FRONT SEATS
Front power seat adjustment
Operating tips:
.The power seat motor has an auto-reset
overload protection circuit. If the motor
stops during operation, wait 30 seconds,
then reactivate the switch.
. Do not operate the power seat switch for a
long period of time when the engine is off.
This will discharge the battery.
See “Automatic drive positioner” (P.3-33) for the
seat position memory function.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be
sure not to contact any moving parts to
avoid possible injuries and/or da-
mages.
SSS1051
Forward and backward:
Moving the switch
*1forward or backward will
slide the seat forward or backward to the
desired position.
Reclining:
Move the recline switch
*2backward until the
desired angle is obtained. To bring the seatback
forward again, move the switch
*2forward.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes for
added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P.1-18) .) Also, the seatback can be reclined to
allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is stopped and the transmission is in the P (Park)
position.

can be dangerous. The shoulder belt
will not be against your body. In an
accident, you could be thrown into it
and receive neck or other serious
injuries. You could also slide under
the lap belt and receive serious
internal injuries.
. For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit
well back and upright in the seat
with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly. See
“Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P.1-18) .

*1located on the passenger side of the cargo
room. The corresponding seatback (R: right
side, L: left side) will be folded down auto-
matically.
Push and hold the rear side of the switch
*2. The seatback will be returned automatically. The
seatback will rise up while holding the switch.
NOTE:
Operating the power folding seats can
discharge the vehicle battery if the engine
is not running.
CAUTION
When operating the rear power seat-
back return, make sure that the vehicle
is stopped and the transmission is in
the P (Park) position.
WARNING
.
Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seat when
it is in the fold-down position. Use
of these areas by passengers with-
out proper restraints could result in
serious injury in an accident or
sudden stop.
. When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely

burned-out bulb and/or a system malfunction. It
is recommended you have the system checked
by a NISSAN dealer.
Some indicators and warnings are also dis-
played on the vehicle information display be-
tween the speedometer and tachometer. (See
“Vehicle information display” (P.2-20) .)
WARNING LIGHTS
orAnti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
light illuminates and then turns off. This indicates
the ABS is operational.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while the
engine is running, or while driving, it may
indicate the ABS is not functioning properly.
Have the system checked. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock assis-
tance. (See “Brake system” (P.5-136) .)
Automatic Transmission (AT) check
warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light comes on for 2 seconds. If the
light comes on at any other time, it may indicate
the transmission is not functioning properly. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer to
check and repair the transmission.
Automatic Transmission (AT) oil
temperature warning light
This light illuminates when the Automatic Trans-
mission (AT) oil temperature is too high. If the
light illuminates while driving, reduce the vehicle
speed as soon as safely possible until the light
turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when the
AT oil temperature warning light is on
may damage the AT.
Automatic Transmission (AT) park

the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) warning
light illuminates and then turns off.
The light will blink when the VDC system or the
traction control system is operating, thus alerting
the driver that the vehicle is nearing its traction
limits. The road surface may be slippery.
When the VDC warning light illuminates when
the VDC system is turned on, this light alerts the
driver to the fact that the VDC system’s fail-safe
mode is operating, for example the VDC or hill
start assist system may not be functioning
properly. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service. If a malfunction occurs in the
system, the VDC system function will be
canceled but the vehicle is still driveable. For
additional information, see “Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system” (P.5-138) .
INDICATOR LIGHTS
Automatic Transmission (AT) posi-
tion indicator light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the indicator shows the shift lever
position.
In the manual shift mode, when the transmission
does not shift to the selected gear due to a
transmission protection mode, the AT position
indicator light will blink and a buzzer will sound.
See “Automatic transmission” (P.5-18) for
further details.
