PRECAUTIONS ON BOOSTER
SEATS
WARNING
The information in this section is pro-
vided only for those owners who
have received permission to install
an air bag ON/OFF switch and the
switch has been installed. See “Ob-
taining an air bag ON/OFF switch”
earlier in this manual. Never let chil-
dren 12 or under ride in this vehicle
unless an air bag ON/OFF switch is
installed and it is being properly
used.
Infants and small children should al-
ways be placed in an appropriate
child restraint while riding in the ve-
hicle. Failure to use a child restraint
or booster seat can result in serious
injury or death.
Infants and small children should
never be carried on your lap. It is not
possible for even the strongest adult
to resist the forces of a severe acci-

dent. The child could be crushed be-
tween the adult and parts of the ve-
hicle. Also, do not put the same seat
belt around both your child and your-
self.
Never install a booster seat in the
front seat unless an air bag ON/OFF
switch has been installed and the air
bag has been turned OFF. An inflat-
ing supplemental air bag could seri-
ously injure or kill your child.
A booster seat must only be installed
in a seating position that has a
lap/shoulder belt. Failure to use a
three-point type seat belt with a
booster seat can result in a serious
injury in sudden stop or collision.
An improperly installed booster seat
could lead to serious injury or death
in an accident.
WARNING
Do not use towels, books, pillows or
other items in place of a booster seat.
Items such as these may move during
normal driving or a collision and result
in serious injury or death. Booster seats
are designed to be used with a
lap/shoulder belt. Booster seats are de-
signed to properly route the lap and
shoulder portions of the seat belt over
the strongest portions of a child’s bodyto provide the maximum protection dur-
ing a collision.
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.

upright as possible.
After placing the child in the booster
seat and fastening the seat belt,
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 abdomen.
Do not put the shoulder belt behind
the child or under the child’s arm. If
you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, see “Booster seat instal-
lation on front passenger seat” later
in this section.
When your booster seat is not in use,
keep it secured with a seat belt to
prevent it from being thrown around
in case of a sudden stop or accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a booster seat left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot.
Check the seating surface and bucklesbefore placing your child in the booster
seat.
BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION
ON FRONT PASSENGER SEAT
WARNING
Never install a booster seat in the
front passenger seat unless an air
bag ON/OFF switch has been in-
stalled and the air bag has been
turned OFF. Supplemental air bags
inflate with great force. A child could
be struck by the supplemental air bag

in a crash and could seriously injure
or kill your child.
If you must install a booster seat in the front seat,
follow these steps:
1. Turn the air bag ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position.
2. Move the seat to the rearmost position.
3. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only
place it in a front facing direction. Always
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s in-
structions.
4. The booster seat should be positioned on the
vehicle seat so that it is stable. If necessary,
adjust or remove the head restraint to obtain
the correct booster seat fit. See “Head re-
straint adjustment” earlier in this section. If
the head restraint is removed, store it in a
secure place. Be sure to install the head
restraint when the booster seat is removed. If
the seating position does not have an adjust-
able head restraint and it is interfering with
the proper booster seat fit, try a different
booster seat.
5. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low
and snug on the child’s hips. Be sure to
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s in-structions for adjusting the belt routing.
6. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt
toward the retractor to take up extra slack. Be
sure the shoulder belt is positioned across
the top, middle portion of the child’s shoul-
der. Be sure to follow the booster seat manu-
facturer’s instructions for adjusting the belt
routing.
7. Follow the warnings, cautions and instruc-
tions for properly fastening a seat belt shown
in the “Three-point type seat belt with retrac-
tor” earlier in this section.
PRECAUTIONS ON
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEMThis Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-
tion contains important information concerning
the driver and passenger front impact supple-
mental air bags, front seat side-impact supple-
mental air bags, curtain side-impact air bags and
front seat pre-tensioner seat belts.
Supplemental front-impact air bag system:
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the face and chest of the driver and front
passenger in certain frontal collisions.
Supplemental side-impact air bag system
(if so equipped):This system can help cushion
the impact force to the chest area of the driver
and front passenger in certain side impact colli-
sions. The front seat side-impact supplemental
air bags are designed to inflate on the side
where the vehicle is impacted.
Supplemental curtain side-impact air bag
system (if so equipped for Coupe models):
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the head of occupants in certain side impact
collisions. The curtain side-impact air bags are
designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle
is impacted.

WARNING
Never let children 12 or under ride in
this vehicle. Do not attempt to hold
them in your lap or arms. Some ex-
amples of dangerous riding positions
are shown in the previous illustra-
tions.
Children may be severely injured or
killed when the supplemental front
air bags or supplemental side and
curtain side-impact air bags (if so
equipped) inflate.
Also, never install a child restraint in
the front seat. An inflating supple-
mental front air bag could seriously
injure or kill your child.
For information about installing an
air bag ON/OFF switch in your ve-
hicle so children can be transported,
see “Obtaining an air bag ON/OFF
switch” earlier in this section.
WARNING
Supplemental side air bag and curtain
side-impact air bag (if so equipped):
The supplemental side air bag and
curtain side-impact air bag ordinarily
will not inflate in the event of a fron-
tal impact, rear impact, rollover or
lower severity side collision. Always
wear your seat belts to help reduce
the risk or severity of injury in various
kinds of accidents.

VOLT METERWhen the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, the volt meter indicates the battery
voltage; while the engine is running, it indicates
the alternator voltage of 11 - 15 volts (normal
range
A). However, while cranking the engine,
the volts drop below the normal range.
If the needle is not in the normal range
A
while
the engine is running, it may indicate that the
charging system is not functioning properly.
Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
TRIP COMPUTERThe display of the trip computer is situated in the
triple meter. When the ignition switch is turned
to ON, the display scrolls all the modes of the
trip computer and then shows the mode chosen
before the ignition switch is turned OFF.

M/T models)→Speed indicator
Speed indicator (mph or km/h)The vehicle speed is displayed in MPH or km/h
while driving.
The speed indicator in the trip computer
indicates the reference speed. The actual
speed indicated by the speedometer (com-
bination meter) may differ from the one in
the trip computer.Outside air temperature
(ICY—°For°C)The outside air temperature is displayed in °F or
°C in the range of −22 to 131°F (−30 to 55°C).
