehicle and

wait one minute.

NOTE:

A system check will be performed during

which the front passenger air bag status

light will remain lit for about 7 seconds

initially.

If the light is still OFF after this, the small adult,

child or child restraint should be repositioned in

the rear seat and the vehicle should be checked

by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

Other supplemental front-impact air bag

precautions

WARNING

● Do not place any objects on the steering

wheel pad or on the instrument panel.

Also, do not place any objects between

any occupant and the steering wheel or

instrument panel. Such objects may be-

come dangerous projectiles and cause

injury if the front air bags inflate.

1-54 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

● Do not place objects with sharp edges

on the seat. Also, do not place heavy

objects on the seat that will leave per-

manent impressions in the seat. Such

objects can damage the seat or Occu-

pant Classification Sensors (weight

sensors). This can affect the operation

of the air bag system and result in seri-

ous personal injury.

● Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot

steam cleaners) on the seat. This can

damage the seat or Occupant Classifi-

cation Sensors. This can also affect the

operation of the air bag system and

result in serious personal injury.

● Immediately after inflation, several

front air bag system components will be

hot. Do not touch them; you may se-

verely burn yourself.

● No unauthorized changes should be

made to any components or wiring of

the supplemental air bag system. This is

to prevent accidental inflation of the

supplemental air bag or damage to the

supplemental air bag system.

● Do not make unauthorized changes to

your vehicle’s electrical system, sus-

pension system or front end structure.

This could affect proper operation of

the front air bag system.

● Tampering with the front air bag system

may result in serious personal injury.

Tampering includes changes to the

steering wheel and the instrument

panel assembly by placing material

over the steering wheel pad and above

the instrument panel or by installing

additional trim material around the air

bag system.

● Removing or modifying the front pas-

senger seat may affect the function of

the air bag and result in serious per-

sonal injury.

● Modifying or tampering with the front

passenger seat may result in serious

personal injury. For example, do not

change the front seats by placing mate-

rial on the seat cushion or by installing

additional trim material, such as seat

covers, on the seat that are not specifi-

cally designed to assure proper air bag

operation. Additionally, do not stow any

objects under the front passenger seat

or the seat cushion and seatback. Such

objects may interfere with the proper

operation of the Occupant Classifica-

tion Sensor (weight sensor).

● No unauthorized changes should be

made to any components or wiring of

the seat belt system. This may affect the

front air bag system. Tampering with

the seat belt system may result in seri-

ous personal injury.

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-55

● Work on and around the front air bag

system should be done by a NISSAN

dealer. Installation of electrical equip-

ment should also be done by a NISSAN

dealer. The Supplemental Restraint

System (SRS) wiring harnesses* should

not be modified or disconnected. Unau-

thorized electrical test equipment and

probing devices should not be used on

the air bag system.

● A cracked windshield should be re-

placed immediately by a qualified repair

facility. A cracked windshield could af-

fect the function of the supplemental air

bag system.

*The SRS wiring harness connectors are

yellow and orange for easy identification.

When selling your vehicle, we request that you

inform the buyer about the front air bag system

and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections

in this Owner’s Manual.

FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-

IMPACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG

AND ROOF-MOUNTED CURTAIN

SIDE-IMPACT AND ROLLOVER

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG SYSTEMS

The side air bags are located in the outside of the

seatback of the front seats. The curtain air bags

are located in the side roof rails. All of the

information, cautions and warnings in this

manual must be followed. The side air bags

and curtain air bags are designed to inflate in

higher severity side collisions, although they may

inflate if the forces in another type of collision are

similar to those of a higher severity impact. They

are designed to inflate on the side where the

vehicle is impacted. They may not inflate in cer-

tain side collisions.

Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate in

certain types of rollover collisions or near roll-

overs. As a result, certain vehicle movements (for

example, during severe off-roading) may cause

the curtain air bags to inflate.

Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an

indication of proper side air bag and curtain air

bag operation.

When the side air bags and curtain air bags

inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard, followed

by the release of smoke. This smoke is not harm-

ful and does not indicate a fire. Care should be

taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irritation and

choking. Those with a history of a breathing con-

dition should get fresh air promptly.

Side air bags, along with the use of seat belts,

help to cushion the impact force on the chest and

pelvic area of the front occupants. Curtain air

bags help to cushion the impact force to the head

of occupants in the front and rear outboard seat-

ing positions. They can help save lives and re-

duce serious injuries. However, an inflating side

air bag and curtain air bag may cause abrasions

or other injuries. Side air bags and curtain air

bags do not provide restraint to the lower body.

LRS0259

1-56 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

The seat belts should be correctly worn and the

driver and passenger seated upright as far as

practical away from the side air bag. Rear seat

passengers should be seated as far away as

practical from the door finishers and side roof

rails. The side air bags and curtain air bags inflate

quickly in order to help protect the occupants.

Because of this, the force of the side air bag and

curtain air bag inflating can increase the risk of

injury if the occupant is too close to, or is against,

these air bag modules during inflation. The side

air bag will deflate quickly after the collision is

over.

