ECO mode NISSAN ALTIMA 2007 L32A / 4.G Owners Manual

cNISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a forward
facing child restraint in the front pas-
senger seat, move the passenger seat
to the rearmost position. Also, be sure
the front passenger air bag status light
is illuminated to indicate the passenger
air bag is OFF. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” later in this sec-
tion for details.
cThe three-point seat belt in your vehicle
is equipped with an automatic locking
mode retractor which must be used
when installing a child restraint.
cFailure to use the retractor’s locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The re-
straint could tip over or otherwise be
unsecured and cause injury to the child
in a sudden stop or collision.
cA child restraint with a top tether strap
should not be used in the front passen-
ger seat.
The instructions in this section apply to child
restraint installation using the vehicle seat belts in
the rear seat or the front passenger seat.
Front-facing
Follow these steps to install a front-facing child
restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear
seats or in the front passenger seat:
1.If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
front-facing direction only. Move the
seat to the rearmost position. Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and therefore
must not be used in the front seat.2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Al-
ways follow the child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions
The back of the child restraint should be secured
against the vehicle seatback. If necessary, adjust
or remove the head restraint to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. See “Head restraint adjust-
ment” in this section.
If the head restraint is removed, store it in a
secure place. Be sure to install the head restraint
when the child restraint is removed. If the seating
position does not have an adjustable head re-
straint and it is interfering with the proper child
restraint fit, try another seating position or a dif-
ferent child restraint.

you must install a booster seat in the front
passenger seat, move the passenger’s
seat to the rearmost position.
CAUTION
Do not use the lap/shoulder belt auto-
matic locking mode when using a booster
seat with the seat belts.
Follow these steps to install a booster seat in the
rear seat or in the front passenger seat:1.If you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, move the seat to the rear-
most position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only
place it in a front facing direction. Always
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s in-
structions.

restraints and booster seats be properly installed
in a rear seat. If this is not possible, the occupant
classification sensor is designed to operate as
described above to turn the front passenger air
bag OFF for specified child restraints as required
by the regulations. Failing to properly secure
child restraints and to use the automatic locking
mode (child restraint mode) may allow the re-
straint to tip or move in an accident or sudden
stop. This can also result in the passenger air bag
inflating in a crash instead of being OFF. See
“Child restraints” earlier in this section for proper
use and installation.
If the front passenger seat is not occupied the
passenger air bag is designed not to inflate in a
crash. However, heavy objects placed on the
seat could result in air bag inflation, because of
the object being detected by the occupant clas-
sification sensor. Other conditions could also
result in air bag inflation, such as if a child is
standing on the seat, or if two children are on the
seat, contrary to the instructions in this manual.
Always be sure that you and all vehicle occupants
are seated and restrained properly.
Using the passenger air bag status light, you can
monitor when the front passenger air bag is au-
tomatically turned OFF with the seat occupied.
The light will not illuminate when the front pas-
senger seat is unoccupied.If an adult occupant is in the seat but the passen-
ger air bag status light is illuminated (indicating
that the air bag is OFF) , it could be that the
person is a small adult, or is not sitting on the seat
properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the front seat,
the passenger air bag status light may or may not
be illuminated, depending on the size of the child
and the type of child restraint being used. If the air
bag status light is not illuminated (indicating that
the air bag might inflate in a crash) , it could be
that the child restraint or seat belt is not being
used properly. Make sure that the child restraint is
installed properly, the seat belt is used properly
and the occupant is positioned properly. If the air
bag status light is not illuminated, reposition the
occupant or child restraint in a rear seat.
If the passenger air bag status light will not illu-
minate even though you believe that the child
restraint, the seat belts and the occupant are
properly positioned, the system may be sensing
an unoccupied seat (in which case the air bag is
OFF) . Your NISSAN dealer can check that the
system is OFF by using a special tool. However,
until you have confirmed with your dealer that
your air bag is working properly, reposition the
occupant or child restraint in a rear seat.
The air bag system and passenger air bag status
light will take a few seconds to register a changein the passenger seat status. However, if the seat
becomes unoccupied, the air bag status light will
remain off.
If a malfunction occurs in the front passenger air
bag system, the supplemental air bag warning
light
, located in the meter and gauges area
in the center of the instrument panel, will blink.
Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
Other supplemental front air bag precau-
tions
WARNING
cDo not place any objects on the steer-
ing wheel pad or on the instrument
panel. Also, do not place any objects
between any occupant and the steering
wheel or instrument panel. Such ob-
jects may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if the supplemen-
tal front air bag inflates.

The HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver provides a
convenient way to consolidate the functions of up
to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver:
cWill operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and se-
curity systems.
cIs powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLinkTwill retain all program-
ming.
Once the HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original trans-
mitter for future programming procedures
(Example: new vehicle purchases) . Upon
sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes. For
additional information refer to “Program-
ming HomeLinkT” later in this section.WARNING
cDo not use the HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982) . A ga-
rage door opener which cannot detect
an object in the path of a closing garage
door and then automatically stop and
reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
cDuring the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range) . Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
cYour vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLinkT
Universal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINKT
1. To begin, press and hold the two outer
HomeLinkTbuttons (to clear the memory)
until the indicator light
s1blinks (after 20
seconds) . Release both buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held transmitter
1 - 3 inches (26 - 76 mm) away from the
HomeLinkTsurface.

3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and
hold both the HomeLinkTbutton you want to
program and the hand-held transmitter but-
ton.
DO NOT release the buttons until step 4 has
been completed.4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator
light on the HomeLinkTflashes, changing
from a “slow blink” to a “rapidly flashing
blink”. This could take up to 90 seconds.
When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. The rapidly flash-
ing light indicates successful programming.
To activate the garage door or other pro-
grammed device, press and hold the pro-
grammed HomeLinkTbutton — releasing
when the device begins to activate.
5. If the indicator light on the HomeLinkTblinks
rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns solid,
HomeLinkThas picked up a “rolling code”
garage door opener signal. You will need to
proceed with the next steps to train the
HomeLinkTto complete the programming
which may require a ladder and another per-
son for convenience.
6. Press and release the “smart” or “learn” pro-
gram button located on the garage door
opener’s motor to activate the “training
mode”. This button is usually located near
the antenna wire that hangs down from the
motor. If the wire originates from under a
light lens, you will need to remove the lens to
access the program button.NOTE:
Once you have pressed and released the
program button on the garage door open-
er’s motor and the “training light” is lit, you
have 30 seconds in which to perform step 7.
Use the help of a second person for conve-
nience to assist when performing this step.
7. Within 30 seconds of pressing and releas-
ing the garage door opener program button,
quickly and firmly press and release the
HomeLinkTbutton you’ve just programmed.
Press and release the HomeLinkTbutton up
to 3 times to complete the training.
8. Your HomeLinkTbutton should now be pro-
grammed. (To program the remaining
HomeLinkTbuttons for additional door or
gate openers, follow steps 2-8 only.)
NOTE:
Do not repeat step 1 unless you want to
“clear” all previously programmed
HomeLinkTbuttons.
If you have any questions or are having difficulty
programming your HomeLinkTbuttons, refer to
the HomeLinkTweb site at: www.homelink.com
or call 1-800-355-3515.
