Raise
To raise the head restraint/headrest, pull it up.
Make sure the head restraint/headrest is posi-
tioned so the lock knob is engaged in the notch
before riding in that designated seating position.
SSS1036
Lower
To lower, push and hold the lock knob and push
the head restraint/headrest down.
Make sure the head restraint/headrest is posi-
tioned so the lock knob is engaged in the notch
before riding in that designated seating position.
SSS0508
FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-
STRAINT
The Active Head Restraint moves forward
utilizing the force that the seatback receives
from the occupant in a rear-end collision. The
movement of the head restraint helps support
the occupant’s head by reducing its backward
movement and helping absorb some of the
forces that may lead to whiplash-type injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for colli-
sions at low to medium speeds in which it is said
that whiplash injury occurs most.
Active Head Restraints operate only in certain
rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head
restraints return to their original position.

If any light does not come on or operates in a
way other than described, it may indicate a
burned-out bulb and/or a system malfunction. It
is recommended you have the system checked
by a NISSAN dealer.
Some indicators and warnings are also dis-
played on the vehicle information display be-
tween the speedometer and tachometer. (See
“Vehicle information display” (P.2-20) .)
WARNING LIGHTS
orAnti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Anti-lock Braking System (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
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 assis-
tance. (See “Brake system” (P.5-136) .)
Automatic Transmission (AT) check
warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light comes on for 2 seconds. If the
light comes on at any other time, it may indicate
the transmission is not functioning properly. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer to
check and repair the transmission.
Automatic Transmission (AT) oil
temperature warning light
This light illuminates when the Automatic Trans-
mission (AT) oil temperature is too high. If the
light illuminates while driving, reduce the vehicle
speed as soon as safely possible until the light
turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when the
AT oil temperature warning light is on
may damage the AT.
Automatic Transmission (AT) park
warning light (4WD models)
This light indicates that the Automatic Transmis-
sion (AT) parking function is not engaged. If the
transfer control is not secured in any driving
position while the AT shift lever is in the “P”
(Park) position, the transmission will disengage
and the wheels will not lock.
If the AT park warning light illuminates
with the shift lever in the P (Park) position,

Blind Spot Warning (BSW)/Blind
Spot Intervention (BSI) system warning
light (orange; if so equipped)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the indicator light will first illuminate in
orange and turn green before turning off. This
indicates that the Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
and Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) systems are
operational.
If the light comes on in orange and remains on, it
may indicate that the BSW and BSI systems are
not functioning properly. Although the vehicle is
still driveable, have the systems checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service. See “Blind Spot Warning (BSW)” (P.5-
33) and “Blind Spot Intervention
Š(BSI)” (P.5-
43) .
orBrake warning light
This light functions for both the parking brake
and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator:
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the light comes on when the parking brake is
applied.
Low brake fluid warning light:
When the ignition switch is 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 applied, stop the vehicle
and perform the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. If brake fluid is low, add fluid and have the system checked.
It is recommended you have this service
performed by a NISSAN dealer. (See “Brake
fluid” (P.8-9).)
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked. It is recommended
you have this service performed by a
NISSAN dealer.
Low hydraulic pressure warning indicator:
If the brake warning light illuminates when the
engine is running, or while driving with the
parking brake is released, check the brake fluid
level. If the brake fluid level is sufficient, it may indicate low hydraulic pressure in the brake
booster. It is recommended that you have the
brake system checked by a NISSAN dealer
promptly.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator:
When the parking brake is released and the
brake fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake
warning light and the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminate, it may indicate
the ABS is not functioning properly. Have the
brake system checked, and if necessary re-
paired. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. (See “Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) warning light” (P.2-11) .)
WARNING
.
Your brake system may not be
working properly if the warning light

may cause the ICC system to decelerate or
accelerate the vehicle. The radar sensor
may detect these objects when the vehicle
is driven on winding roads, narrow roads,
hilly roads or when entering or exiting a curve. In these cases you will have to
manually control the proper distance
ahead of your vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving
position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condition
(for example, if a vehicle is being driven with
some damage) .
