trolled seats is automatically controlled at an
optimum temperature. However, adjust the
temperature using the control knob if the seats
are too hot or cold.
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the control knob

WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use
the climate controlled seat if you or the
occupants cannot monitor seat tem-
peratures or have an inability to feel
pain in those body parts in contact with
the seat. Use of the climate controlled
seats by such people could result in
serious injury.
CAUTION
. Do not place objects in front of the
intake inlets located behind and
under the front seat. Doing so could cause improper operation or inter-
ruption of the operation.
. The battery could run down if the
climate controlled seat is operated
while the engine is not running.
. Do not use the climate controlled
seat for extended periods or when
no one is using the seat.
. Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates heat, such as a
blanket, cushion, seat cover, etc.
Otherwise, the seat may become
overheated.
. Do not place anything hard or heavy
on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar object. This may result in
damage to the climate controlled
seat.
. Any liquid spilled on the seat should
be removed immediately with a dry
cloth.
. The climate controlled seat has air
filters. Do not operate the climate
controlled seat without the air fil-
ters. This may result in damage to
the system.
. When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, thinner, or any similar materials.
. If any malfunctions are found or the
climate controlled seat does not
operate, turn the switch off and
have the system checked by a

Technical and consumer information9-3

Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the
ground is sometimes called flat towing. This
method is sometimes used when towing a
vehicle behind a recreational vehicle, such as a
motor home.
CAUTION
.Failure to follow these guidelines
can result in severe transmission
damage.
. Whenever flat towing your vehicle,
always tow forward, never back-
ward.
. DO NOT tow any automatic trans-
mission vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground (flat towing) . Doing
so WILL DAMAGE internal transmis-
sion parts due to lack of transmis-
sion lubrication.
. For emergency towing procedures
refer to “Towing recommended by
NISSAN (except for NISMO mod-
els)” (P.6-19) of this manual.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
To tow a vehicle equipped with an automatic
transmission, an appropriate vehicle dolly MUST
be placed under the towed vehicle’s drive
wheels. Always follow the dolly manufacturer’s
recommendations when using their product.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION
. Always tow with the manual transmission in
Neutral.
. Your vehicle speed should never exceed 70
MPH (112 km/h) when flat towing your
vehicle.
. After towing 500 miles, start and idle the
engine with the transmission in Neutral for
two minutes. Failure to idle the engine after
every 500 miles of towing may cause
damage to the transmission’s internal parts. DOT (Department Of Transportation) Quality
Grades: All passenger car tires must conform to
federal safety requirements in addition to these
grades.
Quality grades can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and
maximum section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature ATREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1
1/2) times as well on the government course as
a tire graded 100. The relative performance of
tires depends upon actual conditions of their
use, however, and may depart significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road char-
acteristics and climate.
TRACTION AA, A, B AND C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the
tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on spe-
cified government test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
