Do not use the hazard warning flash-
ers while moving on the highway un-
less unusual circumstances force you
to drive so slowly that your vehicle
might become a hazard to other traf-
fic.

Turn signals do not work when the
hazard warning flasher lights are on.
The flasher will operate with the ignition switch in
any position.
To sound the horn, push the center pad area of
the steering wheel.
WARNING
Do not disassemble the horn. Doing so
could affect proper operation of the
supplemental front air bag system. Tam-
pering with the supplemental front air
bag system may result in serious per-
sonal injury.The seats are warmed by built-in heaters. The
switches are located on the center console.
1. Start the engine.
2. Select heat range.
1For high heat, push the
(High) side
of the switch.
2For low heat, push the

The heater is controlled by a thermostat,
automatically turning the heater on and off.
The indicator light will remain on as long as
the switch is on.
3. When the vehicle’s interior is warmed, or
before you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn
the switch to the OFF position
3.
An optional ventilated net seat has this built-in
heater only in the seat cushion part, not in the
seatback.
CAUTION

The battery could be discharged if
the seat heater is operated while the
engine is not running.

Do not use the seat heater for ex-
tended periods or when no one is
using the seat.

Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates heat, such as a blan-
ket, cushion, seat cover, etc. Other-
wise, the seat may become over-
heated.

Do not place anything hard or heavyon the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar object. This may result in
damage to the heater.

Any liquid spilled on the heated seat
should be removed immediately with
a dry cloth.

When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, benzine, thinner, or any
similar materials.

If any abnormalities are found or the
heated seat does not operate, turn
the switch off and have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer.
The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (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 depressed to the floor.
If maximum engine power is needed to free a
stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system, push the VDC OFF switch (located on
the lower side of the instrument panel). The
indicator light will come on.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
