NOTE
The front passenger seat belt warning will not
light up if the seat is unoccupied.
PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE
Your chances of being injured in an accident and/or
the severity of injury may be greatly reduced if you
are wearing your seat belt and it is properly ad-
justed. NISSAN strongly encourages you and all of
your passengers to buckle up every time you drive,
even if your seating position is equipped with an air
bag.
WARNING
Be sure to observe the following warnings when
using seat belts. Failure to do so could increase
the chance and/or severity of injury in an acci-
dent.
•Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony
structure of the body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis,
chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing
the lap section of the belt across the abdomi-
nal area must be avoided. Serious injury can
occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
•No modifications or additions should be made
by the user which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from operating to re-
move slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly
from being adjusted to remove slack.
•Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort to provide
the protection for which they have been de-
signed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
•Care should be taken to avoid contamination
of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemi-
cals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild soap and
water. The belt should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.
•It is essential to replace the entire assembly
after it has been worn in a severe impact even
if damage to the assembly is not obvious.
•Belts should not be worn with straps twisted.
•Each seat belt assembly must only be used by
one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt
around a child being carried on the occupant’s
lap.
•Every occupant in this vehicle should wear a
seat belt at all times.
•Your vehicle has seating positions and seat
belts for five (5) occupants; two (2) in the front
seats and three (3) in the rear. Never carry
more people in the vehicle than there are seat
belts.
•All seat belt assemblies, including retractors
and attaching hardware, should be inspected
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop af-
ter any collision. NISSAN recommends that
all seat belt assemblies in use during a colli-sion should be replaced unless the collision
was minor and the belts show no damage and
continue to operate properly. Seat belt assem-
blies not in use during a collision should also
be inspected and replaced if either damage
or improper operation is noted.
•Once the pre-tensioner seat belt has been ac-
tivated, it cannot be re-used. It must be re-
placed together with the retractor. See a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
•Removal and installation of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system components should be done
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
ONLY.
•If the seat belt warning light glows continu-
ously while the ignition switch is in the ON
position, all doors are closed and seat belts
is/are fastened, it may indicate a malfunction
in the system. Have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
•Always route the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never run
the belt under your arm. Serious injury can
occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
•Position the lap belt as low as possible
AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE WAIST.

Intelligent Key indicator light and
Intelligent Key warning light
(Intelligent Key system only)
Intelligent Key indicator light (green):
The Intelligent Key indicator light comes on when
the ignition knob is pushed in the LOCK position
while the brake pedal is depressed and the Intelli-
gent Key is in the vehicle. The Intelligent Key indica-
tor light goes out when the ignition switch is turned
to the Acc position.
NOTE
•The Intelligent Key indicator light may start
flashing when the ignition knob is turned from
the “OFF” position to the ON position if the
control unit detects a low battery voltage.
•The Intelligent Key indicator light comes on
as confirmation flash for anti-hijack mode set-
ting procedure. See “Integrated keyfob/re-
mote control system” in the “3. Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section.
Intelligent Key warning light (red):
When the ignition knob is turned to the ON position,
the Intelligent Key warning light illuminates for a few
seconds and then goes off. This means the system
is operational.
NOTE
•If the Intelligent Key is taken outside of the
vehicle ID recognition zone through an
opened door (driver’s side door, passenger’s
side door, back door) while the ignition knobis in the Acc or ON position, the Intelligent
Key warning light starts flashing and the
buzzer sounds, warning the driver of the situ-
ation. The Intelligent Key warning light will
stop flashing as soon as the Intelligent Key is
placed again in the passenger’s compart-
ment.
•The Intelligent Key warning light comes on as
confirmation flash for convenience mode set-
ting procedure. See “Integrated keyfob/re-
mote control system” in the “3. Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section.
WARNING
If the Intelligent Key warning light comes on
steady, it may indicate a system malfunction, we
recommend you to contact a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop for repair.
See “Ignition knob (where fitted)” in the “5. Starting
and driving” section for further details.
Anti-lock Braking System
warning light
After turning the ignition key to the ON position, the
light will illuminate. The Anti-lock Braking System
warning light will turn off after approximately 1 sec-
ond if the system is operational.
If the light comes on while the engine is running, it
may indicate something is wrong with the anti-lock
portion of the braking system. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.Anti-lock Braking System:
The Anti-lock Braking System controls the wheels
so that they will not lock when braking abruptly or
when braking on a slippery road. This will prevent
difficult steering operation and swerving due to
locked wheels.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the anti-lock
function will cease but the ordinary brakes will con-
tinue to operate normally.
CAUTION
If the light comes on while you are driving, con-
tact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for
repair.
INDICATOR LIGHTS
Electronic Stability Programme
(ESP) OFF indicator light
(where fitted)
The light comes on when the Electronic Stability
Programme (ESP) OFF switch is pushed to the OFF
position. This indicates the Electronic Stability Pro-
gramme is not operating.
Push the Electronic Stability Programme OFF
switch again or restart the engine and the system
will operate normally. See “Electronic Stability Pro-
gramme (ESP) system (where fitted)” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.

lights, map lamps or room lamp will come on
again
Battery save function for external lights:
If the ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” position
but the external lights are accidentally left on, the
external lights will automatically be switched off as
soon as the driver’s door is opened.
It is possible to leave the external lights on perma-
nently by switching them back on using the head-
light switch while the ignition switch is still in theLOCK or “OFF” position. In this case, the light re-
minder chime will sound when the driver’s door is
opened.
Battery save function for interior light:
The interior light will automatically be switched off
after approximately 15 minutes if it has been acci-
dentally left on.
TURN SIGNAL SWITCH

seat heater system off.
CAUTION
•Do not use the seat heater system for a long
period of time when the engine is not running,
