Lower
To lower, push and hold the lock knob
and push the head restraint/headrest
down.
Make sure the head restraint/headrest is
positioned so the lock knob is engaged in
the notch before riding in that designated
seating position.
SSS0508
FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-
STRAINT
The Active Head Restraint moves forward
utilizing the force that the seatback
receives from the occupant in a rear-end
collision. The movement of the head
restraint helps support the occupant’s
head by reducing its backward move-
ment and helping absorb some of the
forces that may lead to whiplash-type
injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for
collisions at low to medium speeds in
which it is said that whiplash injury occurs
most.
Active Head Restraints operate only incertain rear-end collisions. After the colli-
sion, the head restraints return to their
original position.
Adjust the Active Head Restraints prop-
erly as described earlier in this section.

WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATOR
LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS

Low hydraulic pressure warning indica-
tor:
If the brake warning light illuminates
when the engine is running, or while
driving with the parking brake is released,
check the brake fluid level. If the brake
fluid level is sufficient, it may indicate low
hydraulic pressure in the brake booster. It
is recommended that you have the brake
system checked by a NISSAN dealer
promptly.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator:
When the parking brake is released and
the brake fluid level is sufficient, if both
the brake warning light and the Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) warning light illu-
minate, it may indicate the ABS is not
functioning properly. Have the brake
system checked, and if necessary re-
paired. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service. (See “Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS) warning light”
(P.2-15).)
WARNING
.Your brake system may not be
working properly if the warning
light is on. Driving could be dan-
gerous. If you judge it to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Other-
wise, have your vehicle towed
because driving it could be dan-
gerous.
. Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your
stopping distance and braking
will require greater pedal effort
as well as pedal travel.
. If the brake fluid level is below the
minimum or MIN mark on the
brake fluid reservoir, do not drive
until the brake system has been
checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
Charge warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the charge warning light illumi-
nates and then turns off.
If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the charging
system is not functioning properly. Turn
the engine off and check the alternator
belt. If the belt is loose, broken, missing or
if the light remains on, have your vehicle
serviced immediately. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alter-
nator belt is loose, broken or miss-
ing.
Engine oil pressure warning
light
This light warns of low engine oil pres-
sure. If the light flickers or comes on
during normal driving, pull off the road in
a safe area, stop the engine immediately
and call a NISSAN dealer or other author-
ized repair shop.
The engine oil pressure warning light is
not designed to indicate a low oil level.
Use the dipstick to check the oil level.
(See “Engine oil” (P.8-6).)
CAUTION
Running the engine with the engine
oil pressure warning light on could
cause serious damage to the engine
almost immediately. Such damage is
not covered by warranty. Turn off the
engine as soon as it is safe to do so.

5-86Starting and driving
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the ICC system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.The system is primarily intended
for use on straight, dry, open
roads with light traffic. It is not
advisable to use the system in
city traffic or congested areas.
. This system will not adapt auto-
matically to road conditions. This
system should be used in evenly
flowing traffic. Do not use the
system on roads with sharp
curves, or on icy roads, in heavy
rain or in fog.
. As there is a performance limit to
the distance control function,
never rely solely on the ICC sys-
tem. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving, or overcome
poor visibility in rain, fog, or other
bad weather. Decelerate the ve-
hicle speed by depressing the brake pedal, depending on the
distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circum-
stances in order to maintain a
safe distance between vehicles.
. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill within the limitations of
the system. The system will can-
cel once it judges that the vehicle
has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To pre-
vent the vehicle from moving, the
driver must depress the brake
pedal.
. Always pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle and be
ready to manually control the
proper following distance. The
vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode of the ICC system may
not be able to maintain the se-
lected distance between vehicles
(following distance) or selected
vehicle speed under some cir-
cumstances.
. The system may not detect the
vehicle in front of you in certain
road or weather conditions. To
avoid accidents, never use the ICC
system under the following con-
ditions: — On roads where the traffic is
heavy or there are sharp
curves
— On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the system sensor
— On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the set
vehicle speed and frequent
braking may result in over-
heating the brakes)
— On repeated uphill and down- hill roads
— When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper
distance between vehicles be-
cause of frequent accelera-
tion or deceleration
. Do not use the ICC system if you
are towing a trailer. The system
may not detect a vehicle ahead.
. In some road or traffic conditions,
a vehicle or object can unexpect-
edly come into the sensor detec-
tion zone and cause automatic
braking. You may need to control
