Other supplemental front-impact air
bag precautions
WARNING
∙ Do not place any objects on the steer-
ing wheel pad or on the instrument
panel. Also, do not place any objects
between any occupant and the steer-
ing wheel or instrument panel. Such
objects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the front air
bags inflate.
∙ Immediately af ter inflation, several front 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 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,
suspension system or front end struc-
ture. This could affect proper opera-
tion of the front air bag system.
∙ Tampering with the front air bag sys- tem may result in serious personal in-
jury. Tampering includes changes to
the steering wheel and the instru-
ment panel assembly by placing ma-
terial over the steering wheel pad and
above the instrument panel or by in-
stalling additional trim material
around the air bag system.
∙ Removing or modif ying the front pas- senger seat may affect the function of
the air bag system and result in seri-
ous personal injury.

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(s) system. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Supplemental
air bag warning light” in this section. If the
operation of the supplemental air bag
warning light indicates there is a malfunc-
tion, have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
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.

dates instantly when driving.
Average fuel consumption (mpg
or l (liter)/100km)
The average fuel consumption mode
shows the average fuel consumption since
the last reset. Resetting is done by pressing
the trip or change button for more than
approximately 1 second. The display is up-
dated every 30 seconds. At about the first
1/3 mi (500 m) af ter a reset, the display

may be affected by road or engine heat,
wind directions and other driving condi-
tions. The display may differ from the ac-
tual ambient temperature or the tempera-
ture displayed on various signs or
billboards.
SERVICE INTERVAL REMINDER (if
so equipped)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, a wrench symbol and the dis-
tance to oil change information will illumi-

information mode that was displayed be-
fore the ignition switch was placed in the
ACC, OFF or LOCK position.
The oil level display status provides specific
information regarding your approximate
engine oil level.
If the oil level is sufficient, “Oil Good” is dis-
played for approximately 10 seconds. If the
oil level is low, “Oil Lo” blinks for approxi-
mately 30 seconds in order to draw your
attention to necessary action.
Quickly push and release the trip odometer
reset switch on the instrument panel lo-
cated near the speedometer during the
“Oil Good” or “Oil Lo” mode to display an
approximate oil level indication.

Page 96 of 878
In case of low engine oil level, refer to “En-
gine oil” in the “Do-it-yourself ” section for
the proper engine oil refilling procedure.
Oil change schedule set up (if so
equipped)
It is possible to adjust the interval distance
to oil change by pushing the trip odometer
reset switch on the instrument panel lo-
cated near the speedometer for 3 seconds
while the wrench symbol and distance to
oil change are displayed. The symbol and
distance display will start flashing and the
display shows the current interval. Push
the switch to increase the interval distance.
Each step increases the interval distance
by 500 mi (1,000 km). The interval distance
can be set up to 18,000 mi (30,000 km) af ter
which the display returns to zero.
If no further action is made, the display
returns to oil display status indication and
the new interval is set.
If the interval distance is set to 0, the display
will skip the distance to oil change informa-
tion and wrench symbol display mode and
will directly display the oil display status (“Oil
Good” or “Oil Lo”). In order to return to the
distance to oil change information and
wrench symbol display mode, push the trip
computer change button on the instru-ment panel located near the speedometer
for approximately 3 seconds af ter the igni-
tion switch has been turned to the ON po-
sition, and adjust the distance to oil change
schedule as previously described.
For additional information, refer to “Stan-
dard maintenance” in the “Maintenance
and schedules” section of this manual.
CAUTION
∙ The oil level should be checked regu-
larly. Operating with insufficient
amount of oil level can damage the
engine and such damage is not cov-
ered by the warranty.
∙ NISSAN recommends checking the oil level every 3,000 mi (5,000 km).

The vehicle should be driven with the VDC
system on for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is de-
pressed to the floor. If maximum engine
power is needed to free a stuck vehicle,
turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator will come