The curtain air bag will remain inflated for a short

time.

The side air bags and curtain air bags op-

erate only when the ignition switch is

placed in the ON position.

After placing the ignition switch in the ON

position, the supplemental air bag warning

light illuminates. The supplemental air bag

warning light will turn off after about 7 sec-

onds if the system is operational.

WARNING

● Do not place any objects near the seat-

back of the front seats. Also, do not

place any objects (an umbrella, bag,

etc.) between the front door finisher

and the front seat. Such objects may

become dangerous projectiles and

cause injury if a side air bag inflates.

● Right after inflation, several side air bag

and curtain air bag system components

will be hot. Do not touch them; you may

severely burn yourself.

● No unauthorized changes should be

made to any components or wiring of

the side air bag and curtain air bag

systems. This is to prevent damage to or

accidental inflation of the side air bag

and curtain air bag or damage to the

side air bag and curtain air bag systems.

● Do not make unauthorized changes to

your vehicle’s electrical system, sus-

pension system or side panel. This

could affect proper operation of the

side air bag and curtain air bag systems.

● Tampering with the side air bag system

may result in serious personal injury.

For example, do not change the front

seats by placing material near the seat-

backs or by installing additional trim

material, such as seat covers, around

the side air bag.

● Work around and on the side air bag

and curtain air bag system should be

done by a NISSAN dealer. Installation

of electrical equipment should also be

done by a NISSAN dealer. The SRS wir-

ing harnesses* should not be modified

or disconnected. Unauthorized electri-

cal test equipment and probing devices

should not be used on the side air bag

or curtain air bag system.

* The SRS wiring harness connectors are

yellow and orange for easy identification.

When selling your vehicle, we request that you

inform the buyer about the side air bag and

curtain air bag systems and guide the buyer to

the appropriate sections in this Owner’s Manual.

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-57

SEAT BELTS WITH

PRETENSIONERS (front seats)

WARNING

● The pretensioners cannot be reused af-

ter activation. They must be replaced

together with the retractor and buckle

as a unit.

● If the vehicle becomes involved in a

collision but a pretensioner is not acti-

vated, be sure to have the pretensioner

system checked and, if necessary, re-

placed by your NISSAN dealer.

● No unauthorized changes should be

made to any components or wiring of

the pretensioner system. This is to pre-

vent damage to or accidental activation

of the pretensioners. Tampering with

the pretensioner system may result in

serious personal injury.

● Work around and on the pretensioner

system should be done by a NISSAN

dealer. Installation of electrical equip-

ment should also be done by a NISSAN

dealer. Unauthorized electrical test

equipment and probing devices should

not be used on the pretensioner system.

● If you need to dispose of a pretensioner

or scrap the vehicle, contact a NISSAN

dealer. Incorrect disposal procedures

could cause personal injury.

The pretensioner system may activate with the

supplemental air bag system in certain types of

collisions. Working with the seat belt retractor,

the pretensioners help tighten the seat belt when

the vehicle becomes involved in certain types of

collisions, helping to restrain front seat occu-

pants.

The pretensioners are part of the seat belt retrac-

tor assembly. These seat belts are used the same

way as conventional seat belts.

When a pretensioner activates, smoke is re-

leased and a loud noise may be heard. This

smoke is not harmful and does not indicate a fire.

Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it may

cause irritation and choking. Those with a history

of a breathing condition should get fresh air

promptly.

After pretensioner activation, load limiters allow

the seat belt to release webbing (if necessary) to

reduce forces against the chest.

The supplemental air bag warning light

used to indicate malfunctions in the pretensioner

system. For additional information, refer to

⬙Supplemental air bag warning light⬙ in this sec-

tion. If the operation of the supplemental air bag

warning light indicates there is a malfunction,

have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.

When selling your vehicle, we request that you

inform the buyer about the pretensioner system

and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections

in this Owner’s Manual.

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG

WARNING LIGHT

The supplemental air bag warning light,

displaying

in the instrument panel, moni-

tors the circuits for the air bag systems, preten-

sioners and all related wiring.

When the ignition is placed in the ON or START

position, the supplemental air bag warning light

illuminates for about 7 seconds and then turns

off. This means the system is operational.

If any of the following conditions occur, the front

air bag, side air bag and curtain air bag and

pretensioner systems need servicing:

● The supplemental air bag warning light re-

mains on after approximately 7 seconds.

● The supplemental air bag warning light

flashes intermittently.

● The supplemental air bag warning light does

not come on at all.

Under these conditions, the front air bag, side air

bag and curtain air bag or pretensioner systems

may not operate properly. They must be checked

and repaired. Take your vehicle to the nearest

NISSAN dealer.

WARNING

If the supplemental air bag warning light

is on, it could mean that the front air bag,

side air bag, curtain air bag and/or preten-

sioner systems will not operate in an acci-

dent. To help avoid injury to yourself or

others, have your vehicle checked by a

NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

LRS2163 LRS0100

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-59

Repair and replacement procedure

The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air bags

and pretensioners are designed to inflate on a

one-time-only basis. As a reminder, unless it is

damaged, the supplemental air bag warning light

remains illuminated after inflation has occurred.

