WARNING
.Every person who drives or rides in
this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times. Children should be prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat and,
if appropriate, in a child restraint.
.The seat belt should be properly
adjusted to a snug fit. Failure to do
so may reduce the effectiveness of
the entire restraint system and in-
crease the chance or severity of
injury in an accident. Serious injury
or death can occur if the seat belt is
not worn properly.
.Always route the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your
chest. Never put the belt behind
your back, under your arm or across
your neck. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not
falling off your shoulder.
.Position the lap belt as low and
snug as possible AROUND THE
HIPS, NOT THE WAIST. A lap belt
worn too high could increase the
risk of internal injuries in an acci-
dent..Be sure the seat belt tongue is
securely fastened to the proper
buckle.
.Do not wear the seat belt inside out
or twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
.Do not allow more than one person
to use the same seat belt.
.Never carry more people in the
vehicle than there are seat belts.
.If the seat belt warning light glows
continuously while the ignition is
turned ON with all doors closed and
all seat belts fastened, it may in-
dicate a malfunction in the system.
Have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer.
.No changes should be made to the
seat belt system. For example, do
not modify the seat belt, add mate-
rial, or install devices that may
change the seat belt routing or
tension. Doing so may affect the
operation of the seat belt system.
Modifying or tampering with the
seat belt system may result in
serious personal injury.
.Once a seat belt pretensioner hasactivated, it cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with the
retractor. See a NISSAN dealer.
.Removal and installation of the
pretensioner system components
should be done by a NISSAN dealer.
.All seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected after any colli-
sion by a NISSAN dealer. NISSAN
recommends that all seat belt as-
semblies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was
minor and the belts show no da-
mage and continue to operate prop-
erly. Seat belt assemblies not in use
during a collision should also be
inspected and replaced if either
damage or improper operation is
noted.
.All child restraints and attaching
hardware should be inspected after
any collision. Always follow the
restraint manufacturer’s inspection
instructions and replacement re-
commendations. The child restraints
should be replaced if they are
damaged.1-10

SetupUse the Setup command to change options
associated with the Bluetooth
®Hands-Free
Phone System.
“Pair Phone”
*A
Use the Pair Phone command to pair a phone to
the Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone System.
When you are asked to enter a PIN code for
pairing your Bluetooth
®cellular phone, operate it
to enter the code “1234”. The code is always
“1234” regardless of the number of phones
paired.
NOTE:
The pairing procedure must be performed
when the vehicle is stationary. If the
vehicle starts moving during the proce-dure, the procedure will be cancelled. Also,
see “Pairing procedure” earlier in this
section for additional information.
Up to 5 phones can be paired. If you try to pair a
sixth phone, the system announces that you
must first delete one phone or replace an
existing phone.
If you try to pair a phone that has already been
paired to your vehicle’s system, the system
announces the name the phone is already using.
The pairing procedure will then be canceled.
When prompted by the system, choose from the
following commands:
.“New phone” — see “Pairing procedure”
earlier in this section.
.“Replace phone” — The system announces
the names of the phones already paired and
asks which you would like to replace.
Once you say the name of the phone you
wish to replace, the paring procedure will
begin. (See “Pairing procedure” earlier in
this section.)
.“List phone” — See the description below.
“List Phones”
*B
Use the List Phones command to hear the
names of the phones currently paired. If no
phones are paired, the system announces, “Nopaired phones to list.” The system then ends the
VR session.
“Select Phone”
*C
Use the Select Phone command to select a
phone of lesser priority when two or more
phones paired with Bluetooth
®Hands-Free
Phone System are in the vehicle at the same
time.
The system asks you to name the phone and
confirm the selection.
Once the selection is confirmed, the selected
phone remains active until the ignition switch is
placed in the off position or you select a new
phone.
“Change Priority”
*D
Use the Change Priority command to change
the priority level of the active phone.
The priority level determines which phone is
active when more than one paired Bluetooth
®
phone is in the vehicle.
The system states the priority level of the active
phone and asks for a new priority level (1, 2, 3,
4, 5) .
If the new priority level is already being used for
another phone, the two phones will swap priority
levels.

WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent op-
eration of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
.Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from
sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In
a sudden stop or collision, unse-
cured cargo could cause personal
injury.EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless car-
bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide isdangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
.If you suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering the vehicle, drive with
all windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
.Do not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.
.Do not park the vehicle with the
engine running for any extended
length of time.
.Keep the back door closed while
driving, otherwise exhaust gases
could be drawn into the passenger
compartment. If you must drive with
the back door open, follow these
precautions:
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the
air recirculation to off
and the fan control to high to
circulate the air.
.If electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the back door or
the body, follow the manufacturer’s
recommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle..If a special body, camper or other
equipment is added for recreational
or other usage, follow the manufac-
turer’s recommendation to prevent
carbon monoxide entry into the
vehicle. (Some recreational vehicle
appliances such as stoves, refrig-
erators, heaters, etc. may also gen-
erate carbon monoxide.)
.The exhaust system and body
should be inspected by a qualified
mechanic whenever:
— The vehicle is raised for service.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering into the passenger
compartment.
— You notice a change in the
sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident invol-
ving damage to the exhaust
system, underbody, or rear of
the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYSTThe three-way catalyst is an emission control
device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust
gases in the three-way catalyst are burned at
high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.
