When pretensioner(s) activate, smoke is re-
leased and a loud noise may be heard. This
smoke is not harmful and does not indi-
cate a fire. Care should be taken not to
inhale it, as it may cause irritation and
choking. Those with a history of a breath-
ing condition should get fresh air promptly.
Af ter the pretensioner(s’) activation, load
limiters allow the seat belt to release web-
bing (if necessary) to reduce forces against
the chest.
The supplemental air bag warning
light
is used to indicate malfunctions
in the pretensioner system. For additional
information, refer to "Supplemental air bag
warning light" in this section. If the opera-
tion of the supplemental air bag warning
light indicates there is a malfunction, have
the system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the preten-
sioner system and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this Owner’s
Manual.

on the sun visors)
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING
LABELS
Warning labels about the supplemental
front-impact air bag system are placed in
the vehicle as shown in the illustration.
WARNING
Do not use a rear-facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an air bag in
front of it. If the air bag deploys, it may
cause serious injury or death.
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING
LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light,
displaying
in the instrument panel,
monitors the circuits for the air bag sys-
tems, pretensioner(s) and all related wiring.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates for about 7 seconds and
then turns off. This means the system is
operational.

FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during brak-
ing, turning, acceleration, or going up or
down hills.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) af-
ter the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
The low fuel warning message shows in
the vehicle information display when the
amount of fuel in the tank is getting low. Refill the fuel tank before the gauge reg-
isters 0 (Empty).
The
indicates that the fuel-filler
door is located on the driver’s side of the
vehicle.
CAUTION
∙ If the vehicle runs out of fuel, theMalfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may
come on. Refuel as soon as possible.
Af ter a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off. If the light remains on
af ter a few driving trips, have the ve-
hicle inspected. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
∙ For additional information, refer to “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in
this section.
DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE)
Displays the estimated distance the ve-
hicle can be driven before refueling. The
value is calculated based on recent fuel
economy, the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank, and the actual fuel consump-
tion. Changes in driving patterns or conditions
can cause the DTE value to vary. As a result,
the value displayed may differ from the ac-
tual distance that can be driven.
DTE display will change to “---” when the
fuel level in the tank is getting low, prior to
the fuel gauge reaching 0 (Empty).
NOTE:
∙ The DTE value af ter refill is estimated
based on recent fuel economy and
amount of fuel added.
∙ If a small amount of fuel is added, or
the ignition is on during refueling, the
display may not be updated.
∙ Conditions that affect the fuel
economy will also affect the esti-
mated DTE value (city/highway driv-
ing, idle time, remote start time, ter-
rain, seasonal weather, added vehicle
weight, added deflectors, roof racks,
etc.).

VARIABLE COMPRESSION TURBO
(if so equipped)
Your engine is equipped with a variable
compression ratio system called “Variable
Compression Turbo”. This system can vary
the engine compression ratio continu-
ously.
According to driving conditions, the system
applies optimum compression ratio auto-
matically to achieve both high output and
high fuel economy efficiency.This is not a physical gauge. It is a display
option in the vehicle information display
that can be selected. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Vehicle information dis-
play” in this section.
1Compression ratio status display
Displays the status of compression ra-
tio controlled by Variable Compression
Turbo. The lowest compression ratio
(8:1) and the highest (14:1) are displayed
as “Power” and ”ECO” respectively.
2Turbo charger boost pressure gauge
Displays the turbo charger boost pres-
sure.
NOTE:
Under some conditions, the compres-
sion ratio may not change. This is not a
malfunction of the system.
CAUTION
If the Variable Compression Turbo be-
comes faulty, the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) may come on. For additional
information, refer to “Malfunction Indi-
cator Light (MIL)” in this section.

between the speedometer and tachom-
eter. For additional information, refer to “Ve-
hicle information display” in this section.
WARNING LIGHTS
For additional information on warnings
and indicators, refer to “Vehicle information
display” in this section.
orAnti-lock BrakingSystem (ABS)
warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the ABS warning light illuminates
and then turns off. This indicates the ABS is
operational.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while
the engine is running or while driving, it
may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system
then operates normally but without anti-
lock assistance. For additional information,
refer to “Brake system” in the “Starting and
driving” section of this manual.
Automatic EmergencyBraking (AEB) system
warning light (if so
equipped)
This light comes on when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. It turns
off af ter the vehicle is started.
This light illuminates when the AEB system
is set to OFF on the meter display.
If the light illuminates when the AEB sys-
tem is on, it may indicate that the system is
unavailable. For additional information, re-
fer to “Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)”
and “Intelligent Forward Collision Warning
(I-FCW)” in the “Starting and driving” section
of this manual.

Automatic EmergencyBraking (AEB) with
Pedestrian Detection
system warning light (if so
equipped)
This light comes on when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. It turns
off af ter the engine is started.
This light illuminates when the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system is set to OFF
in the vehicle information display.
If the light illuminates when the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system is on, it may
indicate that the system is unavailable. For
additional information, refer to “Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB) with Pedestrian
Detection” and “Intelligent Forward Colli-
sion Warning (I-FCW)” in the “Starting and
driving” section of this manual.
orBrake warning
light
This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems. Parking brake indicator (if so equipped)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light comes on when the park-
ing brake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light warns of a low brake fluid
level. If the light comes on while the engine
is running with the parking brake not ap-
plied, stop the vehicle and perform the fol-
lowing:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as necessary. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Brake fluid” in the “Do-
it-yourself ” section of this manual.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
WARNING
∙ Your brake system may not be work-ing properly if the warning light is on.
Driving could be dangerous. If you
judge it to be safe, drive carefully to
the nearest service station for repairs.
Otherwise, have your vehicle towed
because driving it could be
dangerous.
∙ Pressing the brake pedal with the en- gine stopped and/or a low brake fluid
level may increase your stopping dis-
tance and braking will require greater
pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
∙ If the brake fluid level is below the MINIMUM or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
Charge warning light
If this light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the charging sys-
tem is not functioning properly. Turn the
engine off and check the generator belt. If
the belt is loose, broken, or missing, or if the
light remains on, have the system checked.