Repair and replacement of these supplemental

air bag systems should be done only by a

NISSAN dealer.

When maintenance work is required on the ve-

hicle, the front air bags, side air bags, curtain air

bags, pretensioners and related parts should be

pointed out to the person performing the mainte-

nance. The ignition should always be in the LOCK

position when working under the hood or inside

the vehicle.

WARNING

● Once a front air bag, side air bag, or

curtain air bag has inflated, the air bag

module will not function again and

must be replaced. Additionally, the acti-

vated pretensioners must also be re-

placed. The air bag module and preten-

sioners should be replaced by a

NISSAN dealer. The air bag module and

pretensioners cannot be repaired.

● The front air bag, side air bag, curtain

air bag systems and the pretensioner

system should be inspected by a

NISSAN dealer if there is any damage to

the front end or side portion of the

vehicle.

● If you need to dispose of a supplemen-

tal air bag or pretensioners or scrap the

Driving with under-inflated tires may

permanently damage the tires and in-

crease the likelihood of tire failure. Se-

rious vehicle damage could occur and

may lead to an accident and could result

in serious personal injury. Check the

tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust the

tire pressure to the recommended

COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire

placard located in the driver’s door

opening to turn the low tire pressure

warning light OFF. If the light still

comes on while driving after adjusting

the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If

you have a flat tire, replace it with a

spare tire as soon as possible.

● 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.

Contact a NISSAN dealer as soon as

possible for tire replacement and/or

system resetting.

● Replacing tires with those not originally

specified by NISSAN could affect the

proper operation of the TPMS.

CAUTION

● The TPMS is not a substitute for the

regular tire pressure check. Be sure to

check the tire pressure regularly.

Your vehicle may have two types of security sys-

tems:

● Vehicle security system

● NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM

The vehicle security system provides visual and

audible alarm signals if someone opens the

doors, trunk, liftgate or the hood when the system

is armed. It is not, however, a motion detection

type system that activates when a vehicle is

moved or when a vibration occurs.

The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot

prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior or

exterior vehicle components in all situations. Al-

ways secure your vehicle even if parking for a

brief period. Never leave your Intelligent Key in

the vehicle, and always lock the vehicle when

unattended. Be aware of your surroundings, and

park in secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.

Many devices offering additional protection, such

as component locks, identification markers, and

tracking systems, are available at auto supply

stores and specialty shops. A NISSAN dealer

may also offer such equipment. Check with your

insurance company to see if you may be eligible

for discounts for various theft protection features.

How to arm the vehicle security

system

1. Close all windows. (The system can be

armed even if the windows are open.)

2. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.

3. Close all doors, hood and trunk/liftgate.

Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with

the Intelligent Key, door handle request

switch (if so equipped), power door lock

switch or mechanical key.

SECURITY SYSTEMS

Instruments and controls 2-27

4. Confirm that the security indicator light

comes on. The security light stays on for

about 30 seconds. The vehicle security sys-

tem is now pre-armed. After about 30 sec-

onds the vehicle security system automati-

cally shifts into the armed phase. The

security light begins to flash once every

3 seconds. If, during the 30-second pre-arm

time period, the driver’s door is unlocked by

the key or the key fob, or the ignition switch

is placed in the ACC or ON position, the

system will not arm.

● Even when the driver and/or passen-

gers are in the vehicle, the system will

activate with all the doors, hood and

trunk lid locked with the ignition switch

placed in the LOCK position. When

placing the ignition switch in the ACC

or ON position, the system will be re-

leased.

Vehicle security system activation

The vehicle security system will give the following

alarm:

● The headlights blink and the horn sounds

intermittently.

● The alarm automatically turns off after a pe-

riod of time. However, the alarm reactivates if

the vehicle is tampered with again. The alarm

can be shut off by unlocking the driver’s door

or trunk lid with the key, or by pressing

the

button on the Intelligent Key.

The alarm is activated by:

● opening the door or trunk lid without using

the key or Intelligent Key (even if the door is

unlocked by releasing the door inside lock

switch).

How to stop an activated alarm

The alarm stops only by unlocking the driver’s

door or the trunk lid with the key, pressing

the

button on the Intelligent Key, or press-

ing the request switch (if so equipped) on the

driver’s or passenger’s door with the Intelligent

Key in range of the door handle.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER

SYSTEM

The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System will not

allow the engine to start without the use of a

registered key.

If the engine fails to start using a registered key

(for example, when interference is caused by

another registered key, an automated toll road

device or automatic payment device on the key

ring), restart the engine using the following pro-

cedures:

1. Leave the ignition switch placed in the ON

position for approximately 5 seconds.

2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or

LOCK position, and wait approximately

10 seconds.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2.

