Soft top indicator light
(Roadster models)
This light illuminates when the soft top is being
operated or it is stopped before reaching a full
open/close state. When the top is fully opened,
the light will turn off. When the top is fully closed,
the light will flash.
The soft top can be moved with the soft top
operating switch only under all of the following
conditions:
When the vehicle is stopped.
When the foot brake pedal is depressed.
When the ignition switch is ON.
CAUTION
Operate the soft top with the engine
running to prevent a discharged battery.
When the soft top is in motion, and any of the
above conditions are discontinued or the pas-
senger power seat switches (on the cushion or
the seatback) are operated, the top will stop
moving. Remove your hand from the operating
switch, and push it again under the above
conditions until the top is fully opened or closed.
The soft top indicator light will turn off when the
top open operation is completely finished. When
closing the top, the light, which is illuminated,
will begin to flash when the top close operation
is completely finished. Securely engage the top
to the vehicle by operating the top latch lever.
The light will turn off.
If the soft top indicator light flashes with the
ignition switch ON (whether the top is operated
or not, and when the top is engaged), it may
indicate the electric soft top control unit is not
functioning properly. Have your vehicle checked
by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

operation, see “Soft top” in the “3. Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section.

It is possible to lock/unlock all doors (including
the rear hatch/trunk lid), release the rear
hatch/trunk lid and activate the panic alarm by
using the keyfobfrom outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The keyfobcan operate at a distance of approxi-
mately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. (The
effective distance depends upon the conditions
around the vehicle.)
As many as 5 keyfobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the purchase
and use of additional keyfobs, contact a NISSAN
dealer.
The keyfobwill not function when:
the battery is discharged,
the distance between the vehicle and the
keyfobis over 33 ft (10 m).
The panic alarm and the rear hatch/trunk
lid release will not activate when the key is
in the ignition switch.
CAUTION
The following conditions or occurrences
will damage the keyfob.Do not allow the keyfob to become
wet.
Do not drop the keyfob.
Do not strike the keyfob sharply
against another object.
Do not place the keyfob for an ex-
tended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).
If a keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of that
keyfob. This will prevent the keyfob
from unauthorized use to unlock the
vehicle. For information regarding the
erasing procedure, please contact a
NISSAN dealer.

When performing any inspection or maintenance
work on your vehicle, always take care to prevent
serious accidental injury to yourself or damage to
the vehicle. The following are general precau-
tions which should be closely observed.
WARNING
Park the vehicle on a level surface,
apply the parking brake securely and
block the wheels to prevent the ve-
hicle from moving. For manual trans-
mission models, move the shift lever
to N(Neutral) position. For automatic
transmission models, move the se-
lector lever to P (Park).
Be sure the ignition key is in the OFF
or LOCK position when performing
any parts replacement or repairs.
Never connect or disconnect the bat-
tery or any transistorized component
while the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
Never leave the engine or automatic
transmission related component har-
nesses disconnected while the igni-tion switch is in the ONposition.
If you must work with the engine
running, keep your hands, clothing,
hair and tools away from moving
fans, belts and any other moving
parts.
It is advisable to secure or remove
any loose clothing and remove any
jewelry, such as rings, watches, etc.
before working on your vehicle.
Always wear eye protection when-
ever you work on your vehicle.
If you must run the engine in an
enclosed space such as a garage, be
sure there is proper ventilation for
exhaust gases to escape.
Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by a jack. If it is nec-
essary to work under the vehicle,
support it with safety stands.
Keep smoking materials, flame and
sparks away from the fuel tank and
battery.On gasoline engine models with the
multiport fuel injection (MFI) system,
the fuel filter or fuel lines should be
serviced by a NISSAN dealer because
the fuel lines are under high pressure
even when the engine is off.
CAUTION
Do not work under the hood while
the engine is hot. Turn the engine off
and wait until it cools down.
Avoid contact with used engine oil
and coolant. Improperly disposed en-
gine oil, engine coolant and/or other
vehicle fluids can damage the envi-
ronment. Always conform to local
regulations for disposal of vehicle
fluid.
This “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section
gives instructions regarding only those items
which are relatively easy for an owner to perform.
A genuine NISSAN Service Manual is also avail-
able. See “Owner’s Manual/Service Manual or-
