cDo not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electric-
ity can cause an explosion of flam-
mable liquid, vapor or gas in any
vehicle or trailer. To reduce the risk
of serious injury or death when fill-
ing portable fuel containers:
Ð Always the place container on the
ground when filling.
Ð Do not use electronic devices
while filling.
Ð Keep the pump nozzle in contact
with the container while you are
filling it.
Ð Use only approved portable fuel
containers for flammable liquid.
cNever pour fuel into the throttle body
to attempt to start your vehicle.
CAUTION
cIf fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage.
cTighten until the fuel filler cap clicks.
Failure to tighten the fuel filler capproperly may cause the
mal-
function indicator lamp (MIL) to illu-
minate. If the
lamp illuminates
because the fuel filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap
and continue to drive the vehicle.
The
lamp should turn off after
a few driving trips. If thelamp
does not turn off after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized NISSAN dealer.
cFor additional information, see the
ªMalfunction indicator lamp (MIL)''
in the ªInstrument and controlsº
section earlier in this manual.

TELESCOPIC OPERATION
Push the lever down and adjust the steering
wheel forward or backward to the desired
position.
Pull the lock lever up firmly to lock the
steering wheel in place.
WARNING
Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for

force. If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of po-
sition in any way, you are at greater risk
of injury or death in a crash. You may
also receive serious 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. Al-
ways use the seat belts.