4. Restart the engine while holding the device

(which may have caused the interference)

separate from the registered key.

If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN rec-

ommends placing the registered key on a sepa-

rate key ring to avoid interference from other

devices.

FCC Notice:

For USA:

This device complies with part 15 of the

FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the fol-

lowing two conditions: (1) This device may

XENON HEADLIGHTS (if so

equipped)

WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE

● When xenon headlights are on, they

produce a high voltage. To prevent an

electric shock, never attempt to modify

or disassemble. Always have your xe-

non headlights replaced at a NISSAN

dealer.

● Xenon headlights provide considerably

more light than conventional head-

lights. If they are not correctly aimed,

they might temporarily blind an oncom-

ing driver or the driver ahead of you and

cause a serious accident. If headlights

are not aimed correctly, immediately

take your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer

and have the headlights adjusted

correctly.

When the xenon headlight is initially turned on, its

brightness or color varies slightly. However, the

color and brightness will soon stabilize.

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver provides

a convenient way to consolidate the functions of

up to three individual hand-held transmitters into

one built-in device.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:

● Will operate most Radio Frequency devices

such as garage doors, gates, home and of-

fice lighting, entry door locks and security

systems.

● Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No

separate batteries are required. If the vehi-

cle’s battery is discharged or is discon-

nected, HomeLink® will retain all program-

ming.

When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-

ceiver is programmed, retain the original

transmitter for future programming proce-

dures (Example: new vehicle purchases).

Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver buttons

should be erased for security purposes. For

additional information, refer to “Program-

ming HomeLink®” in this section.

WARNING

● Do not use the HomeLink® Universal

Transceiver with any garage door

opener that lacks safety stop and re-

verse features as required by federal

safety standards. (These standards be-

came effective for opener models

manufactured after April 1, 1982). A ga-

rage door opener which cannot detect

an object in the path of a closing garage

door and then automatically stop and

reverse, does not meet current federal

safety standards. Using a garage door

opener without these features in-

creases the risk of serious injury or

death.

● During the programming procedure

your garage door or security gate will

open and close (if the transmitter is

within range). Make sure that people or

objects are clear of the garage door,

gate, etc. that you are programming.

● Your vehicle’s engine should be turned

off while programming the HomeLink®

Universal Transceiver.

NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY®

Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intelligent

Keys which are registered to your vehicle’s Intel-

ligent Key system components and NISSAN Ve-

hicle Immobilizer System components. As many

as four Intelligent Keys can be registered and

used with one vehicle. The new keys must be

registered by a NISSAN dealer prior to use with

the Intelligent Key system and NISSAN Vehicle

Immobilizer System of your vehicle. Since the

registration process requires erasing all memory

in the Intelligent Key components when register-

ing new keys, be sure to take all Intelligent Keys

that you have to the NISSAN dealer.

A key number plate is supplied with your keys.

Record the key number and keep it in a safe place

(such as your wallet), not in the vehicle. If you lose

your keys, see a NISSAN dealer for duplicates by

using the key number. NISSAN does not record

key numbers so it is very important to keep track

of your key number plate.

A key number is only necessary when you have

lost all keys and do not have one to duplicate

from. If you still have a key, a NISSAN dealer can

duplicate it.

CAUTION

Listed below are conditions or occur-

rences which will damage the Intelligent

Key:

● Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which

contains electrical components, to

come into contact with water or salt

water. This could affect the system

function.

● Do not drop the Intelligent Key.

● Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply

against another object.

● Do not change or modify the Intelligent

Key.

● Wetting may damage the Intelligent

Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet, im-

mediately wipe until it is completely dry.

● Do not place the Intelligent Key for an

extended period in an area where tem-

peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).

● Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a

key holder that contains a magnet.

Type A (if so equipped)

KEYS

3-2 Pre-driving checks and adjustments

● Do not place the Intelligent Key near

equipment that produces a magnetic

field, such as a TV, audio equipment and

personal computers.

If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen,

NISSAN recommends erasing the ID code

of that Intelligent Key from the vehicle.

This may prevent the unauthorized use of

the Intelligent Key to operate the vehicle.

For information regarding the erasing

procedure, contact a NISSAN dealer.

Mechanical key

The Intelligent Key contains the mechanical key.

To remove the mechanical key, release the lock

knob on the back of the Intelligent Key.

To install the mechanical key, firmly insert it into

the Intelligent Key until the lock knob returns to

the lock position.

Use the mechanical key to lock or unlock the

doors, glove box and rear seatback lock.

For additional information, refer to “Doors” in this

section, “Storage” in the “Instruments and con-

trols”section, and “Seats”in the “Safety — Seats,

seat belts and supplemental restraint system”

section of this manual.

CAUTION

Always carry the mechanical key installed

in the Intelligent Key slot.

Valet hand-off

When you have to leave a key with a valet, give

them the Intelligent Key itself and keep the me-

chanical key with you to protect your belongings.

