BEFORE OPERATING THE TOP
The soft top of this vehicle is electrically
operated. You can fully open or close the
top only by pressing the operating switch
located on the center console.
The soft top operating switch must be
operated under all of the following con- ditions:
.
When the trunk is closed.
. When the vehicle is stopped.
. When the engine is running.
. When the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
. When the shift lever is in a position
other than the R (Reverse) position.CAUTION
Always keep the engine running
while operating the soft top. The
top will also operate when the igni- tion switch is in the ON position, but
run the engine to prevent a dis-
charged battery.
Be sure to follow the operating instruc-
tions, and all the warnings and cautions in
this section. Improper operation of the
top could cause a system malfunction,
damage, or deterioration of the top
material and related parts.
WARNING
. Park the vehicle in a safe and
level place and apply the parking
brake.
. Make sure the area is clear of
obstacles and there is enough
clearance over the top (for exam-
ple, in a garage or a covered
area). More than approximately
6.6 ft (2 m) from the ground is
required to open or close the top
safely. Otherwise, the top may
damage any objects above it
while moving. The top operating
system could also be damaged.
. Do not operate the top in a strong
wind. It could be blown by the
wind, striking someone or da-
mage the top.
SOFT TOP (Roadster models)

3-24Pre-driving checks and adjustments
.Do not place anything in the top
storage area. The top will not fit
there properly, and this could
damage the top and/or the vehi-
cle body.
. Do not sit or place excessive
weight on the top and the sto-
rage lid, especially when the top
is being operated. The top may be
damaged.
. Do not drive the vehicle with the
top partially opened. Always
make sure the top is either fully
opened or closed before driving.
. Secure items so that they cannot
be blown from the vehicle while
driving with the top open.
. Do not operate the top manually
except for emergency cases.
Manual operation may damage
the top.
. Be sure to fully open or fully close
the top. Do not release the switch
half way through the roof open-
ing or closing process. If the top is
only partially opened, significant
damage to the top could occur.
Make sure the trunk lid is securely closed
before operating the top.
SPA2706
WHEN OPERATING THE TOP
WARNING
Keep hands and other parts of the
body away from moving parts such
as the top, storage lid, side flap
and power windows.
CAUTION
Keep all parts of the top linkage clear
of obstructions, or the top latch may
not be securely locked. NOTE:
.
In case of low battery or low tem-
perature, the top may temporarily
stop moving during the operation.
This functions to protect the top
control mechanism, and it is not a
malfunction.
. If the top is opened and closed
repeatedly in a short period of time
or the top operation is stopped while
opening or closing, the top opera-
tion may be automatically stopped
to protect the system. Wait for ap-
proximately 5 minutes before oper-
ating the top again.

met.
.vehicle is stopped
. ignition switch is ON (Run the engine
when operating the top.)
. the trunk is closed
. the shift lever is in a position other
than the R (Reverse) position
If the top still does not move under the
above conditions or has any system
malfunction, it is recommended you visit
a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.
When you must close the top by yourself,
in the event of emergency or when an
immediate dealer service is not available,
close the top manually according to the
procedures shown in this section.
When closing the soft top manually:

FUEL-FILLER CAP
WARNING
.Gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive under cer-
tain conditions. You could be
burned or seriously injured if it is
misused or mishandled. Always
stop engine and do not smoke or
allow open flames or sparks near
the vehicle when refueling.
. Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Contin-
ued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.
. Use only an original equipment
type fuel-filler cap as a replace-
ment. It has a built-in safety valve
needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission
control system. An incorrect cap
can result in a serious malfunc-
tion and possible injury. It could
also cause the malfunction indi-
cator light to come on. .
Never pour fuel into the throttle
body to attempt to start your
vehicle.
. Do not fill a portable fuel contain-
er in the vehicle or trailer. Static
electricity can cause an explosion
of flammable liquid, vapor or gas
in any vehicle or trailer. To reduce
the risk of serious injury or death
when filling portable fuel contain-
ers:
— Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices when filling.
— Keep the pump nozzle in con- tact with the container while
you are filling it.
— Use only approved portable fuel containers for flammable
liquid.
CAUTION
. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle
body, flush it away with water to
avoid paint damage. .
Insert the cap straight into the
fuel-filler tube, then tighten until
the fuel-filler cap clicks. Failure to
tighten the fuel-filler cap properly
may cause the
malfunction
indicator light (MIL) to illuminate.
If the
light illuminates be-
cause the fuel-filler cap is loose
or missing, tighten or install the
cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The
light should turn
off after a few driving trips. If the
light does not turn off after a
few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
. The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning will
appear if the fuel-filler cap is not
properly tightened. It may take a
few driving trips for the message
to be displayed. Failure to tighten
the fuel-filler cap properly after
the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning
appears may cause the
Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) to
illuminate.

WARNING
.Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose con-
trol of your vehicle and cause an
accident.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel
any closer to you than is neces-
sary for proper steering opera-
tion and comfort. The driver’s air
bag inflates with great force. If
you are unrestrained, leaning for-
ward, sitting sideways or out of
position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive ser-
ious or fatal injuries from the air
bag if you are up against it when
it inflates. Always sit back against
the seatback and as far away as
practical from the steering wheel.
Always use the seat belts.

TILT STEERING SUN VISORS

Automatic anti-glare type
The inside mirror is designed so that it
automatically changes reflection accord-
ing to the intensity of the headlights of
the following vehicle.
The anti-glare system will be automati-
cally turned on when the ignition switch is
pushed to the ON position.
When the anti-glare system is turned on,
the indicator light
will illuminate and
excessive glare from the headlights of the
vehicle behind you will be reduced.
While the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position, the automatic anti-glare func-
tion does not operate.
Type A:
Push the
switchfor 3 seconds to
make the inside mirror operate normally
and the indicator light will turn off. Push
the
switchagain for 3 seconds to
turn the system on.
When the shift lever is moved into the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor display
shows the view to the rear of the vehicle.
(See “RearView monitor (mirror display
type)” (P.4-17).)
Do not hang any objects on the mirror
or apply glass cleaner. Doing so will
reduce the sensitivity of the sensor
,
resulting in improper operation. Type B:
Push the
*switch
to make the inside
mirror operate normally. The indicator
light will turn off. Push the I switch
to
turn the system on.
When the shift lever is moved into the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor display
shows the view to the rear of the vehicle.
(See “RearView monitor (mirror display
type)” (P.4-17).)
Do not allow any object to cover the
sensors
or apply glass cleaner on
them. Doing so will reduce the sensitiv-
ity of the sensor, resulting in improper
operation.
For the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
operation, see “HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver” (P.2-54).
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
WARNING
Objects viewed in the outside mirror
on the passenger side are closer
than they appear. Be careful when
moving to the right. Using only this
mirror could cause an accident. Use
the inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge distances
to other objects.
