SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING
LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light,
displayingin the instrument panel,
monitors the circuits for the air bag
systems, pretensioners and all related
wiring.
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates for about 7 seconds
and then turns off. This means the system
is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur,
the air bag and/or pretensioner systems
need servicing: .
The supplemental air bag warning
light remains on after approximately
7 seconds.
. The supplemental air bag warning
light flashes intermittently.
. The supplemental air bag warning
light does not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the air bag and/
or pretensioner systems may not operate
properly. They must be checked and
repaired. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning
light is on, it could mean that the
front air bag, knee air bag, side air
bag, curtain air bag and/or preten-
sioner systems will not operate in an
accident. To help avoid injury to
yourself or others, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PRO-
CEDURE
The front air bags, knee air bags, side air
bags, curtain air bags and pretensioners
are designed to activate on a one-time-
only basis. As a reminder, unless it is
damaged, the supplemental air bag
warning light will remain illuminated after
inflation has occurred. These systems
should be repaired and/or replaced as
soon as possible. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
When maintenance work is required on
the vehicle, the front air bags, knee air
bags, side air bags, curtain air bags,
pretensioners and related parts should
be pointed out to the person conducting
the maintenance. The ignition switch
should always be in the LOCK position
when working under the hood or inside
the vehicle.
WARNING
.Once a front air bag, knee air bag,
side air bag or curtain air bag has
inflated, the air bag module will
not function again and must be
replaced. Additionally, the acti-
vated pretensioner must also be
replaced. The air bag module and pretensioner should be replaced.
It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
However, the air bag module and
pretensioner system cannot be
repaired.
. The front air bag, knee air bag,
side air bag, curtain air bag and
the pretensioner should be in-
spected if there is any damage
to the front end or side portion of
the vehicle. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
. If you need to dispose of a sup-
plemental air bag or pretensioner
or scrap the vehicle, it is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN deal-
er. Correct supplemental air bag
and pretensioner system dispo-
sal procedures are set forth in the
appropriate NISSAN Service Man-
ual. Incorrect disposal procedures
could cause personal injury.
. If there is an impact to your
vehicle from any direction, your
Occupant Classification Sensor
(OCS) should be checked to verify
it is still functioning correctly. It is
recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
The OCS should be checked even if no air bags deploy as a result of
the impact. Failure to verify prop-
er OCS function may result in an
improper air bag deployment re-
sulting in injury or death.

TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM).Do not rev
the engine into the red zone
.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the
red zone, shift to a higher gear or
reduce engine speed. Operating the
engine in the red zone may cause
serious engine damage.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature.
The engine coolant temperature is within
the normal range when the gauge needle
points within the zone
shown in the
illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies
with the outside air temperature and
driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature near the hot (H) end of
the normal range, reduce vehicle
speed to decrease temperature. If
gauge is over the normal range, stop
the vehicle as soon as safely possi-
ble. If the engine is overheated,
continued operation of the vehicle
may seriously damage the engine.
See “If your vehicle overheats” (P.6-
14) for immediate action required.

FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximate
fuel level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning, acceleration, or going
up or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty)
after the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers “0” (Empty).
The low fuel warning
appears on the
vehicle information display when the fuel
tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is
convenient, preferably before the gauge reaches “0”. There will be a small reserve
of fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge
needle reaches “0”.
The

is located on the driver’s side of the
vehicle.
CAUTION
. If the vehicle runs out of fuel, themalfunction indicator light
(MIL) may come on. Refuel as
soon as possible. After a few
driving trips, the
light should
turn off. If the light remains on
after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.

“Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)” (P.2-17).WAC0219X
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine lubrica-
tion system oil pressure while the engine
is running. When the engine speed is high,
the engine oil pressure is also high. When
it is low, the gauge indicates the low (L) oil
pressure.
The engine oil pressure is normal when
the gauge points within the zone
shown in the illustration.
CAUTION
.This gauge is not designed to
indicate low engine oil level. Use