To prevent the glove box and the trunk (if the rear

seat back release is equipped with a lock) from

being opened during valet hand-off, follow the

procedures below:

1. Push the trunk cancel switch (if so

equipped) to the OFF position.

2. Remove the mechanical key from the Intelli-

gent Key.

3. Lock the glove box and the rear seats (if the

rear seat back release is equipped with a

lock) with the mechanical key.

4. Hand the Intelligent Key to the valet and

keep the mechanical key with you.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER

SYSTEM KEYS

You can only drive your vehicle using the master

keys which are registered to the NISSAN Vehicle

Immobilizer System components in your vehicle.

The master key can be used for all the locks.

Never leave these keys in the vehicle.

Additional or replacement keys:

If you still have a key, the key number is not

necessary when you need extra NISSAN Vehicle

Immobilizer System keys. A NISSAN dealer can

duplicate your existing key. This is because the

registration process will erase the memory of all

key codes previously registered into the NISSAN

Vehicle Immobilizer System.

CAUTION

Do not allow the immobilizer system key,

which contains an electrical transponder,

to come into contact with water or salt

water. This could affect system function.

When the doors are locked using one of the

following methods, the doors cannot be opened

using the inside or outside door handles. The

doors must be unlocked to open the doors.

WARNING

● Always have the doors locked while

driving. Along with the use of seat belts,

this provides greater safety in the event

of an accident by helping to prevent

persons from being thrown from the

vehicle. This also helps keep children

and others from unintentionally open-

ing the doors, and will help keep out

intruders.

● Before opening any door, always look

for and avoid oncoming traffic.

● Do not leave children unattended inside

the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-

tivate switches or controls. Unattended

children could become involved in seri-

ous accidents.

WARNING

● Radio waves could adversely affect

electric medical equipment. Those who

use a pacemaker should contact the

electric medical equipment manufac-

turer for the possible influences before

use.

● The Intelligent Key transmits radio

waves when the buttons are pressed.

The FAA advises the radio waves may

affect aircraft navigation and communi-

cation systems. Do not operate the In-

telligent Key while on an airplane. Make

sure the buttons are not operated unin-

tentionally when the unit is stored for a

flight.

The Intelligent Key can operate all the door locks

using the remote controller function. The operat-

ing environment and/or conditions may affect the

Intelligent Key operation.

Be sure to read the following before using the

Intelligent Key.

CAUTION

● Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with

you when operating the vehicle.

● Never leave the Intelligent Key in the

vehicle when you leave the vehicle.

The Intelligent Key is always communicating with

the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The Intel-

ligent Key transmits weak radio waves. Environ-

mental conditions may interfere with the opera-

tion of the Intelligent Key under the following

operating conditions:

● When operating near a location where

strong radio waves are transmitted, such as

a TV tower, power station and broadcasting

station.

● When in possession of wireless equipment,

such as a cellular telephone, transceiver,

and CB radio.

● When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or

covered by metallic materials.

● When any type of radio wave remote control

is used nearby.

● When the Intelligent Key is placed near an

electric appliance such as a personal com-

puter.

● When the vehicle is parked near a parking

meter.

In such cases, correct the operating conditions

before using the Intelligent Key function or use

the mechanical key.

Although the life of the battery varies depending

on the operating conditions, the battery’s life is

approximately 2 years. If the battery is dis-

charged, replace it with a new one.

When the Intelligent Key battery is low, an indi-

cator illuminates in the Vehicle Information Dis-

play. For additional information, refer to “Vehicle

Information Display” in the “Instruments and con-

trols” section.

Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiving

radio waves, if the key is left near equipment

which transmits strong radio waves, such as sig-

nals from a TV and personal computer, the bat-

tery life may become shorter.

For additional information regarding replacement

of a battery, refer to “Battery replacement” in the

“Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.

As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered

and used with one vehicle. For information about

the purchase and use of additional Intelligent

Keys, contact a NISSAN dealer.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-

tions for proper use of the RearView

Monitor could result in serious injury or

death.

● The RearView Monitor is a convenience

but it is not a substitute for proper back-

ing. Always turn and look out the win-

dows, and check mirrors to be sure that

it is safe to move before operating the

vehicle. Always back up slowly.

● The system is designed as an aid to the

driver in showing large stationary ob-

jects directly behind the vehicle, to help

avoid damaging the vehicle.

● The system cannot completely elimi-

nate blind spots and may not show ev-

ery object.

● Underneath the bumper and the corner

areas of the bumper cannot be viewed

on the RearView Monitor because of its

monitoring range limitation. The system

will not show small objects below the

bumper, and may not show objects

close to the bumper or on the ground.

● Objects viewed in the RearView Moni-

tor differ from actual distance because

a wide-angle lens is used.

● Objects in a RearView Monitor will ap-

pear visually opposite than when

viewed in the rear view and outside

mirrors.

● Make sure that the trunk is securely

closed when backing up.

● Do not put anything on the rearview

camera. The rearview camera is in-

stalled above the license plate.

● When washing the vehicle with high

pressure water, be sure not to spray it

around the camera. Otherwise, water

may enter the camera unit causing wa-

ter condensation on the lens, a mal-

function, fire or an electric shock.

● Do not strike the camera. It is a preci-

sion instrument. Otherwise, it may mal-

function or cause damage resulting in a

fire or an electric shock.

OPERATING TIPS

CAUTION

● Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner

to clean the camera. This will cause

discoloration. To clean the camera,

wipe with a cloth dampened with a di-

luted mild cleaning agent and then wipe

with a dry cloth.

● Do not damage the camera as the moni-

tor screen may be adversely affected.

● When the shift lever is shifted to R (Re-

verse), the monitor screen automatically

changes to the RearView Monitor mode.

However, the radio can be heard.

● It may take some time until the RearView

Monitor is displayed after the shift lever has

been shifted to R (Reverse). Objects may be

distorted momentarily until the RearView

Monitor screen is displayed completely.

When the shift lever is returned to a position

other than R (Reverse), it may take some

time until the screen changes. Objects on

the screen may be distorted until they are

completely displayed.

● When the temperature is extremely high or

low, the screen may not clearly display ob-

jects. This is not a malfunction.

● When strong light directly enters the cam-

era, objects may not be displayed clearly.

This is not a malfunction.

● Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the

screen. This is due to strong reflected light

from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.

● The screen may flicker under fluorescent

light. This is not a malfunction.

● The colors of objects on the RearView Moni-

tor may differ somewhat from those of the

actual object.

● When the contrast of objects is low at night,

pressing the ENTER/SETTING button or

ENTER/AUDIO button may not change the

brightness.

● Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a

dark place or at night.

● If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,

the RearView Monitor may not display ob-

jects. Clean the camera.

● Do not use body wax on the camera window.

If body wax does get on the camera window,

wipe off the wax with a clean cloth damp-

ened with mild detergent diluted with water.

HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED

COURSE LINES

WARNING

● Always turn and check that it is safe to

do so before backing up. Always back

up slowly.

● Use the displayed lines as a reference.

The lines are highly affected by the

number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle

position, road conditions and road

grade.

● If the tires are replaced with different

sized tires, the predicted course lines

may be displayed incorrectly.

● On a snow-covered or slippery road,

there may be a difference between the

predicted course line and the actual

course line.

● If the battery is disconnected or be-

comes discharged, the predicted course

lines may be displayed incorrectly. If

this occurs, please perform the follow-

ing procedures:

– Turn the steering wheel from lock to

lock while the engine is running.

– Drive the vehicle on a straight road

for more than 5 minutes.

● When the steering wheel is turned with

the ignition switch in the ACC position,

the predicted course lines may be dis-

played incorrectly.

● The distance guide line and the vehicle

width line should be used as a reference

only when the vehicle is on a level

paved surface. The distance viewed on

the monitor is for reference only and

may be different than the actual dis-

tance between the vehicle and dis-

played objects.

● When backing up the vehicle up a hill,

objects viewed in the monitor are fur-

ther than they appear. When backing up

the vehicle down a hill, objects viewed

in the monitor are closer than they ap-

pear. Use the inside mirror or glance

over your shoulder to properly judge

distances to other objects.

The vehicle width and predicted course

lines are wider than the actual width and

course.

1. Visually check that the parking space is safe

before parking your vehicle.

2. The rear view of the vehicle is displayed on

the screen

䊊

when the shift lever is moved

to the R (Reverse) position.

when the vehicle is on a level, paved surface. The

distance viewed on the monitor is for reference

only and may be different than the actual distance

between the vehicle and displayed objects.

When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the dis-

tance guide lines and the vehicle width guide

lines are shown closer than the actual distance.

For example, the display shows 3 ft. (1m)tothe

䊊

, but the actual 3 ft. (1 m ) distance on the hill

is the place

䊊

. Note that any object on the hill is

viewed in the monitor further than it appears.

Backing up on a steep downhill

When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the

distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide

lines are shown farther than the actual distance.

For example, the display shows 1.0 m (3 ft) to the

place

䊊

, but the actual 1.0 m (3 ft) distance on

the hill is the place

䊊

. Note that any object on

the hill is closer than it appears on the monitor.

Color, Contrast and Black Level of the RearView

Monitor, press the ENTER/SETTING button with

the RearView Monitor on, select the item key and

adjust the level using the multi-function control-

ler.

Do not adjust the Brightness, Tint, Color, Con-

trast and Black Level of the RearView Monitor

while the vehicle is moving. Make sure the park-

ing brake is firmly applied.

OPERATING TIPS

● When the shift lever is shifted to R (Re-

verse), the monitor screen automatically

changes to the RearView Monitor mode.

However, the radio can be heard.

LHA2946 LHA3100

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems 4-21

● It may take some time until the RearView

Monitor is displayed after the shift lever has

been shifted to R (Reverse). Objects may be

distorted momentarily until the RearView

Monitor screen is displayed completely.

When the shift lever is returned to a position

other than R (Reverse), it may take some

time until the screen changes. Objects on

the screen may be distorted until they are

completely displayed.

● When the temperature is extremely high or

low, the screen may not clearly display ob-

jects. This is not a malfunction.

● When strong light directly enters the cam-

era, objects may not be displayed clearly.

This is not a malfunction.

● Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the

screen. This is due to strong reflected light

from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.

● The screen may flicker under fluorescent

light. This is not a malfunction.

● The colors of objects on the RearView Moni-

tor may differ somewhat from those of the

actual object.

● Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a

dark place or at night. This is not a malfunc-

tion.

● If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,

the RearView Monitor may not display ob-

jects. Clean the camera.

● Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to

clean the camera. This will cause discolor-

ation. To clean the camera, wipe with a cloth

dampened with diluted mild cleaning agent

and then wipe with a dry cloth.

● Do not damage the camera as the monitor

screen may be adversely affected.

● Do not use wax on the camera window.

Wipe off the wax with a clean cloth damp-

ened with mild detergent diluted with water.

MOVING OBJECT DETECTION

(MOD) (if so equipped)

The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system can

inform the driver of moving objects behind the

vehicle when backing out of garages, maneuver-

ing in parking lots and in other such instances.

The MOD system detects moving objects by

using image processing technology on the image

shown in the display.

When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position

and the vehicle speed is approximately 5 MPH

(8 km/h) or less, the MOD system detects moving

objects in the rearview or rear-wide view. The

MOD system will not operate if the trunk is open.

WARNING

● The MOD system is not a substitute for

proper vehicle operation and does not

prevent contact with the objects sur-

rounding the vehicle. When maneuver-

ing, always use the outside mirror and

rear view mirror and turn and look to

check the surroundings to make sure it

is safe to maneuver.

● The MOD system is not designed to

detect surrounding stationary objects.

If the MOD system detects moving objects be-

hind the vehicle, a yellow frame will be displayed

on the camera image and a chime sounds.

MOD malfunction

WARNING

● Do not use the MOD system when tow-

ing a trailer. The system may not func-

tion properly.

● Excessive noise (for example, audio

system volume or open vehicle window)

will interfere with the chime sound, and

it may not be heard.

● The MOD system performance will be

limited according to environmental con-

ditions and surrounding objects such

as:

– When there is low contrast between

background and the moving objects.

– When there is blinking source of

light.

– When strong light such as another

vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is

present.

– When there is dirt, water drops or

snow on the camera lens.

– When the position of the moving ob-

jects in the display is not changed.

● The MOD system might detect some-

thing like flowing water droplets on the

camera lens, white smoke from the

muffler, moving shadows, etc.

● The MOD system may not function

properly depending on the speed, direc-

tion, distance or shape of the moving

objects.

● If your vehicle sustains damage to the

parts where the camera is installed,

leaving it misaligned or bent, the sens-

ing zone may be altered and the MOD

system may not detect objects properly.

When the yellow MOD icon is displayed in the

view, the system is not functioning properly. This

will not hinder normal driving operation but the

system should be inspected by a NISSAN dealer.

The air conditioner system in your NISSAN ve-

hicle is charged with a refrigerant designed with

the environment in mind.

This refrigerant does not harm the earth’s

ozone layer.

Special charging equipment and lubricant is re-

quired when servicing your NISSAN air condi-

tioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubricants

will cause severe damage to your air conditioner

system. For additional information, refer to “Air

conditioner system refrigerant and oil recommen-

dations” in the “Technical and consumer informa-

tion” section of this manual.

A NISSAN dealer is able to service your “environ-

mentally friendly” air conditioning system.

WARNING

The air conditioner system contains refrig-

erant under high pressure. To avoid per-

sonal injury, any air conditioner service

should be done only by an experienced

technician with proper equipment.

RADIO

With the ignition placed in the ACC or ON posi-

tion, press the

POWER button /VOL (vol-

ume) knob to turn the radio on. If you listen to the

radio with the engine not running, the ignition

should be placed in the ACC position.

Radio reception is affected by station signal

strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-

ings, bridges, mountains and other external influ-

ences. Intermittent changes in reception quality

normally are caused by these external influences.

Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle

may influence radio reception quality.

Radio reception

Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with

state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance ra-

dio reception. These circuits are designed to

extend reception range, and to enhance the qual-

ity of that reception.

However, there are some general characteristics

of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect

radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even

when the finest equipment is used. These char-

acteristics are completely normal in a given re-

ception area and do not indicate any malfunction

in your NISSAN radio system.

Reception conditions will constantly change be-

cause of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain,

signal distance and interference from other ve-

hicles can work against ideal reception. De-

scribed below are some of the factors that can

affect your radio reception.

Some cellular phones or other devices may

cause interference or a buzzing noise to come

from the audio system speakers. Storing the de-

vice in a different location may reduce or elimi-

nate the noise.

FM RADIO RECEPTION

Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 – 30 mi

(40 – 48 km), with monaural (single channel) FM

having slightly more range than stereo FM. Exter-

nal influences may sometimes interfere with FM

station reception even if the FM station is within

25 mi (40 km). The strength of the FM signal is

directly related to the distance between the

transmitter and receiver. FM signals follow a line-

of-sight path, exhibiting many of the same char-

acteristics as light. For example, they will reflect

off objects.

Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from

a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade

and/or drift.

SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER AUDIO SYSTEM

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems 4-35

Static and flutter: During signal interference from

buildings, large hills or due to antenna position

(usually in conjunction with increased distance

from the station transmitter), static or flutter can

be heard. This can be reduced by adjusting the

treble control to reduce treble response.

Multipath reception: Because of the reflective

characteristics of FM signals, direct and reflected

signals reach the receiver at the same time. The

signals may cancel each other, resulting in mo-

mentary flutter or loss of sound.

AM RADIO RECEPTION

AM signals, because of their low frequency, can

bend around objects and skip along the ground.

In addition, the signals can be bounced off the

ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of

these characteristics, AM signals are also sub-

ject to interference as they travel from transmitter

to receiver.

Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing

through freeway underpasses or in areas with

many tall buildings. It can also occur for several

seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in

areas where no obstacles exist.

Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical

power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.

SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION (if so

equipped)

When the satellite radio is used for the first time

or the battery has been replaced, the satellite

radio may not work properly. This is not a mal-

function. Wait more than 10 minutes with satellite

radio ON and the vehicle outside of any metal or

large building for satellite radio to receive all of

the necessary data.

No satellite radio reception is available and “NO

SAT” is displayed when the SAT band option is

selected unless optional satellite receiver and

antenna are installed and a SiriusXM® Satellite

Radio service subscription is active. Satellite ra-

dio is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.

Satellite radio performance may be affected if

cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite radio

signal.

If possible, do not put cargo over the satellite

antenna.

A build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna can

affect satellite radio performance. Remove the

ice to restore satellite radio reception.

UNPLAYABLE

The file is unplayable in this audio sys-

tem (only MP3 or WMA (if so equipped)

CD).

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems 4-37

Compact disc with MP3 or WMA

Terms

● MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures

Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the

most well-known compressed digital audio

file format. This format allows for near “CD

quality” sound, but at a fraction of the size of

normal audio files. MP3 conversion of an

audio track from CD-ROM can reduce the

file size by approximately a 10:1 ratio with

virtually no perceptible loss in quality. MP3

compression removes the redundant and

irrelevant parts of a sound signal that the

human ear doesn’t hear.

● WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA)* is a

compressed audio format created by Micro-

soft as an alternative to MP3. The WMA

codec offers greater file compression than

the MP3 codec, enabling storage of more

digital audio tracks in the same amount of

space when compared to MP3s at the same

level of quality.

● Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of

bits per second used by a digital music file.

The size and quality of a compressed digital

audio file is determined by the bit rate used

when encoding the file.

● Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency

is the rate at which the samples of a signal

are converted from analog to digital (A/D

conversion) per second.

● Multisession — Multisession is one of the

methods for writing data to media. Writing

data once to the media is called a single

session, and writing more than once is called

a multisession.

● ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the

part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file that

contains information about the digital music

file such as song title, artist, encoding bit

rate, track time duration, etc. ID3 tag infor-

mation is displayed on the Artist/song title

line on the display.

* Windows® and Windows Media® are regis-

tered trademarks and trademarks in the United

States of America and other countries of Micro-

soft Corporation of the USA.

Playback order

Music playback order of a CD with MP3 or WMA

files is as illustrated.

● The names of folders not containing MP3 or

WMA files are not shown in the display.

Troubleshooting guide

Symptom Cause and Countermeasure

Cannot play

Check if the disc was inserted correctly.

Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.

Check if there is condensation inside the player. If there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before using the player.

If there is a temperature increase error, the CD player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.

If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and MP3/WMA files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data) will be played.

Files with extensions other than “.MP3”,“.WMA”, “.mp3” or “.wma” cannot be played. In addition, the character codes and number of characters for

folder names and file names should be in compliance with the specifications.

Check if the finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.

Check if the disc is protected by copyright.

Poor sound quality

Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.

Bit rate may be too low.

It takes a relatively long time

before the music starts

playing.

If there are many folders or file levels on the MP3/WMA disc, or if it is a multisession disc, some time may be required before the music starts playing.

Music cuts off or skips

The writing software and hardware combination might not match, or the writing speed, writing depth, writing width, etc., might not match the

specifications. Try using the slowest writing speed.

Skipping with high bit rate

files

Skipping may occur with large quantities of data, such as for high bit rate data.

Moves immediately to the

next song when playing

When a non-MP3/WMA file has been given an extension of “.MP3”, “.WMA”, .“mp3”or “.wma”, or when play is prohibited by copyright protection, there

will be approximately 5 seconds of no sound and then the player will skip to the next song.

Songs do not play back in

the desired order

The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing software. Therefore, the files might not play in the desired order.
